Like a Breast of Fresh Hair

by Rhonda Chriss Lokeman

John McCain supporters loved it when he turned to That One and said: "Sen. Obama, I am not President Bush. If you wanted to run against President Bush, you should have run four years ago. I'm going to give a new direction to this economy and this country."

From then on, John McCain spent the night proving himself wrong.

As we say here in Banjo Country, "Good-looking, but not too bright."

Gotta give McCain credit, though. He could have turned to Barack ...

I have a question. Where do those of us fit in who actually like President Bush, agree with his policies, and would like to see more of the same? I really would like someone to explain to me what would be wrong with four more years of tax cuts, dead terrorists, and other forms of decisive & principled leadership.

Re: Matt; Sir,...In answer to your question: Look about you.... The past of America's greatest moments are still before us has become: lookout!, Here comes another great depression... The past leads inevitably to the future, especially for those without the wits to get out of the way... It was stupid to fight against Islam on foreign shores, but that only cost billions and a few thousand American lives... Every republican has more lives than a cat, but the ones they throw away or ruin never belong to them.... I wonder, given our Abbu Gareb, our Guantonimo Bay torture institution, our domestic surveilence, our use of threats and firings to enforce political will at the justice department what you would call unprincipaled leadership... Sure it was decisive, but ill concieved. Fools rush in and take the nation along for the ride... Was there a better way??? Sure, but one only open to democracy... Those people could not touch us until we invited them in. And then we decided to go there to make targets of ourselves... Never let your enemy have the choice of battlefield, or let your dead head president have his way... Try to remember that if we were a democracy, we would always play defense... That is what democracies are: Defensive Forms of Relationship. When our rich demand that the country defend their interests, and do not pay for the privilage; we go broke... When we live on short wages and no hope, while the rich get richer, until we have to depend upon credit, we are a shot market for all we produce, which is not much... I am afraid you are going to find your world changing... I want you to be prepared for some changes... If you like your world as it is you may be disappointed... In a few months or a year, you may be cursing the name of Bush, and seeing him for a fool... I don't think you could have found anyone to be president so bent on doing everything wrong, pissing away our money, and military strength, and lives, and generally convincing many in the world that we will never improve, and cannot be trusted... There are many bad people in the world...We only empower them by acting stupid... Follow your leader sir. Consider it as an intelligence test... Thanks...Sweeney
