Painfully Obvious.

Our competition is not so much other television shows as it is Guitar Hero.

In some places I found that Democrats were imitating Republican methods. They excused it by saying that they were fighting the devil with fire. This is no excuse. It is poor policy to fight the devil with fire. He knows more about fire than you do and does not have to pay so much for fuel.

Instead of actually performing as a watchdog over Bush’s already out‐of‐control domestic spies, [Ranking Democrat on Senate Intelligence Committee Jay] Rockefeller spent most of his time hiding under his desk, issuing secret letters of “protest” that he showed to no one, and which — astoundingly! — had no effect. His excuse, of course, was that he feared revealing critical “national security” information. But as people who actually know what they’re talking about have pointed out, Rockefeller blew it HUGE, failing to understand the constitutional imperative of speaking out, and the protections available to him in doing so. He is a stone moron, and it will cost you your freedom some day very soon.

I want someone who can lead the country. When people grow cynical and detached from government, or blinded by partisanship, evil runs amok. Obama represents an honest shot at making our government something we can be proud of. I’m tired of throwing things at CNN. I’m tired of feeling depressed when I read speeches by the founding fathers. I want Jon Stewart to smile again. For a brief moment, next Tuesday, we’ll have a shot at finally getting things right. Please help.

It is part of the myth of America that anyone can be President. For the past 20 years, it’s been true that anyone can be President so long as they are called Bush or Clinton. If Hillary spends two terms in the White House, family dynasties will have commanded the Great Republic for more than a quarter of a century. At an Obama event in New York, I saw a placard with a potent slogan. It simply said: “The White House is not a time share.”

As I told a Republican friend this morning, it is with some regret and chagrin that I am forced to recognize that the only serious opposition to McCain within Republican circles appears to be from people with active personality disorders.
