Yes, it seems as though the best chance Senator John McCain thinks he has is to throw mud, and he has begun the slinging by continuing the nonsensical charges about an association with someone who was a sixties radical that has been debunked in the major press outlets.\u00a0 Meanwhile, those same outlets (Reuters, CNN, New York Times) are reporting a gross abuse of power by McCain’s running mate, Governor Sarah Palin.\u00a0 What’s the chance that he has actually associated with Mrs. Palin?\u00a0 And this is the thing that scares me the most about this Republican ticket.\u00a0 Normally, I could care less about the VP pick.\u00a0 However, as the current VP has demonstrated an unhealthy predilection to abuse his power, I would like to see the practice stop.\u00a0 Worse, McCain is no spring chick.\u00a0 He could actually die in office, and this woman would then be able to continue her perssonal crusades, not from the Governor’s office, but from the Whitehouse.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, President Bush is nowhere to be found, except in a sketchy piece in today’s New York Times, in which he told people that it’s a good thing he’s still president and that he wouldn’t have wanted to deal with the economic mess his own deregulation helped create day one in office.\u00a0 The problem with this statement is that he has spoiled nearly everything he has touched: our budget, education, foreign policy, our Constitution & Bill Of Rights, our standing in the world, and many other things.\u00a0 Please let’s hope the damage can be contained by a prompt change of power.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
