building a bridge back to the 20th… er, 19th century

With these words in John McCain’s speech, he revealed the entire focus of his campaign and his party:

“We have to catch up to history.”

So he says that we need to catch up with something that’s inherently in the past.

Sure, John. Yup. Okay.

Is it any wonder that many folks around the world see the United States as backwards and puritan in its ways, culture and beliefs? Well wonder no longer: that’s been the modus operandi for the GOP.

So yes, a McCain administration would be McSame: more of the same detrimental, destructive, divisive politics of BushCo.

No, thanks.

There is one area where McCain was right last night: a change is coming to Washington, DC, in the form of Barack Obama.

    Amen to that.

    We don’t need to be looking back now, like John McCain. He may have an honorable past – but he has no vision.
