TheBreeze: I don’t disagree with a lot of what you say, especially the failure of the Republican Party to police it’s own worst elements and excesses. The GOP has become a laughable lampoon, and has abandoned it’s compass, both fiscal and moral.
However, and this is where I part company with you: The Democrats don’t offer a better solution. Obama does not have the record to support his claim of offering post-partisan politics, and both Dems and Repubs are turning this campaign into a veritable circus.
What’s that old expression? “In war, the first casualty is the truth”. We have sacrificed fair play, meaningful dialogue and the truth, all in the name of partisan politics. The Democrats can scarcely contain their glee at the plight of the Republicans, but are not offering much in the way of a true solution. Both parties are falling all over themselves to “save” the economy and no one wants to reveal the truth to the American people: That both parties are equally culpable in the collapse of the American middle class, our educational system and the ability of this nation to compete on an equal footing with the rest of the world.
Instead, we have gulled the rest of the world into believing that our ability to push worthless paper and “create” new ways to “make” money is somehow able to sustain this massive mountain of debt, both governmental and commercial.
George W. Bush was simply the last logical step in an impending collapse. We got exactly what we, the collective “we”, voted for and deserved.
