Campaign 2008 - The Sideshow Lives
Is it just me or are the presidential candidates playing the Midway instead of the Big Tent? Shouldn’t Paris be in the Sideshow while McCain and Obama tame the terrorist tigers and master international tightrope walking in the Center Ring?
Jeez! Tire gauges and Miss Cowchip, I’ll give you $5,000 - No, I’ll give you $7,000. Drill here, drill there.
We’re talking about being arrogant enough to think we can be the leader of the free world - that kind of arrogance is a good thing. We’re looking for someone who’s the best and the brightest - that’s not elitist, that’s smart. We need a leader who’s looking down the road 20 or 30 years and not just to the next congressional election.
Either we’re all grown-ups here or this kind of lowest-common-denominator high-school-gotcha campaigning will determine who leads us further down the road in the same handbasket we’ve been in for the last generation.
