McCain had so many things right going into 2000. I am disappointed he has altered his persona and ideals so much so that he has become un-electable. I hope he had remained the man that he was then. He could have won this. The pursuit of power corrupts.
I am a Democrat, and I do not delude myself into thinking that Obama will radically, or even moderately change the US government. "Yes we can" change, but at a snail's pace. The fire that burns under our ass is not big enough yet to quicken our step. It took Bush 8 years to alter, aka absolutely and totally "ram-rod f*ck"it to its current state, and that was only through a fundamental change fueled by the tragedy of September 11, 2001.
Seeing President Bush and a Republican-dominated legislature in power for the good part of my adult life, I fear for our country if Democrats own both the legislative and executive branches of our government. Sure, change is coming, but our future history will decide whether this change was good.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I hope Obama does not let the Democratic party run amok and ruin it all like the GOP party of the past decade.
** side note
Every single network reporter is grabbing any african-american near him/her and asking them how they "feel". The rest of us folk can appreciate the advance of civil rights too man!
I hope Sarah Palin does decide to try to lead the GOP party. SNL needs material!
