I'm sure when the general election starts, it's going to get very very ugly. I've seen McCain in action for quite some time now; His tactics are right out of the Karl Rove/George Bush/Dick Cheney handbook (just look at the way he went at Mitt Romney - he's all about character assassination, not debating actual policy). If McBush wins that means we-the-people really haven't learned anything over the last eight years. If that is the case, I suppose we deserve what we get, which will be complete and utter failure in almost every way imaginable, specifically on the economy, health care, the illegal and false invasion, and the environment. Also we will get more radical right-wingnut Supreme Court Justice's like Alito (Dick Cheney's buddy) that scumbag, or more appointments like Gonzales who stepped down in shame (as well as many other republicans).
I just can't believe that the majority of America would want abortion to be illegal, or their employer health care benefits taken away from them, or the continuation of an illegal and immoral war-for-profit which is ruining our economy, or more of GW's economic and environmental disastrous policies, or more casual lying to the American public, and so on, and so on.... We'd have to be INSANE!
On the other hand, I'm fairly certain the right wingers will be trying to turn this into a black vs white thing (it's already begun actually), or some sort of silly "Obama is a muslim" thing, and if the people are dumber than I think they are, they might have a chance of selling that swill-pill to the people. It doesn't take much to give a racist an excuse not to vote for a black man. Any old excuse will do actually. It may work in states like Kentucky, West Virginia,etc, but hopefully the rest of the world will see the Bush/Rove-ish tactics for what they are. Total inane Crap. They'll be stirring the mud, hoping to get Obama down and dirty. After all, it's really their only chance for winning. What else can they possibly say? The war is doing well? The economy is doing fine? Gas and food are going to get cheaper? Health care, Social Security, Medicare, the environment are going to get fixed and secured for the future? LOL. Nah, they've got nothing to say except things like... did you see what Rev Wright said? Or, to attack his wife, or the old rethuglican scoundrel tactic of accusing Obama of being a Muslim, a terrorist, unpatriotic, etc. LOL.
Nah, this time they've got nothing. It's a democratic year, and nothing short of complete and utter chaos is going to change that imo.
