I lost most of my respect for Bill Clinton quite awhile ago, but the speech he gave tonight at the Democratic National Convention, following on Hillary’s excellent speech last night, was awesome and he earned some of it back very quickly.
By nature, I’m not really a “joiner.” I dislike political parties, and have major reservations about our political systems in general, but I’ll tell you what: It’s time to take the White House back from the incompetent, corrupt lunatics that have been such a disaster for the last 8 years. Bush is a traitor to most of the ideals that America was founded upon (if never acted close to perfectly upon), and McCain appears to back most of what he’s done. All signs point to a McCain administration looking a lot like a Bush adminstration: Driven by misplaced idealism rather than pragmatism, incompetent in practice, and terrible for both America and the world at large.
Go Barack Obama!
