It’s Their Fault

I just had this terrifying vision…

It would be the height of Boomer style politics.  Totally irrelevant to any kind of policy/ideological coherence, purely ambition driven, the height of cynicism, a disaster to the United States in nearly every way.

…and they would win by a gigantic margin.

The thought that such a grossly cynical ticket would overrun the general election should be enough to scare young people to get out and vote and do whatever else they can to get politically involved.  The Boomer way of thinking still drives this country’s politics, and even if Obama gets elected that fact won’t change any time soon.   But he’s the best hope for getting the wheels in motion before it is too late.

I think McCain would be completely down for it, too; at this point it is clear that there is no guiding vision or thought about improving the country to his campaign (since the media doesn’t care about it)–he simply wants to win this contest.  If he were convinced Hil would make him win, he’d say yes.  I like to think that it wouldn’t happen because that Hillary is cares enough about the country to not accept such a call.  But who knows…

Now I’m going to be looking at ways to leave the country all day…
