The Idiot and the Inflection Point
Some interesting videos for you to watch, try to watch them in the order presented....
First off, we have John McCain. A Spanish reporter asks him if he, as President, will consider meeting with the Spanish leader, Zapatero, and if he will invite him to the White House. It's a pretty basic, easy question, considering that Spain is our NATO ally, supported us in Iraq, etc. There's absolutely no reason *not* to meet with Zapatero, right?
Or maybe you would prefer the animated version of his interview. It's every bit as shocking, but there's a whole lot more comic relief.
If you want to read more about McCain's disastrous environmental record, or how scary and extreme his voting record on women's healthcare and reproductive rights is, or maybe how Palin's poisonous sprawl-and-polluter-friendly policies killed the lake in Wasilla. Did you know that Sarah Palin offers a $150 bounty for each severed wolf foreleg turned in? Hey Sarah...this is 2008, not 1908. I thought we were done with all that brutal wildlife destruction frontier yahoo stuff.
Next off, we have Joe Biden. Please be sure to note how spot-on his comments are. There is no time left for America to keep fucking up. The clock is at five minutes to midnight already. Tell 'em, Joe....
When he mentioned the "inflection" point, I almost swooned. I heart this man.
"Just imagine a country that believes in science again"....oh, sweet music to my ears!
Are you still with me? OK, one more video, if you have the stamina. This one is Barack Obama, covering the main points of his Plan, and yes people, he has a Plan. Unlike, ahem...John McCain.
And if you would like to know the fine details, you are welcome to read the full text of the plan on his website. Details aplenty there. I think a few points could be better, specifically healthcare reform. I want universal health care for all Americans. I want a complete overhaul of the current system, which isn't too likely to happen.
Obama's solution is still drastically better than McCain's, which would actually tax you on the healthcare benefits provided by your employer (if you are lucky enough to receive them) without changing anything else about the system. Same old crappy system, now costing you *more* money! Sweet!
