Good Lord. As the country rolls out the blue carpet for Big Government, those of us who are capable of tying our shoes without assistance are left to reminisce on the good years. There's a possibility that things won't head south faster than overweight retirees, just as there's a chance that the Big Three will somehow solve their health-care and labor costs and react faster to market demands. Sound likely?
With a housing bust and manufacturing slowdown on the horizon, add Iraq and the Dems can virtually follow the Yelow Brick Road to their very own Oz. The death of the current presidency won't be pretty. Poor W will be in the awkward position of watching himself slide into mediocrity. Not that he won't try to stop it, I think we know he's a strong willed guy. But......
To be honest, I'm not certain which is more frightening: the results, or the voters. Now more than ever, we have an extremely uneducated voter turnout. I'm not speaking of their actual intelligence, although I wonder. I've never, personally, seen the kind of animosity directed toward a person and lack of attention to any real issues. Of course, voting against someone without basis is equally as bad a running a campaign on the "I'm not him" standpoint, which seems to be what I've heard for a few years. In their defense, what else could they do? Politicizing anything and everything, creating wedge issues, in essence, they've succeeded in polarizing the country.
I don't know about you, but I just bought 4000 acres in Texas. I've tentatively named it "The Longest Sigh. Ever." If any of you need a place to crash during the fallout, feel free to call.
