Yesterday's VP debate between Cheney and Edwards was sorta DARTH
VADER vs. LUKE SKYWALKER!
Cheney, who is really the PRESIDENT IN FACT, was full of his
own "gravitas." But his notions and ideas had an intellectual
bankruptcy that pervades all things in the Bush White House nowadays.
Edwards seemed young, (Good for him! A neat trick for an "over-50.")
Edwards had the optimism and spirit that you seek in a politican with
new ideas.
BASICALLY, IT WAS DO YOU WANT THE SAME OLD, SAME OLD DARTH VADER
GLOOM AND DOOM?
OR, IS IT TIME FOR A CHANGE OF DIRECTION AND A CHANGE OF POLICY AND A
CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP.
MY HUNCH IS THAT BUSH/CHENEY ARE SERIOUSLY DAMAGED GOODS ON THE WORLD
STAGE.....AND FOUR MORE YEARS COULD BE A BIT MORE THAN THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE CAN HANDLE.
I THINK EVERYONE WILL REALIZE THIS, ONCE THEY ARE IN THE PRIVACY OF
THE VOTING BOOTH.
WILL THE VOTERS REALLY PULL THAT BUSH/CHENEY LEVER---AND WALK OUT?
HOW WILL THE BUSH VOTERS FEEL "IN THE MORNING," WHEN MATT AND KATY
TELL THEM: FOUR MORE YEARS! Oh, my God! What have I done!
More Wars! The Draft! The Deficits! Bankruptcy! Greed! Hate!
Terror! No middle east policy! The Lukudnics running foreign
policy! No health care solutions!
OR, WILL THEY PULL THE BUSH LEVER; THEN PUSH IT BACK UP;
AND GO FOR KERRY/EDWARDS AT THE VERY, VERY LAST MINUTE?
I THINK HOPE AND OPTIMISM AND CHANGE WILL TRUMP FEAR AND GREED AND
HATE IN THE END!
I STILL HAVE HOPE FOR A STORY BOOK ENDING HERE! A HOLLYWOOD ENDING
IF YOU LIKE.
THE UNDERDOG ALWAYS BEATS THE "FORCES OF EVIL" IN AMERICA! BUT!
BUT, SOMETIMES, LIKE IN A GREAT BASKETBALL GAME, YOU NEVER KNOW UNTIL
THE LAST FIVE SECONDS IN THE GAME!
HOPE vs. FEAR? WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?
Postscript: To Edwards: And, I'm glad you didn't try to pull
Cheney's face off right at the end! And then, scream: Why Daddy!
Why! Why! THAT would have been a little "too Hollywood!" GOOD JOB!
NICE SET UP FOR FRIDAY!
