There are times when I’m sure the United States won’t survive the remaining days until we elect our next president…let alone the day after. As I watch the McCain campaign succumb to increasingly divisive acts of desperation…fomenting fear and animosity by directing innuendo at ignorance…I can’t help but question the recklessness of his ambition.
If the role of leadership is to advance our society, then political appeals predicated upon a least common denominator equation are an affront to that objective. Frankly, it’s difficult to blame those voters who are vulnerable to gutter politics as a result of generational prejudices, isolation from mitigating influences, and limited educational opportunities. Notwithstanding, there is great danger in inciting those who lack the tools to make objective conclusions.
Those who willfully engage in this kind of misdirection are little more than manipulative opportunists who must be exposed and rejected. Dividing this nation to advance one’s ego is an admission that the advancement of the ego supersedes the enlightenment of the electorate.
Hay, what can you expect from vampires, McBush et al?
