It is amazing to me just how much safer the United States is when not in an election year cycle. I think back to a time when we were under emanate threat nearly every single day, or at least whenever Senator John Kerry would either gain ground in the polls or make critical statements of the Administration.

Then of course the election was over and through some, lets say unique counts in Ohio, and Florida, President Bush won the second term that his father never did, Kudos kid. Therefore the war in Iraq had produced its intended result, keeping the Republican Party in Power, no matter the consequences to the integrity of the country.
Then came the “Next Great Awakening” of the American people, except those who believe President Bush was hand picked by God, that the foreign policy of Bush II has been a failure, and despite blatant attempts by campaigns to stoke the racial insensitivities of the south, and by insensitivities I mean implying a black man was involved with a white woman, the Republican Party lost control of an ineffective and downgraded institution that had shirked its responsibilities as a check on Presidential Power. Editor’s note: the campaign ad cited above worked as the “Black” candidate ended up losing.

We now have the self-congratulatory Administration cooing that the United States has not had an attack, on US soil, by the vile terrorists because of the great leadership of Sainted Reagan High Priest President Bush. While in the same breath they tell you to pay no mind to the fact that it had been seven years between the attacks on the World Trade Center by terrorist organizations of the Islamic persuasion. Yet we are to believe that was more because of terrorist ineptitude and laziness, rather than the vigilance of the Clinton Administration.
We are now supposed to praise this Administration for the “actions” they have taken in regards to the British government capturing a terrorist ring, and earlier this week those who would have attacked an embassy in Azerbaijan. Except that we only have the Administration’s highly-esteemed credibility to saying they were even peripherally involved.

We can only wonder what kind of tricks to be played during this coming election. Especially when the Republican Party is facing a very tenuous situation. They do not have an ordained leader who has the Blessing of Ronald Reagan, peace be upon him. The candidate that is most staunch in the conservative philosophy is Senator john McCain, who lost to Bush in part because of phone polls asking, “Would you be more or less likely to vote for McCain if you knew he had an illegitimate child with a black woman.” These were performed by an organization that was Bush Affiliated. So unlike teh Republican Party to use race in order to obtain power.
Instead they seem to be deciding upon a Mayor of a Blue State that is Catholic, and a Governor of another Blue State that is Mormon. Both groups have been reviled by the Evangelical Protestants that believe everyone but them is either destroying America or gay, ironic in the sense that it seems to be it is they are the ones destroying America and turn out to be gay.

And who do they have running against them? The wildly popular Senator Barak Obama, whose speech at the DNC electrified the audience and gave us a glimpse of the type of leadership that could have united our political differences rather than continuing to tear us apart. The other strong candidate is of course a Senator from New York, who also happens to be the wife of a President who did lead us to prosperity and understands the complexities that exist within the world. These examples in leadership is even more refreshing when one looks at the “example” of leadership Bush and Cheney give to us.

So while the personalities of our candidates may not be as bold or alluring which is what I kept hearing during Bush II’s first campaign. “He is so personable while Gore is so boring” PEOPLE, this is for the Presidency of the United States, not a contest of who you want to have a beer with. We have seen what happens when we elect someone solely on the fact that we may like them, and well how bad can he screw up? Keeping the American people from making this mistake for a third consecutive Presidential Race is our true Campaign Tribulation.
