Lately we have been hearing a lot of squawking and screeching emanating from the conservative right wing about a revolution.
This is rather perplexing given that we recently had an election in which the elected President won rather substantially without the need for voter caging, voter suppression, election fraud, recounts, recount shut downs, lawsuits and the Supreme Court. Nor was it necessary to bring in the likes of a Swift Boat attack machine and a corrupted Secretary of State (R-OH) to deliver a win in a razor thin, close election.
And despite all of the problems we face in these dire and stressful times the President's approval ratings remain in the 60's. Today it is at 67%. Today an ABC/Washington Post poll also reveals 65% trust President Obama to handle relations with Muslim nations.
So, what is the problem? Why is a revolution necessary now?
Today is my son's birthday. He is working for the Obama campaign as a field organizer in southwestern Va. This diary is written in honor of his birthday and for his hard work on the campaign trail.
What is it about Republicans and their knack for choosing unqualified and bungling candidates on the top or bottom of their tickets?
It appears that 2008 is no different from 2004 in terms of choices where the worst of the worse of Republican candidates are concerned. History will prove, in no uncertain terms, that W. is the worst president in recent times. His ratings are plummeting downward, especially since the financial melt down on Wall St. Whether Republicans care to admit it or not the GOP delivered three extraordinary calamities since 2000: 9/11, Iraq and the Wall Street crash of September 29, 2008.
Is John McCain really a different kind of Republican? Let's hear what CNN's Jack Cafferty has to say about McCain and the current financial disaster on Wall St.
