I just finished watching a few minutes of MSNBC's Morning Joe. Obama's campaign should have been doing the same this morning. The McCain campaign just painted itself into a corner; will Obama wait for the paint to dry?
The "debate" on universal health care in the United States was morphed into debacle because of selfish natures of political leaders and intellectual laziness of us citizens. Now, proponents have planned the details and strategized the plans, particularly with respect to funding—just like the opponents said they wanted. Now, opponents have simply rebuked these efforts by labeling the issue as "socialized medicine." Again. Is this the end of discussion or will the majority of Americans now say ENOUGH?
Iraq War apologists have repeatedly stated that the military surge in Iraq worked; that the U.S. military surge task has eradicated Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq. Hurray, we are winning the war! NOT. How is 'saying the surge worked' hypocritical and the mark of self-delusion?
Abortion is a litmus test issue for many Americans. From the decade before the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, to the platform spin machine of Ronald Regan's candidacy for president appealing to evangelical politics, this issue has been clouded with rhetoric. In response to "pro-choice," evangelicals framed "pro-life." Is the anti-choice position extremist or hypocritical or both?
