McCain is Boring

Polls indicate that the American people are not happy with the direction of the country. Obama agrees and has inspired and invigorated our democracy with calls for such change complete with detailed plans. He has a lifetime of experience in fighting for it.

But what is the opposition to do with such a threat to their power? The answer has been recently to paint the interest and support he has generated as a product of mere celebrity. Here is what I think is really going on.

John McCain is boring. He is boring because he has largely abandoned his calls for reform in order to parrot the current President and firm up his political base. Politicians who sell out so completely are so common place that the public almost views it as a requirement of office. He is boring because he supports so many of Bush’s failed plans that he may soon advocate for the invasion of Canada, hoping that Al Qaeda would arrive in order to retroactively justify what would otherwise be completely irrational, wasteful, and immoral. This is why if he were to visit Portland or Philly, there would be no sea of people inspired to take to the streets.

Compared to the interest and passion Obama has earned through his smart and well articulated ideas, McCain’s only hope is negative attacks and deception. The problem for America is that Mark Twain may have been right: “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." So when the enemies of progress try to use deception and fear to scare you into voting against the interests of your family and the interest of the people, tell them this time you know better.
