The Best We Can Do?
August 2nd, 2008 by Kyle
The next time I hear someone complain about having to choose between “the lesser of two evils” for president this year, I’m gonna punch somebody in the face. Maybe them, maybe myself, maybe an innocent puppy. Either way, I’m walking away with a broken hand.
Humanity in general and politics in specific is necessarily a pragmatic beast. Considering the alternatives, we lucked out. Think for a moment about the filthy disgustingness of a Hillary v. Romney campaign season. How many dozens of rounds of culture war TV ads would we have to sit through. Every last trollop of Clinton 1990’s baggage would come out. And that’s before we got saddled with 4 years of a waffling panderer or the dynamic duo of petty and pestilence.
We could face the option of a President Giuliani shudder Who likely would have become the most ill-tempered, secretive, power-hungry president ever. I don’t exaggerate.
The simple fact is that I would take McCain or Obama of ANY of the “also-rans” from either party. Neither are assholes or pansies. neither are beholden to political parties or special interests or rigid ideologies.
Of course we’ll still have to face insane pandering and ridiculously cynical sniping from both campaign. The the beast we feed. Until the American people stop acting and voting like morons. This is the only king of game in town. Still, give the other options, it could be much, much worse.
