Bueno mi gente,

In my search to find positive news for McCain I was perusing through conservative commentary, and/or news with a conservative bias. Other than complaints about coverage, claims of tightening poll numbers (not news, but common sense), and articles defending Palin and accusing Obama of “shady” relationships, the only positive news I could find amongst conservative commentary (so far) was an article in (of all places) The American Conservative in which chief intellectual and early neo-conservative Francis Fukuyama- one of the men who wrote the book on neoconservatism- endorses Obama. Here is some of what he had to say…

I’m voting for Barack Obama this November for a very simple reason. It is hard to imagine a more disastrous presidency than that of George W. Bush. It was bad enough that he launched an unnecessary war and undermined the standing of the United States throughout the world in his first term. But in the waning days of his administration, he is presiding over a collapse of the American financial system and broader economy that will have consequences for years to come. As a general rule, democracies don’t work well if voters do not hold political parties accountable for failure. While John McCain is trying desperately to pretend that he never had anything to do with the Republican Party, I think it would a travesty to reward the Republicans for failure on such a grand scale.

McCain’s appeal was always that he could think for himself, but as the campaign has progressed, he has seemed simply erratic and hotheaded. His choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate was highly irresponsible; we have suffered under the current president who entered office without much knowledge of the world and was easily captured by the wrong advisers. McCain’s lurching from Reaganite free- marketer to populist tribune makes one wonder whether he has any underlying principles at all.

Funny thing I found out about the guy who has supported, reinforced, and basically wrote the policy book for every Republican President after Nixon- he is from the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago! That means Bill Ayers is a “guy from the neighborhood”, and one of the nations foremost neo-cons quite possibly “palled around with terorrists”! I know this doesn’t mean much now that he’s supporting Obama, but doesn’t that mean both Bush’s and Reagan were somehow involved with Ayers as well? I mean, the guy’s a “Chicago politician”, a University professor like Ayers, AND he’s from Hyde Park! Stuff you find out when you do a little research…

Porque yo lo dije!
