How Should We Judge the Candidates?
To begin with, we have had the same two families in the White House, since 1988. This is almost like if we had a dynastic monarchy again.
Although an enlightened monarchy might be a better solution than our present “democratic” system, in which presidents and other politicians are not really elected by popular vote, what is going on here?
Are Jenna or Chelsea next in line?
Why should we even consider having someone as president, who has consistently voted along with the neocons for the Iraq war?
The lowest in decades, or maybe even centuries international standing of the United States hasn’t happened overnight, but it did come about rather quickly – in just a few short years.
The highest budget deficit in the World’s history also came about rather quickly, but we certainly did manage to make a bunch of billionaires out of many millionaires – with our money.
The cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars could top $2 trillion, or more, the same amount that avian flu pandemic could cost.
Considering all of that, and much, much more, shouldn’t the presidential candidates, who have played along with this game, be disqualified up front, before all the caucuses, primaries, conventions and yes, the November, 2008 elections?
