A Father's Day message to remember
I'm voting for John McCain, at this point, at least until I hear from Barack Obama that he is not pressing for a withdrawal (and abandoning his regressive trade, health care, and other economic policies would be persuasive to me, as well).
But I have to say that when Obama makes speeches like this one, he makes it very difficult for conservatives to dismiss him.
That's how it should be. That's what I want to keep seeing this election. I want to see both of these candidates keep taking the high ground and competing for who can take the highest ground, not who can sling the lowest blows.
This is a good opening gambit by Obama. We'll see what McCain has to offer.
And I have to say for McCain's sake and the sake of conservatives, if they go for the low blow, they're going to get their asses handed to them. And if they keep down that path, I might be one of the people handing it to them.
Buck up, little soldiers. Make your children proud this election.
And if you don't, look forward to sitting it out for 4 years.
Because we are changing the way elections are run, this time around.
Happy Father's Day.
