During this election season, which is alternately boring and depressing the hell out of me, one thought keeps bubbling into my head. Here it is:
All right, at this point most people agree that George W. Bush has been a pretty terrible president right? And that the Iraq war has been pretty much a quagmire that was poorly planned and run from the start? So, if this is true then surely you have to give some credit to the people who predicted this 8 and 5 years ago right? The people who said, “Bush will be a terrible president” and “The Iraq was is a really bad idea”. So now, when those same people are saying “Voting for John McCain is a really bad idea, Sarah Palin is a terrible choice for vp, etc. etc.” wouldn’t it be a good idea to listen to them? I mean they’ve got a good track record on the whole “being right” thing. Certainly better then the “Iraq war will pay for itself”, “greeted as liberators”, “Thank god Bush is our president not Gore” crowd. Maybe, just maybe, this time we should give them the benefit of the doubt?
Just something to think about.
