| He can pledge to change the way things work, but all that does is leave him blaming the corporate government for being successful against his wishes. Governments and Presidents come and go, but the civil service is a constant, he can have them pretend to dance and make the right noises if that's what makes him feel good, but he knows and they know he'll be gone long before doing any long term damage.
Also, as you say he describes spending as out of control, naturally charging the current gov with impropriety which is fair enough and part of his job in opposition...but should (or the hildebeast) capture the WH, do you or anyone else sincerely believe spending will be cut, or capped, or will it continue on its de facto roll but perhaps with a greater share directed towards the lower levels of society?
And I too would like him to be more specific, as to what he intends to do in Iraq, if withdrawal then how, before drawing him out on health, immigration, national security and other issues that have not yet been and will not be aggressively debated until we know who is leading the Dems.
For now he can gripe about the current gov for all he's worth, and it certainly looks like a major part of his campaign has him as the good guy saving the US from 8 years of Bush...unfortunately that doesn't pan out in politics, and he will need more than talk to swindle his way past the fickle, but not brain dead, American voter. |
