I wonder…
I have noticed lately that John McCain is rarely discussed on talk radio. He seems to be hibernating. Lurking in the shadows, waiting to see who his ultimate rival is.
With the LOUD voice we Americans mustered up last summer regarding the immigration “reform” bill McCain was co-sponsoring getting knocked out cold, I figured there was no way in hell that he would make it through as the Republican nomination for President. Boy, did I not see that one coming.
Now I wonder how things are going to play out. I’m going to play “NFL commentator” for just a moment. I anticipate that once we have the Democrat nominee hammered out, we’ll see the platforms and the stories change. All candidates are still in the process of pandering to the moderates and extremists in their respective parties. These are intelligent people, so they probably know that they will not win the election without a significant amount of the independent vote. And THAT means, that once the nominations are official, we’ll hear very different versions of their prose and plans now tailored to be more in the middle, where the majority of independents lie.
What should that tell us? Well, I think you can figure it out. And unless we have an honest, honorable, real American jump in the race under the Independent ticket, we are either headed for more of the same plus amnesty (McCain), the new North Mexico (Billary), or “hard-working-Americans-being-flat-broke-due-to-numerous-new-social-programs” AND amnesty (Obama). Either way you slice it, this country becomes less and less BY and FOR the people.
With respect to the candidates changing their pitches to us gullible Americans…just watch…I’m willing to bet on it.
Peace…
