| Yesterday, I voted for the ticket I wanted to see in office. One of the two people on that ticket was African-American, a fact I long ago disregarded as irrelevant. But this time, I didn't have to cast that vote as a write-in. |

Y'all just don't get it, do you. Even on this historic of historic nights, when a nation proved its worth, the context seems completely lost on everyone I talk to. This election cycle was founded upon, and driven by, the overriding need to transition the United States from a puppet state--caught up in the global struggle which have infested politics--back to a functioning democracy. Such a need put Mike Bloomberg in Oklahoma, with Gail Norton, Sam Nunn, and a host of others, to plan a contingency candidacy. Such a foundation put Barack Obama, John McCain, John Edwards, and Fred Thompson into the race. By running again, Senator McCain held open the door for his party, giving them one last chance to own up to being American. Nobody else showed up, the RNC's demographic factions continued to base themselves on demography, and the Democrat party flipped into the Democratic Party, by the force of numbers harnessed by Senator Obama. Let me say that again: Nobody else showed up, and the controlling factions of the RNC didn't bother to act like real Americans. With no real purpose left, McCain opted in July to allow the Bush Administration to take over his campaign, and took a bystander's role atop the ticket. From that point, it was simply a matter of playing out the clock, and allowing the remnants of Republicans to take flight. Hence, the adviser replacements; hence, the Palin selection; hence the slippery slope downward to isolation, which has culminated in the stark outline presented by the map. Now, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have been selected, by the resulting majority, to run the Executive, and by extension, to lead the nation and the free world. The Jack Kingstons, the Mark Feins, the Michelle Bachmanns, the Bill and Hillary Clintons, the Sean Hannitys, the Keith Olbermanns, the Joe Scarboroughs, the Al Sharptons, and every single taliban in the U.S., all had a big, fat FAIL hung on their necks tonight, courtesy the people who are tired of their bullshit. Mission Accomplished people. Tomorrow, the real work begins. |
