Fighting the War on Error

One more Bush? Let's hope not...

I saw this today on Crooks & Liars (via Needlenose) and I got a kick out of it - I've been saying it to friends for weeks now as well as writing it - a vote for John McSame is a vote for effectively a third Bush term. (It's actually a GIF, but I had trouble making it work on the CMB home page, but you can get the original by visiting Needlenose.)

Anyway, a third Bush term would unquestionably spell disaster for this country environmentally, economically, culturally, socially and politically, to say nothing about what it will do to our foreign policy, Supreme Court, civil "liberties" (the ones we have left) and our already gutted and overtaxed military.

As citizens, we really have to guard against the dog's breakfast and slop the mainstream media will undoubtedly feed us this summer and fall. I don't care about what supporters of the various nominees said - I want to know what these candidates will offer us once they get into office, Period. What's sad is that many voters will get distracted, or will vote on one issue; the moderates who fall into that category are the ones who need to be persuaded about what an unmitigated disaster.
