To paraphrase Julian Bond; The Republicans are shameless, the Democrats, spineless.
As it turned out, this was not the ‘most important election of my lifetime.’ That election was in November, 2000.
That was the time to fight, to wail, to win.
This year’s campaigners and get-out-the-vote folks remind me of those people who doggedly watch CNN FN or subscribe to Money magazine.
They’ll hear that Google is the stock to buy, and there they are buying up stock at $190, when the time to buy was a month ago when it was $90 or $100.
The time to fight is always NOW. We can’t wait until ‘things get bad’ to fight the good fight. The time to fight was during the Clinton administration when certain Senators were blocking judicial nominations. The time to fight was during the Gingrich revolution. The time to fight was when the Florida recount hung in the balance.
Now is the time to fight those who want to prevent gay marriage. Now is the time to fight those who would overturn a woman’s right to choose.
If not now, when? In 2008 when that becomes the most important election of our lifetime?
Maybe $3 billion dedicated to stem cell research can lead to a cure for spinlessness in Democrats.
