美国打伊拉克,打了这么久,花钱、死人无数,还不见何时了结。不是天怒人怨,也是怨声载道了。最近的房市、股市危机,不仅让美国人心惊肉跳,更让全世界跟着遭殃。谁都知道,是到了该改变的时候了。这都是不争的事实,没有谁看不见,除非你是瞎子,或装着看不起见,或睁眼说瞎话。
可怎么改变?是变好还是变坏呢?当然,谁都希望变好,可不是谁都能变好。不幸的是,结局常常会变糟,而非人们所期望的变好。共产党在大陆取代国民党,民进党在台湾取代国民党,莫不如此。要想变好,就得选靠得住的、有人格、有经验的人出来领导。
打一个不那么恰当的比喻,美国就像一辆破车,行在凹凸不平的路上。布什就是一头倔马,在破路上,拉着破车横冲直撞;奥巴马像是一头没有训练过的犟骡子;而麦肯则像是一头拉过套的老牛。这个时候,是该换下倔马了,美国这辆破车再也经不起折腾了,谁也受不了。那么,你要换上奥巴马这头没有训练过、没有经验的犟骡子吗?他是年轻力壮,很招人喜欢,可他十有八九是会把车拉到沟里去,拉下悬崖。你如果还有头脑,还没睡着,你敢坐他拉的车?麦肯这头老牛,也许你看不上眼,但他拉过套,有经验。他也许没有倔马或犟骡拉的快,但你大可安心休息,他肯定不会把车拉到沟里或拉下悬崖。
聪明人、智慧人,不要让你的眼睛欺骗了你!为了你自己,为了你的孩子,用你的脑子投上你的一票吧!
If you really care about the future generations like I do, you really should not vote for a Republican president this time. Republicans have not been fiscially responsible since Reagon era. We are currently borrowing money to finance the war, yet we continue to overspend with no tax increase. Who is going to pay for all that ? your and my future generation.
I am sure that grumpy and old man is more experienced in the same old wagon, but that wagon is still going in the same completely wrong direciton. I gave my first eligible vote to Bush's first term 8 years ago, because his platform appeared to be moderate plus I was sickend by Clinton's scandal. Bush had much better plan for both finanical and campaign reform than McCain then. Unfortunately, Bush had no judgement in using the right people like General Colin Powell. Furthermore, he caved in to Gingrich and the Religious Right. His reforms did not get anywhere. Worst of all, he hijacked the whole country into his religious war, which has been a total disaster.
McCain's pick of VP candidate further demonstrates that he will also cave in to the same Republican Right. He was not better than Bush then, and he will not be better than Bush in the future.
Also remember that it is more critical for the president to have the right team, and also listen to the.. Sure that 08 is not experienced enough, neither was Clinton then. But judging from how he learnt, listened and worked with his previous opponents like Hilary and Biden, he is much more hopeful to be a good president.
