It absolutely nonplusses me how fast things can change in the world.
It’s like God in heaven decided to postpone the End Times by a decade or two.
I’m fired up for the ticket and will soon contribute and get some bumper stickers and yard signs. A first for me.
But I cannot but be cognizant of the mountain McCain has to climb. DC is a hell-hole of corruption and entrenched self-interest. Seems that every senator has relatives who have joined the lobbyist gravy train. McCain will be the greatest wielder of the veto pen in history. Maybe Palin can go over the heads of the criminal comgress to the American people as Reagan did. McCain cannot do this. He just doesn’t have what it takes.
IF a giant hole opened up and swallowed DC there might be a real chance for reform but two people alone cannot make much of a difference against the greatest mountain of sin and evil ever heaped up.
Together McCain and Palin may be able to accomplish more cost cutting if they can get a Line Item Veto bill passed that will stand up to SCOTUS’ scrutiny..That would really break the back of wasteful spending and it is time that the Line Item Veto became part of American law..After all this is 2008, not 1776 and the Constitution was made to be adaptable through the system of checks and balances..
I agree that it sure seems as though Heaven is mercifully delaying the day of reckoning so Americans can come to their senses..There is also much need for reform in other areas of our society, not just the government spending reforms that are needed...
