With all the intrinsic and volatile definitive problems and threats facing Americans from within our borders and from consequences emanating from more than a few countries, Election 2008 is digressing and imploding. I am reminded of our beloved and effective former President Reagan when he looked across the table at his Democrat adversary and simply said the words "There you go". Reagan. in those days could take an opponent out with less than one sentence. So far in 2008 we are witnessing lawsuits designed to alter the conclusion of a primary, candidates completely dismissing American voters in certain states in an unprecedented political chess game that smacks of maneuvering a win instead of solving our problems, racial divide replete with incredible and often offensive statements, gender considerations that are for the most part ill advised, dispositions on flying the Confederate Flag, religious intolerance and on another note-fear of religious fanaticism. There you go. We have seen this ying yang politics before only now we may have to actually prevent emerging markets from controlling our financial institutions, eventually bring a wheelbarrow full of cash to the Exxon station, and lose our jobs forever. While the auto industry may conceivably defer to the Japanese soon as the Camry surpasses our mid-size entries and auto workers are experiencing a building sense of repetitive alienation and unmitigated despair, our crop of candidates continue their dog and pony show. I am beginning to anticipate a brokered or contrived convention scenario because we need a dark horse somewhere along the line. Someone with specific plans versus flowery prose and empty inconsequential rhetoric. I'll give you the quote one more time "There you go"
