So we’re down to the last 4 days of fear, slander, robocalls, and division. 4 more days of conspiracy theories, tapes that “prove” something, wailing, and gnashing of teeth. What then, my fundie, Evangelical wingnut comrades? Will the Rapture come? Will the heavens split open and claim souls? Or will you kick and scream your way into the 21st Century?

In case no one has noticed, we’re on the precipice of progress. Much to the chagrin of both the far left and the far right, an Obama Administration will most likely look rather centrist. January 20th will not resemble a Gay Pride Parade, abortions will not be conducted at a state fair booth, and 50Cent will not be the Secretary of the Treasury. All of the fears of the right will ring hollow and empty, like the heads of those that purported them.

However, there is a necessity, and the impending reality, of a giant paradigm shift in America, as evidenced by states like Arizona, Montana, Louisiana, Georgia, and Mississippi falling into the lean or toss-up category as Election Day looms. The philosophy and pracitices of the Republican Party have failed in epic proportions; we are fighting three wars, with more on the horizon should the Bush Doctorine continue. We have seen the size of our national debt double in eight years. That phrase gets tossed around a lot, so let me put that into perspective. The national debt is the cumulative amount of money owed since the beginning of America.   In eight years, we have doubled a number that was 224 years in the making. Think about that, and think about who’s philosophy led us there. Think about who’s running for office in your home district, and what their economic beliefs are. Think about your Senate candidate, and the direction you want this country to move. Most of all…think.
