I heard McCain say earlier in a stump speech that Barack Obama never uses the word victory. We all know that J Mac is talking about victory in Iraq, meaning winning the war and bringing honor to our troops and leaders. Well, I still don't quite understand what he means when he talks about victory in Iraq. We cannot be victorious there. What do we have to win? There is no prize in Iraq. We won't receive an award. The only things we have been receiving so far are a damaged financial infrastructure and thousands of unnecessary lives lost.
But if McCain wants to talk about victory, then let's talk about it. How about Barack's historic win, in so many ways, on November 4th over the Senator from Arizona. Obama defeats the failed policies of the Bush administration. The middle class wins as a Democrat regains control of the Executive Branch. The United States of America is victorious in taking back its country from the right-wing authoritarians. Now, John McCain is by no means one of those authoritarians, but he does like to pal around with them.
Twenty-six short days from Election Day before this country changes course, changes its ambitions, changes its leadership, or not.
