Being a college student I am required by law to frequently and regularly check my email and read my links while studying for tests or writing papers. The frequency and regularity of said actions is directly proportional to the urgency of the test or paper. That having been said, with my test in 30 minutes I was taking a break and reading through my blogroll and happened upon an article by Orson Scott Card (yes, THAT Orson Scott Card) entitled The Campaign of Hate and Fear. Quote to follow:
Watching the primary campaigns among this year’s pathetic crop of Democratic candidates, I can’t help but think that their campaigns would be vastly improved if they would only rise to the level of “death to the Republicans.”
Instead, their platforms range from Howard Dean’s “Bush is the devil” to everybody else’s “I’ll make you rich, and Bush is quite similar to the devil.”
Since Bush is quite plainly not the devil, one wonders why anyone in the Democratic Party thinks this ploy will play with the general public.
Go read… very salient points.
