The McCain ad that this article highlights starts off with a reference to the type of bravado that the fool that got us into this war used. As much as McCain might wish this was enough to distance himself from BushCo, repudiation of that thinking is going to require a fairly quick end to the war in Iraq. The article states that the Dem's will try to cast McCain as a "warmonger". That won't be needed: All that will be required is to point out that McCain is wrong about this present war. And as much as it is true that when someone uses the word "spirituality" I reach for my gun, this article attempts to cast Obama not as a "Lightworker" but instead light-in-the-loafers. Yes, the author is correct, it is a dangerous world: He and his ilk are making it more dangerous. And to all the dangers that rally us to our fearless leader he would add the fear of new thinking.
