Running On FEAR

Sen. McCain has been jumping on Sen. Obama because the latter does not seem to appreciate how much McCain's vote for the 'Surge' changed the situation in Iraq. This coming on top of McCain's chief strategist, Charlie Black saying that another terrorist attack on U.S. soil " would be a big advantage to him" i.e. Sen. McCain.

Sen. McCain is sticking to the 'FHUD' script Karl Rove developed for George Bush and running on FEAR, spreading 'us versus them' mentality based on religion, i.e. promoting Hatred, and creating Uncertainty and Doubt. He might win the election... in which case I will have to keep experiencing "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner," a wonderful story by Alan Sillitoe.
