It is inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty, and common decency. There is something about this year's two candidates for President that has left everyone unsettled. The diehard Republicans have rallied around their guy George, but only after quelling some initial nervousness about his capacity to govern and only after the Christian right made a conscious decision to support now and make the candidate pay later. The diehard yellow dog Democrats are still trying to figure out who let their dog out.
Undecided voters remain undecided just days before the election.
Be that as it may, we the people have to pick one of these guys. What makes choosing between Gore and Bush so difficult for so many people is that neither man is the least bit inspiring. Not once have I felt any sort of emotional pull, any call to destiny. These guys have asked not what I can do for my country, rather they keep telling me over and over what my country is going to do for me. Well, maybe that's not enough.
