Why This Election Matters
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
We all know that a lot is at stake in the upcoming presidential election, and we all have our key reasons why - the economy, foreign policy, health care, global climate change, to name a few. But I’d like to talk about one that is very important to me - hope for our future. Many of us in Tredyffrin have children, and we want them to grow up in a world that is peaceful, safe, and harmonious. As this hilarious spoof of Barak Obama’s YouTube video posted on Talking Point Memo illustrates (BTW - if TPM is not on your home page, it should be!), this is NOT John McCain’s vision for our future.
He and his reactionary ilk clearly see the future as a fight to the death between “us” and “them,” one which we must “win.” For the sake of the world, we must put this unrealistic and outmoded doctrine in the ashbin of history.

And we also need to remind America just what this man stands for - in spite of the whitewash applied by the RNC in the coming months.
For example, here is a heeeelarious joke of his (1998), ridiculing a teenage girl: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."
Yes, he told the entire country that she is ugly, and then joked about it. This is the RNC's temperate nominee. [I'm still looking for the video where he exploded on a Daily Show reporter - anyone have that?]
For the third time in a row, this election is the Democrats' to lose. Can they make it a trifecta?
