The list of what this election cost, long term, the American people is very long...but perhaps the most important thing lost is the truth!
We can speak about respect to the Constitution, but this is a sub-set of Truth.
We can speak about the issues of LIFE with Abortion and Euthanasia and Embryonic Stem Cell, but it too is a sub-set to truth!
We can speak and write about the role of government in our lives, the 95% of Americans who will not see a Tax Cut...or the Troops leaving Iraq in a hurry, the eventual firmer tone the next President will have with Iran, etc...but it is still about the truth!
You will see the POST LINKED BELOW and the miss-use, abuse by the journalistic community with respect to the truth!
BUT...we can not stop focusing upon this very matter...for we have allowed through manipulation the evaporation of truth.
You can expect the relection of the next President to include a tried and true effort to deflect again his associations and past...the trite expression of "haven't we been over this before...", "this is old news...", "This has already been vetted"...etc...
the Associations of the next President were not vetted, dealt with by the media with any serious journalism...
We have example after example of backpeddling by the media...Newsweek, TIME, Brokaw, etc...telling us 'perhaps we do not know this man well enough"...
Yet, we will not be satisfied to say, we told you so...for our country, the Constitution, or way of government rests in the balance...
We get no joy from being proved right, we find no solace in the possibility of being on the right side of this historic argument...
too much rests in being wrong!
Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Plegger, et al. tell us enough...we only pray that the next 4 years are un-eventful
