I came across this quote today.
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.It explains why I spent hours on GOTV calls in 2006 and why I volunteer so much this year. I was dismayed by the results of the 2004 election. We can't let that happen again.
-- Edmund Burke
-- Irish orator, philosopher, & politician (1729 - 1797)
Unlike most elections, 2004 wasn't an election of left vs. right. It may sound like hyperbole but I think it was an election of good vs. evil. It was an election that determined whether the United States would become more like China and the former USSR or whether we would continue to be the champion of freedom and human rights around the world. We chose poorly. I think most people realize that now. I think Obama represents our best chance of cleaning up that mess and restoring our image around the globe.
I do believe this election is about left vs. right but the left needs to win to bring the right back to their senses.
