"America should take a chance..."

That's just sad......

 

They are saying: America's in a really bad position and going in the wrong direction, McCain will keep that direction, Obama won't.  A chance at success is better than absolute failure.

Republicans:

"Stay the course, it's going to be tough"

Democrats:

"Try one idea and if it doesn't work, we'll try another. ... If it fails, admit it frankly and try another, but above all, try something"

Sound's like it's really easy to be a democrat.

 

 

Now, I'm not going to agree to the above description of what a republican does and a democrat, but in this example the democrat is pragmatic. Pragmatism can be alot easier than idealism (though it's not a sure thing), and it gets more accomplished to boot. I would always always always pick a pragmatist to be in a position of authority than an idealist. Why people think that idealists should have power instead of pragmatists is beyond my comprehension.
