What Have We Learned From the Presidential Debates (that we didn’t already know)
In watching the third and final Presidential debate last night, I wondered what the American public was learning that we didn’t already know.
Anyone who cares about these things already knows that George W. Bush is not as slick as John Kerry and certainly not as practiced. We already know how President Bush will act in certain situations because we have seen him in both peace and war – in triumph and tragedy. We know little about John Kerry, other than that he passed 5 bills in twenty years as a Senator and has voted on both sides of most issues. And that he has “a plan� for everything.
The division in America, which was referenced again last night, is usually categorized as, “an even split between Democrats and Republicans.� I don’t think it is. I believe it is a cultural split – a cultural war over the most important social and moral issues.
It was impossible for our first President, President George Washington, to predict the future challenges of the newly formed republic of the United States. It is equally impossible to predict what America will face in the coming post 9-11-01 years.
Having a plan is good, but being a person of substance with a plan is much better.
It is generally agreed that George Washington was the right choice for our first President. I’m confident we will make the right choice this time as well.
“I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an Honest Man.�
