about talking about the "past all the time"

Obama and Biden need to explain to McCain/Palin that which they do not understand. In order to know how to set a corrective or positive future course you need to know exactly where you are and exactly how you got there. I can understand why the Republican ticket would like to just pretend the last eight years did not happen and that they could just start with a clean slate. But the world does not work that way. Actions have consequences. The mistakes made by the Bush administration assisted in no small part by McCain and certain segments of the Republican party must be examined and understood. In understanding these mistakes and misjudgements Obama and Biden can develop a plan to fix the current mess in domestic and foreign policy and carry this country into the future with hope and pride.

Palin consistently states that it is not necessary to understand the cause of global warming in order to work to fix it. This is false. If fossil fuel use by humans is not causing the problem then why have any caps on carbon emissions? If low taxes for the wealthiest among us and deregulation in every form were the panacea of economic policy that Ms. Palin and McCain believe it to be we would be in an economic boon rather than in the worst decline since the great depression.

Never have two Politicians been more wrong about so much as McCain/Palin.
