South Knox Bubba’s Mom takes the long view —
I was talking to my Mom the other day. She’s an FDR New Deal Yellow Dog Democrat. I don’t think she’s ever voted for a Republican, except maybe Jimmy Duncan.
I was shocked when she said she would probably vote for Bush. Her reasoning is that she wants him to be responsible for “cleaning up the mess.”
I told her it would be better to fire him and get somebody capable of cleaning up the mess he made. Mrs. Bubba says my Mom is thinking ahead to 2008. Four more years of Bush will put Republicans in the dog house for a long, long time. My Mom is smart like that, and her generation knows about sacrifice for the long term and the greater good.
The trouble with that thinking is that the mess will lasts for decades!
We sure haven’t managed to forget about Vietnam. How long will it be before the bitterness over Iraq dissipates?
Four more years and will be in the middle of WWIII. I wonder if it’s already begun.
