On Being Wrong
I hate being wrong. Even when I know I’m wrong I still hate to admit it. I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m not the only one who feels this way.
So imagine what it must be like for someone to publicly apologize for voting for President Bush. It takes balls to do that but that’s exactly what Doug McIntyre did.
Here’s a choice quote:
So, Im saying today, I was wrong to have voted for George W. Bush. In historic terms, I believe George W. Bush is the worst two-term President in the history of the country. Worse than Grant. I also believe a case can be made that hes the worst President, period.
He doesn’t let Democrats get away unscathed either:
None of this, by the way, should be interpreted as an endorsement of the opposition party. The Democrats are equally bankrupt.
Doug goes on to offer this gem of insight:
I believe, as I have said countless times, the two party system is on the brink of a second collapse. Its currently running on spin, anger, revenge, and pots and pots and pots of money.
This is something that’s been going through my head often ever since I saw an interview with Lou Dobbs where he said that the only difference between the Republicans and the Democrats was “a skosh.”
I wonder if we’re ever going to look back at our two party system and say, “We were wrong.”
