The financial crisis and the war in Iraq are two of the most expensive absolute and utter failures of the Republican party and the forces behind it. The so-called War in Iraq is actually a war of attrition against an insurgency, and given the costs of operations, it's unlikely that we can afford to stay there indefinitely. The risk is becoming the next Russia. A failed superpower. Our sheer financial and military strength ensured that we were taken seriously as a superpower. Now our financial house is in ruin (not what you want or expect from 8 years of supposedly-Republican rule), our diplomatic strength is losing ground.
This is not good.
Economic understanding and leadership is what's required now. This is a matter of national security. John McCain simply does not have a clue about economics, he said as much just a year ago. 1 year experience is not enough to be running the country.
Personally, I think Ron Paul ought to launch a write-in campaign. I think it would be brilliant and disruptive as hell. And he could pull it off with the network he's built.
