I just got an email from the McCain campaign. It describes the magical world of 2013 after a McCain presidency. Here are some of its fantastical features:
By January 2013, at the end of my first term as president, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom. The Iraq War has been won and Iraq is a functioning democracy.
The United States has experienced several years of robust economic growth
Public education in the United States is much improved
The United States is well on the way to independence from foreign sources of oil
Voluntary national service has grown in popularity in part because of the educational benefits used as incentives, as well as frequent appeals from the bully pulpit of the White House, but mostly because the young Americans understand that true happiness is much greater than the pursuit of pleasure, and can only be found by serving causes greater than self-interest.
Wow, if we elect John McCain, young people will abandon selfishness! Sign me up.
