  • Kunstler – No Confidence?

    Kunstler with the theory that the 2008 election cycle has started so early because we’re so lacking in confidence that our current leadership can do anything about the horrible situation we’re in. I think he’s absolutely right. He’s also spot-on when he opines that the current crop of candidates on both side may “exhaust, bankrupt, and even disgrace their campaigns as they desperately pirouette around these painful truths, and that none of them will survive the process with their political legitimacy intact.”

    I believe that in that lies the reason Al Gore is being coy about entering the fray. He’ll let the others screw themselves and each others, as political candidates almost always do, then jump in at a more economical time. He’s no dummy, and probably the only person who can lead us out of this morass with some union and economy intact.
