The Newest Frontier

This election battle royale between Democratic Illinois Senator Barack Hussein Obama II and Republican Arizona Senator John Mccain represents America's Newest Frontier towards progressive change, but that change America can believe in, may become that mistrust it will perceive in. America loves a war hero, Mccain can easily follow in the footsteps of war hero presidents George Wahington, Andrew Jackson, William Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Ulysses Simpson, Theodore Roosevelt and Dwight David Eisenhower, thus conceding the White House to the Republicans for a third straight time, following the last war time president George Walker Bush Jr. and his predecessors George Herbert Bush, Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, Harry Truman, Franklin Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, William Mckinley, Abraham Lincoln and James Madison. But each from their own ideologic perch, will try and gain the edge in hype by trying hard to be like the only war hero and war time president in American history, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Kennedy, for both men, represents two separate and different things, ideas they need to make their campaigns win, yet past their own ideologic spin, he actually represented each symbiotically and equally, a heroic free market industrialism by commerce building incision favouring the rich for Mccain and a hopeful fair commonwealth redistributivism by welfare building taxation favouring the poor for Obama. Yet each man, with campaigns progressively stepping up their push and pull, will instead aim at America's military failures in the South East and North West regions of Asia, to weaken the other candidate, with Obama connecting Mccain to Vietnam and Mccain doing the same with Obama to Arabia, making this possibly the dirtiest presidential election in American political history.

This uncivil political war may just throw Americans off elections and politics altogther for the long term, with an eternal fight between red and blue, right and left or conservative and liberal that will not be issue oriented and can not solve the big problems with real solutions that are demanded for, of and by the people, such an election will split the people up to a point where the partisan becomes personal, that will then extrapolate challenge from the word change and polarize any message out of the ideal hope into hype.
