"Why should I?"

An understated theme, or more to the point an under-addressed theme, during this campaign season has been on the subject of the accountability of our government... you know: "Of the people, by the people"... all that stuff.

Our government and our country have been crippled by the Bush administration's unwillingness to address questions posed by Congress, the press and, ultimately, by its own citizenry. Plainly, our press and our people have become accustomed to being bulldozed by a brutish mentality aimed at running our country as a business in which we are no longer considered stakeholders. This clip of McCain hits on the terrible truth of the continuity we will be supporting with the election of a McCain administration.
