The Pendragon's Hall

The Bull Moose is excessively optimistic. While it is true that certain corruptions are now obvious among the ruling Republican Party, and although the Pendragon is a big fan of give-and-take in a two-party system, the fact remains: while the Bull Moose continues to bury his antlers in the sand and hope that a Democratic takeover in November would lead to the success of a viable, left-of-center regime in Washington, we know what a Democrat-controlled government looks like. If it were simply that a Congress run by Democrats would experiment with a liberal ideal for America, the Pendragon would not be so nervous. But I can predict what will happen: following a Democratic victory, impeachment hearings will follow with partisan rancour reaching all-time highs. In the meantime, our troops in the field, unsure whether they are doing the right thing or not will be plunged into deep depression. And terrorists worldwide will be heartened to strike at an America that has gone back on its course, just like we did at the end of the Gulf War. This is what the turnover in November will bring.
