Using yesterday’s certitudes, too many Democrats and Republicans are still talking about who has been right all along about boilerplate issues. Neither side of such tedious arguments appears to be able to acknowledge the mistakes their own side made over the last quarter century. Mistakes that wasted opportunities and cost money and lives.
Consequently, today, too few voters seem to care about which candidates have learned something worthwhile from those mistakes.
Sorry folks, no matter how far you turn up the volume, merely restating outdated liberal or conservative hokum is not about solving problems. It's not about making a brighter future.
