OUR VIEW: Hustler editorial board endorses Obama, McCain
Submitted by Hustler Editorial Board on 01-31-08, 9:55 pm More from this Writer Submit to Digg or Facebook
In the immediate weeks and months following Sept. 11, 2001, the nation’s united front transcended race, economic class, geographical region and party line; a national tragedy and attack should not be the only impetus for that unity.
Facing the considerable structural failures on the issues of healthcare, immigration and the economy, the public has expressed its distaste and disapproval time and time again for our president, Congress and the wide disparity between them. To combat these issues we need more than solutions from our presidential candidates — we need leaders who can unite us behind them.
Keeping this mindset of bipartisanship and the kind of practical compromise that does not sacrifice ideology, the Hustler editorial board strongly recommends the Democratic and Republican parties nominate Senators Barack Obama and John McCain, respectively, as their candidates.
Obama’s inspirational, faith-based message and rhetorical magnetism resonate with Americans in a unique way that may solve some of these partisan divides. Though not as experienced as some candidates, he has proven himself worthy with his firm refusal to cater to certain special interests at the expense of the nation — like his vow to pay teachers on the basis of merits — and his potential to galvanize the fractured aggregate of the Democratic Party.
Similarly, McCain’s belief in honor and duty to the country carries a similar sense of a unified message. His pragmatic approach and steadfast refusal to succumb to party ideology on a select set of issues demonstrate an ability to break free from the cast-iron party politics of the past decade. Behind this practical, assured mindset lies a profound amount of political experience and faculty, manifested as well in McCain’s major bipartisan efforts and accomplishments in a variety of policy fields. McCain’s political career has been built on concrete results — a McCain presidency promises to deliver again.
