The Dream And The Reality
The Dream:
“If our jobs teach us anything it’s that we don’t know what the next President’s gonna face. If we choose someone with vision, someone with guts, someone with gravitas who’s connected to other people’s lives and cares about making them better, if we choose someone to inspire us, then we’ll be able to face what comes our way and achieve things we can’t imagine yet.” –Toby, “20 Hours in America.” Written by Aaron Sorkin, The West Wing.
The Reality:
“It’s a common complaint (on both right and left) that liberals no longer have any real grand motivating vision, and I think there’s a lot of truth to it. But despite lots of highminded talk, neither do conservatives. Their only real vision appears to be to fight liberalism. Again, go to your local bookstore to see what I mean.”
