It's supposed to happen today, in front of Nancy Reagan, McCain's biggest supporter, at the "Reagan Love-In" in California.
'STAR WARS' is real and necessary, John. Trust me.*Questions that won't be asked:
- Will you pardon Bush-Cheney, if elected? Will your CIA tape interrogations?
- Do you believe our dominance strategy in space is stabilizing or destabilizing?
- Do you believe that the U.S. stockpiles of biological weapons are safely kept or at risk? What can you promise the American public on that topic, tonight?
- How will you work to prepare the American people for a catastrophic event on US soil, either man made or otherwise? What will be your message, from day one, to Americans? Is it just to watch the yellow-orange-red attack-o-meter?
- Do you believe in a continuation oft he Bush posture on global warming, that no nations should "get a free ride", so that, Kyoto, for instance, had to be jettisoned?
*"Reagan wholeheartedly embraced the Star Wars concept for ideological reasons; he persuaded the people of its necessity by tapping into America's "civil religion" rooted in 19th-century Protestant beliefs in American exceptionalism and a desire to make the U.S. an invulnerable sanctuary." -Francis Fitzgerald
