College Republicans: John McCain - A Sad Hero for a Nation in Decline

File this one under "I don't think that word means what you think it means."

The College Republicans have put out a video to promote John McCain as a youth candidate.

What a downer. Watching that, I get the feeling that America is a nation in decline, my generation can't accomplish anything (too few heroes), and the best I can hope for is to "sacrifice" by voting for John McCain. But the video doesn't even leave me with the impression that he can do anything. He may be channeling Winston Churchill in that sound bite, but I get the overwhelming impression, thanks largely to the music, that even though John McCain may not ever give up, he probably won't win either and the best we can hope for is a draw.

I also found the imagery of 9/11 a little offensive. I understand that it wasn't quite being used to fear monger as Republicans have done in the past - it was meant more to invoke the events which inspired a generation to action - but still that's really lacking in good taste.

If this is the best support the College Republicans can offer McCain, we're in great shape.
