The only part that really pisses me off is that the Dems can't really seem to capitalize on Bush's double talk and fearmongering. Listen again to the State of the Union last night and focus on the part where he told you...again...to be afraid that al Qaeda is out to get YOU. YOU should not be comfortable.
I like Wes Clark, personally, and think he's the only Dem with a chance to fight Bush in this election. Kerry's gonna get clobbered. When it comes to nat'l security and foreign relations (which the Bush White House likes to THINK it has locked up), who would you like to have in the White House?:
1) Silver spoon, oil-slicked, rich boy that flew in the Texas National Guard (maybe he's a good pilot - I don't know)
2) Vietnam vet (although quite brave)
3) 4-star general with experience and respect overseas (he waffles a bit on domestic agenda, however, which I don't really like)
You're right. It's not a great field of Dems. However, Bush is quite the anti-patriot. Anyone who props up Ashcroft as a champion of American patriotism oughta have his head checked. This, the use of the TSA, detention without due process, USA PATRIOT Act support, the moon plan, irresponsible tax cuts, and this whacked-out immigration plan (I don't care WHAT Gray Davis did - apparently Davis is just as much of a crackhead) add up to a f*cked up next 25 years. Long after Bush is dead, we'll STILL be paying off these debts. Thanks, Georgie...
Guys, military might alone does not mean Bush is wonderful. When you alienate your friends and even manage to piss off a good chunk of the military (I know because I have spoken to a number of them), you are not a great "commander-in-chief."
If you want to vote Republican - I will never understand a pilot voting "R" when you're union employees...baffles me - go ahead. Just understand what your vote gets you - NEWS on Fox. More bombs, more deficits, more terrorist-provoking speeches. It won't make your life better. Whatever your problem, I guarantee that GWB has zero interest in solving it. Self-interest run amok...
Isn't anyone out there better than this fool???
