I think if anything's spreading through communities its word of a friend or relative coming home dead, wounded, certainly with painful experiences.
This is a ripple of life that catches on fast. And it's matched against empty reasons for the war, needless suffering.
When you add the money in, reasons for war, and think of the oil aspect to it all, that suffering takes on a meaning of dying for oil. Life is more precious, and those directly affected by those coming home from the war know this.
So the above is happening while too many people are going about their lives wondering why their job is gone, or going. Nice way to have to think, huh?
Next thing you know--there you are, you're one of them. And you're sittin' on a counter stool in a bright morning diner, your face hovered over coffee, ham and eggs. You sit in a bit of self-wonder, still listening to what others around you are saying. It's a common theme: "Time for a change!" ... "I don't like what's going on!" ... "I ain't votin' fer him!"
Independents and Republicans both are seriously considering Kerry as a viable change possibility. A lot of folks think the White House needs a thinker where there hasn't been one: And they see Kerry, his distinguished war service and strong governmental record, as the one best able to carry the ball.
Bush has fumbled. And people are beginning to see right through him
Sure seems like Bush has been told by his handlers not to take any responsibility for anything his Administration has done. They tell him he should act as though he's sporting a perfect record. So Bush ineffectually parrots this. He only addresses scripted, very select audiences while taking the thinest line possible of questions. Bush is dim! (make those bumper stickers--lol!)
So Bush and Kerry are the talk of the diners in small cities and small towns where the lucky ones are coming back from the war.
By noontime, do you know what the guys and gals workin' behind the lunchcounter are saying? "I ain't votin' for him! Nope. Not this time around. He don't have my vote!"
Michelino, it's true. Eight months is too long to wait. Anyone know the Vegas odds for early resignation--lol? |
