Preemtive strike or attempt to inoculate? Carranze2: your post nails it. Kerry and the Democrats are trying to create enough "wiggle room" to last them throughout the campaign. They are against the Iraq war but on the other hand. . . They are against Bush who is a war monger but on the other hand. . . They are against the military and in favor of the United Nations but on the other hand. . . Kerry tossed his war ribbons and medals but on the other hand, the medals were not his but some that he borrowed from one of those bands of brothers. (Spare us Good Lord!) The truth of the matter is that Kerry and the Democrats are in a bind. In Boston, they finally had to come to some sort of searing atonement for the sins of Howard Dean. Their answer was to bring in a flotilla of Swift Boats, a few former comrades, a host of worn-out, retired, and otherwise discredited generals and admirals, and then let their man Kerry walk out and salute the crowd as the would-be-commander-in-chief who like some hokey tin soldier announced to the rapturous audience with a crisp military salute that he was ". . .reporting for Duty, Sir." This attempt to hood-wink the nation into believing that the Dems finally "got muscle" will not work. The public learned a long time ago to tell the differences between fake horses, stalking horses, and losing horses. It also learned from Harry Truman, a good Democrat, that you don't change horses in midstream. We are in midstream and Bush has four more years, much to the chagrin of Michael Moore and his band of brothers and sisters. The American public has also proved that it knows what to do when confronted by a fake leader who triess to fake his real character by hiding behind myth and mythology and other attempts to change the record and the subject. And what is that? To stay the course. To reject the losers by sticking with the winners. By a clear-headed and good hearted response to reality when entering the voting booth in November.
