Not very.
and whether it will translate to damage at the polls in November.
It won't.
GWB will win in a landslide and crush the Dean-supporting FRinge FReaks.
Does the short sighted, short attention span, short memory, instant gratification, one issue wonder crowd get on your nerves also?
I can't figure out whether they are wearing blinders to realty or simply scared of success.
Short Sighted: A vote not cast for Bush is a vote cast for a liberal.
Short Attention Span: Bills have to pass Congress before they can be signed into law - these things don't just magically appear on the President's desk.
Short Memory: 8 Years of Clinton.
Instant Gratification: The left has loaded the Courts and Agencies with people who think they get to re-write the Constitution. It takes time to fix that. Just because it isn't easy doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.
One Issue Wonder: If I don't get my (exact) way on issue X I'm not voting for him (likely for reasons listed above). That always signifies a genius plan in action.
I hope you are right.
But I'll tell you, my parents
are both working class
Republicans, and
so are their friends. These people
are television
and newspaper types.
My parents and all their friends
completely swallowed
the media's line
about Bush -- he's dumb, hated,
ruining the world...
No matter how I
explain to these people that
TV and papers
show a tiny part
of the political world,
their generation
grew up believing
mainstream news was all there is
and by keeping up
with the mainstream news,
they were informed and involved
and ready to vote...
I'm sure the future
belongs to netizens. But
I'm afraid enough
of the TV crowd
is still around to fracture
Republicans bad...
