Believe me, I wish with all my heart and soul, I could believe what you say! But, other great and powerful countries and civilizations have destroyed themselves from within, so why is the USA immune? I mean John Kerry should be treated as the fool he is by an overwhelming majority of American voters. The fact that he has as much support as he does does not bode well for the continued future existance of our country!
Then believe it. Kerry has zip for support. His only position is "hey.......I'm not Bush!". That does NOT motivate the middle or anyone else but the hardest of hard core libs. He's going to get his butt handed to him in November. The Democratic Party leadership know this; they realize what an empty suit they got stuck with and they're nigh unto panicking (can you say "buyers' remorse"???). You can take that to the bank.
I have seen it stated on this forum that, "half of the people have an I.Q. below 100. I don't know if this is exactly correct mathematically but the general idea is obviously correct. The great shame of this nation is that all these people are allowed to vote. The stupid usually perceive great wisdom in stupid ideas advanced by stupid or diabolical politicians and see any program based on realistic thinking as being stupid.
