I'm not giving up the fight yet. It's just not my nature. You can if you like, it's your choice. The fact that Kerry didn't get a "veep selection bounce" and that despite the onslaught from Moore and company, President Bush's poll numbers are rising (rather than falling) gives me hope.
Saw giving up in my post? I said there's work to be done. I think most in here are far too dismissive of the subtext of all that's going on with this "gala". I know, there are many in here who know and have spoken of the evil Left and its recent attempts at power-grabbing. But let's not get too optimistic at what appears to be a major faux-pas on Kerry's part. The liberal-minded in our country may very-well view their diatribes as intoning their values (hating of Bush, for instance, is interpretted as loving America). Given Michael Moore, the press's work with Abu Gharib (sp), the incessant blaring of the "dismal news out of Iraq by the major media outlets, the generation of ill-educated that are now of voting age--given all that, wouldn't you say there is work to do?
And it will be work. Re-acquiring the institutions the Left has grabbed up over the past 50 years will take time. My concern is that there may not be an America left by the time those on the Right realize the nature of the work. That's all.
