Conservative "leaders" and the republican establishment have proven themselves unworthy of the American people. This morning George Will readily allowed himself to be used by George Stephanopolous to say that this is not an important election, there is no difference between Bush and Kerry on Iraq, and this is not an election in which any of America's "fundamental freedoms" are at stake.
This followed the entire panel saying that the republicans can't paint Kerry as a liberal because he is campaigning to the middle. Will also bashed Bush for the prescription drug plan, etc.
The whole purpose of the left, which Will gladly pitched in on, is to portray Kerry and Bush as two plain vanilla moderates, so the American people won't be afraid to elect the far more liberal Kerry.
So George Will accepts Kerry's campaign rhetoric, and concludes we will be as safe in the hands of Ted Kennedy, Sandy Berger, and Kerry - as the team of Colin Powell, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfowitz, and Bush? I guess little differences like no Iraq invasion, a veto for France and Germany, and total lack of support for the military were overlooked.
I saw in Will the same disgusting arrogance that abandoned George Bush Sr. and ushered in 8 incompetent corrupt years of Clinton, maybe to be followed soon by the worse leftism of the other Clinton.
Did Will notice that we may suffer a devastating terror attack? How's that for a threat to "fundamental freedom?" If George Will or anyone else thinks there will be no difference between Kerry and Bush they are demented. The two disagree on virtually the whole list of issues - America's role in the world, school choice, taxes, abortion, guns, judges - but I am going to be subjected to a left wing presidency because of pointy headed idiots like George Will. Absolutely disgusting.
Oh, and Mr. Will, we are in the middle of a war. Kerry is not even remotely suited to war time decision making.
This country truly disgraced itself when it unelected the first Bush and put in Clinton. Perhaps we are to suffer 8 more years of corruption and decline so that George Will and others can maintain their self satisfied smugness.
As all politics is local, let me throw in that here in New Jersey a continued Republican Justice Department is the only hope we have that a democrat corruption cancer will be addressed. But according to George Will, I can entrust my "fundamental freedoms" just as securely in the hands of Terry MaCauliffe.
As this country sinks, it is as much by the inaction and sheer stupidity of the right, as much as the rabid agenda of the left. George Bush has been a great and decent president, we are in the middle of war and God help us if our next secretary of state is a Madeleine Albright clone.
Sadly, there is now little difference between a dunce like George Will and George Stephanopolous. Maybe there is, Stephanopolous at least still the thought the republicans would paint Kerry as a liberal.
Maybe he's right, but there's no difference between George Will and Al Hunt these days.
Bush will not put people like Sandy Berger in (at least Sandy has disqualified himself now). Or worse, Greg Craig as Secretary of State? That would be an absolute nightmare.
Will should know these things.
I appreciate what he has done in the past, but Will is a dinosaur.
This is why I am very careful who I claim to be a conservative. Will just doesn't get it on a number of issues. I've seen him uncork some pretty God awful comments. While I like what he says sometimes, he's no conservative. People like him, Hatch, Dole, McCain are a dime a dozen. They shift with the wind, and I doubt they could tell you more than one or two things the support of which would make one a conservative.
Who is the author of this story?
Well, all I know is that if conservatives do not find the guts to counter the constant deceptions, lies, and misstatements of the opposition, and the guts to counter this stuff aggressively, we'll just continue to lose ground. And for George Will, a supposed conservative, to be in a discussion with weasels like Stephanopolous, and to not hammer on the Sandy Berger situation, means he is just another part of the problem.
Right on!
George Will has become an uppity elitist who can't see the forrest from the tip of his pointy french looking nose. Damn him and the so-called conservative horse he rode in on.
Isn't this what Carroll Qyuigly (Bubbas mentor at Georgetown) has said. The elites want these two factions to be as close as possible so that there are no upsetting factors from one election to another. (since these two factions now are totally dominated by the elites who have NO desire for thsi country to have a TRUE conservative agenda they have succeeded) And the 2 Hunderd million legitimize this by their wacky votes to continue the charade.
The only reason I'm voting for Bush is that he will be more likely kill fundamentalist ragheads by the boatload and the possibiility of Supreme Court nominations.
Don't get mad, get even!
Here's Will's email address:

Let him know how you feel!!!
The two reasons you cite are by themselves enormous.

Thank you. Done. But I'm sure it will be lost in all the liberal love letters he is getting today.
There's not strong difference between their rhetoric on Iraq, but one of them is lying and has to placate the left after the election.
We may be rapping too much on Bush. He can only nominate SC justices. It is the stink'in pubbies that won't back him 100%. The dems will back their party 100%. GW should have gotten tough on his people early on. He didn't. He failed. He more than failed because he let Bubba off, allowed Teddy K to prominence, etc. So what should those Senators on the fence do? They had NADA to fear.
I think George Will is getting very senile.
