Excellently stated.
Whoops, change 1968 to 1972 in the next to last paragraph.
John Kerry makes Mondale look like a formidable foe
Imagine if W could pull of a '72 or '84 type landslide... With this slate of Senate races we'd sweep the South (+5) take down Daschle, Patty F'n Murray (my state) and maybe Boxer and only lose Illinois. We'd start '05 with a 57-43 lead in the Senate (minus a couple for the McCain/Chafee wing) and a 20 seat lead in the House... Ah a guy can dream, right?
Bravo!
Personally, I was suprised that Kerry made it past the primaries. There was never anything about this guy.
MGY
I've always thought this way. I remember when Dean was winning, and Dick Morris came out on Hannity and said only Kerry or Lieberman could win the election.
And I was incredulous. How could they possibly think he could win? He has such baggage from the Viet Nam War, is arrogant and unlikeable, and is a northeastern antimilitary ultraliberal.
And when they elected him I thought they were crazy. And as the weeks passed, I began to think, maybe the press CAN elect a big lie, by simply refusing to print the truth and focusing their hatred on Bush.
I am so glad to see the veneer coming off, like Rush said it would. He said Old Media will never rule us again. Thank God he seems to be proved right.
That said, we must not rest or let our guard slip - it's not over until it's over.
OUTSTANDING!!!
Thank you for the post
"And when they elected him I thought they were crazy. And as the weeks passed, I began to think, maybe the press CAN elect a big lie, by simply refusing to print the truth and focusing their hatred on Bush."
I know exactly how you feel. I admit to having a few WTF moments when I thought kerry's numbers weren't plumetting fast enough, and thinking the hate President Bush crowd was bigger than I thought, and this thing would snowball out of control. Here's to being glad that no bounce for the DNC and significant bounce for America's only choice for POTUS will previal!
If the PT boats are still running maybe Kerry can get a job on one. You know, waterski behind it or kite flying or maybe even conduct rescue training sessions.
You mean 1972, partner. McGovern lost that year.
Great article and thanks for posting!
I'm going to make copies and hand them out =)
A keeper...BTTT
My hat, sir. :)
We can expect Kerry to become more and more shrill as he continues to shrink. No!No!Aiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Still, we MUST VOTE NOVEMBER 2. Even if Bush is up 20 points in the last Zogby poll, the vote fraud machine will be fully tuned, lubed, and running on all 8 cylinders. Enjoy the ride, as I am, for the next two months, but for goodness sake, VOTE.
IMO there were no really good candidates in the dim primary. Kerry won by default, because the others were just awful.
What was interesting was how Kerry was absolutely grovelling ("What can I do to win your vote?") just before Dean melted down. If he gets to that point in this campaign, it is going to be painfully embarassing for the Crats.
Superb.
