In this area, and in ways that have illustrated the gulf between the United States and much of Europe, the Bush team has been relentless in attacking Kerry. It's not a gulf, it's an ocean...literally & figuratively!

Most Europeans, including the Brits, have no understanding of American politics. Their press has brainwashed most of them, portraying Bush as a dumb, right-wing extremist. They can't believe that Bush will win. I wonder what their reaction will be when Bush wins in a landslide.

A lib friend at work watched both convensions. He is was a major Kerry supporter. He hates Bush but Kerry is starting to scare him. He said he would either not vote for president or write me in. The latter would be pretty cool.

While the nations of europe have quietly retired from history - at least the history of great national combats - and placed their faith in international institutions and laws, the United States has entered upon another epic struggle that it sees as defining for the future of mankind. "A struggle of historic proportions," Bush called it, waged by "the greatest force for good on this earth."

I wonder what their reaction will be when Bush wins in a landslide?They will condemn, mock, and ridicule the people who elected him as a bunch of dumb, ignorant, unsophisticated savages. Much as they view us now, sadly.

Americans want hard work from Kerry and fewer reminders of his wealth. He lives like a spoiled little gigilo. He could sell all of his multimillion dollar homes and build homes for millions of poor families in USA IF he REALLY cared about the poor. He could bring all of the Heinz factories (50 +) back to USA and provide thousands of jobs for the unemployed. Since he promises to outlaw outsourcing jobs to other countries - he would do that, right? HA!

They said the exact same stuff about Reagans re-election. They sat in stunned disbelieve at his landslide.
They were equally dumbstruck at X41's election as a continuation of Reagans policies.
Yet europeans will cite Bush's reelection as evidence of the ignorance of Americans rather that the continued re-proving of european lack of knowledge of world affairs. Europeans get it wrong and Americans continue to get it right.
To: kattracks
From the conclusion of the piece:
"This week has made the roots of that disbelief clear: A big part of the United States is pumped up for a mission to demonstrate in the Middle East what Bush called "the transformative power of liberty."
Transformative upheaval is not the European thing these days: Been there, done that. So the Continent is worried."
None of the "transformative upheaval" that Europe ever went through was in the direction of liberty, but rather a movement towards tyranny (still is, in fact.) Europe is a moral midget. And Cohen is a moral relativist. Neither is adequate to the times we live in.

He never wanted for anything. In the late 50's he was going to Saint Paul's, and exclusive prep school in New Hampshire. At the time his Father had a 57 foot sailboat. Kerry didn't consider himself rich because other kids parents had bigger yachts.
He grew up living all over Europe, going to exclusive prep schools, traveling, summering in France at the family estate, summering on the family island..skiing in the winter. Mind you this is all in the 50's and 60's. No wonder he's bitter.

Sounds like a lot of Europeans are delusional. That would explain a few things.
