I disagree, the people I know, middle of the roaders, aren't buying it. We political junkies see the worst of the worst. The polls indicate people aren't buying it either, or they would be 90% for Kerry. Right now, he's barely keeping afloat.
Cool. Optimism is good. I was surprised how my inlaws were. My dad in law is shaky on the war,but my mom in law, more of a dem actually, was sick of the press with the abu garaib. No one gives a crap about that. It's like the old skynyrd line "does your conscience bother you? tell the truth!" Know what I mean?
Yeah, mom in law thought they were overboard. We were on a fathers day brunch cruise in the hudson valley on a paddleboat, and sensing an opportunity, I let em have a quick sermon on the war on terror. My wife, who spares her words (unlike me) said after that it was a good summary of the situation I gave them. I made a good strong pitch for our side. My ma, who has never voted for a GOPer, might vote for GWB cuz she don't like or trust Kerry.
That's something that isn't factored in yet. Most people don't yet know Kerry. When he gets going on the nat'l stage, with people watching, and he does his I was for it then against it, it wasn't my suv, what about france and the rest of it, he's gonna get splayed. It's hard to believe, in times like these, how ignorant people can be just a few months out. But maybe they figure they have time, and maybe they are right. Maybe it's me who's ignorant for riding each wave. I could go to sleep, wake up in Novemeber and I still know who I'm voting for. But you want to do something. you want to fight the libs and the press and beat back their lies. OK....I'll stop ranting now. Sorry :-)
