when gore conceded four years ago, i was a little annoyed. i thought he should have continued to fight, even after the supreme turned him down. personally i didn't care for him, to wishy washy, and i didn't much care for bush either, but i never dreamed bush would be such a lousy president.
kerry is another story. he had three states he could contest, and he had $15,000,00.00 left in the till to fight with. i thought he had more determination, that he really believed he could make a difference for the country. forget all the flip-flop crap, and the BS about his medals, he was suppossed to be a man who could lead. he isn't. he quit before the race was over.
he would have been trouble as a "leader." he would have been a different kind of trouble then bush is and will be, but he doesn't have the cajones to fight to the end.
i still believe bush is everything bad i ever said about him, but he won, and that's the first test. can you go the distance. he did.
throwing daschle out doesn't mean squat. he was not worth a damn. he was another toady, giving bush more head of steam then he should have.
the democratic party will probably never regain any importance and it is their own fault. they don't fight for what they believe in any more, if they ever did. nadar was correct, we have a one party government.
when JFK was in charge, he surrounded himself with people that disagreed with him so he could get a better perspective. bush surrounds himself with yes men, because he has no perspective and is too disinterested in learning anything. he is like many of the bush poster on the board, "my mind is made up, don't confuse me with facts." he and you all are narrow minded, inflexible, and stubborn, and given enough time will destry the "great experiment."
the country has been split into the haves and have nots, and the have nots think they will be part of the haves if they follow. they won't, the haves don't want you playing in their league.
i have heard that bush is learning to play the violin.
he wants to be prepared to fiddle when the country burns.
i am 72, and my family usually lives into their mid 90's, so i'll be around to listen to the music.
