Are the Repubs planning to assassinate John Kerry? |

I, for one, am exceedingly tired of the right-wing's repeated attacks of Edwards not being qualified for the VP job. They say he's not experienced enough to be a heartbeat away from the top job. This may actually be taken seriously if the Republicans had a strong and experienced ticket themselves, but they don't. As their PRESIDENT, they have a man who never traveled outside the United States before becoming the world's most powerful man. They have a man whose foreign policy experience is so scant that he feels no obligation to maintain close ties with allies that will undoubtedly aid America in the near future. So what are the Republicans saying? Are they saying that it's better to have an inexperienced president with an experienced vice president, which is a good synopsis of Bush-Cheney? Isn't it better to have an experienced president and a vice president with less experience? That does not even ring thoroughly true, relative to the Republican ticket, because John Edwards has 6 years of experience in the Senate foreign relations committee. That gives him 6 more years of experience than what the Republican president had back in 2000. In total, Bush has 3-4 years of foreign policy experience, with major blunder on his record (failure to capture Osama, unresolved situation in Afghanistan, and Iraq). John Edwards, on the other hand, has 6 years of foreign policy experience and a clean slate.
From all this talk about "heartbeat" and morbid foreshadowing of death, it has led me to a paranoid conclusion that should John Kerry win, the Republicans are secretly planning to take him out of the game.

Why the hell don't the Dems just state the obvious: The thought of Dr. Strangelove Cheney becoming President is friggin' spooky! Repeat ad nauseum. Duh.
