153. I know people who voted for Bush and SAID TO ME...
"Kerry did not, actually, offer a credible and coherent alternative."

Maybe not the exact words, but the exact meaning. They said things like "It's not that I was pro-Bush, it's that Kerry didn;t offer anything better."

Hey, THEIR words, not MINE.

A lot of people don't like that. Tough CRAP, it's the truth. It may not offer a complete picture of what happened in the election, but there WAS a segment of the population who voted for Bush because they felt they didn't "know" Kerry.

And yeah, that opens up a whole other can of worms, because Bush lies and hides behind his fake "Christianity," but that's not the point. There's little difference between someone who "knows" you and someone who "thinks they know you." People believe what they wanted to believe, and SOME voters...however reluctantly they did this..."believed" in Bush.

We have FOUR FUCKING YEARS to "define" a candidate. FOUR YEARS to "offer a credible and coherent alternative." FOUR YEARS to STOP pointing the finger and GET TO WORK.

Unless we want President Frist, President Giuliani, President McCain, or President Gingrich, that is. I know I don't.

:grr:
