Whatever.

Which one of them has the guts to yell out, "The boy king has no clothing"?

This is a critical time in US history. Not just rhetorically. Really and truly.

Hell, before the boy king came along I could have been called a fiscal pragmatist. But when you are up a radical usurper who has been destroying America day after day and issue by issue, it radicalizes you. This is only NATURAL for a human being with ANY CONVICTIONS WHATSOEVER.

Bush has been given a free ride long enough. He's not a good guy trying to do good things. He's a fucking menace and a cancerous growth on American history. It's WORTH ANY PUTATIVE RISK TO GET THE TRUTH ABOUT THIS OUT IN THE OPEN, especially since it's even MORE risky NOT TO.

I was hoping Kerry would redefine himself as Bush's most eloquent and heavy hitting critic. But he just doesn't seem to have it in him. His campaign is still thinking in terms of triangulation, safety, moderation and strategic product placement. Or maybe he simply can't bring himself to wholeheartedly bash something he simply let fester silently by playing it safe for so long.

Newsflash: We're not in the 1970's or 1980's or even 1990's anymore. "Compassionate conservative" now means one thing only: "Lying, two-faced PR-sensitive betrayer." It's as if Kerry doesn't even realize that everybody who is politically awake who isn't a neocon ideologue has had it up to their eyes with the media's and the Democratic Party's silence in the face of the systematic rape and murder of our formerly great nation.

We need the truth. We need to hear what Wellstone or Byrd or even Jeffers would tell us if they had the national stage. We are crying, begging, pleading, pounding, raging for the GOD DAMN TRUTH!

When will one of the DLC's pet candidates break down and just tell us the truth? About Bush, about Iraq, about deficits, about the voting machines, and about the Patriot Act?

Are they really going to destroy their own candidacies one by one just to try to weaken the one guy with a real chance who is telling it like it is?
