Dems have nothing to fear unless Voters have Feet of Clay |
|
It is vital that American voters not cave in fear the way they did four years ago, leaving Kerry and Edwards out to dry, due to alleged "fear" of terrorists or doubt that Kerry/Edwards would not be strong against foreign enemies.
Everyone here knows that this type of fearmonger thinking is without merit.
But, having lost faith that voters learn from experience, I am worried that McCain's "big dick" power (to paraphrase author John Irving) might yet again seduce the same dipshits who revoted for Bush. The people who would fall for this can be heard every day and night on talk radio. I hear them. They dispute Global Warming. They dispute that the economy is bad.
Yes, I'm a worry wart. But I was confident when Dukakis ran, and I was confident (even cocky) when Kerry ran, and they lost. We can't stand another loss. Our country can't stand another loss. And our world can't stand another loss.

1. You should be worried... |
|
The fact that voters voted in that idiot in '04 (regardless of your thoughts on Ohio, or any other vote-stealing possibilities - they got him close enough to steal it quietly, at least) proves that they WILL vote for a fear-mongering Repub who will spend trillions in a horrific waste of money and lives in that quagmire of Iraq...and probably expand it to Iran. I have little faith in the American voter after 2004.

2. I think both would win. |

Hillary would make it closer I think, but who knows? Either way, unless they implode they should beat even McCain.
"should" being the key word. :scared:
