I swear to God, if we're still debating swift boats and executive type writers in 1 month, Imay not vote. The Democrats started this 527 mess, and although I think there's no real comparison between Kerry's proven war record compared to our president's lack of such, I also DON'T CARE.
Kerry hasn't seemed to figure out that white, middle to upper class men are going to vote for Bush....period. All of this tough guy shit is great, bt being a good soldier doesn't necessarily make you a good commander-in-chief.
Don't ge me wrong, this Bush administration has carried out what I believe is one of the worst foreign policy agendas in the history of this nation. With that said, people feel safer with Bush. M grandmother feels safer with the man, and that's why she'll vote for him (that, and he wears his Christianity like a Coach hand bag, but I digress).
This president has utterly neglected his duties in international affairs. Kerry would immediately restore some global credibility, and has also wisely set a time table on Iraq that is pretty reasonable. He would build the kind of coalitions Bush I might applaud.
However, domestically speaking, Kerry is sort of vapid. I know his policies exist....somewhere.....but they have been drowned out by bullshit debates about swift boats and Air National Guard papers, etc.
I think the debates could save this discourse. I would like to see both campaigns denounce these outside 527 tactics, publicly, maybe even in a joint-memo or something. Anything. Just cut this shit out, and talk about "bread and butter," so to speak.
okay, I'm done. :)
