I think we can defeat George Bush.

I would not have said that even a month ago, but I think we can defeat George Bush. The media have finally had enough of the three years of evasion. Democrats are finally standing up on their hind legs and saying enough is enough. And the general populace seems to have finally discovered that there is really very little there there.

Questions I have seen posed lately by the media:

1. If there is really nothing to what the Democrats are saying about the "missing" National Guard year, why not produce some documents, pay slips, any body who served with him, or anything to prove that George actually was in Alabama with the National Guard?

2. Why can't you admit that if there were no WMDs, then perhaps we went to war on false pretenses?

3. In light of the absence of WMDs thanks to bad intelligence, is the "preemption" doctrine dead?

4. Isn't this current budget estimate rather deceiving in that it does not take into affect the Iraqi and Afghanistan expenditures?

5. Explain to me how this budget with its cuts to major service programs, including education, qualifies as "compassionate conservatism."

6. Whether or not athletes take steroids, why does this merit attention in the State of the Union?


Kerry wins easily in Missouri (thanks to my vote). I would feel very very comfortable with a Kerry-Edwards ticket, but we definitely need to get Dean and his youthful supporters committed to the '04 campaign. Dean got us where we are today by being the gadfly we needed. Now we need him to be a part of the team - just not on the ticket.
