Imminent Danger?!?
I have to say, I'm so middle of the road in terms of politics now, that I don't know who I'm going to vote for. I may even leave that part of the ballot blank, I don't know yet. Here's what I have a problem with either candidate:
Bush says that Kerry is flip-flopping and that we HAD to strike Iraq to teach them a lesson, and when the U.S. is in danger, we act ASAP. Problem is, we never found nukes, never found anything that would send a payload to the US. Where was the imminent danger? Where were the dirty bomb factories? I'm not saying that there aren't Iraqi agents here in the US that can hurt us, I don't know, but clearly there are still people there, in that country, that don't want us, or anyone else there... And the argument that the people still fighting our forces are just pro-Saddam is stupid. So you think that if the evil Canadians invade and I have a gun, that I'm not going to shoot at them? Even if their cause is "righteous"? Whatever.
Kerry has this horrible problem of not saying what he means in succint terms. I know that the Rep. spin artists truly took his words out of context about the war and say that he is flip-flopping. But damn man, say these two phrases. "He went about the war all wrong" and "I continue to support A war in Iraq". That way there is NO grey area, basically, the war was for the good, but the way we did it, was not. Easy stuff, and with a speech writer on staff, you would think it would be that easy...but no, instead he rambles a bunch and has no feeling in his voice.
So basically, it's the war-mongering good-ole-boy or the boring monotone guy. I dunno, I'm almost inclined just to vote Kerry because I don't know what he can do, he hasn't made any presidential mistakes yet. George can always run again in 4 years.
