Kerry not to blame, It is the DNC

[cidliz2004]

or some other organization!

Call me stupid, but if we GOD FORBID lose this election, we should not blame Kerry or Edwards.

Look at 43', he is a MADE SUCCESS every cell of him. He didn't run for President, he didn't put together a campaign, pick a staff... NO - - HE WAS CHOSEN, HE IS SCRIPTED, HE IS TROTTED OUT AND TRAINED TO SAY WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO SAY WHEN HE IS SUPPOSED TO SAY IT.

He is the product of a "CORPORATE EFFORT" TYPE ORGANIZATION(s).

Therefore, we should not be looking to Kerry as much as we should be looking at the organization(s) behind Kerry.

If Numbskull 43' can be President, then his ORGANIZATION, can make anybody President.

Who is behind Kerry? What organization is pulling the DNC's(?) strings? Kerry is a product, not a manufacturer. We need to realize this.

Clinton was a "freak of nature", he pulled the "Organization(s)" along kicking and screaming. The point is, is our organization(s) going to beat thier organization(s)? That in part is us (a teeny tiny part), the rest of it - well I am not encouraged by what I have seen them do with Kerry's campaign thus far. Unless we have a great many people voting for Kerry, I am tense at best.

Not trying to say that Kerry isn't his own man. I am just saying that he is also a product of a whole mechanism that is driving our politics.

Not trying to say that we shouldn't keep trying for Kerry either.

My son said that the "President" is already chosen. He basically said that whatever I do will not really make much of a difference.
To which I replied, "We can't know that. Even when Jesus walked this earth and he probably knew his fate, he still got angry in the temple at the money changers. Why? Why get angry when you know your doomed anyway? Why befriend Judas? Because we were not made to lie down and take defeat. That we are to hope, fight and continue until we can no longer. Period. Until you can answer to why Jesus cared and got angry and befriended people that would ultimately betray him, I won't quit either." He didn't have an answer.

I'm sorry for sounding crazy. You could put me on ignore. I just felt that we need to ask the questions about this campaign and race beyond John Kerry. He cannot answer for everything that we are seeing and experiencing.

The wonderful saying that accountability goes all the way up to the top is true, the question is - who - really is at the top?

1. I agree. There needs to be organization and staff organizing the campaign,

and providing ideas and support on responses to the republican attack. bush never has to do this sort of work or figure out how to do it, the republicans have professionals doing all that.

The same smear campaign was run against Al Gore as is being run against John Kerry, and until the Democratic Party gets a clue on this the same thing is going to continue to happen.

2. Much of the "Organization"

really didn't like Bill Clinton. But somehow when you do the right thing it all works out.

Kerry is more of a real party man. When elected I suspect he will be much more effective than even Clinton was.

3. I agree absolutely!

EVERYBODY in the Republican party has managed to insist, with a straight face, for over four years now, that that lazy, smirking monkey is a great leader. So why the hell can't ALL OF US DEMS in a loud and repetive chorus with all the bells and whistles, insist that Kerry, a man of tremendous experience and substance, who WON THE DAMN PRIMARIES, is a spectacularly fine choice for the Presidency--
AT LEAST FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO GET HIM ELECTED!!
Sorry for the shouting, but I am sick to death of the armchair critics and the (so called ) "some leading Democrats" who never give their names in interviews but are perfectly willing to piss all over Kerry and his campaign anonymously. It's called a campaign because it is very like war, and in a war you never ever EVER betray your allies!! Grrrr. Thank you. I feel better now.
