I volunteer for a group where follow-through -- and the inability or reluctance to sustain righteous indignation about an issue long enough to make a difference (on the assumption that righteous indignation about such puny, tinfoil-hat matters as Little Tora Bora and Cheney pretending he never met Edwards is somehow beneath our dignity and a distraction from the "real issues") is a problem. I diagnose the Kerry camp with this ailment. When and if Kerry wins it will be in spite of the "no need to press that point, we've got him on so many other issues which are less controversial" mentality. Hey -- we carry on in spite of it too.
So, I heartily agree.
Also, hammer on:
1. Mixed Messages -- turn this against Bush dammit
2. Beslan massacre -- tie it rhetorically to Bush coddling Zarqawi dammit. Too late now?
3. Little Tora Bora -- Edwards DID say, for the first time in the campaign, that the administration has "created a terrorist haven in Iraq where there wasn't one before." But he needed to repeat such statements for emphasis and, being a trial lawyer, I am surprised Edwards did not.
4. "I DON'T KNOW HOW HE PLANS ON PAYING FOR ALL THESE (domestic security measures), I MEAN THE TAX IMPLICATIONS AND ALL"
Why won't Edwards DESTROY Cheney by forcing him to defend that statement by Bush? Why can't he do so TOMORROW? What's WRONG with these New Democrat type Strategists? Are they trying to throw the election? No WAY they're holding this in reserve to use against Bush later!!! It'll be OLD NEWS in less than a WEEK ---damnit!
There, I said it, I feel better now.
