The Nuisance Of Terrorism
every now and then, a moment of sheer lucidity accidentally slips into the campaign, on the part of one or the other candidate, on the subject of terrorism...
Bush had just such a moment a while back, in a television interview, when he said of the war on terrorism: "i don't think you can win it." he was right, for once - we can contain it, discourage it, minimize it, prosecute it, but we'll never eradicate it. of course, the Dems pounced on that comment, Bush backpedalled and we all went back to which candidate can do a better Clint Eastwood impression... Kerry had a similar moment this weekend, resulting in today's gotcha soundbite: Quote:
so, it's a shame the discourse in this election is so far gone that neither candidate can risk telling the truth - or is the US electorate just too simple-minded to handle it? |

Arent we still fighting LBJ's war on poverty and Regans war on drugs.
Just another invisible threat that will never end and can never win. :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: Ive been listening to some Jackson Browne latley... I’m going to be a happy idiot And struggle for the legal tender Where the ads take aim and lay their claim To the heart and the soul of the spender And believe in whatever may lie In those things that money can buy Thought true love could have been a contender Are you there? Say a prayer for the pretender Who started out so young and strong Only to surrender |
Rightly or wrongly
Yes without doubt,the election is dumbed down.
Unlike some,I think it's so both candidates can follow the story. It's very sad that in a great nation like the USA. These are your choices. Watching from afar I will ask one question. Which of the two,do you believe will protect you best. Kerry keeps going on about bringing along allies. We Brits will always be with you. (always best to be friends with the biggest on the block) But let me tell you something. You can never trust the French,Germans or Spanish. We might be friends with them now. But they have been our Enemy's for best part of of a thousand years. So as far as I can see,Bush is your best bet. Now that is fucking sad. If or when Bush wins I'm going on a bender. Just to try and revive the pain. |
