Kerry, yes!

It seems clear by now that virtually everyone believes John Kerry did far better in the first debate than did George W. Bush. Indeed, many think it was an absolute blow-out. It seems not to have fazed Bush as he was out today mouthing the same old tired phrases over and over. Frankly, I find it inconceivable that there could have been 37% of the viewers who thought Bush did better than Kerry. But, then, I find it inconceivable that ANYONE could support this marginally retarded puppet.

Before the debate I saw somewhere that many people thought Bush would do well as he would come across as nice looking, personable, likeable, the kind of guy you would like to have a beer with, etc. I confess that is not the way he appears to me. I find him not in the least attractive, a smirking, arrogant, swaggering, stupid bully. He was supposed to contrast favorably with Kerry because Kerry is supposedly aloof, cold, and, horror of horrors, French looking. To me he comes across as intelligent, serious, well informed, and on top of things. He also has a nice smile and stands up straight. In short, he is Presidential, which is far more than you can say for the petulant, frowning, I-wish-I was-anywhere-but-here Bush. I have no doubt Bush would do anything to get out of the next two debates. Watch for something to happen to bring that about. A new terrorist threat making it impossible for Bush to leave his “hard work?” A pretzel induced illness? The capture of Osama bin Laden (remember him)? A Korean crisis? An Iran crisis? There is no telling what lengths these Republicans might go to steal another election.

In the meanwhile I can hardly wait until Tuesday when Edwards/Cheney debate. Do you think Cheney might be able to speak out of both sides of his mouth? Look anyone in the eye? Say anything other than his fantastic claim that Osama bin Laden was in cahoots with Sadam Hussein? Will they, in fact, be able to pry him out of his bunker long enough to even show up? I am surprised that with all the negotiations over the debates the Republicans didn’t insist on having Bush sit on Cheney’s lap while debating Kerry. It appears to me that finally, at long last, the Bush/Cheney lies are going to catch up with them. Not that it would matter to the lunatic bunch that would support Bush/Cheney even if they were caught red-handed stealing from the collection plate, or cavorting with prostitutes, or stealing candy from babies. Are they really so divorced from reality they don’t recognize the disaster they have created? Or do they just not care so long as their corporate cronies are still raking in the big bucks at taxpayer’s expense, war profiteering. Basically, however, it was, and is, about Oil. The theft and control of Oil. Never lose sight of this basic fact. But it also has to do with Israel and the theft of Palestinian land and water. Make no mistake about it, the Bush/Cheney hole-in-the-head gang is the most evil administration in the history of the United States. To allow them another four years of killing, burning, torturing, raping, pillaging, lying, and destroying the country we all love and revere is absolutely unthinkable.
