You wanna piece of me? Sorry, I just had to say that. Ever since Elaine kept asking George's father if he wanted a piece of her in that Seinfeld episode, I've tried to work it into my daily conversation, but it's never been the right moment. Sorry,....I'm done amusing myself,now. Here's the deal.
I've noticed some complaining about wet blankets, nay-sayers, doomsdayers, etc. on DU lately. It occurred to me that some people might be talking to me. I HAVE suggested that Kerry address the swiftboat liars forcefully. I honestly don't see a downside. HIS HONOR IS BEING BESMIRCHED BY A BUNCH OF FREEPING LIARS FOR GODS'SAKE!!! Who doesn't stand up for themselves in a situation like that? At the very least, who doesn't have some really WELL PREPARED operatives out there doing for them, and countering the lies point by point? How in the * can anyone who professes to be for Kerry be against that? I honestly don't understand.
I don't know how involved many of you were in the 2000 election. I was very involved, and I saw what they did to Al Gore when he took the high road. Certain lies (think "I invented the internet") became common knowledge and were parroted even by Democrats. Just because we know the swiftboat freaks are liars doesn't mean the swing voters do. They don't. Even Hardball, in which Matthews slaughtered O"Neill a few days ago, is watched by almost no one. You can not count on anyone to fight your battles for you. And you can't wait until it is "common knowledge" that Kerry shot himself, fled under enemy fire, or faked his medals. I don't believe in underestimating the sheer evil of the other side. And I think that the 2000 election, which was STOLEN from us while the mainstream Democrats hemmed and hawed, is proof. That's all I'm sayin'.
