Nobody gives a shit about this nonsense that constitutes Democratic "attacks." People are afraid because they have been made afraid, and Kerry cannot console them in 60 days. The fear is out there. That's the environment. The question is which candidate scares the American people more.

If Bush was president in 1962 over 50 million Americans would have been burned alive.

I would have been one of them, too. I can honestly say that I would be DEAD if Bush had been President. That is real to me.

Our intelligence during the Cuban missile crisis was the usual 'slam dunk.' The military said the Cuban missiles were not armed yet and we could take them out with air-strikes. But Kennedy learned during the Bay of Pigs invasion that the military and CIA were often full of shit. He didn't accept anything they said as gospel... just an estimate.

What we found out forty years later was this: many of the missiles were already armed and ready to go before we ever knew anything about them. If Kennedy had followed the faulty intelligence he was being handed we could have lost the entire eastern seaboard from DC to Miami before we even knew what was happening.

2. we'd be dead before you could say "pet goat"
if anyone doubts that a stupid disengaged president is a dangerous thing, all you need to do is play them some of the Kennedy tapes from that period.
