I've gotta tell you folks, I'm angry. Kerry lost because his nomination was a foolish choice by the DNC to begin with.

Millions of Americans like myself were not at all comfortable with Bush and were and still are especially enraged about his idiotic if not criminal "proactive" war. We would have been willing to vote for almost anybody else, but the key here is "almost". This election was just sitting there, a big, fat, juicy, ripe tomato ready for the democrats to pluck, and what do they serve up to us as a candidate? John Fucking Kerry.
Arguably the most liberal senator in the entire democratic camp, the possessor of an undistinguished 20 year record in congress(unless you like higher taxes and a weaker military),a man who shows no signs of leadership but instead seems to continually reinvent his position on almost any issue to reflect the direction of the prevailing winds of public opinion polls, a man who insists upon picking the scab off the nation's never-healing Viet Nam wound and then feigning hurt and surprise at the resultant bleeding, a man who comes across to middle America as a spoiled, condescending,pontificating Brahmin who owns multiple SUV's (or wait, they were Theresa's, right?) yet lectures us on global warming, who sports $90 haircuts while wanting "to get me a hunting license", who isn't averse to taxing the begeebers out of the rest of us while he can afford to be off windsurfing and snowboarding while paying taxes in the 12% range on an annual income greater than most of us will see in a decade, a man who, with his orange skin and botox and rude if not crude spouse, displays, in short, none of the traits middle-America sees in itself nor seeks in a president.

The democatic party didn't have to nominate a Zell Miller, but had they chosen someone at least close to the center of the democratic middle-meridian of thought rather than to choose someone with so little appeal to centrist voters, George Bush would have been beginning to pack his belongings this week.
Picking John Kerry to run as the democratic candidate is akin to the GOP electing to run Pat Robertson or Pat Buchanon for the office of President and then being totally surprised that middle America wouldn't go along. Duh...
So thanks alot DNC power brokers. Thanks for 4 more years.


There, I've vented. I feel so much better.
