Thread Name: BS: Michael Moore Speaks to Democrats
Subject: RE: BS: Michael Moore Speaks to Democrats
This is, I think the second letter like this Moore has put on his website.
And then, there was Bush's speech to the UN. Now that ought to raise a few eyebrows. Kerry should be all over that speech this week, and sharpening that message on Iraq.
Personally, I think it bogus to admonish and harangue and try and shame the voters with these sorts of "pep talks" the way Moore and so many other "Anybody But Bush" sycophants have done this year. And I am utterly convinced the progressive left is going to pay a hefty price for throwing support to the Democratic Leadership Council after November 2.
I saw a Kerry campaign ad last night that turned my stomach. He said "I'll work for the middle class" or some such. The bastard. Just like Clinton. Abandon the Democratic working class base, and go for the easy middle class soccer mom vote.
No thanks. Anjelica Huston had a line in a movie I saw that applies here. She is fed up with being bamboozled and exploited by everyone around her. Pouring her anti-depressants down her kitchen sink she says "I want to know when I am in pain".
Voting for this particular Democrat in particular, people have convinced themselvses into believing things about the candidate that simply are not true, to make them feel more and better justified about voting for a really terrible candidate. Come November, they will go into the voting booth feeling no pain, and pull the lever next to his name, without thought. Deadened to the prospect of what it all will mean.
