EMAIL OF THE DAY I

“You made insightful points regarding what George W. has done wrong during his presidency. I think the worst offense (among many) was hubris. It was offensive. But, but, but, but, but I sense that you are now engaging in delusional behavior, and trying to convince yourself that Kerry can be your guy – because you – like so many others – want to believe there is a better choice than George W . . . I’m sorry, Andrew, but no matter how many reverends, ex-presidents, rock and film stars, and shots of his (distinguished) service in Vietnam the DNC will show you – he is still – sadly – John F. Kerry – you can’t fool yourself – you’re too smart for that.
If Kerry gets in, he’s my president too (and I’ll root for him daily), and W. will have himself (and fight club – Rummy, Cheney, Wolfie, Scooter, et. al.) to thank – but the implications of a Kerry presidency are really bad. Please don’t lose sight of that in your quest for a better answer.
Please understand that there truly is NO conviction in Kerry, no matter what he tells you on Thursday. He has proven this. Now is a time when we need conviction – not political expediency or grand deliberative schemes or intellectual grandeur.
Seriously, Andrew – a nice tall cup of strong black coffee is in order here!”
