[Vision2020] Political question

[Joan Opyr]

Carl asks:

Why not?  Dubya is demonstrably weak on domestic issues, and John Kerry is 
well-qualified to challenge him on those and on his supposed strong suits, 
Iraq, the war on terrorism, and foreign policy.  In his speech last night 
after winning the Iowa caucuses, Kerry also pointed out that he can explain 
to Bush what it's like to be on an aircraft carrier for real.  Perhaps I've 
been watching too much Lord of the Rings, but I'm thinking that standing 
next to a decorated Aragorn might reveal George Bush's inner Gollum.

BTW, there's a great article in Salon (www.salon.com) today by James K. 
Galbraith about job losses under Bush.  It details the flaws/dangers in 
Bush's guest worker plans, the reasons why well-paid manufacturing jobs 
won't be coming back on the GOP's watch, and why employment stagnation might 
suit those currently in power.

So, although I'm a Dean supporter, I would be quite happy with a 
Kerry-Edwards or a Kerry-Clark ticket.

Democrat to the Bone,
Joan Opyr/Auntie Establishment
