I'm disappointed by the zero-sum thinking inherent in the 'ABB' meme. Anyone with a keen sense of the obvious should be able to see it's "ACBB" (Anyone Can Beat Bush*). Any time I see someone posit that "<so-and-so> can't beat Bush*" or that "<so-and-so> is unelectable" it makes my brain fry and my blood boil. (I fart in their general direction.)

Bush* is, by any principled measure, the worst to occupy the office of the Presidency in this nation's entire history, bar none. He's even worse than any of the runners-up! In a nation of over 180,000,000 eligible presidential candidates, I'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who'd be worse who's still walking around free -- and many who aren't.

For anyone who proclaims themself a partisan Democrat (which I'm not) to besmirch any Democratic (or even another party's) candidate with the notion they "can't beat Bush*" is sheer hypocrisy, IMHO. It violates the truth and denies reality -- effectively participating in the obscene mythologies promulgated by fascists.

If the facts were known, Bush* might not even get the votes of his own daughters, IMHO. It's the job of us citizens to make that truth more known, not to engage in the destructive mythology of Bush*'s 'electability' -- which is just plain not deserved.
