"Can [insert candidate here] Beat Bush?" [View All]

[WilliamPitt]

Only if you help them.

Helping, for my money, is not picking one candidate and sticking to them like airplane glue. That's the characteristic of a person in the general election, running against some psuedo-benign shithead like Bob Dole. You stick to your candididate like flypaper in that case, hands down and no question.

We're not running against some psuedo-benign shithead. We're running against Death, period.

I have run a fundraiser for Kucinich here, started several Clark defense threads here, stood up for Dean on multiple occasions, and battled the Kerry fanatics tooth and nail, while also starting a thread praising each candidate individually and in depth. I'm a Kerry guy, as stated, but I don't give a flying fart in a tornado who gets it in the end. I will help The Candidate.

The problem, right now, is twofold. Right now, The Candidate is _____________. No amount of hope or yowling or "I think" can change that. At some point, a lot of us are going to have to come to grips with the reality that our guy or gal ain't getting invited to the big dance. I'm ready for it. Are you?

Also, we're running against Death. Period.

So, can (insert candidate here) Beat Bush? Hell yes. Absolutely. These guys are sitting in a deep, deep hole and asking for more shovels, because that is their nature.

_________________________ can win, but only if you help. 'Help' can be defined as not destroying every other candidate but your chosen beloved. We're going to have to live with one of these people not too long after the snow flies, I think.

I guarantee we'll be happier with any of them than with Bush et al. And here's a neat thing: After we win, WE ARE THE BASE, and we can run right up The Candidate's back and dance on his or her face. The Base can do that. The base has that power.

Think on it. Sounds like fun to me.
