153. I begged and wrote and pleaded for Kerry
to get some balls and call Bush what he was. Kerry used words like "error, mistake, wrong judgment. He is--and like it or not--the vast majority of the democratic party is the

Gerry Cooney of politics.


Bush said he would "STEP ON KERRY'S THROAT!! Do you remember that??? Kerry should have said well then let's just step outside. But no, out of deference to Bush being president, he wanted to be polite and sanguine in his comments.

Jessee Jackson left you wringing wet after one of his speeches. Kerry left you wondering, why in the hell didn't he say something about the twenty five different issues of incompetence with some anger. Pound his fist on the podium. Do something to get the 30 million people who don't vote in this country to want a reviling putz out of the highest office in our land.

We were ready to come out of our chairs for him but he never gave us the opportunity. We do not know how to go into the ring and do what championship fighters do. We just show up like Cooney did with his Irish hat and his gentle smile. And Cooney got his block knocked off.

We will continue to follow in his footsteps if we don't create some anger and enthusiam to somebody beyond our base. You have to do something to BE president before your skill in diplomacy can do any good. If we don't learn that lesson, we'll be cursing the results of our golden opportunity to take back the congress in one year.

If we lose again, we should lose. We're the corrupt ones.
