One thing about all these people swinging toward Bush....
One thing about these people swinging toward Bush are not solidly supporting Bush. I would say to you that the only reason they are with Bush is because they know more about Bush than Kerry, and of what they do know about Kerry is shaped by Bush.

The people that I have talked to that support Bush have said that they don't like Bush but they think that Bush is better than Kerry. They do actually see Bush as the lesser of 2 evils (lol!). So even if many support Bush, they reluctantly support him.

We should instead have proud support for Kerry, especially after knowing about such things that he has done including this: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2004/0409.sirota.html


A lot people siding with Bush are still soft on support for Bush and can swing back to Kerry if Kerry can define and show himself to trump over Bush's labels.

2. Republicans crying for help
Next week I am having lunch with a client, a Republican, who just wants to talk about John Kerry. He said he has noticed my ever present "Veteran for Kerry" pin and some of my letters to the editor. I don't sense that he asked to meet with any idea of changing my mind. I think he, like a lot of Republicans, is frustrated that his only option in his own party is an extremist and a chronic failure.

4. John Kerry
has cast iron stones, a mind capable of complex analysis, and according to a friend of my sister's who dated him briefly before Theresa ... well, never mind.

It's simple. Vote for a man who plays hockey or one who falls off bicycles. Vote for a man with a life time of public service or vote for a cheerleader nicknamed "Temporary" by his Skull and Bones peers.

Its simple. Vote for a man or vote for a wanker.

5. I Have A Kerry Sticker In My Rear-View Window
People have asked my why and given me the opportunity to explain the whys. I will repeat, Bush is NOT liked out there, some may lean towards him because of scare tactics. But he is Not liked.
