Reply #31: I was that kid in school

[LittleClarkie]

Damn it, just thinking of him in that role makes me want to cry. I know what that's like. I used to be shy. Now if anything I'm overly agressive. Finding the between ain't easy.

I think he was that kid in boarding school. He wasn't rich enough (not at all really -- he was there because of a rich auntie and because he still had the right pedagree). He wasn't Republican like the other rich kids. He was to serious and ambitious at a time when it was chic to be unconcerned.

He learned to guard his heart. If he let's you see it, it's a compliment to you.

As I just said in another thread, he's the debate geek. He's more qualified than most for the job of president, but it's a popularity contest.

Why is it the pundits never seem to connect with him, but sometimes I'm so connected it hurts? In that article, they talk about the intensely loyal. Well, we may not be enough to swing an election, but he sure has that kind of loyalty here. We're not be all that widespread, but damn it, we're here!

Is it the pundits themselves? I would assume most of them are just too jaded to not assign political motives to almost everything he or anyone does. Does Bush get a pass because of 9/11? Or because he wines and dines the damn bastards until they're drunken, whoring hearts are just pining for that Texas drawl.

Damn it. I want Kerry! Why aren't there more of me!?
