Because I wanted to yank some chains and get people thinking. The title WAS a bit inflamitory but my message was thoughtful and respectful.

If I had instead chosen some wonkish title like:

Positioning strategies for general election candidates,

would you have read it?


This debate is no longer an academic debate, neither we nor the world can absorb another four years of these crazies. The time for whining "there is no difference between parties". I think it is pretty clear we would have been better off with a Republican moderate than the crazy nuts we have in the WhiteHouse today. I am NOT advocating that we support a moderate Republican or a sold out Democrat. I AM advocating that we give serious thought to picking someone who IS mindful of the issues that are most pressing and who can win. You think today is bad, imagine if these morons are really dumb enough to think they can conquer Iran. Unlike Iraq, Iran is united ethnically and has terriain you do NOT want to be fighting in. We invade and BOTH countries, Iraq and Iran will turn into terrorist cesspools and will spell the end not just of the empire of Bush's dreams but of America herself and all the good we have done and could possibly do in the future.

THAT is why I wanted to spark some genuine debate.
