Liberals, bare your teeth

Attacks from 'war president' are unrelenting -- time to return fire

After nearly three weeks of being laid up with illness, my head is swimming with political topics (or maybe it's just all the new medications): Nader's megalomaniacal presidential bid, which will draw about six votes. America's long-dreamed-of, finally successful bid to get Haiti's Jean-Bertrand Aristide out of power without appearing responsible. The sheer wretchedness of being stuck in a hospital room watching television "news." George Bush's homosexual love tryst with Barry Bond's personal trainer.

OK, I made that last bit up. But now that John Kerry's nomination for president has moved from the inevitable to the fait accompli, that last bit speaks to the one issue, above all other, that assumes urgency as we wade into springtime in this critical year of 2004.

This year's presidential race is going to be the most important the United States, and the world, has seen in decades. At least. And it is going to be very, very nasty. Liberals had better stop being nice, stop being complacent or cynical or despairing or disengaged, and take your gloves off. Now.

Like it or not, the president who came in promising to unite us has created, in only three short years, the most polarized and the most bitterly politically divided country since Reconstruction. His team has created more anti-American hatred around the globe than has ever previously existed in history. Those same political strategists have shown that they will stop at virtually nothing to gain and exercise power, and will do so almost exclusively to enrich their hyperwealthy friends and feed their warped ideological crusades -- crusades that, if presented honestly, would be rejected by the vast majority of their countrypersons and the rest of the world.

4. I'm willing to get downright Machiavellian.

Before, I was not an "the ends justify the means" kind of guy.

But this end - to boot Bush from office - is the biggest end I've ever contemplated. And I'm willing to get dirty and underhanded for to reach this end. I'm willing to draw blood, and to get bloodied myself. There's just too much at stake; I can't overstate this.
