HOW TO BEAT BUSH (AGAIN) -- Blog posting

A great opening bit here:

This weekend someone recited for me the arguments he uses against right-wingers who claim the memo proving Bush ducked military duty is a forgery. All he said was true.

None of it mattered.

Ask yourself this. If Bush had volunteered for combat, lost three limbs and one eye saving the lives of his fellow soldiers, and won the Congressional Medal of Honor, but still had the same views and the same record as President -- would that change your mind, and make you vote for Bush instead of Kerry? If Kerry had really ducked the Vietnam War, hiding in Sweden under a phony name, but had the same views and the same record as Senator -- would that change your mind?

No? Try reversing the situations and ask determined Bush backers if that would change their minds and make them vote for Kerry. That wouldn't matter to them either.

Even if it's a repost... this is such a great thing to read over and over!

1. Exactly. What Jr has and hasn't done as prez is more important

I, and I believe most voters who haven't decided who to vote for, are more concerned with Jr's failures as president than in the national guard.

This petty stuff is only interesting if you already despise Bush. And concentrating on it deflects attentions from present issues:

- Economy
- Deficit
- Iraq
- Healthcare costs
- Position of real leadership in the world, etc.
