Reflections on the "New American" Revolution
Saturday, December 06, 2003
There They Go Again: "If the Democrats are serious about governing, they should remember the words of one of their nominees, Adlai Stevenson. After one of his typically brilliant campaign speeches, someone shouted out to Stevenson from the crowd that he had the votes of all thinking Americans.
Stevenson shouted back, saying that wasn't enough: 'I need a majority!' "
This is the thing that worries me most. To me and many who think and read the news critically, it is clear that Bush and his administration are gutting the country, on many levels, to the detriment of the mass of those who support him. Those people seem to be in a trance, and Bush seems to be skilled at keeping them there.
We need to have enough of them wake up and see what is going on. What will make them do that? I don't know, but if the truth doesn't do it, then we're in big trouble.
I support Dean, because he is speaking powerfully about what is really going on. I disagree with Nicholas Kristoff, who wrote the words above, that choosing Dean guarantees Bush victory, because I don't believe that he understands the depth of concern about Bush. And he doesn't propose why choosing any other candidate would give us a better chance of getting rid of Bush.
So vote for Dean in the primaries all you Democrats. Let's see if there are a majority of Americans who can think and see what is really happening to their country.
