General Election Campaign Begins

There’s some further evidence that the resurrection of the terror alert color coding system signals the beginning of the campaign season. Dick Cheney emerged from an undisclosed location yesterday to further terrorize us and scare us into voting once again for Republicans:

The thing that’s partly disturbing about it is the fact that, the standpoint of our adversaries, if you will, in this conflict, and the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability to stay in the fight and complete the task.

Wow. Once again, Democrats exercising their voting rights have emboldened the terrorists. Talk about sickening.

Michael Moore was certainly emboldened by the Lamont victory, and while I wish I had his faith that Americans will be finally ready to clean house in Washington D.C. this November, I find myself agreeing with one specific paragraph in his website statement.

I realize that there are those like Kerry and Edwards who have now changed their position and are strongly anti-war. Perhaps that switch will be enough for some to support them. For others, like me — while I’m glad they’ve seen the light — their massive error in judgment is, sadly, proof that they are not fit for the job. They sided with Bush, and for that, they may never enter the promised land.

Words to ponder. Why don’t we view everyone who went along with George W. on this ill-advised journey as suffering from a massive error in judgement? Look across the field of potential Democratic candidates and eliminate all those who fell in line with what some of us knew was a sure-fire path to disaster. I don’t know about you, but I’m left with Al Gore. While I could understand his reluctance to run again after what he and his family were put through in 2000, I wonder if he could be persuaded to throw his hat into the ring?
