More Politics…

Watched Fahrenheit 9/11 with on Friday night. It got me riled up. Angry. Upset. Sad. And not just a little bit determined to make sure that the current occupant of the White House, George W. Bush, is fired from his job. In fact, it got Tracy and I both so upset that we went to a rally the next day and pledged to do everything we could in our neighborhood to make sure that the voters who typically swing the Democratic direction do get out to vote.

See, the movie is supposed to be just entertainment. But it is very inflamatory. And if only 10% of it is correct in what it says (and Michael Moore, regardless of what you think of him or how he spins things, has an excellent record of presenting facts, not fiction), then the choice for president of this country, becomes clear: Not Bush. Notice what I didn't say there.

I am not a Kerry supporter on the whole. Some of the things he says are completely nuts… and the typical logic that carries many arguments of this sort doesn't play out here. That argument being: Better the Devil you Know. Not in this case it isn't. Anything is better than what we have there.

Bush's father, President George the First, didn't invade Iraq for two reasons. The first being that it wasn't the mission of the coalition. The second being that there was no good exit strategy. Looks like President George the Second didn't learn very well from Daddy… Iraq is such a fugged-up mess that the term Viet Nam is beginning to sound like an apt analogy.

Let's make sure he gets fired on November 2.
