Somebody tell me why this is a contest

We’re working for less, we have less of what we need to be secure and happy, we face an uncertain retirement, our grown kids are working their asses off trying to get a leg up (worse, they grasp at anything resembling hope for better days), our parents are running out of money too quickly, we feel bad about our democracy and its lost promises . . . why haven’t the polls buried Bush yet? Does anybody seek the truth anymore? Do Americans expect a free ride, free of thought and participation in this great experiment called democracy? Read, think, read some more, use your human gifts.

Part time soldiers are dying by the hundreds (do the decision makers who got us into Iraq have kids over there?). The world and the terrorists hate us. We are Americans and we need to prove that on November 2nd. Defeat fear, defeat Bush.

Kerry will win for one reason: he has to.
