Consider the presidential election of 1864. The defeat of the incumbent, Abraham Lincoln, would have made an enormous difference. Union casualties were heavy throughout the year. It was widely expected that Gen. George McClellan, ousted from heading the Union army by Lincoln in 1862, would be the Democratic nominee and that he would win. Lincoln was renominated by the Republican National Convention in June, but through September many prominent Republicans were plotting to choose another nominee. Lincoln clearly stood for continued prosecution of the war, and the Republican platform came out strongly for the abolition of slavery. The Democrats were united around McClellan at their August convention but divided on policy. The Copperhead wing of the party wanted immediate peace, and it managed to write the party platform.

Is the 2004 election as consequential as the election of 1864? The answer to that question depends on what you think John Kerry's military and foreign policy would be, and there is room for thinking many things.

They would use (and DO use) Trotsky, no matter that he stood for the opposite of what they do.

8. The very last line of this crap piece

Throwing out this president would make a difference.

This asshole argues that because Kerry has "violently" critcized Bush and has more or less emboldened the "terrorists."

9. Hey, It’s a Free Country

And they can compare Bush to whomever they like.
Personally, I like to compare Him to Hitler and them to Fascist.
Before he and they got a running start that is.
But that’s just me.
