How to Pound Bush in 2004
How to Pound Bush in 2004



Picture a man standing in an office, handsome, serious. It is Rand Beers, a former top Bush administration counterterrorism expert, looking into the camera and telling America the exact same words he told The Washington Post this past June when he resigned from his job with the National Security Council and joined the John Kerry presidential campaign: "The administration wasn't matching its deeds to its words in the war on terrorism. They're making us less secure, not more secure." (The words appear along the bottom of the screen, for emphasis: They're making us less secure, not more secure.)

Perhaps at this point a shot might home in on a document—the oath of office he keeps framed upon his wall. Then he might say something like: I served under presidents Ronald Reagan, Clinton, and George H.W. Bush. But what I saw under this president made me do something I never thought I would do: quit the government service.

Cue close-up: steely eyes.

Stirring music.

I decided this past June that the best way to keep my pledge to help secure my nation was to work full-time for the defeat of this president.

I have often said, and in fact, have made public the challenge, of wanting Bush to meet me in the ring for even 3 rounds. No gloves, no head gear, just good ol' mano a mano. I'd even spot him the first five punches.....

I can dream can't I ? .....

:evilgrin:

4. You know what is a really good thing
is that Bush provides so much material for ads that attack him, his policies, and his "leadership". Since such ads I think are exempt from any campaign finance restrictions (since they don't promote any particular candidate), there will be LOTS of organizations (Soro's organization ACT comes to mind) who will make good use of the material that Bush provides. The repukes will do this too, but with Dean or Clark running they won't have nearly as large a cross section to shoot at.

It's going to be a bloody battle.
