64. So, (orig.post) You're Advocating Shrub Be Left in Place?
Edited on Tue Aug-19-03 08:44 AM by UTUSN
In order for anybody to do things, they must WIN first. If McGOVERN, DUKAKIS and whoever had WON, this would be a different world. And Zeus knows this would be a different place if President GORE had not been couped out.

It MATTERS who "wins". The head of the fish seeps throughout the SOUP. When somebody says there is "no difference", they are PLAIN WRONG. All through the bureaucracy, even just an ATTITUDE, SPIRIT of the top makes a difference in policy decisions all the way up and down.

Who ever said we want to win JUST to win or to "gloat at the Repukes"? Of COURSE we want to make a better U.S. and world. In order to do that, we have to WIN first. This is a winner-takes-it-all system we've got.

On edit: Oh, and another thing: Laundry lists of correct issues are WORTHLESS. You can have a candidate with 99% correctness who is a lousy candidate and possibly lousy office-holder. It's got to be somebody IN TOUCH with their own humanity, meaning, with EVERYBODY ELSE's. Shrub has proved that ISSUES DON'T MATTER, that he was willing to TAKE it ANY which way he could, to PLUNDER and take REVENGE on old scores. You still want to keep him?
