58. I think you are replying to a post that referenced some other posts

3 of which were mine, I guess thanks for saying they are elegant, but I think you ought to know a thing or two about pretty words.

Pretty words may be Kerry's asset in getting YOUR support, but they are not going to help him with people who already agree with his policies, even bleated out in blunt and often incomprehensible bushese.

I'm talking about where you can take votes FROM bush and persuade those people that despite his use of pretty words, Kerry will implement those policies more efficiently and better than bush does.

You should not waste resources on people who are displeased at the lack of substantive difference, but EDUCATE those who are UNAWARE of it - people who are deceived by corporate media into believing that Kerry is some kind of liberal hippie peacenik who cannot be counted on to prosecute the war on terror aggressively, take pre-emptive action when US business interests are under threat, be strong enough to enforce the Patriot Act to keep the Homeland safe.

The voters are who the voters are. They want what they want. Although some of them may not know that, Kerry can and will give it to them, if he's elected.

If you want to beat bush, beat bush. The time for trying to paint Kerry as Che in a Brooks Brothers suit is past now, barring a life imitates Seabiscuit or an unscheduled revolution between now and November.
