Flipping, flopping and flailing

The explanation du jour is that there are "two wars," one against "the terrorists" and one in Iraq. He doesn't mention whom we're fighting in Iraq. Presumably he thinks they are "freedom fighters" or Iraqi patriots.

Still the media accord him the benefit of the doubt by analyzing his statements as if they were really motivated by policy concerns. They're not. He's flailing around trying to find an argument that will turn voters against Bush. The problem with that is that he still hasn't given them any reason to support John Kerry. The only reason Bush isn't up by 20 points is that the media have gone about as far out as they can to undermine him without just admitting that they're partisans themselves.

Two Americas. Two wars. When you have to borrow ideas from the people you beat in the primaries, you're getting pretty close to empty, yourself. The only real question I have now is whether the voter fraud will be sufficient to put Kerry in. I keep remembering the vandalism at the White House by Clinton's people when they left. Petty, dishonest and willing to hurt the country if they don't get their way. That's what the Democrat Party has become.
