AP Wire | 07/07/2004 | Veterans protest war in Iraq: "'I supported this war at first, when my administration led me to believe that it was the right thing to do to oppose the government of Saddam Hussein and free the Iraqi people,' said Capt. David Harris, a 12-year veteran who recently returned from Iraq." The question is... will the truth about Bush's deception and failure trickle out to the general public in time for the election? Will the GOP spin machine succeed in tarring the John's with the horrible stigma of being.... WEALTHY? (oooh irony you fickle mistress!!!) Will the fundies clamp their hands over their ears, shout LALALALALA, and vote for Bush anyways? While I don't feel comfortable making a prediction about the election I get the general feeling that the tide has turned against Bush and his policies. Even here in Oklahoma I hear people talking about the issues in ways that don't seem to favor Bush. So while he will still win the state I suspect that in swing states around the country, crucial supporters are making the decision to stay home. I find that lately, when I criticize Bush I no longer get angry rebuttals but resigned acceptance. There is just no way you can argue for the Iraq invasion with WMDs or terrorism. Both have proven to be false and those people that stood up for Bush on those grounds were left with egg on their faces. A year later we have found no weapons and the 9-11 commission has stated that no tie exists between the September 11th attacks and Saddam Hussein. So unless they can find Osama Bin Laden hiding in an Iraqi cave surrounded with Saddam's WMDs with framed pictures of Osama and Saddam hugging, they got nothing. Unless they want to run on the economy, and there, people know better than the rhetoric. You can tell people all day that the economy is booming, but unless they see it, they won't buy it. |
