Caerdroia: Unacceptable

September 24, 2004

Unacceptable

It is simply not acceptable for any American to:

Dismiss as liars the leaders of countries we liberate from tyrants, when those leaders say that things are better now than they were under tyranny,
attempt to convince allies to abandon support for the US,
attempt to weaken support for the war in order to weaken support for the President,
spread lies and calumnies about the President in order to undermine support for the war,
denounce our friends and celebrate our enemies.

The Democrats in general, and the Kerry campaign in particular, have done all of these things. As a result, I am going to alter my normal voting pattern in yet another way¹: regardless of any other merits, I will not vote for a Democrat for any office - not even local offices - until the national Democrat Party pulls its head out of its ass. Even Democrats I would normally support (Zell Miller, David Boren, Joe Lieberman, some Texas Democrats for State offices) can abandon the Democrats for some other Party or forget it.

¹The last alteration was to no longer vote for Libertarians for any Federal office, on the grounds that they oppose defending ourselves abroad.

The current Democratic challenger sold us and his fellow soldiers out in 1971-72. I really did not believe that he would do it to all of us in 2004.I was wrong. Miller is right.

Yes. It's past time to take such a stand. It is clear that many Democrats care more about obtaining power than protecting the nation. How has this happened? Does anyone remember the old cold war coalition? It was bipartisan, pro-freedom, and politics stopped at the waters edge. Where are those Democrats? Aside from Joe Liberman, I can't think of anyone in that party I can any longer respect. They are marginalizing themselves. Let's help them. No more votes for Dems.
