Area Kossacks already pissed at President Kerry
by Kilgore Trout
Trouble is already brewing for John Kerry at the popular political blog, Dailykos. "I'm just so upset that he has bowed to corporate cronies and special interest" says GreenieAllie. "I mean, I just don't know how he sleeps at night." And on a recent diary titled Waiting for Dean/Obama, poster judybooty had this to say, "Well, I just wish we had done better(than Kerry), we had our opportunity and we squandered it. Now we have to wait another 8 years for real change."
Although the election is still over 3 weeks away, some are already displeased with the way Kerry has handled the economy. " Hell, I'm still paying $2 a gallon for gas. Wasn't he going to fix all this?" says
CaliPhilly. And on domestic issues, some are unsatisfied, "Nothing but taxes taxes taxes, I don't know who I work for, myself or the government. Just look at this FICA(deduction). It's incredible" says
2POd.
Others are upset with Kerry's handling of the war on terror. " It's not a war. I can't believe he's still using that out-dated, Bush rubric. I mean c' mon we're not dumb." Says diarist Smoothmove. "It's just like the war on drugs, we can't possibly win it. I just hope he doesn't do this for the next 4 years." And moderatedem had this to say, "Well, I just read about another bombing in Pakistan. I thought Kerry and Edwards were going to destroy the terrorists. Well, I don't see any destruction yet. I think we've been had"
While the Presidential race has recently tightened, with polls showing a dead heat, some scoff at the very notion of a tight race and are busily looking ahead. "Oh you know it's gonna be Kerry in a landslide. That's why we can't let him get away with anything. Especially now. The fact that he hasn't named a chairman to his Tort-Reform committee is quite disturbing" says brekinrich76. "And I simply cannot fathom why his tax-reform bill rolling back tax breaks for those earning $200,000 and above hasn't come up for a vote yet. " He added, " I would keep my eye on that Kerry guy if I were you."
