I'm sure it's been read over and over again, but Josh Marshall gives us an interesting view
here, one which, frankly, depresses the hell out of me.
Here we have this allegedly moral President, one with a clear vision and firm purpose, going to a FOREIGN POWER and asking for help affecting our national election, the same crap his cronies were attempting to skewer Kerry with earlier.
Bush is asking to have catholic priests denounce Kerry, and ONLY Kerry from the pulpit, for not agreeing with Bush on a couple social conservative items. Just Kerry, mind you, not pro-war or pro death penalty GOP or indy pols.
Apparently being a Democrat is enough of a sin for these maniacs.
As far as I'm concerned it's rapidly becoming life and death. They will try to fix the election, again, they will try to make political dissent illegal, they will try to make a president-for-life. And they will make a deal with any devil necessary to do it. I don't know how the Pope could refuse a chance to get a toehold on the presidency....
Good lord, I hear Canada is beautiful. I'm fearful of the fallout though, we'd still be kind of close.
