Always Be Attacking

Watching the convention from the media room, but also at times from inside the
convention hall, you get a different take from what’s being seen by the television
audience. Still, when I get a gut feeling, well, it’s usually worth listening
to. I got that feeling last night when as the minutes, then hours ticked by,
I still didn’t know where it was all going. What
the hell was it all about? At the end of it all I still didn’t know. The whole night just floated from one moment to the next. I also
didn’t hear the most important thing of all.
Attacking George W. Bush? No.
Attacking John McCain who’s agreed with George W. Bush 95% of the time? Nada.
Attacking the horrendous policies of the last years that has taken this country
into the worst situation at home and around the world we’ve been in looking
back decades? Zilch.
If this convention doesn’t build to a unmitigated dissection of George W. Bush
and John McCain, especially on foreign policy, but also the economy, one thing
will happen. We will lose in November.
Oh, and while we’re at it, let’s not just assume people know why they should
not vote for John McCain.
Biden can’t do it all, you know.
It’s déjà vu all over again. …so far.
