i cried
i went home last night from a day of everyone saying the same bleak things, the same real thing, the unavoidable facts that we are, as i repeated, in the grip of a Death Cult. But, i cried for John Kerry, not necessarily because he lost what was one of the more valiant races of the past decades, but because of those who hated Bush, voted for Kerry, but never really liked him like he liked you. He clung to America, the way a spelunker clings to the rough, darkened rock that populates the darkn ess. He held the torch for the way up and out of the ignorant cave. He was inclusive about it...it was for EVERYONE!
But just as so many "undecided" or "unaffected" voters voted for Bush ONLY because it was a vote against Michael Moore(i heard this from a caller on C-SPAN), many who voted for him did so without knowing very much about the man, or making an effort to try (And NO, the media was not helpful in helping us to get to know one of our brightest politicians) Many never saw his 1971 Senate testimony in full,.,,.,saw the laser guided conscience. Many never read the details of his Senate record, his help in unifying North and South Vietnam, many never cited his record for the environment, many never read his 1997 book that tackles the emerging issues of tracking down and cutting funding for International mob and terrorist groups. Many never knew just how close he came to exposing the Bush family cocaine wars involving shady banking and the Iran-Contra affair.
No, many voted against Bush but not FOR Kerry. Well, that made all the difference....
