Hey Libby.
I really enjoyed reading your response to my questions. Here are some things I noticed.
First, you say you’re a political ditz, but you voiced solid opinions on almost all (save the environmental Q) of the questions I asked.
Second, maybe you were already thinking ahead to my Iraq questions but this part was by far the most interesting to me…I’ve excerpted it here:
IAN ASKS: What would you say Bush’s strategy is for combating worldwide terrorism? Has it been effective, or not, or can you even tell?
LIBBY ANSWERS: Bush’s strategy (at this particular time) seems to be “try and force Iraq into a democracy”. (emphasis added by Ian)
Maybe your brain got ahead of you and was already on to the Iraq question from later in the post.
That sentence of your answer points to one of the most brilliant (and abhorrent to me) victories of the Bush campaign; getting people to confuse the war on terrorism with the war in Iraq. In fact, the Bushies have managed to pull this off three or four times on different issues. Don’t take my word for it. You too can do what CBS did and get verification from this fake Bush RNC video done by the Daily Show (there’s a Kerry one too, both equally brilliant, yet painfully accurate).
Sowing confusion on this issue (and many others) is key to a Bush victory. And although his ability to do so is waning, he’s still getting away with it. At least, that’s how I see it. What about you?
It’s my sincere hope that Kerry steps up the attack he started on Monday with his speech in New York, and end these shameful and dangerous lies the administration has perpetuated since they got in power .
Third, if I didn’t already know differently it, your answers would lead me to believe you’re done with Bush.
But I still haven’t heard the other side of your story…time for Kerry.
Who is John F. Kerry? I mean, what do you really know about him?
Do you think he would make a good Commander in Chief, or not?
Do you think his economic policies would be better for you than under Bush, or not? Do you think the economy is different depending on who is in charge?
And finally, what’s your best reason NOT to vote for Kerry?
