He failed to go on the attack against Bush's failures, and, as someone wiser than I has said for months, campaigned on the issue of security. \r\n\r\nSecurity is an issue owned by Republicans. Real security is a subtle and complex thing, but rhetorically, the Republican arguments for increased forced sound more feasible than a Clintonian balance of powers. It jibes with the mythology we have (or myopia we suffer) about our foreign policy.\r\n\r\nThe one thing I like about this Kerry campaign is that hundreds of thousands of people are starting to take their politics more personally. I saw two Pasadena Democrats out at the shopping area tonight, selling bumper stickers. That's something new under the sun in America. We haven't had politics in public in a while. Not the kind of public politics where no politicians show up, and where there's no media.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.pasadenademocrats.com\/\r\n\r\nThis is the kind of "vote" you can't get from a big media buy. This is the kind of participation that a lot of Democrats don't really like -- it's called real democracy. Good for them.\r\n\r\nAnd, there's also the big Nader push. If the whiney wing of the Democratic party could stop complaining about Ralph for a minute, and really assess what's happened since 1996, they'd see that Nader's been a catalyst whose helped create the Deaniacs, by example. The Green party campaigns proved, to those who would notice, that people are willing to work for and pay for a proper candidate with solid democratic ideas, and a real track record.","author":"more rational","parent_id":117013,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2004-09-20 03:35:55","modified":"2004-09-20 03:35:55","fileurl":""}]}
