Democrats Lacking Commitment
Hold on to your donuts, I am about to rant.
This morning in the shower it finally came to me what my big problem is with Monsieur Kerry. I don't mean to blather on about this incessantly, nor shall I delve into the memo-forgery-gate situation. Far better people than I have that one covered.
Where I really take issue with Monsieur Kerry is with his inability to commit. Now, I've gotten to the age of 30 and I know that this is not uncommon for men. (I'm not bashing men, it is just my experience that they want to leave themselves plenty of wiggle room.) I am pretty well informed, following this election daily, and still can't figure out where M. Kerry stands on a damn thing.
For example, let's examine the current situation in Iraq. He voted to authorize force, but not to fund the troops. He vows to bring the troops home as soon as possible, but also thinks we should commit more troops. He can't commit! Is he the anti-war candidate? He has said it is the wrong war at the wrong time, blah, blah, blah. Or, does he have some secret plan to fight the war, as he has suggested? Is the secret plan sitting in a sealed envelope in his briefcase next to his lucky hat from Cambodia/not from Cambodia?
For the life of me, I can't figure it out. This isn't nuance. Nuance is eating coconut but only with chocolate. Nuance is liking France but hating Paris. Nuance is not lies.
"I smoked weed but I didn't inhale" is not nuance, it is political double-speak. "Ah did not have sex with that woman" is not nuance, it's a lie. No woman I've ever met would claim that Mr. Clinton's activities with Monica were not sexual activity. Not nuance. LIES.
You can't be both for and against a war, for and against funding that self-same war, want to both increase and decrease troop deployment for said war...shall I go on?
He can't commit. He is the equivalent of my high school boyfriend who wanted me as his trophy girlfriend that he took to our school parties and functions and the ho from that other school who pleased him in other ways. He wants to see other people, but I should be faithful only to him.
It isn't nuance. It is a failure to commit. It is lies. It is selfishness.
None of which are acceptable characteristics in a man who wants to be My President.
