It’s becoming increasingly apparent that President Bush will win re-election this November. The polls show him widening his lead over Flopsy and Mopsy, despite the bounce Dems expected with the announcement of the safe choice VP.
The reason for the eventual success of the President is actually quite simple: he’s running unopposed. Not in the literal sense, of course; the Dems will place a nominal candidate against him, and many will vote for him simply because they hate Bush. But the Dems aren’t going to run a real candidate until 2008 when the country will be ripe for a split government and to take a break from the arduous work of fighting the terror networks and their state sponsors (like Saddam.)
The cipher candidate has announced contradictory positions on every important issue, and most recently has fallen back into the traditional Democratic Party platform of giveaways and fanciful foreign policies. Kerry wants to give us free medical care, free college, lower corporate taxes, more police and fireman, higher teacher salaries, and a completely green environment. And he’s going to do all this by taxing foreign corporations and the upper 3% of citizens. All of that, with so little pain.
As if that weren’t silly enough, the invisible man proposes to solve the Iraq problem by turning it over to the UN and to NATO, in some unspecific power-sharing arrangement that won’t relieve the US of the need to pay the bills for more and better Iraqi security forces. Unfortunately, the UN and NATO aren’t willing to take orders from Mr. Kerry, any more than foreign corporations are going to pay him taxes on their activities outside the US. But the Easter Bunny will apparently join the Kerry Administration as Chief of Staff and make it all work.
Like I said, Bush is running unopposed.
