Overheard along the way
 

Just finished a little trip to attend a wedding and see family on the East Coast. Had to change planes in both directions, and had the opportunity to eavesdrop on political conversations at three different airports in three very different parts of the country.

I kept hearing the same thing everywhere. And I've been hearing it for a while:

"I'm not happy with George Bush, but I don't see a viable alternative."

Anyone care to discuss?

sKerry doesn't really seem to be making much of an impression even among some Democrats that I know. (I know I know...I usually shower after I hang around with them. :D) His flip-flop record is a huge problem and I'm glad to see people that recognize this. Also, he keeps saying he has a plan for this and a plan for that....well I think people are waiting to hear some concrete info which never seems to be forthcoming. Between that and his willingness to put our national security into the hands of an impotent UN and worrying about our reputation in the international community...I only pray people will use their heads instead of "anyone but Bush" as their guide come November.

I was wondering RL, when you overheard this comment were you in traditionally democratic areas? Hopefully these people are in fact voters, and if nothing else will choose President Bush.

Absolutely true. I was reading coverage of his latest speech, about his 'plan' to protect the nation from nuclear attack, and the high points of his plan consisted of 'stopping North Korea from producing any more' and 'keeping terrorists from acquiring nuclear material.'

To which my response is, thank you, Capt. Obvious. Have any workable ways to actually make this happen?

I thought the exact same thing.

What does he think we have been doing?

TR

Hillary will be the candidate in '04.

I actually heard sound bites from that speech...he thinks that is the biggest threat. No s*** Sherlock. (I like Capt. Obvious better) I actually was "talking" to him from my chair..."like what kind of plans you loser, exactly how do you plan to stop them?" And he thinks President Bush isn't addressing this....WTH?

<---Taking a deep calming breath......

I reckon he's getting a taste of the 'responsibility blues'. That is, it's easy to sit on the sidelines and sharpshoot a guy making decisions. It's a lot harder when you have to provide better ones instead of just bitching and moaning.

My guess? His proposed 'plans' towards most foreign affairs issues are going to be suspiciously similar to the ones we're already executing.

Please God NOOO.

You really mean '04?

It's just more of the same with lil John John

He's really earning his nickname of "Liveshot" now. Have camera, will go on and on and on about nothing

Airports. I think they still allow Republicans. LOL

On second thought I think Capt. Oblivious is more apropos.

:lifter

Don't think so. '08, sure. Not '04.

LOL silly me...I meant geographical areas....

Well, these were big cities and city folk tend to be Democrats, but Republicans will come in when they have to catch a plane. LOL

BRAT! :D
