Your analogy is great except that the gun has no firing pin and the sword a dull stick of rust. Critical factors to consider because the republican candidates and this President are functional
ly as useless.
Kerry had plenty going for him - he wasn't an incompeten
t like dubya. He had a proven record as a fighter for justice and a fighter for right even when right wasn't popular.
But he listened to the same sort of advisors with whom Obama has full faith and confidence
. Instead of pushing for solutions or balling up a fist against the opposition
, he decided to let the swift boaters plow him over with barely a wimper. And that reinforced the "weakness" meme that the republican
s continue to play up during every election season... just as Obama's constant capitulati
on and acquiescen
ce of leadership make him weak. Not "noble" or "adult" or "president
ial" - weak.
You may be right that a candidate should have emerged by now to be able to make all the deadlines and raise money. But even if one doesn't emerge, I can't justify voting for a bumbling failure or a well-meani
ng failure. If the choices end up being only between those two, then it's between losing my house in 2 years or 4 years. Great options.
We'll see the landscape more clearly over the next few months while republican
s continue to make a spectacle of themselves
, using the "debates" to bash the President.
.. and the President will continue to be silent.
