Anybody But Who?
The idea and the spawn of the “Anybody But Bush” campaign is a sad emergence of baseless politics, that even socialists do not adhere to. This line of thinking is sadly the result of individuals uncertain of what they believe in because they live in a world of nothing but gray. When you cannot say for certain what you absolutely believe in, you are left with the relativistic idea that anyone could be right (except President Bush of course).
To compound this problem of irrational thinking, these individuals declare what they absolutely do not believe in. Relating to the criticisms of John Kerry being a flip-flopper, having no core values and his inconsistencies of being FOR something before he was AGAINST it, shows that he is faced with the same conundrum. What do I believe?
Unfortunately, he does not have the luxury of being uncertain as to what he believes. If you want to be the leader of the United States, especially during the War on Terror, you have to know what you believe in. Otherwise a victory for you is truly a victory for terror. When we shirk away from our responsibility of strength in the face of terror, we are handing over our country to the likes of Osama and Al-Qaeda. This is exactly the mistake that Spain made and exactly the mistake I hope we do not repeat on November 2nd.
I was recently in a conversation with a friend of my fiancé, that showed her support for the presidential hopeful. I responded, “It should shake you to your core, rock the foundation of your world, that terrorists like Osama want John Kerry to win!” Her rebuttal, “It doesn’t really shake me like that, because maybe they [terrorists] wouldn’t hate us so much if Kerry was President.” This goes right along with the idea that we can negotiate with terrorists.
Here is a glimpse of that unfortunate reality if irrational thinking like that overruns our country on Election Day:
