Today, John Edwards charged that President Bush is "in denial about everything" and has started speaking about him the way he might a poor old alcoholic uncle who might claim "I can stop drinking anytime I want to (hic)." No doubt this is part of a new strategy to subtly turn the public's positive views of President Bush into a negative for the campaign. "It is okay to like Crazy Uncle Bush," The spin will be, "Just don't put him in charge of the country."
Thing is, this is disingenuous beyond words and perhaps the most insulting attack to both the president and the intelligence of the average American. If you look at the state of things on the ground in Iraq and see a rosy outcome, what are really the options? If you are of the opinion that the war is wrong and that War itself is fundamentally disastrous (which Kerry who has become close to a pacifist in the last 30 years probably does) then it makes sense to assume that the viewer is delusional. But there is another answer, and that answer is the one which history bears out. When Winston Churchhill looked at the Nazi war machine threatening to overrun Europe, he saw what appeared to overwhelming odds and yet he committed England to World War II. Why? Because he was *DELUSIONAL*? NO! Because he had *VISION*! He knew doing the right thing was righjt even against overwhelming odds.
When Kerry begins the attack tomorrow at the debate, this is how Bush must respond. Every time Kerry tries to make GWB look like "Crazy Uncle George," GWB must turn and show him Winston Churchhill's face. It will then show that GWB is not the crazy one, but rather John Kerry for calling "strong leadership" a sign of "delusion."
