If Bush wins the election he continues on with his agenda, ignoring reality, ignoring America and the World. That is, money will flow unimpeded to "rebuilding" Iraq with no accountability and little results. The Iraq invasion will continue to provide a smokescreen from more pressing issues and will continue to serve as the "Threat to National Security" thereby justifying new laws to reduce our Freedoms. Ignoring bin Laden, Bush will eyeball an invasion of Iran, which may make the draft necessary (again first proposed by a Republican) and may invade if it looks like he needs another smokescreen to divert from the real problem on not finding bin Laden and dealing with known, active terrorists. If Bush wins, of course, Kerry loses, which will be embarrassing for Kerry, the Democrats, and ultimately America.

If Bush loses the election Kerry inherits a mess. The Republicans will immediately launch a KerryWatch, as in "See? He hasn't made things better!" This after a few days in office. The Republicans will hold Kerry to an unattainable standard while extolling the vaporous virtues of George W. Bush and prepping Governor Jeb for 2008. The Republicans, after stating that America should stand behind their President, will impede Kerry at every opportunity because this election shows that it's no longer about America, it's about controlling power. And the Republicans want power for themselves.

In short the Bush wing of the Republicans are so concerned with their own private agenda that reality, truth, justice just aren't concerns. They know they can manipulate the Media better than anyone come election time so that Bush and Company are free to do what they want to do. Just look at what's happening now. Bush, Cheney, and the Rest of Gilligan's Island paint Iraq as a positive bastion of Democracy. Powell, who likely knows he isn't coming back, is joining those living in reality in saying Iraq has some major security problems and that things aren't peachy-keeno. And who will people believe? The one with the positive spin.

Watch the debates. I bet Bush will constantly mention Kerry flipflopping. Hopefully Kerry - with a smile - will throw it right back at Bush and mention how much of a flipflopper Bush is. Hmmm, that could be good:

Bush: There you go again - flipflopping...

Kerry: You know, Mr. President, I learned from the best, namely yourself. Why - are you the Peace President as you said during your campaign run in '00 or the War President which you so recently proudly proclaimed? Is Iraq winnable or not? You've said both things within days of each other.

Note to Kerry - on issues of flipflopping - show Bush as a comparable flopper. Take that attack away from the Republicans. But, I fear, Mr. Kerry that even if you win you lose. America should be very sad and very concerned for our future.
