Reasons From A Sad American

In stark contrast to the writers at Slate (below), Sad American explains clearly and movingly exactly how the Democratic Party lost her. An excerpt:

President Bush won on values, yes, but not hatred of gays or any other stereotype you have in your head about Bush voters like me.

He won because he has values, clearly defined values, and even though I agree with little of what he believes, at least I know what he believes. At least I know that he really does believe in something. At least I know that he will do what he says he will do.

That's disgustingly little, but unbelievably — you offered me less.

Read, as they* say, the whole thing.

* They, of course, being Glenn Reynolds, who seem to have survived their struggle with multiple-personality disorder and are back to their usual one-post-per-fifteen-minutes schedule.

1 "At least I know that he really does believe in something. At least I know that he will do what he says he will do." Any port in a storm? Might makes right? http://www.piratesandemperors.com

2 Well, no. The point is that whether you agree or disagree with President Bush, you know that he is honest. You can trust him, even if you think he is doing the wrong thing. Senator Kerry offers no such assurance. Anyway, like I said, read the whole thing.

3 Though I do not agree with Bush and would not have voted for him were I eligible, he takes a firm stand on most of the topics he's faced with. And compared to the attitude of Kerry, who would change his views to the way he believed people wanted, that is very admirable. Kerry makes me think of mercenaries. He leans towards the winning side, or he will choose what he thinks the general public will choose. That shows that he does not really have a set plan, and he would most likely take the presidency and play it by ear. It's as if he wanted to be president for the sole purpose of removing Bush, instead of considering the fact that there are over 280 million people that would be looking to him when they are in need of governmental assistance.
