Here we are less than
two weeks from the election and John Kerry is still playing "hide the ball." The
last thing he wants most of us -- excluding his loony, militant base -- to know
is who he really is.
Kerry knows that if he releases his military
records or is forthright about his true beliefs on the issues, he won't stand
a ghost of a chance. His entire campaign, therefore, has been little more than
an extended "wink and a nod."
He is locked in an unspoken conspiracy
with his wild-eyed Michael Moore/George Soros/Whoopi Goldberg base to feint just
enough toward sanity to fool the Ward Cleaver voter. After "winking" behind his
shades to the America-haters, he turns toward middle Americans, and with a "nod"
fraudulently affirms to them his allegiance to traditionalism.
What
is Kerry so afraid of? Why doesn't he want you to find out the identity of that
man behind the curtain? Why doesn't he want you to read his book "The New Soldier"?
Why doesn't he want you to see "Stolen Honor"? Why won't he release his medical
records? Why won't he talk about his Senate record? Why won't he address specific
charges about his Vietnam tour?
The answer is that without
convincing millions of voters he is someone that he is not, he would suffer the
biggest landslide defeat in American history -- bar none. What a sad state American
liberalism finds itself in when it can't tout its own candidate as a true believer.
And what a sad commentary on the candidate himself that he would willingly participate
in such a fundamental deception about his very essence as a human being.
All
winking and nodding aside, do you think Kerry could seriously compete for popular
or electoral votes if he leveled with the American people? And do you think for
a second that his extremist base doesn't know exactly who he is?
Just
take his position on gay marriage, for example. He has said emphatically during
the campaign that he believes that marriage is between a man and a woman, but
in every other respect he's the homosexuals' most ardent advocate.
Does
anyone, including the homosexual lobby, truly believe he is opposed, in his heart
of hearts, to homosexual marriage? Does anyone, including the homosexual lobby,
truly believe he agrees with traditionalists that heterosexual marriage is a vital
institution that must be preserved as a foundational pillar of our civilization?
Have you noticed any softness of support among his gay supporters? Of course not.
How
about abortion? When Kerry nods toward the Vatican and says he believes life begins
at conception, then, while winking to the pro-aborts, says he can't impose his
"articles of faith" on others, does anyone believe that the protection of innocent
life remotely approaches an "article of faith" for him? Does anyone pick up the
slightest inkling that Kerry is troubled by the killing of babies in the womb?
Do
you think there's any love lost between Kerry and the military? He has never withdrawn
his institution-wide slander nor apologized for it. He did everything he could
to undercut our military, its morale and its mission in Vietnam, and he has done
exactly the same thing with Iraq. When he criticizes its performance in Iraq every
other day, while saying he respects, honors and supports our troops, does anyone
believe he's sincere? Well, I guarantee you his military-loathing base doesn't,
nor do many of the troops themselves.
What about that evil
deficit? When Kerry rails against the president's unbalanced budgets, does anyone
detect a scintilla of conviction that he intends to tackle the problem? He would
spend our money like a drunken sailor and everyone in his dependency constituencies
knows it -- or they'd be complaining.
How about his misspoken
pledge to support judges who are neither liberal nor conservative and who would
not legislate from the bench? Do you think his activist-promoting Democrat colleagues
on the Senate Judiciary Committee are buying that one?
And
if he is really sincere that his faith will guide his every action in office,
why are the radical secularists uniformly supporting him?
Do
you think his antiwar supporters are the least bit troubled when he puts his war
paint on, puffs out his chest, and says he'll hunt down and kill all the terrorists?
Kerry's
biggest challenge in this election is to woo the gullible class just enough not
to make his nutty base think he might be serious. If that fails, it will have
to be election mischief and litigation.
