<blockquote>"Ladies and gentlemen, my opponent wants to lead this country into the 20th century. He says he'll leave no child behind! I, on the otherhand, believe that most of you can count, and realize we're in a new century, where we need new solutions, not some cowboys and Indians swagger. John Wayne is dead! God rest his soul. What do we need a bad impression of him for?

"My opponent tarred one of my colleagues with a broad brush of dishonesty, saying he claimed to have 'created the internet'. I'll tell you who created the internet: people who weren't afraid to invest in the future of this country! Democrats! Sure, we cost a little more, but we're worth it!

"And, really, do we actually cost any more? The economy is sure going gangbusters right now, but are you better off than you were four years ago? I asked a waiter the other day what he thought about the 150,000 jobs that this economy created last month. He thought they were great! He had three of them. Folks, we don't cost you any more. We are experiencing the bugs bunny effect right now, where we ran out of ladder $500 billion dollars ago, and yet we rise. I watched my cartoons. I know what happens after that. We are going to make an America shaped hole in the groud unless we take back those handouts to the super rich and start using them to make the ladder longer."</blockquote>
OK, I've run down. And that wasn't really what you were talking about anyway. Absolutely we need a candidate with a face and a personality. That means Dean or Sharpton or Edwards, and maybe Clark. Absolutely we need to start looking ahead to the future and getting folks to start seeing the Shrub as the Past (though I would argue that it ould never hurt to let people know just what a lousy human being he is and what a wretched thing this administration has been for the country.)

We need to talk about a Prescription Drug plan that works. We need to lay out a plan to make sure that, when we make sure no child is left behind, the damn schoolhouse doesn't fall down behind them. We need to remind people that industrial pollution is just murder in slow motion, and have an idea to do something about it. We need to talk about raising the standard of living for the bottom 99% of Americans who really only got a loan from Bush. We need to talk about how not to live in fear, but how to live secure in a world community. School costs more. College costs more. Energy, water, the drugs that keep our seniors healthy all cost more. It's still the economy, and he's still stupid!

Guess I hadn't run down all the way.
