YOU DON’T HAVE TO WIN TO WIN
Posted on: Friday, January 30th, 2004 by Renaissance Men
If you were to describe in one word the Democrats fantasizing they can beat Bush in November, you would say Dean is a hothead, Clark an egomaniac, Sharpton a hustler, Edwards an ambulance-chaser, Kucinch a kook, Lieberman a moderate, and Kerry¦?
The word that Democrats want to apply to Kerry is electable.¯' What does this mean?' Exactly nothing, for that's all he is -- that somehow he possesses some magical capacity to defeat GW.
The truth is that John Kerry isn't from Massachusetts.' He's from Oakland, California -- because Gertrude Stein's observation of Oakland applies so accurately to him:'
"The problem with Oakland is that there is no there there.¯
There is no there in John Kerry's soul.' Take most any position he's embraced over his 19 years in the Senate, and you'll find at some point he embraced the opposite.' As Winston Churchill would say, Kerry is a pudding without a theme.
All you really need to know about this guy's character is that in 1971 at an Anti-Vietnam War Rally, he publicly threw away someone else's medals pretending they were his, and now displays his actual medals on a wall in his office.' Integrity is not his strong suit.
However electable¯ Kerry may be, he is far, far from having the nomination sewn up.' Try on this question:' Despite all the banner headlines proclaiming Kerry to have won¯ in New Hampshire and Iowa, how come Howard Dean has more delegates than John Kerry?' As of today (1/30/04,' Dean has 113 to Kerry's 94.
That's because the Democrat' Primaries were designed by Rube Goldberg.' If you're a Democrat, you don't have to win to win.
In the Republican Primaries, or the Presidential Electoral College, the candidate who wins a plurality of the votes in each state gets all the delegates, or electors, for that state.' It's winner-take-all.' But the Democrats do it proportionally.' When John Kerry got 38% of the vote in New Hampshire, he didn't win.¯' He got 38% of the New Hampshire delegates pledged to vote for him on the first ballot -- onlyArticles by Renaissance Men
Either You Are, Or You Aren't a Renaissance Woman!
A renaissance woman is someone who sets her own agenda for personal achievement and will not allow herself to be manipulated or intimidated by self-proclaimed spokesmen who try and wrap their political philosophies around terms like "equality," "choice," "peace," "tolerance" and "diversity." She understands that she has been created for such a time as this and embraces her destiny as a challenge and not a curse, no matter what her personal circumstances. She is a winner not a whiner, a leader not a follower, a victor, not a victim. She wants to change the paradigm of the feminist movement that has served to marginalize and ridicule women who do not follow their collective agenda.
Millions of women around the country, from all professions, backgrounds and cultures, are courageously picking up the mantel of leadership and virtue, that the feminist movement has squandered. They are providing thoughtful and accurate analysis, on a variety of issues, of where, and who we are as a nation.
Remember, this is not a club. It is a mindset!
