Ahhh. The debate continues...

The following is an e-mail exchange between a colleague and a newspaper editor in Madison, WI. My colleague knows the editor personally, so there's a bit of 'friendly' banter here (edited):

Kurt: The Europeans also visited several other states/cities, not among the most liberal. You assume too much, like your assumption your hero now has a mandate. Be aware, Kurt, that this was hardly a landslide. You did get the majority, but more Americans -- in fact, a heluva lot more Americans -- voted for John Kerry, the villified Massachusetts "liberal" than voted for Ronald Reagan in either of his two terms. So I wouldn't assume that liberalism is dead.

In fact, I'll make you a bet. For years from now your guys will have run this country so far in the ground that even you will come running for some help. Kerry was far from a joke. The real joke, my friend, is on you.

Mr. Z,
I find it amusing that you and many other liberal Democrats continue to find fault with our President. When are you going to wake up and quit pretending to believe the John 'I have a plan' Kerry would have been a better leader. He was a joke! There are many issues that need to be addressed but this President will not only lead this country to prosperity, but will bring both peace and economic stability to the world. Instead of the constant badgering, find a way to work with him.

I also find it amusing, that your European visitors went to the East coast, west coast and the most liberal state in the Midwest to find out what makes America click. I take it these visitors are much like you and probably in the same occupation, because like you, they know nothing about what the reality of the world is. Plus, the assumption that their countries won't work with us is already obsolete.

In time we will all know!

PS- It is the liberal media that 52,000,000 Americans are sick of.

The 'more votes against a sitting president' is straight from the Howard Dean letter. Good to see the press is still getting their internal memos!
