Read This, Then Share It with the Wavering

Tha Hanger is not ordinarily a political forum (although all of its inhabitants are like-mindedly passionate on the issues) but this column by Victor Davis Hanson must be read?and then shared with anyone still unsure about whom to vote for or whether to bother voting at all.

Here are the final three paragraphs...

"John Kerry is probably going to lose this election, despite the "Vote for Change" rock tour, despite Air America, despite Kitty Kelley's fraud hyped on national media, despite Soros's moveon.org hit pieces, despite Fahrenheit 9-11, despite the Nobel Prizes and Cannes Film Awards, despite Rathergate and ABC Memogate, despite the European press, despite Kofi Annan's remonstrations, despite a barking Senator Harkin or Kennedy, despite the leaks of rogue CIA Beltway insiders, despite Jimmy Carter's sanctimonious lectures, despite Joe Wilson, Anonymous, and Richard Clarke ? and more. You all have given your best shot, but I think you are going to lose.

Why? Because the majority of Americans does not believe you. The majority is more likely to accept George Bush's tragic view that we really are in a war for our very survival to stop those who would kill us and to alter the landscape that produced them ? a terrible war that we are winning.

When all is said and done, it still is as simple as that."
