it's all greek to me.

With the Swift Boat Thugs and Liars still leaving Kerry supporters smarting and Bushies gloating (over the effectiveness of lies and smear), it takes a Greek woman to snap us back to what matters.

Arianna Huffington's column today hits the nail on the head:

Focusing On Undecided Voters: Not A Very Swift Idea

I've decided: I've had enough of the undecideds.

Thanks to a tidal wave of polls, focus groups, Powerpoint presentations, slideshows, studies and laboratory dissections, we now know more about undecided voters than we do about almost anyone else involved in the 2004 campaign - including the candidates themselves.

For instance, it turns out these irresolute souls are more likely to be white than black, female than male, married than single, and live in the suburbs rather than large cities. They are less likely to think that politics is relevant to their lives. They are likely to be younger and less educated than the general electorate - but older and more affluent than those who have committed to a candidate. Most will not make their decision until the week before the election. . . . keep reading


it's all greek to me: arianna huffington sets us straight.

The fact that this Swift Boat horse shit continues to float like a resilient turd goes to show the utter stupidity of the American voters, if you ask me.

It amazes me that the guy who actually went to Vietnam is getting a beatdown on behalf of Dubya supporters. Just ask Bush where he was during his service in the Guard. It sure as hell wasn't the Mekong Delta!

Either way, score one for Karl Rove's campaign of smear and lies. They got one over on Kerry because he took the bait and directed time and resources to The Story That Never Was.

I just hope he gets smarter and realizes his ammo box is full of REAL issues: tax cuts, War in Iraq, stem cell research, War in Iraq, government over-spending, War in Iraq . . . are we noticing a trend here?

Sen. Kerry, keep your eye on the ball.
