The coming implosion

Rasmussen Reports has posted numbers for the day and they show George Bush ahead of John Kerry by one point. Is this a big deal?

You bet. Kerry has had a bit of a lead on the President for most of the last few months. Never very much of a lead -- only a point or two -- but enough to trick the public (and the Democratic Left) into thinking that their boy could actually win the the election. However, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the group that is pushing John O'Neill's new book, Unfit for Command, seems to have damaged Mr. Kerry. Mr. War Hero appears to be much less than meets the eye -- at least according to the guys that were there at the time. Combine Mr. Less-than-War Hero with Mr. Anti-War Hero -- remember all the war atrocities he "confessed" to when testifying in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1971 -- and you've just pissed off almost every Veteran in the US.

(I'll avoid the obvious "taking on water" jokes. Indeed, as an aside, I really didn't think this rehashing of Vietnam would turn into much. The Vietnam War ended when I was 13. I'm more concerned with coming war with Iran that 30 year old history. I apparently, was wrong.)

So Bush is up by a point this week. So what?

The what is simple: nobody really supports John Kerry of President. The Democaratic faithful might not like Bush (they almost certainly hate him), so they're voting for the Un-Bush. And as long as it's percieved to be close and Kerry could possibly win, Democrats will hold their collective noses and pull the lever for Senator Waffle. However, should Mr. Bush build a real lead (remember, Rasmussen's polls are three day moving averages so this number will almost certainly shift more in favor of the President), look to the Dems to come completely unhinged and start cannibalizing this generation's "JFK". We got a whiff of this back in the spring, when the reliably Communist Village Voice was openly complaining about Kerry after their annointed, Howard Dean, freaked out on national television and death spiraled into oblivion.

The implosion is only now beginning. Rage will fill their little rodent brains. They will blame everybody other than themselves for the mess they've created. But that rage will not stay bottled up long. Indeed, if the President's numbers tick up significantly before and during the Republican National Convention next week in New York City, expect a violent, anarchistic mess from all those nutty Democratic-fringe Hate Groups.

Bad mojo. Flickering images of Chicago in 1968 when Mayor Daly's cops gave protesters wooden shampoos amongst clouds of tear gas every night on the news. Even I remember those days and I was only 8 years old. And you better believe that the Kerry Campaign will get stuck with this second millstone around it's neck as well. These are Kerry's people after all. Very bad mojo, indeed.

Disgusted that they chose supposed electability (Kerry) over principal (screaming Howard), the Democratic faithful will stay home.

And Mr. Bush will roll to a much bigger victory than anybody is predicting now.
