From The Black Commentator:
It is now generally recognized that, unless your name is Barack Obama, the Democratic National Convention in Boston was a disaster – a launch pad to defeat. Kerry “and his DLC handlers neutralized all of the constituent groups of the Democratic Party,” said Black Commentator Co-publisher and Editor-in-Chief Glen Ford in an August 27 Radio BC commentary. “He made the party bland, projecting generalities and banalities, and focusing all attention on his own personal character and history. He refused to take up the cause of a vast majority of Democrats – and now, a clear majority of Americans – by presenting an exit strategy from Iraq.”
...“The Democratic base is crying for help but has been left to its own devices in fighting the Bush administration,” writes Margaret Kimberley in her current Freedom Rider column. “While their party’s nominee did not utter one word of even qualified support for their actions they continued to hold marches, vigils, and other actions while the convention took place.”
...Pollster Zogby concluded:
...The basic difference between the DLC and the Bush Pirates is, the New Democrats seek U.S. military and economic domination of the world through both weapons and the cooperation of international institutions such as the United Nations, NATO and other treaty regimes, while the Bush men attempted to discard the whole game board to impose American rule by fiat.
...The straightjacket Kerry wears bears the Democratic Leadership Council label. The DLC, in its quest to immobilize and silence the party’s core constituencies – Blacks, labor, peace forces – in search of a mathematically constructed “swing” and “center” cohort, succeeds only in paralyzing and muting both the party and the candidate. Kerry has penned himself in as tightly as the demonstrators in New York during GOP convention week.
...The DLC’s hug-the-enemy strategy (sometimes called “me too-ism”) inevitably cedes the initiative to the opposition.
...Vote for Kerry for domestic policy reasons; we understand the differences, there. It is also vitally important that the Bush regime, whose assault on world order was stopped in its tracks by the Iraqi resistance, be dismantled.
Kerry and the DLC are no more, and no less, dangerous than Bill Clinton – a founder of the DLC, along with Al Gore. Don’t consider your decision to be a choice between the “lesser of two evils.” Instead, think of a Kerry vote as a return to the status quo ante – a small step back from the Apocalypse.

...Pollster Zogby concluded:
Noticeably, the President is now doing better among Republicans in more states than Mr. Kerry is among his own Democrats. Mr. Bush has also made gains among Independents. In addition to the Senator leaving voters cold on his personal characteristics, he is not contrasting himself with the President on the war. Mr. Bush has clearly defined himself…as the clear, decisive war leader. All Mr. Kerry has done is say he is ready for duty and would do exactly the same.
