Ms Dowd Embarrassment To Women on 9/9/04

Dear Ms. Dowd,

I think you give women a bad name by using your space on the very liberal NYTIMES op-ed page as an amateur gossip or therapist. It is as if you don't understand manly policy so you spend your time trying to be a female therapist. But worst of all is that you don't make sense as a gossip or therapist! For example you say Cheny is a macho paranoid etc. whose theme is: vote for us or we'll kill you." In fact his theme is: "if you vote for Kerry you're more likely to get killed". I'm sure Cheny believes that just as Kerry probably believes the opposite. Your psychological analysis is plain stupid and in any case would apply to both men equally.
Then, in the next paragraph you change your mind to say what there are really saying is: "a vote for Kerry is a vote for terrorism." You pretend that by calling school yard names at Cheny the above statement is not true. If fact Cheny does legitimately believe that Kerry is more supportive of terrorism just as Kerry believes the opposite. It is highly unlikely that both would have the same effect on terrorism isn't it? Would you expect Kerry to say: vote for me even though the terrorists fear Cheny more?
Then you say they use scare tactics, etc., and that's how they got stupid voters into a trumped up war. This of course is stupid since a preemptive strike against Afghanistan was 1000 times less obvious than a preemptive strike against Iraq, and we all wish we had made a preemptive strike against Afghanistan.
Then you say vermin jumps out of Kerry's mouth? Is that Freud or Kitty Kelly??
Then out of the blue, but at least through the aid of a new paragraph, you criticize Republicans for not mentioning Osama at their convention as if a Kerry administration would dare promise a new strategy to capture him. What a psychological gift you must have that enabled to see the meaning in their not mentioning it. You will make everyone of your fellow students who was awarded a BA from Catholic University proud.
Then you mention the pre 9/11 mindset as if the Democrats are equal to the Republicans in their approach to war. In fact Kerry led the convention and the campaign with his falsified military record precisely because no one who ever studied high school history will every believe that the Democrats, let alone the most liberal Democrats, i.e., Kerry, is likely to be a willing and competent Commander-In-Chief. The Kerry campaign, like his entire political life, is a huge liberal lie.
Then you imply that all our enemies aren't terrorists as if this is so obvious? In truth they are because they are all smart enough to know that they can't match us on the open battle field. That changes the strategic equation 100%. Do you want to wait until one beer can full of weaponized anthrax makes the entire East Coast unlivable for 100 years? If you didn't know to preemptively strike Afghanistan, dearest Maureen, then perhaps you should be very silent when we strike a terrorist nation 1000 times more deadly.
Then you close by saying that the Republicans painted Bush as a flextime guardsman but still heroic Commander-In-Chief. This is another lie. They painted him as a heroic Commander-In-Chief based on his 4 years as Commander-In-Chief not on his National Guard experience. It is Kerry who, amazingly, was anti-war, then sought a deferment, then tried to join the Navy Reserve, then falsified his military record, then accused every one of war crimes, and then declared himself a genuine hero "reporting for duty" as Commander-In-Chief. It is pure hypocrisy on an unprecedented scale. Bush admits he was a screw up as a young man.
