Faster, Kerry! Kill! Kill!
So, now that the DNC has officially started, everyone in the political blogosphere has been commenting on what Kerry needs to win this election and get people behind him. He needs to clarify his stance on issues, he needs to show some charisma, etc. I agree, but you know what else he needs?
He needs to show some teeth and use them to rip out Bush's spine.
Up to this point, most of Kerry's speechifying has been rather bland. Even the talking heads at the DNC have admitted that they're not going to use the convention to attack Bush. Meanwhile, the GOP's "war room", set up right across from the DNC, is quickly attacking Kerry for being "too liberal".
If Kerry wants to show a good chance of getting Bush out, he needs to take the podium now. He needs to take this time, when he has the eyes of a nation upon him, and rip Bush to shreds. He needs to point out how Bush is dividing the nation, how he's making the rich richer, how he's fucked up the war in Iraq, how he's pushing the gay marriage thing to distract everyone, etc. He needs to show that he's not going to be backed into a corner by opponents on the offensive. He needs it. And we do, too.
