Not only will peace become a more popular option as the deaths mount in Iraq, the need to work for peace SHOULD be made as a fiscal argument as well. We cannot sustain the spending levels we are at now (1/2 of discretionary budget) AND expect to provide social services at the rate they grow. They will HAVE to be cut.

Put it that way, and see how quickly people warm up to his idea of cutting the bloated pentagon budget. Especially seniors, tell them that their benefits will have to be reduced due to the need for a missile defense system or the osprey. They'll love that.

This is the moment! We have a golden opportunity here, but I fear that the media has us all convinced it's better to play it safe with the 'electable' candidate.

Unfortunately, I think, deep down, we all realize just how 'electable' he really is (witness all the violently anti-Nader threads). If he were so all-fired electable, going against a failure like bush, why would Nader cause anyone to bat an eye?

The writing is on the wall -- why are so many averting their eyes?
