02/28/2005 Archived Entry: "Sartwell on the Democratic soul"

Radley Balko's personal blog is well worth checking out. For one thing, it led me to the transcript of an extremely insightful speech by Crispin Sartwell on the soul of current Democrats. Sartwell stated, "I hate the Bush administration. But let me utter a few words of praise for Bush's campaign. Bush spoke plainly and took definite and controversial positions. In many cases, these were positions that were polling in the minority." By contrast, John Kerry "on the Patriot Act, on No Child Left Behind, on war, on gay marriage, on whatever: in every case he voted and spoke with one goal: getting elected president."
