I watched Kerry’s speech with justified skepticism, criticality, and a clear understanding that the Democratic Party is, in fact, the moderate wing of the state-corporate duopoly that rules America. No informed and honest appraisal of the structure of political power in the United States can discount this reality. The evidence is undeniable. The scholarship cannot be refuted.

But I have no choice but to believe in John Kerry. The years of the Bush presidency have been marked by darkness, despair, and a sense of unreality like I have never experienced. What BushCo has gotten away with is nothing short of stunning. I swear to God they must have put something in the water supply. How else to explain the mass psychosis that—if the polls are correct—has stricken roughly half the adult population in this country?

This nightmare must end.

So, despite my well-founded cynicism and doubt about the Democratic Party, I allowed myself to be moved by Kerry's message of hope and change.

And he delivered.

If there was any doubt that John Kerry is ready to be president, it was shattered, in my opinion, by his thundering speech, which brilliantly stated the Democratic Party vision by contrasting it against the foul and morally bankrupt policies of BushCo.

Deliver us, John.

Don't let us down.
