Les ambigu\u00eft\u00e9s radicales d’une \u00e9lection fondamentale<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t28 juillet 2004 John Kerry a choisi sa strat\u00e9gie et c’est une strat\u00e9gie qui accepte la confrontation sur le terrain de son adversaire : la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale (et, au-del\u00e0, la guerre en Irak). C’est-\u00e0-dire que John Kerry sera conduit \u00e0 surench\u00e9rir sur GW Bush sur la politique la plus extr\u00e9miste de celui-ci, quelles que soient ses intentions par ailleurs. Kerry a donc tourn\u00e9 le dos \u00e0 ce qui aurait d\u00fb \u00eatre sa politique naturelle, de s’opposer \u00e0 cette politique militariste de l’administration GW, comme le demandent 95% des d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9s du parti d\u00e9mocrate<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tEn un sens, le discours que Kerry a prononc\u00e9 \u00e0 la base navale de Norfolk<\/a> est peut-\u00eatre plus significatif que celui qu’il doit prononcer \u00e0 la fin de la Convention d\u00e9mocrate de Boston. Ce discours-l\u00e0 s’adressait \u00e0 tous les Am\u00e9ricains, et notamment aux \u00e9lecteurs qui manquent encore \u00e0 Kerry pour pouvoir compter sur une victoire assur\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab John Kerry borrowed President George Bush’s tactic of using military hardware as a campaign prop yesterday as the Democratic camp sought to promote his credentials as a trustworthy commander-in-chief.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb With the latest polls giving Mr Kerry a slender lead with little more than three months to November’s elections, the challenger presented his vision of national security with the guns of the USS Wisconsin as a backdrop. As president, I will never forget that our security and our strength begins with those brave men and women who wear the uniform as they stand watch somewhere in the world, Mr Kerry told an audience in Norfolk, Virginia, home to the world’s largest navy base. And we should be grateful for their service.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tLa premi\u00e8re question que pose cette \u00e9volution de John Kerry est de savoir s’il pouvait faire autrement. Ses liens avec l’establishment<\/em>, sa compl\u00e8te all\u00e9geance au syst\u00e8me, les pressions dont il fait l’objet de la part de cet establishment<\/em>, sans compter ses \u00e9ventuelles convictions, font \u00e9videmment que Kerry pouvait difficilement faire autrement. Il lui aurait fallu l’inspiration et l’\u00e9lan d’un homme politique inhabituel, ce que le syst\u00e8me ne semble plus d\u00e9sormais autoriser.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa deuxi\u00e8me question est de savoir si Kerry peut battre GW Bush sur son terrain, notamment en arguant du fait que la politique de Bush n’a pas am\u00e9lior\u00e9 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des Am\u00e9ricains apr\u00e8s le 11 septembre 2001. L\u00e0 aussi, m\u00eame si Kerry ne fait que d\u00e9crire la r\u00e9alit\u00e9, il aura bien du mal \u00e0 s’imposer sur ce terrain, parce qu’il accepte la logique du type on ne change pas de Pr\u00e9sident au milieu d’une guerre . A partir du moment o\u00f9 il accepte l’id\u00e9e qu’il y a une guerre, il donne n\u00e9cessairement un avantage d\u00e9cisif au Pr\u00e9sident, \u00e0 moins que cette guerre soit un d\u00e9sastre visible, palpable, incontestable, ce qui n’est pas \u00e9vident aux USA m\u00eames, o\u00f9 le climat de propagande est tr\u00e8s intense et dissimule des aspects importants de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLa question est donc de voir l’effet que cet engagement de plus en plus marqu\u00e9 aura sur l’\u00e9lectorat. Une r\u00e9action significative, par exemple, est celle du cin\u00e9aste Michael Moore, qu’on voyait certes comme un adversaire de Bush mais aussi, par la force des choses, comme un partisan de Kerry, et qui prend ses distances de Kerry<\/a>, d’ailleurs apr\u00e8s avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 mis \u00e0 l’\u00e9cart \u00e0 la Convention de Boston.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab Michael Moore’s satirical documentary on the Bush administration, Fahrenheit 9\/11, may have broken box office records, but it was not enough to win the director an invitation to this week’s Democratic convention.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The feeling is mutual. In an interview with the Guardian, Moore made it clear that he would campaign against President Bush, not necessarily for John Kerry, who, he argued, had to perform better to avoid blowing the election.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb I have not publicly endorsed Kerry, he said. Neither had he been asked to help the campaign. I don’t want them to. I haven’t reached out to them either. I don’t want to. It’s not my job. My job is to inform the American people about what this president has done to this country.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\tKerry est donc dans le dilemme qu’on distingue depuis l’origine. Il est forc\u00e9 de suivre son adversaire plus que de l’attaquer de front, l\u00e0 o\u00f9 il est faible (sa politique militariste elle-m\u00eame). Il est forc\u00e9 d’aller chercher des \u00e9lecteurs (les d\u00e9mocrates pro-guerre) qui lui manquent, mais peut-\u00eatre au d\u00e9triment du gros des \u00e9lecteurs anti-guerre du parti d\u00e9mocrate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\tLe r\u00e9sultat se lit dans les sondages. Malgr\u00e9 les fautes, les scandales, le d\u00e9sordre de l’administration Bush, non seulement Kerry ne parvient pas \u00e0 le distancer mais un des derniers sondages montre Bush reprenant le dessus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\t\u00ab But with more than three months to go before polling day, the pollsters warn that the result is simply too close to call at this stage.<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\t\u00bb The closeness of the contest was underlined by a separate nationwide poll published yesterday in the Washington Post, which showed Mr Bush regaining a narrow lead over his challenger, 48% to 46%, as well as gaining ground on Mr Kerry on issues ranging from Iraq and terrorism to the economy and education.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
