There's the snotty presumption he's born to be President... The last guy who was born to be President was Algore.

Thanks Pokey!
His default position is the conventional wisdom of the Massachusetts Left: on foreign policy, foreigners know best; on trade, the labour unions know best; on government, bureaucrats know best; on defence, graying ponytailed nuclear-freeze reflex anti-militarists know best; on the wine list, he knows best.
Thanks Mark Steyn!

Here is my analysis of this election: Is Bush in a better position now than he was in 2000? Yes. He is the incumbant and he has a list of solid accomplishments to show: tax cuts, success in Afghanistan and Iraq, and a booming economy.
Is Kerry better than Gore? No. He is not an incumbant. He is not more interesting. He is not more experienced. He is not a better speaker. He does not have better positions. He does not have a better vice president.
Prediction: President Bush to get at least 52% of the vote and at least 300 electoral votes.

the real distinction is not between pro- and anti-war, but between September 11 Americans and September 10 AmericansI think that this is the truest statement in the piece...other than hard core Democrats anyone else who votes for Kerry doesn't get it...they want the war to go away...they don't understand that if we don't go on the offensive and win this thing that Islamofascism will just get stronger...they are not serious people.

I thought the new democRAT mascot was a hamster.I've seen the running gag about the hamster for some time, but somewhere along the line I must have missed the reason. Can someone link me to an explanation? Mucho thanks.

It was interesting to see Ben Affleck emerge as the Hollywood mascot of the Democratic Convention. I was in Boston last Thursday and Friday and I was praying that some news person would ask me my opinion of Senator Kerry's speech. I didn't listen, of course, but I had my answer ready.
Well, I'm sure Boston is glad that it's village idiot will be out of town for two weeks. At least he won't be in the Senate voting for stupid things like unlimited partial birth abortions or voting against funding our troops unless he can increase taxes on the middle class first. I saw that Ben Affleck liked him. Actually, I thought the convention was going to nominate Mr. Affleck. Not only is there precedent for an actor whose career is failing to make an outstanding President, but Mr. Affleck has the advantage of not looking like he was resurrected from the dead to run for office. It would also provide an excuse for believing all the lies Michael Moore put in his Democratic Campaign Contribution, Farenheit 9/11 since we don't really expect actors to know what Senators should know. But the corpse is nominated and the Democrats can rest easy that he won't have to give any major speeches any time soon.
That's what I would have said, but I was never asked. Thanks for letting me say it here.
Shalom.

You have to enervate the base," the Hollywood heartthrob advised solemnly.Bwahahahahahahahahaha...you are so right, AHerald.
For those who don't notice it, what Affleck was advising with his solemn pronouncement was to weaken the vitality of the Dem base. In other words, Affleck doesn't know what "enervate" means. From Mirriam-Webster's online dictionary:
Main Entry: en·er·vate
Pronunciation: 'e-n&r-"vAt
Function: transitive verb
1 : to reduce the mental or moral vigor of
2 : to lessen the vitality or strength of

WHAT COULD HE HAVE MEANT, "ENERGIZE", PERHAPS,INSTEAD OF "ENERVATE"?No, Affleck meant what he said he just didn't know the meaning of what he said.

Ben is sKerry's boy toy. What else does he have to do? His acting career is in the crapper. Ben could embrace the Senator in his next marriage - in accordance with the Massachusetts law. But is he rich enough by the Kerry's matrimonial standards? That's the question.

Kerry now says that Bush "misled" him on Iraq. But, if he was that easily suckered by a renowned moron, how much more susceptible would he be to such wily operators as Chirac.YES! I've been saying this for MONTHS. How much of a sucker can you be if you get suckered by the biggest "idiot" in presidential history? In the words of Fred Sanford: "Not only is you a dummy, you's a STUPID dummy!"
