Oh, and the MSM will conveniently ignore the truth in favor of getting their favorite son Kerry into office....

The leftist ideology/JFKerry are on a MSM life-support system...It is time to pull the plug.

The dems are acting like they are entitled according to Fred huh? Well I wonder why they would act that way, their whole platform is filled with entitlement programs for people that need no other qualifications than being alive.

You know, I think Kerry and his campaign staff need to be called what they are sometimes - terrorists. Now I don't mean to be hypebolic but think about it. What is a terrorists goal most times? To scare people, to terrorize them into doing what the terrorist wants.

When Kerry lies to young people about the draft, tells old people that Bush will take away their Social security, that every one's health care will be cut, all of the lies he has been telling is just to scare people in different categories like telling black people that Bush will take us back to the days of Jim Crow. That is scaring black people and in extreme terms, terrorizing them into voting for him.

Ya'll may not like the way I put this, but I just feel this way at this point.

It began back when the 'Rats and the media decided to cover up for Hitlery when she decided to destroy the White House travel office and attempted to have them railroaded into prison with trumped up charges. At THAT instant they decided that the ends justified the means and it has gotten worse every election since then.

When they lose this one and if they lose more congressional seats in 2006, by 2008 they will routinely resort to physical violence against GOP supporters and will genuinely surprised when they are arrested and jailed for it.

By 2010, the mullahs in Iran will run the DNC from Indonesia.

I'd love to see them riot. I would pay money to see democrats take to the streets and declare war on conservatives. I want to see them go so completely over the edge, they are destroyed forever.

This is just the lefts latest excuse to lie and cheat their way into office. After all, it was the Demwits who tried to steal the election in 2000 with 3 recounts and trying to manipulate which ballots to count and at the end even trying to say they knew how a particular person WOULD have voted by looking at their chad...Nothing dishonest there, and they won't listen, because they don't want to listen. They think they are right, they have the communist mind set, the ends justifies the means. They want to take our constitution and trash it, listen to the old blowhard Conkrite, in a recent interview he says we need to turn our sovereigncy over to the UN!!! "It will be a bitter pill to swallow" he said but we must do it! Bull, the left wants to do it because they think they will be the elite of the new one world government. Vote for Kerry if you want to be a slave, vote for Bush if you want to be a citizen.

The reason why the Dems are apoplectic is because the next President will get to pick at least 3 USSC Justices (and the Chief Justice). It isn't about Iraq. If a President Gore had invaded Iraq they would have rooted him on. But, they need those Leftists on the Supreme Court to determine that anything other than leftist tyranny is unconstitutional.

Good article, but I don't think Fred goes quite far enough. This isn't just Dems acting out on a sense of entitlement. This is Leftist thuggery that's as old as the statist movement. When the Left does not get its way, it has always used violence, riot, intimidation, civil unrest, and the overthrow of governments to force their will upon a society.

You see it in the religious bigotry against the president, a born-again Christian, and against his conservative Christian supporters. Without any evidence, Bush's opponents accuse him of believing that he has a direct line to God and that God gives him instructions, such as when to invade Iraq, and that any criticism of him is illegitimate. You see the bigotry as well in the belittling of Christians who support Bush as if their political views have no standing or worth because they may have been influenced by their religious faith.

This is why they hate Bush (and folks like me so). The 2000 election is a sore point. The WOT is a convenient whipping boy focal point but the cultural values espoused by Dubby that I mostly share is where the rubber meets the road. Folks here who think the culture war is over or unimportant are naive and foolish. One day we will have to fight here over that very conflict. Take the checksheet of the ACLU or SPLC or NOW or Emily's List or an Greenie outfit or the NAACP or LULAC and you can basically check all of the above "yes" for almost any lefty or all of the above "no" no for any righty. The only exception are skeered socially lib soccer mommies, jews, and religious blacks who may vote out of character over the WOT....maybe some youngbloods as well but the schism is still over cultural polarization. Continued unbridled immigration may make all this moot anyhow but for now it's grim even when we win Tuesday. I have no doubt.

The "Bush stole the election" is a blatant lie. The Terry McAwfuls know it...

McAuliffe and the DNC are responsible for initiating and maintaining this fiction.

McAuliffe and the DNC are, in turn, creatures of the Clintons. Thus, it is our ex-President and First Lady who are chiefly responsible for the climate of hate that corrodes the country today.

One can be certain they have created this climate for a reason. It will somehow be useful to them in the future.

We are in a civil war besides a war on terror.

And OBL probably knows it.

They are for peace. Therefore they can lie cheat and steal. Republicans are for war. Therefore even if they walk on water they are guilty.

Except they can't say that because they dumped Dean for a waffler who won't even say he is against the war. They believe it anyway. They have just agreed to lie about what they stand for - which is immediate retreat followed by appeasement and submission to everyone who ever threatens the US.

His recent video makes that abundantly clear...Similar to the medical system that they have worked so diligently to destroy (in order to justify metastasizing government power), the american leftists have no compunction of putting at risk our economy or security for their utopian ideals.

. Correct, the first volley of this new civil war was started by Gore and his slimy lawyers. They are out to destroy this great Republic by any means. They lust for power no less than Stalin or Hitler lusted for power. The results will be the same. The left is as evil as the left of old. Through this election I have come to realize the left is a much greater threat to this Republic than the terrorists ever will be. The left is a evil cancer that is destroying our country from within. For those of use who cherish Liberty, Truth, and Individual rights, these are very trying times. The bear witness to the lies, distortions and incessant insanity of the left, it stirs the soul to anger. The left in America will became as evil as Stalin, Hitler or any other brutal dictator. I swear to God Almighty that if the day ever comes that violent war with the left breaks out in our great land, that I will fight and destroy them where ever I find them. We must wait until the day they take the first violent step. Then they will stir the great Warriors of Liberty and they will have justice served to them in a way they never can imagine. They will quickly understand that people who cherish Liberty and Freedom are always more powerful that those who worship at the alter of government. I pray for a Bush win.

I think there are a few senators who need to go FIRST: Daschle, Specter (why did Bush EVER back him?--he can't be helping in PA; and what an asinine response HE had to the impeachment question!), then Harkin, Hagel, Lugar, and McCain.

You mean invoking Scottish law as a justification for his "not proven" verdict?...The guy is a rat, a liar and un-American for that slither.

I would say the seeds of today's rotten fruit were planted by the JFKerry anti-war (pro-communist) 70s.

It's going to be a hell of a fight to get 3 conservatives on the Supreme Court. The Senate is controlled by Rats and Rinos.

It's going to make Iraq look like the cake walk that it truly is.

I hope W has at least one more good fight in him.

I don't see how it is possible without a super-majority.
