Thoughtful post. I find that the naysayers are having NO impact on anyone, other than to confirm to the Bush supporters the absolutely necessity of getting him re-elected.

...other than to confirm to the Bush supporters the absolutely necessity of getting him re-elected.

Truer words were never written. After listening to the remaining Democrats last night, I am convinced that re-electing Bush means life, or death, for our nation. This is the most crucial election my country has faced in my rather lengthy lifetime.

Look at the choices:

1) A maniac (or at least bi-polar) doctor with delusions of grandeur.

2) An admitted perjurer reverend who bases his claim to fame and leadership on a made up case full of lies.

3) A fraud from New England -- lied about his ethnicity and then changed it when it became more convenient to claim something else. Flip-flopped from a VN War supporter (1st campaign) to an Anti-War demonstrator (after he lost the 1st campaign) and who threw someone else's medals away and lied about it to grab the headlines. Flip-flopped on his support of the Iraq War -- voted to get in, then withheld his vote to support the troops with funds. I sure don't want to place my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren in Kerry's hands.

4) A "still wet behind the ears" Southern lawyer who made his fortune on the backs of the disabled and who blathers on, bluffing about subjects he knows nothing about -- Islam, foreign policy, education. Is this the candidate who wants to turn the oil and all the contracts over to the UN to manage? Or is that #5? In any case, don't these creeps remember all the UN food found in the bombed out kitchen of Uday Hussein? Could we really trust the UN to handle the oil and the reconstruction contracts without being stolen blind by them?

5) A former general who was relieved of his command for reasons we still do not know, but his former colleagues are not supporting him. He knows nothing about domestic policy and has "secret" plans for ending the war in Iraq by turning over the whole operation to the UN (an organization that didn't want it in the first place.) He's also a major flip-flopper.

6) A US Rep who is just plain weird. Three wives got rid of him. Why would we want him?

7) A Senator and former VP candidate who is the most reasonable of the bunch but who seems weak and ineffective as a leader.

Hello, phillyfanatic--

Think again! Bush's numbers are no better since the Speech than they were when they fell to a 52% disapproval rating.

But, you are welcomed to your views. November will tell the true story.

If you're still not convinced, check out WND sometime at their WND Daily Poll. While hardly scientific, the poll has shown consistently that real conservatives (not RINOS or neo-cons) vote 24 to 35% against the President. That is one third of the base--and probably more. If the President loses just 15% of his base in November--to another party, a write in (like Tom Tancredo) or not voting at all, he cannot possibly win. Demorats are energizing now behind Kerry--the money is flowing in and the miscreants (Dean, Clarke and others) are not able to draw. Kerry will probably pick Edwards, who will go kicking and screaming into the fight against Cheney, the disappearing VP. THAT is a formidable foe, fellow chatters. But, go ahead and berate me and MannyP. It won't gain you one vote.
