Then when he stated that this election was a 'Battle between the Christian Right and the Right Christians" the crowd lept to their feet in a deafening applause.

That quote by him reminds me of what Clinton said in 1992 to the DNC convention.

"We have family values, our government doesn't!"

The DNC crowd thought Christ had entered the room. They cheered so loud because they thought: "Seeeeeeeeeeee! We are not immoral jackasses like we thought we were!"

Like Ann Coulter said, it is good to be a Liberal, because you can be immoral (i.e. practice abortion, sodomy, class envy, lying, hatred, etc) and if you get caught---you just say you are not a "hypocrit!"

This is a reply to my report from my father.

A few facts here;

1) 50% of all Americans are too stupid to get a job, earn enough ( or be a criminal) to pay taxes! The vast majority are democrat. Some of them even vote. Most get their news from the national media - ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NYT, WP, LAT.....
2) Iraq is vastly improved from prewar conditions. After only 6 months there is more power being generated, all schools/hospitals are open, 60,000 Iraq's are in the police force - I could go on....
a) Would the world (Iraq) be better off with Saddam still in power?
b) Just 1 ship that went down in WW II would have killed more than all killed in Iraq.
3) The economy, by almost any measure, is dramatically improving. W inherited a terrible economic situation in 1Q 1991.
4) the jobless recovery is due to a new economy - technology allows productivity improvement, we still have over capacity, employers are cautious after learning from the 90's. Jobs will be created when demand exceeds supply.. (To create demand give the people that spend money money)
5) Jobs get outsourced overseas to be able to maintain competitiveness. You think Levi's wanted to shut down US manufacturing? After all of this 95% of all Americans HAVE A JOB! Get over it folks - get the skills to compete in today's job market. Oh yeah, average wages are going UP (NYT 10/26/03).
6) There have been no documented "bad things" happen due to the Patriot Act.

I could go on....

The questions for the 9 Dwarfs are;

1) What would happen if the US pulled out of Iraq before there was a secure environment and Iraqi government? In Iraq? In the middle east?
2) What would happen if the tax cuts were taken away? To the stock market? To consumer spending?
3) What would happen if we implemented a protectionist, vs. world market, policy? Remember Smoot Hawley? End NAFTA? .....
4) What would you have done in 1991 to get the economy growing?
5) As only 25% of the deficit is due to the tax cuts, and 50% is due to reduced tax revenues due to the economy, how would you implement your policies with a reduced deficit?
6) Because you think we shouldn't have gone to war in Iraq due to faulty intelligence, what would you have done in 2002 to improve it - considering you were on the frigging Intelligence Committee?
7) What would you do to fix the Isriel/Palestinian problem?
8) What would happen if we gave the UN (most countries are not democracies) control over US policy?
9) What would happen to demand creation if the tax cuts were rescinded? (???)

This isn't rocket science. No matter what the 9 dwarfs do/say now Bush and Republicans will win in 2004 because the facts are with them, the democrats make no sense, and the American people (at least 50% of them) are no idiots.

DOD

P.S. Lieberman makes the most sense, Kusenich/Sharpton/Brown are idiots, Clark has no organization, much less an economic message/credibility, Edwards is a lightweight, Gebhart is a union tool, Kerry doesn't know how to campaign, and Dean is waaaay too left.

The question before the American voter in November 04 is would you trust one of these characters with the future of America with all the unknowns (i.e. key advisors - Powell, Rice, Cheney, Rumsfield, etc.?)? Furthermore, what will get done with a Republican congress and a nutty Democrat president?
