Take heart. Today's ratings are tanking. ABC is nipping at their heels and THAT hasn't happened in a looooong time. I'll bet "hair-in-a-can Lauer isn't around much longer.

Is it any wonder?

Should we take any comfort in the prospect of ABC's Good Morning America supplanting the Today Show in the ratings?

I don't monitor GMA in the same way I follow The Today Show, but from what I've seen there's no particular reason to think that it's any less aggressively liberal in its outlook.

I truly hope and believe America realizes all you've posted. America sees not one bit of freedom lost by the Patriot act, whereas they see all the assaults you've stated coming from the left. It does remind me of 1984. What is, isn't.

Dems are delusional and in the process of going out of business.

I love it. This crap is now on CNN, and hits me in the face when I sign on AOL. "Gore fears big brother," is the headline. Anybody still think these people aren't coordinated when they are running with the same message this quickly on a Monday?

You ask ... why they think that the Bush administration would have any interest in taking away Americans' civil liberties?

Not sure why they would be interested ... but they did it!

Did you hear the clip of Gore when he said (paraphrased) that "They have tried to scare the American people so that they can control them. They only want to frighten the people so they can get their votes..."

My rememberence of the quote is VERY BAD. I wish I had it on tape. The quote was the perfect campaign ad. Just play it and ask if Gore was talking about the Democrats. Flashing "Welfare" and "Accusing Republicans of Starving the Elderly" on the screen at the appropriate moments during the quote would be PERFECT.

I couldn't agree more. I heard a speech by Gore, and first, I noticed the same ingredients as all the other Dem Candidates. The second thing I noticed is that Gore sounded like he was just reading a teleprompter and had no clue what words his mouth was saying. The audience was fairly silent and it sounded like people were going "huh?".

Then he stopped and there was a round of applause. I could just picture this scene. Gore stops speaking and a round of applause ensues from the applause machine, and the camera turns to the audience seating, where you see one street bum asleep in a seat. All other seats are empty.

Then I heard another Dem Pres. Candidate on some talk show, and he had the same spiel. He was asked what HE would do about Iraq, and he went into his tirade about NATO and getting the Iraqi's permission before the forces attacked Saddam.

The lead asked him what if Germany and France vetoed attack via NATO as well. Well, that screwed up his answer, so he did the DEM thing. He said, "I just can't see that happening." Then as he continued, he started backtracking about passing the bill to support the troops, not pulling out until Iraq is safe, etc. So, in the end, he wound up agreeing with Bush's actions, but tried to act like he didn't. His remark about getting the Iraqi's permission had me LMAO!

Just like many other Democratic plans, you send one email to: Joe Citizen, IRAQ. If Joe says OK, then you can attack.

The Dems, fearing that the political landscape is shifting against them in some fundamental way, are pulling out all the stops in this desperate, brutal assault on the Bush administration.

Democratic voters are usually the working stiff, and the oblivious. By that I mean those who are isolated from the everyday worries of the world, and who are in the throes of money and power, in one way or another. Like Hollywierdians.

The working stiff is a Democrat usually because he is union, and Organized Crime runs that. OC votes Democratic, because they want Democracy, no Republic. OC picked Democrat because they were the largest voting base, that was buyable. OC owns the DEM politicians, the media, Hollywierd, and the OC here in the US is dishonorable partners with the 300 some terrorist organizations, the Red Mafia, any crime outfit in the world.

They do not like Bush because he isn't a shady dealer. He won't look the other way.

They liked Iraq the way it was, because there were opportunities to exploit.

We traded Saddam food and medicine for oil, instead of giving him money. He sold it on the black market and likely fed the money into the terrorists, who by that time were gaining control of Iraq. 5000 Children a month died because of lack of that medicine.

Who do you think bought that food and medicine, and what did they do with it? Maybe you bought it. Paid for it twice, we did.

The media doesn't talk about that issue either.

We are fighting Organized Crime on a world-wide basis, with the Al Queda as the most powerful, at the moment, in Iraq,Syria, Afghanistan, Arabia, etc. They just demonstrated that their true goal is power, not their religion, as they killed NON-INFIDELS (Arabs) in Saudi Arabia to punish them for cooperating with the US.

They are using the Muslim religion for cover to run an Organized Crime front in the middle east. It's that simple, and President Bush knows it too. Solving the problem is, of course, very complicated, and must be done diplomatically. Which, Bush is doing.

Another thing I noticed is the Dems keep saying "Bush's failed war" or "Bush's failed plans".

This must be a talking point.

I fail to see where there has been a failure so far. Everything went better than expected, and everything that has happened since, Bush told us to expect.

Anyway (sorry I wandered),

Even Sen. Feinstein agreed that the complaints about the Patriot Acts are launched against provisions that AREN'T even in the Act. When your friendly neighborhood Liberal complains about it, ask him/her which provision bothers them. Then ask them to research the Act. Odds are they'll find there's not much to complain about.

Oh I have no doubt that if Ashcroft were exploiting the PA, we'd hear a lot more folks complaining- from both sides of the aisle- than just the leftwing nuts like Gore and Streisand.
