American voters will make a momentous decision in the next election.
News reports of American casualties and shifting public opinion polls about our presence in Iraq point to the most important issue voters will decide next year: whether our nation has the resolve to stay the course and enforce the rule of law against the rule of chaos.

The DNC is in full retreat; their leading candidate (Dean) is strangely a mix of socialist/communist, and yet also a pacifist. Such diametrically opposite natures reflect the profound confusion that reigns in the liberal mind-set.
Al Gore, the know-it-all environmentalist nitwit wacko robot-liberal (who was so much smarter than Bush), lost the election due to the "minor" technicality of Federalism... And has looked like a whiney, bone-headed buffoon ever since. The last example of liberal elitism is seen for the dunce he truly is...
And yet, George W. Bush- the allegedly "stupid" Texan, has consistantly outwitted the liberals at every turn. They constantly underestimate his intellectual acumen, as well as his strategic moves to isolate the liberals on every issue. Finally, W. exhibited something the liberals, by nature, lack: strength.
On the one hand, the legacy of the Clinton years is a myriad of embarrassing blunders, impeachment, failed foreign and domestic policies and an utter lack of real leadership. These folds of the Clinton legacy are directly responsible for the 9/11/01 attacks.
9/11/01, more than many people would guess at first blush, has undeniably altered the way business is now conducted by our Government. 9/11/01 was a wake-up call, a sign that kid-glove handling of foreign policy is over. That regardless of how happy we Americans are, there will always be unhappy, miserable people who will blame the most convenient target around, for their self-induced misery...
I don't celebrate in any way, the 9/11/01 attacks. God knows, I don't. But I am grateful that it is the catalyst for far-reaching changes in how we see ourselves, how we view our enemies... And how we eradicate them, instead of waiting for the next attack.
The die is cast.
The liberal party, whose pacifist appeasement policy has already been demonstrated to be an abject failure, has been painted into a corner. To acknowledge the wisdom of seeking out terrorists and exterminating them, they would be forced to admit that their poster-boy for liberals- Bubba Clinton- was not only wrong, but derelict in his duties as President, and Commander-In-Chief. This will never happen. Their only alternative, is the path they're now on- pacifism and appeasement. Their arrogance and pride preclude the possibility of acknowledging reality, even as their political base erodes beneath their feet...
Mainstream America, and conservative-minded people specifically, have heeded the lessons of 9/11. Most Americans realized after this attack- in the same way that Pearl Harbor galvanized the USA in 1941 and 1942- that we are at war, protestations by liberals aside... And we must continue on, until we win.

I agree with all you said except for misspelling the italicized words in the above quote. they should read "misunderestimate" and "stratergic". My point is let the dims make fun of "the dumb Texan" I not only believe that GWB will win again in '04 but will do it by an overwhelming margin. The democrats have become a party without relevance on the national scene.
LOL... You know, I'm usually quite diligent about my spelling and grammar skills, trying to get it perfect....
I will try to recterfy the situation in future...
