One by one, the talking points and news events the Democrats have been picking up to bludgeon the president are being taken away like toys with sharp edges from a toddler

Bush's reelection will be in doubt if he grants amnesty and supports extending the assualt weapons ban.

I doubt it. They've already road tested these measures and think they can spin their way out of it. After all, what ya gonna do, vote for a democrat?

[genefromjersey]

I think it's going to be about as close as the 2000 election-and by no means certain Bush will win.

Things did not look good for President George W. Bush in the summer of 2003

GWB looked just fine in the summer of 2003, despite the efforts of the raving loonies in the media who tried to trump up one thing after another.

What has happened now is those efforts have been exposed as the empty rhetoric that they were.

[KantianBurke]

No but instead of spending my time helping his campaign, donating money and of course voting on Nov 7, I can skip all that and stay home.

[coffmg]

He will if my work has anything to say about it.
I am a retiree that will not get social security because the Dumbocrapw will not allow 'Conservatives' any regards.

I will take my spare $15.oo and send it to the RNC.
Then with my cart I will deliver to my neighborhood the Utah state party pamphlets.

Then I will spend some time on the phones telling people to vote.

Afterwords I shall spend sometime on the Internet.

I hope all this will lead to a GWB win.
If not then I will know that the other side was successful in doing the same thing as I.

And that is ok because this is a democracy and the best workers usually win.

IF those things happen, it will not be good for Bush.

[ImpotentRage]

Agree! In MY opinion GWB has been the biggest disappointment in my voting life. I, too, will be sitting out the election in November 2004. His position on amnesty for illegals and the continuing open borders is destroying this country. I fear for what my precious grandson's life will be like.

[vto]

Yes, I'd bet he will.

I'd also bet on a healthy increase in third party votes.

Since he said he would sign the Bill if it reached his desk BEFORE the election, I don't believe you helped him get elected in the first place.
The NRA knew he said it and so did all the other Second Amendment activists. We were busy making sure we had enough A rated candidates elected to Congress so it would never get out of the committee.

I don't think the RNC is too concerned over those who stay home, after all it's going to be a blowout. I think C3PO and absentee ballot is the only way to send a message. As far as sending the guys cash, after CFR no national or even state party will ever get another dime from me.

[freekitty]

Of course it will.

Republicans for Dean” supporters who aren’t exactly Democrats from straight out of central casting, mainly driven by their opposition to the Iraq war and concern for civil liberties in the wake of the Patriot Act and its coming sequels.

I am a Republican for Dean -- but only because I believe that he is unelectable. Hence my hope that he will be the Democratic nominee.

[no dems]

Thank you! My sentiments exactly. We need to pray every day that nothing goes wrong and that Dr. Howie is nominated by the Dem-o-rats. Not only will GW clean his clock in November, albeit not by a "blow-out", but it will also drive a wedge in his party between the Clinton and the Dean/Gore/Bradley factions of the party. (Just heard today that Bill Bradley is going to endorse Dr. Howie. You go boy!) The more divisivenss in the Dem party the happier I am.

Re:"I doubt it. They've already road tested these measures and think they can spin their way out of it. After all, what ya gonna do, vote for a democrat?" No Libertarian! If enough of us do it we may get our party back!

I'll take that bet. $1000.

There will be fewer third party votes this year than in 2000.

You're a disrupter here, aren't you?
