You specialize in conclusions which have no basis in evidence.Bush's base was perfectly happy WITHOUT 400 Zillion in new Medicare, 14 million "amnestized" illegals, and WITHOUT a space-station Moon/colony Mars.
The Democrats HAVE no center: Kerry will lean left and will self-destruct, and Clark, the Clintooons' choice, is absolutely stark raving mad!
Repeat: your conclusions are delusions.
Trying to reason with the Faithful has its downsides. One of which is having to deal with posts like this.
Of course Bush's base was happy without the extra programs. But campaigns are all about Base Plus, not just the Base. The Rockford Institute Crowd will never be satisfied until Indentured Servitude is reinstated. The Ultras are not where the action is. If the Ultras were where the action was, Pat Buchanan would be President.
You are incorrect to assert, without supporting evidence I might add, that the Democrats have no center. They do. It is on the Left. Successful Democratic campaigns hold the base and move to the center. Successful Republican campaings do the same thing. I see no evidence that Kerry will "self-destruct". If he leans left, it might be enough to get him past Dean to Boston. Clark may be off his meds, but he is no less irresponsible than any of the other Dems.
Please provide supporting evidence for your assertions before accusing me of delusional behavior. Otherwise, I shall have to send you into a room alone....with the Batboy.
Be Seeing You,
