Will Bush defend America from those bent on destroying her? You'd better bet your sweet bippy he will.
Will any of the Democrats defend America? Hell no they won't. They'd rather turn us over to the U.N. They'd surrender to the French Foreign Legion if given the chance.

Will any other person be elected to the Presidency in 2004 other than Bush (God willing) or a Democrat? Obviously not.
Doesn't make a lick of sense to me to allow the America hating, freedom hating Democrats back into power now that we've kicked them out.
Say yes to sovereignty for America and continued freedom for all Americans.
Say no to the RATS!!
Needlessly.
And another round is on....
Hmmmmmm.
The bad part of it all is, it won't/hasn't mattered who is in the White House or who controls Congress/Senate. Incrementalism is and has been both parties majic bullet. The inevitable will happen. I hope I don't look back in 10 years and find this post to be correct.
Thank you for FREEREPUBLIC Jim, it's all some of us have to hold onto.
On what basis do you make that claim? It's oft-repeated, but it seems to me this administration is simply not that interested in promoting conservative domestic policy. Why would that change after 2004? Rather, I suspect the mantra will become "we need to win in 2008", thus folks will excuse continued liberal policy on the part of this administration.
Conservatives need to hold the administration accountable where they've failed, and praise good policy. The blanket condemnations and blanket praise I see on many threads here do nothing to promote conservative policy.
Reagan made the fatal mistake of choosing Bush Sr. as his VP and since then the RP, at least as far as prez nominees has been filled with establishment milquetoast big-government types. Give Dubya the green light a second time and you can bet the farm that the next prez nominee in line will be Jeb and yet another big-govt, free spending administration.
So what happens if we send Dubya packing? Well, we managed to live with the Clinton administration when it was checked by a Rep congress. Get in an inept socialist weenie who is soft on terrorism, and you practically roll out the red carpet for a Goldwater Republican to walk into the White House unopposed. Let Kerry get into the WH and bow to the UN, push for Kyoto, and do all the whacky new-world-order type things you think he'll do and the public will be clamoring for the polar opposite of the Dems. In the long run we are better off without Bush because despite the WOT dust he is kicking up, he is as much a socialist as any of the Dem candidates and the only hope for a non-socialist candidate out of the RP is to reject the current offering.
If the situation weren't so dangerous, it would be funny. Democracy is a good system for governing a reasonably homogeneous group of people with shared ideals and values; it is not a reasonable system for sharing power between two groups of people who hate eachother and/or do not trust eachother to play the game fairly.
Long term, there are only two reasonable solutions starting from now: either the country has to be split up, or the democrat party has to be so totally marginalized as to eliminate the threat it poses.
What Bush and Rove appear to be doing strikes me as correct, more or less. They are clearly trying to own the center, to have the republican party subsume every quasi-reasonable leftist tendency, and leave the democrats sitting there with nothing. I'm all for it IF a way can be found to let some third party, presumably the litertarians, break through and take over that number two spot. At present, that is pretty much illegal.
The one thing I can think of which would go the furthest in the right direction would be either a law or a constitutional ammendment requiring runoff elections.
