"They" are going to destroy President Bush. This election wil make 2000 look like a picnic. I hate to say this, but it is my gut feeling. They are going to slaughter him over the war, "intellegence failures" and the deficit. I don't think Bush will be our president this time next year. :-(

And you think W is just going to sit there and take it?

The election hasn't even started yet. We have over $150 million ready to go. Just waiting on the right time.

HAHAHAHAHA .. Yea right

Have you seen Kerry's voting record lately???

And then there that whole Church Committee recommendation that gutted our intelligence

The Rat will lose this argument big time

[Pukin Dog]

Oh please shut up with that negativity.

You have no idea the way that Bush is going to blast the Democrats when the time is right. There is no need to say a word until we know who their nominee is. John Kerry has enough baggage to gag a maggot.

When Bush turns his people lose on Kerry, the man will wish he had a place to hide.

Then, think again.

Don't get sucked in by the media.

Kerry won't have a third of the money Bush will when the campaign gets into full swing.

JFK will look like Michael Dukakis in October.

"They" have misunderestimated W ever since "they" began trying. Ask Ann Richards.

Strategery trumps "they" every time.

Viva Bush/Cheney!

I hate to say it too, and two months ago, I was loudly proclaiming, 'landslide, landslide', but I agree w/you. I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that the Kay report was the coup de grace.

One thing I'm hoping for though, is that I'm as wrong on this as I have been on other things in my life.

[SBprone]

I sympathize.

But if your gut is telling you that Bush will get slaughtered for what he's done as President, then you need to stop listening to your gut. It's lying to you.

Intuition works for some people but not for everybody.

"They" are going to destroy President Bush.

"They" are not going to destroy him. If he doesn't win it will be because of 'doomsday' people like you who stay home, or 'true conservatives' who vote for a candidate that cannot win.

I agree it looks like they're going to go viciously after Bush's strongest selling-point, National Security. And I believe too, that if the Rats succeed in knocking that down to the point where it's not a factor, they will win. They're the ones with the growing demographic base (non-whites) today, and they're the ones who (counting Nader) took 51 percent last time round.

Also it will be harder for the GOP to paint Kerry as the Dukakis that he is, because of Kerry's Vietnam record, and because he doesn't look as wimpy as Miracle Mike.

That said, there's a lot the GOP can and will do to defend and drive home Bush's strongest selling point between now and then, and to define Kerry, despite his war resume, as someone who'd offer less security to Americans.

Some of the possible Bush 04 ads nearly write themselves. They could just do Willie Horton '88 over with captured al Qaeda terrorists in place of WH. (actually with Lt Gov. Kerry they could just do the actual Horton ads, but that's a different story)

(cue somber music) "This is top Al Qaeda terrorist and 9-11 conspirator Khalid Shaikh Mohammed:"

"President Bush led a successful and difficult effort to capture him. But he had to do it despite the efforts of liberals like John Kerry, who, over the years, made the following 245 votes in the Senate (scroll votes over bad photo of JK) to weaken our ability to protect the country and catch terrorists. There are more Shaikh Mohammeds out there. Who do you trust to catch them? "(Fade to "Bush/Cheney 2004".)

If I ran the Republican party it would field Presidential candidates who were Bullet proof to Vietnam Draft Dodging charges. If I couldn't find a candidate who had shown the guts to serve I would run a woman. But that's just me.
