Kerry Nation?

The Weekly Standard ^ | February 23, 2004 | Fred Barnes

[Paul Atreides]

We're only in February, for Pete's sake. Any man, who wouldn't let RoboFop steal the presidency, isn't going to just idly sit by and let Kerry the Talking Ass have it on a silver platter.

1984's USA was 20 years of wide-open immigration and media-driven cultural Marxism ago. It exists no more.

"[W]hy are Republicans and conservatives despairing over Bush's chances of defeating him? The answer is they've succumbed to panic."

Who is despairing? Who is panicking? Maybe Freddie the Beetle is, but I for one am not. I think the Bushies may be panicking, their ridiculous over-response to the National Guard thing is disturbing. We should have gotten 1/2 that response to our reaction to their 1/2 baked "guest worker (whatever!)" plan.

You cannot be a conservative and in a thrall to the mainstream media. You've got to wake up every morning, with a smile on your face and tell the world, if the Times says I'm wrong, then I'm RIGHT. (apologies to Carol King)

I'm not worried. I'm going to help sign up voters and I'm going to ask the City Secretary to put me back on the list of poll watchers. That's all we have to do. If every Freeper took one postive ACTION, all this Dim rhetoric won't even be remembered in Jan.'05.

"But if Kerry is a target-rich environment, why are Republicans and conservatives despairing over Bush's chances of defeating him?"

Because it has slowly dawned on them that the current occupant of the white house is not a conservative, and they have to expend effort on solidifying the base.

They really shouldn't have to do that but the conservatives have been assaulted with the drip drip of their issues being sold out to the highest bidder, and they are all of a sudden unsure of whether there is any reason to support this man in war if they are being sold out domestically?

[Rokke]

That's a good article, and fortunately it is not news to the Bush team or the RNC. I don't sense panic coming from either. Bush is at his best when he has been dismissed as defeated. Kerry's support is a mile wide and an inch deep, and when it is time to respond to this current barrage of pin pricks, he won't last long.

[lilylangtree]

Kerry's a weenie and it's February. Don't count W out yet.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Don't count W out yet.

Don't count W out yet period.

Though I know we must fight a good fight, I have every reason to believe that I will be watching George Bush inaugurated next January 20th.

[AmericanVictory]

there's a camel with its nose under the tent?

[thoughtomator]

I got it! Kerry is Bob Dole!

[jmstein7]

Leave it to Fred to bring us all back to sanity.

Life's a b!tch then you die.

There must be a utopia somewhere in this world for the malcontents to reside in bliss.

Certainly the USA is far from some peoples definition of utopia, and it is very curious to me as to why their quest for utopia doesn't lead them to a location outside of our borders.

[dts32041]

Who said they are Mal contents, maybe they are people who believed in a man, then found out they were sold a pig in a poke.

I remember hearing on this board up until the day of the 2000 election the now current occupant of the white house was a conservative (albeit a compassionate one), so what does he turn out to be a free spender, who believes in bigger government.

Just saying that the campaign staff has realized that the conservative base has been pretty much ignored, and that base needs to be shored up.

BTW vetoing the highway spending bill isn't going to shore up the base.

If I was looking for Utopia, I would name the place I live Utopia and be done with it.

[nopardons]

None of us, least of the malcontented UNAPPEASA BLES, could live in their delusional idea of UTOPIA!

Suddenly, a whole bunch of once quite dormant old timers are crawling out of the woodwork, just to Bushbash. They should all just go back to their slumbers/hidey-holes!

[EGPWS]

so what does he turn out to be a free spender, who believes in bigger government.

That being the case, then why is he doing such a fabulous job of destroying the Democratic party base when their Dogma is based on spending?

Or at least convey a workable alternative that is worth pondering.

This is my favorite post of the day, by far!

[dts32041]

Is he, seems to me the rat base is solidifying in their hatred of the current occupant of the white house.

The demo rats don't care what he does, cause he stoled the election, and had an opportunity handed to him to become a greater president than their idol the toon.

So they will keep attacking no matter what he does, and he will still try and be a compassionate conservative to then.

And then come November, Dubya' will win in a landslide.

Don't think so?

Bookmark this thread and give me a dose of "mud in the face" for my prediction when he loses.
