Kerry Nation?

You're asking for the impossible! LOL

[nopardons]

You obviously don't understand the president, just like the RATS.

[dts32041]

Not saying he won't just saying he is going to have a fight on his hands, if the base is not solidified.

Those 25 dollar donations he needs may all of a sudden dry up.

Occasionally you have to pander to your base, not to the other side.

I know if kerry is the rat nominee I will have to think very seriously about voting for the current occupant of the white house, I know that doesn't make you happy, but that is where it is at.

[EGPWS]

You're asking for the impossible! LOL

Perhaps, but it would make for a much more efficient use of bandwidth and hence, make Jim R. a happier man!

[dts32041]

Your right, I don't understand the current occupant of the white house, at least with the toon I knew he was in it for himself and whatever he could get away with.

I really do want to like this guy, but he drives people crazy with some of the things he has done.

Then his advisers wonder why the base has not solidified.

[nopardons]

It would make most of the rest of us happy to; however,have you ever tried to squeeze blood out of a stone? :-(

[Salvation]

**I cite the bear in the woods ad as an example of how President Bush's reelection campaign can go after his likely Democratic rival, John Kerry.**

BTTT!

[EGPWS]

Not saying he won't just saying he is going to have a fight on his hands, if the base is not solidified.

However the base IS solid.

Those 25 dollar donations he needs may all of a sudden dry up.

Dubya already has more campaign fund than the whole of his opposition could only dream of having.

Occasionally you have to pander to your base, not to the other side.

Maybe so, however doing what is right takes precedence ALWAYS! And Dubya' knows this.

I know if kerry is the rat nominee I will have to think very seriously about voting for the current occupant of the white house, I know that doesn't make you happy, but that is where it is at.

Well, frustration can lead to disappointing consequences however, I'm sure that you will be happy with your vote in the long run.

[nopardons]

His base IS solidified! It's just the UNAPPEASABLES who aren't behind him. Did you listen to him, carefully, when he ran the first times? Did you read the threads here, where is words started many a thread? He hasn't veered away from anything he said he planned to do.

No president is going to give his base EVERYTNING they want.This president " drives ( some ) people crazy ", because most of them didn't support him anyway. Did you get some of things you want from him, in the past three years? Would you prefer Kerry or Edwards as president ?

There are two major political parties, Don't give me that junk..." the lesser of two evils "...either a Dem or a GOPer will be elected president in November. Forget about being unhappy with some of what he's done and/or said;your choice is having President Bush reelected or having a Dem elected. That's it!

[EGPWS]

It would make most of the rest of us happy to; however,have you ever tried to squeeze blood out of a stone? :-(

NO, for my pragmatic mind would lead me to scrutinize the stone and come to realize that the stone can not produce blood hence, I would save myself the trouble of attempting the impossible. ; )

[nopardons]

Exactly so. Now extrapolate on the stone situation and that which you wished for to occur here.

[Fledermaus]

Democrats would want a huge government program to first study the stone and then get the blood from it regardless of the possibility. And any Republican that complained about the money would be denounced as "not caring for people that could benefit from the blood from the stone!"

Kerry is on the wrong side of gay marriage/civil unions and POTUS owns the right side.

[EGPWS]

Democrats would want a huge government program to first study the stone and then get the blood from it regardless of the possibility. And any Republican that complained about the money would be denounced as "not caring for people that could benefit from the blood from the stone!"

You left out the money invested to follow the "theory" that blood could be found in the stone, and the money needed to promote easing the fears of the public from the idea that the stone may not produce blood and the theoretical consequence's that may be bestowed upon the public until it is proved whether or not the stone can produce blood.

[Fledermaus]

You left out that when a Republican became president, they'll then want an independent investigation into the intelligence that led up to the belief there was blood in the stone!

Now I know why I am not a politician! : (

[dts32041]

Yeah right, and there is a bit of jersey swamp land I want to tell you.

Everybody is thinking this is a cake walk, ain't going to happen that way.

Of Course, there are nine months to the election and a heck of a lot can happen from now and until the time I punch the vote card.

[Don'tMessWithTexas]

Thank you Fred for a dose of common sense. History teaches us that campaigns ebb and flow in cycles. Attack and couterattack. You do not judge the ultimate outcome of a battle by the first volley of gunfire. Stay low in the tall grass. Absorb the first volley. Get up close and give 'em hell.

Hand wringing and whining are useless and lead to panic-filled spazz attacks. It results in defeat and shame. Take courage freepers. The ferocity of their ludicrous claims only masks their own emptiness and fear and defeat. They have nothing to offer this country.

Courage. Courage. Courage.

Adios

Been There - Done That. I remember being fed up with George Bush Senior. The only way I thought to teach the Republican Party a lesson was to vote third party. I did for Perot. What could it hurt? Maybe the Republican Party Hacks would get a hint. So what happens, we end up with eight years of a communist traitor, no morales, no ethics, self centered egotist for President. In eight years, we had Twin Towers bombed, Oklahoma City bombed, two embassies bombed, TWA 800 shot down, Waco massacres, higher taxes, USS Cole attack and numerous other gut retching episodes. We now have an enemy that wants us destroyed. They have no problem with killing innocent men, women and children. The only way to stop this enemy is thru deadly force. I can not stand by and allow another innocent human sacrifice to these murderous heathens. We are at war right now and I would prefer to have President Bush at the helm than any other. We saw what "grab your ankles" politians can do us. My grandchildren and children deserve better. I may not be happy with some of the things that President Bush is backing but my family is safer because of him. So in short, it doesn't taken a rocket scientist to figure it out. I will vote for Bush and I pray that those who are hesitating, to take a step back and rethink what is truly important to you and your love ones.
I for one am not ready to turn over my grandchildren's, children and my freedom to the United Nations or any Terrorist groups. 9/11 taught me an important lesson. It is essential to elect someone who is going to protect our Country. This is something the Democrats can not and will not do. I can still imagine what those people still alive in those towers were feeling when there was no escape.....
Sorry, but Americans and their children and their children's children deserve better than that.
