I actually don't think the HildaBeast wants to be associated with this loser campaign

True, but these are the factors that are fueling my prediction:

Rudy has said he will announce in November whether he'll seek to unseat (there's a liposuction joke there somewhere) she who's name I will not mention, but hints are strong he will. Speculation is also high if Rudy doesn't, Pataki will.

A wounded beast coming off losing it's seat (where's that liposuction joke?) in liberal NY is definitely unelectable.

Running now, with Breck Girl, she could drop her seat without losing face (losing the seat and the mug; has cosmetic surgery advanced enough to handle such a challenge?).

A loss as Breck Girl's #2, and she's still a viable candidate in '08. A strong butt kicking while riding on kommie Kerry's coattails, and she's finished.

Her hand (or cloven hoof, whatevever's on the end of her appendages) is forced. Kerry has to go.

Anyhow, if my theory is correct, look for some more hits coming on Kerry over the weekend from the 'RATs, similar to the intern thingy.

I have the opportunity to go to a 'Profiles In Courage' banquet/seminar this Saturday (Feb 28th) in Portland OR.

Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore and Sean Hannity are speaking! Now you might wonder..."Is the Republican Party hosting this event, to help show support for Roy Moore?"

Ahhh...nope. Sponsored by the Constitution Party.
$40.00 for dinner and lecture.

I'll fill you in next week.

"Sponsored by the Constitution Party."

As the GOP drifts to the Left, my willingness to listen to the message of the Constitution Party intensifies...Karl Rove likes to think the Conservative Right has nowhere to go if Dubyuh continues to ignore fiscal conservatism, but we've got a home in the Constitution Party, imho. Not that I'd vote in such a way as to allow John Kerry to become Commander-in-Chief, but it's good to know at least one Party is adhering to Constitutional principles. Now, how to convince enuff of the American electorate to make the Constitution Party viable?!

Hillary is responsible for Edwards running for the U.S. Senate in the first place.
This entire Dem nomination process just seems very strange this time around.
I cannot imagine the powers-that-be being comfortable with a Massachusetts liberal, with all his baggage, as their candidate to oppose Dubya.

Sine's on the 9th of March...be there or we'll talk about you behind yer back!!

"John Kerry's TimeWarp: Fer the DemonRAT Candidate, It's Always 1969!!", by Byron York.

"Why does Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.) talk incessantly about Vietnam? Obviously, it has given him a great political advantage in past campaigns and he hopes it will do the same in his race for the White House. But there might be another reason. Perhaps more than any other presidential candidate in recent memory, Kerry seems to be living in another time, playing a movie of Vietnam over and over in his mind. In fact, he is often playing an actual movie of Vietnam over and over on his television. Consider this scene from a remarkable profile of Kerry published in the Boston Globe in October 1996, when Kerry was in a tough reelection battle:

Kerry told reporter Charles Sennott the oft-repeated story of the February 1969 firefight in which Kerry attacked the Viet Cong who ambushed his Swift boat. Kerry won the Silver Star, as well as a Purple Heart, for his efforts. But the story wasn't just the firefight itself. It was also Kerry's reaction to it. The future senator was so "focused on his future ambitions," Sennott reported, that not long after the fight, he bought a Super-8 movie camera, returned to the scene, and reenacted the skirmish on film. During their interview, Kerry played the tape for Sennott. "I'll show you where they shot from. See? That's the hole covered up with reeds," Kerry said as he ran the tape in slow motion. Kerry told Sennott that his decision to reenact the fight on film was no big deal — "just something I did, no great meaning to it." But it's clear that the old movie is a huge deal. "Through hours of watching the films in the den of his newly renovated Beacon Hill mansion, it becomes apparent that these are memories and footage he returns to often," Sennott wrote.

"Kerry jumps repeatedly from the couch to adjust the Sony large screen TV in his home entertainment center, making sure the picture is clear, the color correct. He fast forwards, rewinds and freeze frames the footage. His running commentary — vivid, sometimes touching, sometimes self-serving — never misses a beat." In John Kerry's home-entertainment center, it's always 1969. It's sometimes that way in his campaign, too. Is Kerry's the only campaign to play Jimi Hendrix — specifically, "Fire" from the 1967 album Are You Experienced? — at rallies? Other candidates — like John Edwards, with his theme song, John Mellencamp's "Small Town" — aren't exactly cutting edge, but they have chosen somewhat newer stuff.

And what about the music on Kerry's bus? Before the Iowa caucuses, Washington Post reporter Ceci Connelly described the candidate hanging out on the bus with Peter Yarrow, his old friend from Peter, Paul, and Mary. "Pedro, sing us a song," Kerry ordered one day. Yarrow picked up a guitar and began to play and sing — and later waxed nostalgic about the antiwar rallies he attended way back when with Kerry and Eugene McCarthy. Earlier, Connelly wrote, when Yarrow sang "Puff the Magic Dragon" at an event in a private home in Ames, Iowa, "Kerry lifted his fingers to his mouth for a quick toke on an imaginary joint. You can almost see his thick mane of silver hair returning to the shaggy brown do of those days."

Even Kerry's latest soundbite, the speech in Ohio Tuesday in which he described President Bush as a "walking contradiction," was apparently a reference to the old days. In this case, it was Kris Kristofferson's "The Pilgrim, Chapter 33, " from 1970, with its line, "He's a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction." This man is living in a time warp. No wonder Kerry sees any conflict — Gulf War I, Afghanistan, Gulf War II — as a potential Vietnam. In Kerry's world, Vietnam is running on a continuous loop on that big screen TV — with Jimi, Kris, and Peter, Paul, and Mary singing in the background.

Some people become stuck in the time period in which they had their most intense experiences. Others, perhaps with more mental or emotional flexibility, move on. Kerry seems to be one of the former. At 60 years old, he appears obsessed with the past in ways that the 57 year-old George W. Bush isn't. And Kerry seems far older than, say, the 71 year-old Donald Rumsfeld — a man who is always moving ahead, not inclined to lecture about the way things were 30 or 40 years ago. Kerry's penchant for looking back would not be a good trait in a president who will have to deal with a distinctly 21st century, post-9/11 world. America faces threats that were unheard of in Kerry's formative years. While those threats build, Kerry is turning on Hendrix, toking on an imaginary joint, and telling you about Vietnam.

And just imagine the inauguration. The new president delivers his speech, waves to the crowd, and cries..."Pedro, sing us a song!"

RETIRE D'A$$#OLE in '04!!

"Puff, the Angry D'A$$hole!!"
(To be sung to Peter, Paul and Mary's "Puff, the Magic Dragon")

'Cuz Tom pulled strings fer big airlines who'd hired Missuz Puff!! Bold!!

Puff, the would-be Prez'dent, loved Tyranny...
He protected his friend Willie Slick, in a Trial fer Perjury!!
South Dakota voters said, "Oh, whatta SLEAZE!!"
And conspired to next autumn rid their State of Tommie's disease!!

Tom D'A$$hole, he would grovel fer Dem votes a cryin' shame...
Tommie preyed on weakness..."Fear" was Puffboy's middle name!!
Union thugs and bigots would bow whene'er Puff came,
Lib'ral whips bent o'er and begged fer Puff's pork, oh so lame. Woah!

Puff, RAT's Lib'ral Leader, loathed liberty...
Big Guv'ment was his Power trip and he'd tax all he could see!!
Puff held judges hostage, shameful was he...
He ruled from his Senate seat 'til he pissed off Hillary!!

The Senate loves its Power, but weakness leaves a void...
HildaBeast and her man Slick returned...Left's overjoyed!!
In '04, it happened, Johnnie Thune, he whupped li'l Puff!!

"Dubyanomics: The Numbers Are Good, America...and Fer Bush!!"

"What do the numbers say about those tax cuts that are either irresponsibly large or laughably small, depending on which Democrat is attacking them? Personal tax payments have declined 19 percent since 2001, and disposable income has thus increased 11 percent. In 2004, U.S. households are expected to receive $300 billion more in income-tax refunds than in 2003 (yes, the budget deficit has gone up, but it is economically inconsequential, and Democrats don't have any serious plans for reducing it anyway). The numbers provide some perspective on Bush's biggest political liability: lagging job growth. Since reaching a high of 6.3 percent in June 2003, the unemployment rate has dipped to 5.6 percent, lower than the average unemployment rate of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

The numbers even like George Bush more than Bill Clinton. According to J. Edward Carter's calculation, during the first three years of the Bush administration compared with the first three years of the Clinton administration, the inflation rate is lower (1.9 percent versus 2.6 percent), the unemployment rate is lower (5.5 percent versus 6.2 percent), annual productivity growth is higher (4.1 percent versus .5 percent), and the increase in nonfarm real compensation per hour is higher (+0.8 percent versus -0.3 percent).

Bush should introduce the American public to these numbers. They are among the best friends he has."

"Setting Straight Kerry's War Record!!" (Adm. Zumwalt's Account)

"[T]he fabled and distinguished chief of naval operations,Admiral Elmo Zumwalt,told me — 30 years ago when he was still CNO —that during his own command of U.S. naval forces in Vietnam,just prior to his anointment as CNO, young Kerry had created great problems for him and the other top brass, by killing so many non-combatant civilians and going after other non-military targets.‘We had virtually to straitjacket him to keep him under control,’ the admiral said. ‘Bud’ Zumwalt got it right when he assessed Kerry as having large ambitions — but promised that his career in Vietnam would haunt him if he were ever on the national stage.” And this statement was made despite the fact Zumwalt had personally pinned a Silver Star on Mr. Kerry. Mr. Kerry was assigned to Swiftboat 44 on December 1, 1968. Within 24 hours, he had his first Purple Heart. Mr. Kerry accumulated three Purple Hearts in four months with not even a day of duty lost from wounds, according to his training officer. It’s a pity one cannot read his Purple Heart medical treatment reports which have been withheld from the public. The only person preventing their release is Mr. Kerry. By his own admission during those four months, Mr. Kerry continually kept ramming his Swiftboat onto an enemy-held shore on assorted occasions alone and with a few men, killing civilians and even a wounded enemy soldier. One can begin to appreciate Zumwalt’s problem with Mr. Kerry as commander of an unarmored craft dependent upon speed of maneuver to keep it and its crew from being shot to pieces. Mr. Kerry now refers to those civilian deaths as “accidents of war.”And within four days of his third Purple Heart, Mr. Kerry applied to take advantage of a technicality which allowed him to request immediate transfer to a stateside post."

"Hanoi John Kerry Rated Most Lib'ral Senator, Based on Voting Record!!"

"NATIONAL JOURNAL on Friday claimed Democrat frontrunner John Kerry has the "most liberal" voting record in the Senate. The results of Senate vote ratings show that Kerry was the most liberal senator in 2003, with a composite liberal score of 96.5 -- far ahead of such Democrat stalwarts as Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. NATIONAL JOURNAL's scores, which have been compiled each year since 1981, are based on lawmakers' votes in three areas: economic policy, social policy, and foreign policy. "To be sure, Kerry's ranking as the No. 1 Senate liberal in 2003 -- and his earning of similar honors three times during his first term, from 1985 to 1990 -- will probably have opposition researchers licking their chops," NATIONAL JOURNAL reports."

I'll be there, too! Just so you all can't talk about me! I can talk about me just fine...I did a Nancy Reagan (or should I say a Chevy Chase)in the Senate Gallery yesterday. As I made my grand entrance into the Gallery I was waving at some friends and went down hard, popped up and took my seat like nothing happened. I am so glad my kids weren't there. They think I'm hilarious and this would have given them more ammo.

Are we meeting at noon? See ya!

"Their reaction to the President’s handling of these issues should be a warning sign for the President. Conservatives are calling my show and telling me that they are not going to vote for George Bush because of his stand on amnesty or outsourcing, for example. And this simply amazes me. I ask them if they aren’t going to vote to re-elect George Bush are they going to vote for the Democrat? And the answer is inevitably, "NO! I’m not going to vote for anybody. I’m going to stay home on Election Day."

I can tell from the majority posts on this thread that it's fashionable to castigate such a position; however, eight months from the election, I would argue that this is a very respectable stance for conservative Republicans to take. Dubyuh's spending IS outta control and needs to be reined in...do we really believe he'll do it if all the pressure comes from those who are urging him to adopt the DemonRATS' big-spending proclivities? Heck no, Rove's already on record as saying conservatives have nowhere to go, all but saying "Screw us and all we hold dear!!" Threatening to sit out in November or vote Constitution Party will hopefully give Bush the political backbone to get spending under control, and he's already begun talking about cutting or eliminating 128 Federal programs and curtailing Discretionary Domestic spending to 1%. If he follows thru on this, I'll venture a lot of the disgruntled conservatives will return to the fold.

A similar issue is Dubyuh's proposed Non-amnesty Amnesty fer Illegals...I believe it is a principled conservative's duty to argue against such misguided policy!! Threatening to sit out--or vote third party--in November is a very respectable position, IMHO. And while I totally respect the BushOrBusters who dominate FReeperdom these days, I must admit that I grow tired with those who relentlessly criticize folks who are Conservatives first, and Republicans second. A more productive response--once again, IMHO--would be to help Dubyuh by getting to the crux of alienated Bush supporter's problems with Dubyuh and attempt overcome their hesitance to support Dubyuh again. Name-calling and derision simply solidifies their resolve to sit out what promises to be a very important election next November.

Thanks. I think if you look at my posts there, I have been pretty restrained.

I am certainly hoping for a Bush victory this year, and I hope a LOT of folks here on FR join me in voting for him. I am voting straight ticket GOP, btw.

There is only one good Democrat - one that has been voted OUT OF POWER.

If Kerry is elected ?? Well, I can't see any Conservative agendas coming out of THAT White House.

I don't have a problem with folks debating questionable actions or policies. If you notice, I don't go on the Immigration threads very often. When I do, I usually just bump the threads. My comments are quite reserved on those threads.

I would like to see less spending, I sent e-mails to Dubya and Cheney urging Bush to NOT sign CFR. (Hmm? Seems like there's something else, but can't think of it).

Just my 2 cents ...

"I think staying home on election day is the cowards way out."

That may be true...I personally have voted in every Presidential election since I've been eligible, and will no doubt vote this coming November as well. That said, I am seriously considering voting for the Constitution Party candidate, but would like nothing more than to see Dubyuh to put more emphasis on the "Conservative" portion of his "Compassionate Conservativism" so I can proudly vote fer him.

"And for anyone who thinks 'sitting this one out' will send a message to Rove, Bush, etc., think again. Do you honestly believe that?"

The message is already being sent, my FRiend...by registering its willingness to stay home or vote 3rd Party, the Principled Conservative Wing of the Republican Party is letting Dubyuh and his advisors know that we will not support DemonRAT-Lite when it comes to fiscal conservatism (or Illegal Immigration, depending on the voter). I believe this is an important message for President Bush to hear, and it would do Dubyuh--and the Country--good to adjust his policy priorities accordingly.

"Look back at history. Hell, look back at the past 12 years. Has Bush managed to undo everything Clinton has done? No. Did Reagan undo everything Carter did? No. For every two steps forward a liberal takes, it takes a Republican at least one step backward to undo what has been done, quite often at the expense of conservatism."

I'm not here to bash Bush, but this Administration has allowed Domestic Discretionary Spending to grow at 8% per year (compared to Clinton's 3% per year). I'm gullible enough to accept that much of this spending binge is a result of Homeland Security and a staggering economy, but it can be argued that Bush isn't even trying to undo what Clinton did.

"So go ahead, sit this one out."

Like I said, my FRiend, I don't sit out elections.

"You might as well sit every one out from this point on, because if Kerry is elected, you will NEVER see the kind of conservatism again that you see today in Bush today."

I disagree...I honestly believe Bush's brand of cultural conservatism is a winning hand in today's America. If a charismatic leader will partner that with a heartfelt belief oand pursuit of fiscal conservatism, I believe the combination would be unbeatable!!

"Kerry would put our country on the fast road to hell. Now you might be saying, 'well Bush has us on the slow road to socialism. If we're going down that road, I'd rather do it and get it over with.' Well you know what? I'd rather take my chances trying to stop a slow moving train than trying to stop a train in the express lane."

Admittedly, the last thing I want to do is anything that will result in making Kerry the Commander-in-Chief halfway thru the War on Terrorism. That said, as a Virginian whose State has carried the GOP banner in every presidential election since 1964, I have some flexibility in supporting a 3rd Party candidate.

"PS: For anyone who thinks that any politician, regardless of party, will do or say everything they want, get back to the real world."

Of course I don't expect Dubyuh to be perfect...not even my favorite POTUS ever--Reagan--did everything exactly as I would. Still, a sincere commitment to a Constitutionally-limited Federal Guv'ment is a core issue with me and many others. Even Dubyuh professes to be for limited government...now all we need is for him to follow up his words with the appropriate actions. I refuse to believe that is too much of a fantasy to entertain.
