I agree, it is disheartening that an anti-American like Kerry, who has been on the wrong side of every issue his whole life, could get the Dimorat nomination, but you have to remember, all he did was get the largest plurality of the votes of the minority party in America, until his competition was eliminated, and there was no one for Rats to vote for. Turnout was very low, as was enthusiasm, except among the true believing ex-hippies and the news media.
Muslims are still a small percentage of the voting public, and let's hope we keep it that way. I don't understand how Israelis can let Arabs vote in their elections; you have to get about 60 percent of the Israeli vote to win an election, because the Arab vote joins with Labor and hinders their antiterror efforts. I worry more about the hispanic vote; rather than pander to it on the idea that they are going to be 20 percent in a few decades, I'd rather kick out all the illegals and keep the hispanics to no more than 10 percent of the electorate. We can win that group over, or at least some of them, but not if another few million come over every year, and start voting a few years after that.
We have a small window of 5-10 years to set this country back on track, or else we will just be "Europe lite." For this year, though, I think we remain strong and united against terror and socialism.
