The fact is, the war has already been won. It may be a complete surprise to the Democrat media and all of the leftists that were praying for disaster (does the left actually pray?) but we are victorious in Iraq. Iraq has been liberated. The brutal dictator is awaiting trial. His army and his party have been completely destroyed. The people are free and are about to install a democratic government.
All of America, in fact all of the world should be cheering. France, Germany, Russia, the UN, et al, are scumbags and the full brunt of that scandal has not yet hit the news.
And despite the liberal media's attempts to torpedo the economy, it's not happening. Thanks to Bush's tax cuts and the Fed's interest rate cuts, the economy is on an upswing and could be booming before the elections.
Bush will be fine. The Republicans will continue building their majority in both houses of Congress and in state and local governments as well, including in California!
Liberalism is a complete failure. Kerry/Kennedy/Clinton and their asinine anti-American Democrat Party are going down in flames.
Go Bush!!
Yes Jim, to the devil.
From your lips to God's ears, Jim!
This is true. But aren't they going to go to bigger hammers for the pounding as the election nears? It's not as if they have emptied their guns. Each time I think that is it, they come up with something else. Frankly, I suspect the rats have one false scandal after another lined up til the election. Every time one of them fades, they trot out another and the media duly runs it as long as they can as the top story on the evening news.
Bush is going to have to pull a labor day miracle to slough off that pounding and right the campaign. Not saying he cannot do that. But as my brother points out whenever I complain about the media, that's the way it is and Republicans have to win despite the partisanship in the media. This year, the media is clearly going all-out, dropping any pretense of objectivity, to defeat George Bush. It is going to be a much bigger factor this year than normally. I usually figure the media is worth -5% for every republican in the country. This year that number is more like -10%. So we are all going to have to work harder because we have to win despite that.
I would sure like to see a better campaign being conducted. We have to be at least even steven on election day. Because, unless it's close on election day, the troops aren't gonna turn out. At this point, I'm not seeing a campaign that is likely to end up there.
As to the Left/Dems going down in flames, I hope you are right. Part of me believes you may be right this year, but over the long run I can not see a bright future for the conservatives/GOP due to demographic changes. The simple fact is that unending mass legal and illegal immigration favors the Democrats, but despite most Americans wanting immigration reduced the GOP refuses to give voice to that, despite it being a potentially huge short-term vote winner, despite it being good for the country, and despite the fact that to reduce the influx would significantly slow and alter the demographic shift taking place, which would in turn give the GOP a reasonable chance to compete in the future w/o becoming a Democrat-lite party.
