oops, looks like you beat me.

[concerned about politics]

Democrats will vote for the candidate who promises to steal the most for them. It's not about the economy, it's all about free handouts.

This "democRat" is ready for anything..

You know they live a boring, useless life when something Kerry says intrigues them.

"Health care was the No. 2 issue"
"Woe to him that increases himself with that which is not his."

That's what delegates to the Democratic National Convention say their presumed presidential nominee or — they shudder to think — President Bush

Oh, thank you for not being biased, AP. [/bile-rising sarcasm]

[NormsRevenge]

The delegates may say economy is #1 but do they realize who they have crawled in bed with?

I beg to differ. The first priority of the Dems is to get elected (i.e. power for its own sake). They will say and do anything to achieve that end. Once elected they will say and do anything to consolidate the acquired power and keep getting re-elected. I have many complaints about the Pubbies, but I believe that at least they still have some principles.

Dems play the race card, trot out the canard of evil Republicans taking away seniors' social security, portray the Pubbies as the party of the rich (laughable coming from John Heinz Kerry) and as warmongers. Fortunately I think the base they appeal to is shrinking to the young gullible and naive, those blinded by equality issues (race and identity warriors), the abortion absolutists, and the willfully corrupt.

Priorities of the Democrats are:

#1 The Economy #2 Getting France to Like Us #3 Free Heatlh Care

That would have been cute in the pre 9-11 world.

The media should ask Clueless Kerry if he is even aware that we are at war.

So far, the "lovers of peace and tolerance " have already started rioting to get a group of skin heads out of town, and also a man who brought a pro-life/pro-marriage sign - who was doing nothing but sitting on his knees and praying. They swarmed the poor guy and threatened his life if he did not leave the area.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

I absolutely agree. The DemonRATS campaign strategy, as always, will come down to FREE STUFF. The FREE STUFF never shows up, of course, but the constitutional moochers who make up their power base never get tired of hearing it. Fortunately for us, vast numbers of the FREE STUFF crowd are too lazy to get off the couch and get themselves to the polls.

[Belisaurius]

17% cited the war on terror as the number one prority?

17 fricken percent?

You're f%#%^&* s^%%$$ me, right?

17%. Unbelievable

Those who spend too much time in the past are unaware of the present.

"Those who spend too much time in the past are unaware of the present."

Thats why Kerry wants to ramble on about Vietnam - he's done nothing of consequence in 35 years that followed.
