The problem, here is that Boortz, as he so often is, is right on target. If Kerry manages to squeak into the WH in Nov., the Republic of the United States of America is truly doomed.
And, Boortz spelled it out so thoroughly, that even Democrats and government school graduates should be able to "get it".
DOOMED! < /FedEx >
No. That's a bit over the top. We may be in more serious trouble with a F'n presidency, but it's just another big pile of work to be done, more mess to be cleaned up. We are Americans after all. We are cleaning up after Clinton....
But the problem is not so much Kerry but the voting half of the republic who would put him in office. The Dems might win despite the fact that they've nominated the most liberal senator in congress. That means that many Americans are either too ignorant or too leftist. If things were right with this country, Kerry should never have been nominated much stand a chance of being elected. In a country where most adults realized the consequences of liberals being in office, Bush should win in the biggest landslide in history. And it's not like he hasn't had some real accomplishments in his four years. He's toppled two terrorist countries and revived the economy. Maybe those people who are arguing for two separate Americas were correct. The libs could live in the Leftist States of America while we could have the other half.
I don't believe a Kerry presidency will doom the Republic. I despise Kerry-called his fellow soldiers baby killers in order to advance his political career. He is despicable man...no doubt. I am a Bush supporter all the way. However, we survived Carter and Clinton ( four years for Carter and two years for Clinton with an all Dem congresses in place), we can survive this turkey. In the horrifying event that flip flop is elected, we must fight his marxist policies tooth and nail as Gingrich fought Clinton in 1996. Even Bob Dole fought against Clinton-Mr. Compromise himself.
We must make sure that Kerry doesn't get to nominate super radical judges to the bench (the Demons have denied Bush's judges and set an ugly precedent which Republicans can and should follow). When the next election comes, we must deny Kerry a second term. Our Republic has withstood worse than Kerry. We will continue-no matter what. Of course, it would be a miserable, tough four years-no doubt about that. I fear Americans would die..because of terrorism. An appeaser in the White House is a green light to terrorism.
However, this country has survived war with Britain (twice) in its's infancy, a devastating civil war,Spanish American war,the Kaiser, Roosevelt (marxist-elected for three terms), the great depression, Nazism, Communism, Truman's pro-communist reign, the 60's radicals (remember the bomb planted at Macy's in New York at Christmas..)and of course 9-11. We are tough. We will survive Kerry if we must...However, I don't believe Kerry will win the election.
I think it depends.
If Kerry gets elected, I think he loses the press almost immediately. It will unify republicans, and if he is really serious about his 'soft on sovereignty' thing, he's going to lose his party.
The objective of Democrats isn't to get Kerry elected, it's to beat Bush. After that, if they want to hold power, they will likely have to throw guys like Moore off the wagon and govern to the right.
The center isn't going to cut it anymore. There will have to be another tax cut - a tax increase, no matter how it is dressed, will be out.
Kerry is also inheriting a good economy. Were it to fail in the first couple of years, R's would have both houses of Congress locked up to the nines.
Not in a million years would I vote for Kerry. If he wins, however, I don't think we are doomed.
I think he will do a Carter and lose the presidency for good, in landslide proportions for another 12 years.
As a side benefit, Hillary would be out, likely for good. Kerry would have to do Johnson and declare he wasn't running in 08.
No, there are worse things.
I think the Judiciary of the US would be in trouble. That I do believe.
