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 have survived all those things and more - but 9/11 aside, those were different times and a different population. With the liberal press leading the way, too many Americans are willing to compromise freedom, liberty, all of those things we once held dear to appease criminal terrorists. The press is dcrying the victories we have had in Iraq and Afghanistan as failures and counting the war dead as though those deaths were in the thousands versus the hundreds. IOW, we are NOT the same America that served so honorably to defeat communism and nazism in WWII.

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).

You're not serious. Republican politicians have a long history of NEVER duplicating Democrat obstructionist policies. IF Kerry should be elected (God forbid!), he will have free reign to appoint scores of judges to the bench and Republicans will perform their duty and confirm them - more liberal activist judges on the bench perverting the American judicial system. Look at the makeup of the current Republican leadership. Where is Newt Gingrich? Where is Bob Dole? Where is any Republican with the fortitude to stand up to the likes of Daschle, Pelosi, Kennedy, etc., etc.? We have no junkyard dogs on our team and there won't be a repeat of the 1994 revolution. Do you think Frist is up to the task? Hastert? Anyone? If Ahnold were eligible to run he's about the only Republican capableof taking on the Democrats and making a battle out of it.

I'd love to be as optimistic as you that we could survive a Kerry presidency, but I'm very pessimistic about the possibility. If we assume the worst case, that he serves for 8 years, appeasing, taxing, spending us out of existence, nothing short of a second civil war to permanently divide the US into two different nations, one comprised of conservatives and one comprised of liberals may leave any vestige of our once great Republic to posterity.

We can and must survive. If the Democrats win;it is the will of the electorate. Sometimes voters goof as in electing Carter and Clinton. We have had many peaceful transfer of power, and I expect many more.

Republicans can and have risen to the occasion. Think about Bob Dole-hardly a junkyard do-but he did fight Clinton successfully. He rose to the circumstances and did a splendid job of opposing Hillary health care and increased taxes (not one Republican voted for Clinton's tax increases-not even a Rino).

I do not believe, we will need a civil war...in order to repair damage done by Kerry. Nope, another election or two or three will suffice. Be of good cheer; I don't think Kerry will win.

Have you considered radical Dems feel as you do about President Bush? We must accept the next President-Bush or Kerry and support him in areas we can. The demonization of political opponents into monsters needs to stop-this threatens our republic far more than one man.
