Tightrope-time for JF'nK

These people have very few redeeming characteristics.

Unfortunately, I disagree with the assumptions behind Novak's column and the Dems' planning for the convention: I don't think it matters a hill of beans what they say, or don't say, about Bush. I don't have any evidence that any convention in recent times has in any way shaped the election or increased/decreased a nominee's vote totals. I don't think Pat Buchanan hurt the GOP in 1992, and I don't think Michael Moore could hurt the Dems this year. People simply ignore these conventions.

The news just had a clip of Kerry saying the "very first piece of legislation" he would enact after being inaugurated will be UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. IAW, Hillary-care. We need to shout that from the rooftops.

The fact that the mentally-imbalanced Cleland was ever elected to the Senate is troubling.

That he did it by misrepresenting his military record, while running in the South no less, is even more disturbing.

What is about Bush that they hate?

They compare it to us "Clinton haters." But we "hated" Clinton because we couldn't believe someone with so little integrity could be elected, and I, personally, was appalled that anyone would subordinate our military to a draft dodger who hates the military.

But what, exactly, about Bush inspires so much loathing?

[uncbob]

Yep

Dems mute all the Bush bashing

and

At the GOP convention the Cristian Conservatives and NRA types will be hidden and out of sight

If we do that, we end up with 42 percent of the vote and lose the election."

More like 30%.

"What the Kerry team does not need is a high profile here by Moore."

Gosh, I wish Novak would stop giving the libs such good advice.

[vox humana]

If we do that, we end up with 42 percent of the vote and lose the election.

Good idea! Do it! More Bush bashing! That's the ticket!

[freekitty]

Too bad; the cats alredy out of the bag. The entire world knows the only agenda the Dem party has is to Bush bash. They stand for nothing else.

Well, maybe, selfishness, greed, crooks, liars, thieves etc.

[Question_Assumptions]

I'll take your Cleland and raise you a Zell Miller...

The Kerry campaign's message is intended to soar over their heads to that mysterious band of undecided voters who will elect the president.

Who will not be watching. Now that convention coverage has been largely relegated to the cable news channels and C-SPAN, the only people that are going to be tuning in are hardcore political junkies and news junkies, all of whom have already made up their minds. Everyone else will be watching entertainment programming on one of the 300 other channels available to them.

If Kerry/Edwards gets a five-point bump out of this, I'll be surprised. And if they do, it will dissipate long before The GOP convention even starts.

[Denver Ditdat]

Hate. The new religion of the American Left.
