Trouble on the campaign trail. A bad day to be a Kerry supporter.
Best of the web | August 31, 2004 | James Taranto

James Taranto of Best of the Web found this entry on the Democratic Underground website:

“I had a horrible experience canvassing today. We went out canvassing Democrats today to ask them to support Kerry and our local candidates. We were in apartment complexes and lower middle class housing. The young Democrats living there told us they were voting for Bush! We even met a young marine who said he was just back from Iraq and supports the war, which is why he is voting for Bush. These people have nothing and they are the ones Bush is hurting the most, and yet they support him. And they are registered Dems and young. Why is this happening. I thought our base was solid. This is very frightening. We walked for five hours and only met two people who supported Kerry on our Democratic list! What does this mean?”

You'll find that kind of thinking common among Democrats. Their logic states that if someone doesn't have a lot of money or is struggling, well then automatically the government should step in to help that person. The fact is most young people will have less money than most adult Americans for obvious reasons. Liberals just can't seem to grasp the idea of improving oneself through hard work and smart choices. For them every time someone is going through a hard patch, the government must make sure they don't fail. Standard lib "logic".

I'm afraid to believe this. Sounds like a setup to supress Republican turnout.

Bush had a solid lead in 2000, then the dem turnout was unexpectedly high.

Do you suppose that they're wishing that they had gone with Dean?

"-These people have nothing and they are the ones Bush is hurting the most, and yet they support him.-"

Dems assume, incorrectly, that lower middle class people have nothing. People in many other countries would love to have what Americans have, even those classified as below poverty level.

I'm thoroughly convinced that the President has the support of the majority of likely voters who are young. My kids friends who are voting are all for Bush. The rest are too self-absorbed to care.

It means the Democrats should have nominated George W. Bush if they wanted to win.

It means that Kerry will be lucky to get 125 EC votes.
