Funny, I don't remember much talk about national security at the Democrat National Conjob. A lot of talk about Vietnam, yes. But I don't remember Al Qaeda being mentioned once.
LOL Love your photo!
One of the things not touched upon in this article is the so-called "even-split" or the "country is 50-50".
This was started by the Dems and OldMedia after the Senate and House passed to the Republicans. Because Klinton was Pres, the logic was that Congress Must consider Klinton's policies and legislation. That's only fair, because we're evenly split.
When Bush won, he won the most states, the most real-estate, the most longitudes, everything except the majority of voters. Therefore, the Republican agenda could not be passed. It had to be negotiated to favor the Dems.
They held the majority of voters and their wishes had to be considered.
So, the OldMedia and Dems are still pushing this "evenness" in the event of their loss.
Don't believe it. If the Conservatives would drop abortion, the election would be 60-37. Wouldn't even be close!
Said while banging shoe on lectern?
BTTT for later
Perhaps. Like the documents he won't release?... Course, I think at the right time, they will see the light of day.
Steeerike!
God bless our troops wherever they may be.
No time to get cocky. A lot of time left before election day and the dem's are going to start getting really dirty (hard to believe) and the media is going to carry every second of it. Like NBC covering the Kitty Kelly Book
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Absolutely true: pride still "goeth before a fall".
But not because of Kitty Smelly - - - if anything, the skunk odor from her long track record as a reckless biographer will rub off on Kerry, not Bush. It's good for Bush that this is all hitting now, rather than (like the last second DWI news in 2000) a few days before the only poll that counts.
I keep in touch with a large number of veterans through a web site. We have never discussed politics in any form, but recently the emails denigrating Kerry have been overwhelming. There is positively NO doubt in my mind that the vast majority (as high as 90%) will vote against him. It's not that they even disagree with his general politics, it's that their own experiences gives them the kind of insight on what a total fraud and self-serving jack-off Kerry is. We knew officers like Kerry in the military and we hated them.
Here's one: 
Bury! Kerry! - - has a nice ring to it!
Thanks for that info. I've seen veteran support of Kerry reported in the mid-40 percent range which really surprised me. I've got to think that the pollsters are wrong -- very wrong.
I think that this could very well be a close election. Remember, Carville is now on the Kerry campaign and there's no telling what he will do. The last-minute DUI is the reason the election was so close last time. I expect these people to lie and try to steal the election. Their shenanigans could keep this election very close again. We shouldn't take ANYTHING for granted.
The point of Minitar's column is that the reason this election is shaping up to be a Bush blow-out is that Kerry (indeed, the Democrats) really don't stand for anything. If Kerry starts actually standing for something, and his position stays firm for longer than 72 hours straight, perhaps he can get back into this race. But even the domestic issues -- taxes, the economy, and health care -- don't help Kerry. He's in favor of raising taxes; the economy is going in the right direction, and joblessness is better than it was in 1996 when the Dems were hailing Clinton's economy as the "best in a century;" and on health care, what Kerry would propose is pretty much what resulted in a Republican blowout in 1994.
Having come through 20 hours of relentless wind and rain from Frances there have not been many smiles around our home.
Thank you for that picture. I have been laughing for 2-3 minutes; my Golden Retriever is cocking his head looking at me and listening to my loud laughter.
Thank you!
Perhaps we have seen this "small misstep". The vast bulk of Democrat voters, after hearing Zell Miller, before the Republican National Convention, deliver his polemic directed at John Kerry PERSONALLY, have re-examined their own motives, and come to the conclusion that the nomination of Kerry was a profound mistake. Not for the record of his service in Viet Nam. Not for his anti-war activity in 1970, 1971 and 1972. But based entirely on his record as a Senator of the United States, and being so negative on the interests of the US while serving as Senator. In fact, Kerry's one saving grace may be that his attendance record at committees and for floor votes showed so many absences.
Libs in the SF Bay Area are in an uproar of sorts because a number of black pastors in the inner city of Oakland are urging their congregations to vote for Bush.
What suppressed Bush's vote on election day, 2000, was 1) the fact he was an unknown quantity on the national stage and people were nervous about putting a guy into the White House who'd only been in electoral politics for six years, and 2) the 'rats 11-hour DUI dirty trick.
