Kerry losing ground

I am sure there will be a series of last minute attempts to dishonor our President. The Democrooks know no shame. I do know that he will lead us for the next four years in some of the most turbulent time in US History. I pray it will be George Bush. God bless him!!!

[Casloy]

the emerging party line is, as senior Kerry advisor Richard Holbrooke's put it, "Iraq is worse than Vietnam."

And proves how incredibly desperate the Kerry campaign is. Kerry and his type see only two kinds of wars. One is Vietnam that drags on seemingly forever and the other is Desert Storm which we win in a few days with minimal casualties. They are clueless about war and how to win it and how things never go as planned. Kerry is the last man on earth we want to place in charge of our military. He won't know how to use and it will certainly weaken it.

"But, there are a whole lot of Americans who are not rational..."


I can vouch for that, I know some of them!

[RipSawyer]

Sure, Bush created the hurricanes to keep Kerry from campaigning in Florida. ;)


Actually, Kerry caused the hurricanes by keeping the air conditioning in his wife's mansions set at too low a temperature and flying around in his wife's airplane.

hanoi john is in a Vietnam time warp. He has not progressed beyond it. he's still fighting against 'Nixon's' war.

Or sitting home. IF sKerry gets in his judges/justices will put paid to what ever these protest voters are accusing GW of. They won't like sKerry's gun control, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual judges/justices one bit. They would condem us to 25-30 years of these life time appointed black robe tyrants...stroke of the pen, LAW of the land. It's taken us 20 years to rebuild the Republican party and get conservatives in congress and on the benches.

Kerry can't allow anyone to know who he is. And it's taking a toll, since he can't remember who he is himself.

electoral-vote.com is always swinging up and down; currently it has:
Kerry 217 Bush 311

Some states that were "tied" before, like Ohio and Florida, are "barely Bush"--though one poll (Cleveland Plain Dealer) in Ohio had Bush up by 9 points or so.
That's barely? He used to have Maine in Kerry's column but now it's barely Bush, along with NH next door. (Though I saw on Manchester NH's WMUR-TV tonite that a Concord
Monitor poll has thing exactly even in the Granite
State)

[GailA]

With the mess in FL how are they getting any decent polling data?

Because, believe it or not, the phones work. Power goes out; windows blow in; trees fall on the house; the front room floods; but the phones, even land-line, work!

Sean Hannity made an excellent point on his radio show Friday. He seemed quite concerned that the Dems would try another stunt on par with the forgery scandal, but attempt it at the last minute before detection by the pajamahedeen could be realized, at which point Kerry could win and it would be too late to do anything about it.

Remember the DWI information that the Mainer held onto until just before the election when W was in the lead. He lost five points which led to the infamous debacle.

I am hoping that the Bush team expects this and is prepared for it.

[Betty Jane]

I heard that, too. I told the dopey lib who said that she should vote for Bush then. You really mustn't piss off the guy who can send a tornado after you.

[The Renegade]

Sure, Bush created the hurricanes to keep Kerry from campaigning in Florida. ;)

He did. Haven't you heard of "Hurricanes for Bush?"

[Polybius]

"His latest incarnation will position him to draw support from swing voters who decide, in the end, they would rather cut-and-run from the "worse than Vietnam" quagmire than stand and fight. And, evidently, John Kerry wants them to know that he is the man to do it "

Boston Globe, 6/16/2003: ........"I didn't really want to get involved in the war," Kerry said in a little-noticed contribution to a book of Vietnam reminiscences published in 1986. "When I signed up for the swift boats, they had very little to do with the war. They were engaged in coastal patrolling and that's what I thought I was going to be doing."......... But two weeks after he arrived in Vietnam, the swift boat mission changed -- and Kerry went from having one of the safest assignments in the escalating conflict to one of the most dangerous.

Boston Globe, 6/16/2003: ......... He requested and was granted a transfer out of Vietnam six months before his combat tour was slated to end on the grounds that he had earned three Purple Hearts. None of his wounds was disabling; he said one cost him two days of service and the other two did not lead to any absence. .........The bottom line is that Kerry could have remained but he chose to seek an early transfer.

Actually, I strongly believe that the Dems are sitting on a pile of similiar forgeries and fakes they were planning on dribbling out until election day.

I can't believe that with Kerry tanking they won't try to use the other documents they've created.

Oh, and as for the Dem's October Surprise in particular, I would have to guess that they will try and bring up the "Bush got a woman pregnant and paid for her to have an abortion" myth.

[Time4Atlas2Shrug]

In other words, they are going to invoke all of the Michael Moore-style hysteria that moderates hate. I cannot see something like that resonating, but who knows.

I think that they are having trouble digging up legitimate dirt on the president. So many of the skeletons have already been released - the advantage of incumbency. And I am quite certain that there is such a visceral hatred for Bush that every motivated unemployed lefty has been feverisly scraping for something that would stick. This will be interesting.

The war will be getting uglier, for obvious reasons, but I think that most people want us to finish it and believe that Kerry would have us pulling out sooner rather than later with our tails tucked firmly between our legs.

[swilhelm73]

Well, read some leftist writings on the upcoming election and an interesting pattern emerges.

Most leftists seem to acknowledge by this point Bush is most likely to win. They seem to believe this is because the American populace is made up of idiots, unlike, apparently, their enlightened selves.

As such, I would indeed expect more Mooresque hysteria. What with blaming Bush for the recent hurricanes though, I can't honestly think of how much more insane the Left can get, but in such a regard, they do always surprise...

Even if they do manage to come up with a last minute dirty trick, unless it's something truly shocking (yet believable), it won't have the same effect as in 2000 because:

1. In 2000, Bush was an "unknown" and considered a lightweight, therefore he was very vulnerable. Not so now--he's the incumbent and is anything but a lightweight now.

2. The CBS scandal has "innoculated" W to a great extent and anything from now on will be viewed with great skepticism.

Like this from DU board?

seventhson (1000+ posts) Sat Sep-25-04 07:57 PM Original message Poll question: Poll: Should Kerry Campaign Take Ownership of the Bush-Nazi Story?

Okay - I will put this simply: The Kerry Campaign has been deleting my posts at the Kerry-Edwards forums about the Bush Nazi story.

They are obviously afraid of it.

I say their fear of this story demonstrates lack of leadership quality and I believe they ought to embrace the Bush-Nazi story.

If this story is true - and I believe it is - then they ought to OWN the story and TELL us it concerns them. That it is scary and that people need to vote for Kerry and Edwards in order to kick the Bushes into the river in November.

What do YOU think? What would YOU advise the campaign to do?

Read this first and then tell what Kerry and Edwards should do now that the story is in the INTERNATIONAL media.
