In that case, we should all just forget this ever happened, and beg the forgiveness of Islamofascist terrorists everywhere.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- When pro-Kerry commentators solemnly pronounce Debate Round 2 to have been "a draw" -- you know George Bush won that round.
The president won because he went in with a theme spoken by the heavyweight champion Joe Louis, just before his 1946 victory over the lighter, faster Billy Conn: "He can run, but he can't hide." (The Brown Bomber caught up with Conn in the eighth round of that first TV spectacular.)
Bush's debate plan was to keep boring in on the Kerry record: flip-flopping this year on the war, but all too consistently liberal for 20 years on tax increases.
On the war, Kerry almost eagerly made Bush's point, at first saying, "I do believe Saddam Hussein was a threat," and moments later denouncing Bush for being "preoccupied with Iraq, where there wasn't a threat."

It's too bad your wife had to experience what our Vietnam HEROES had to experience when they came back TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY, due to the likes of John Kerry.
I'm in London all the time and I've never had a problem. The most I get is a taxi driver telling me how bad Bush is. Be careful about generalizing. I know a lot of Brits that are conservative.
Hey Jack, if you think we believe this cock and bull story you just told, you need to get off that crack you're smoking.
Our first President was not particularly popular in England. Our sixteenth President was not the most popular either. He paid for it with his life. Our forty second President was very popular around the world. He also did nothing to protect the American people and readily traded missile guidance technology for campaign contributions.
Someone shoved and spit on your wife and you weren't on the next flight over. What kind of man are you. How does someone with a last name like Finnegan take that from some Brits. Why, if I didn't know any better I would think you are a spineless, puny, girlie man, liberal.
Hello, goodbye.

Don't go to Europe. Seriously, it's going to get worse. I've heard Europeans say that it's Bush's fault now but if we re-elect him it's all American's fault as we will have approved of his policies.
Frankly I'm sick and tired of Europeans trying to influence our election. When Bush is re-elected, and he will be, just don't plan any trips to Europe. If you have to go there for business, stay out of bars and public transport. The European economy is sick now. A fall in American tourism is just the ticket to push a sick Europe over the edge.
Your wife was not spat on because she was an American.
She was spat on because of her behaviour.
You should have chosen Franceasthe country she visited, it would have made your lie a little more believable. I guess Tony Blair's wife gets spat upon all the time. Not.!
Oh....may it be.
I've been over there too. Bush is not the cause of anti-Americanism, but rather the combination of a screed-writing press and a public that believes everything they see on TV. Television came late to Europe, they have very few voices, and 90% of Europeans cannot discuss Bush vs. Kerry with any significant knowledge base at all. I find them, on the whole, grossly ignorant of American politics. My aquaintance is with France, a counrty which just 2 decades ago was still giving 25% of their votes to an avowed Stalinist. Exceedingly stupid people.
----(But great cheese and a gorgeous countryside). As they say: "how odd of God to waste France on the French."
I just got back from London a week ago and got the opposite reaction from everyone I spoke to. Taxi drivers and pub patrons make for better conversation I guess.
Horse hockey. That's akin to saying that the police negotiator is a murderer when a cowardly thug shoots his hostage.
The Left and its complicit media is largely responsible for portraying President Bush in the worst possible light and "making the US really unpopular." They're using every means at their disposal that they dare use. It's as effective a set of ploys as those they were using on Saddam in the 12 year run-up, while their leaders became even richer and more elitist.
All that deserves to have as little tangible effect on President Bush as it would have had on its continuation with Saddam.

Solution? Don't do business in racist England. Yes, racist:
"she was pushed and spat on when they heard her accent"
Incredible picture. We need more reminders of September 11, 2001. It seems as though so many have forgotten why we are at war. Thank you for posting it.
"Tell Aleksander Kwasniewski of Poland we're going alone."
Kerry set that one up. The RATS were trying to get Bush to pronounce the the Polish Presidents name incorrectly so that they could pounce on Bush. Kerry jumped, Bush moved and Kerry landed on his face.
Do you think this precious child or her family give a rat's @$$ if anyone spit on your wife? Popular? You should be ashamed.
