Let me know if you want in or out
Bump.
There is a good chance that no matter what Kerry says or does in the final two weeks of this election — barring some major catastrophe in Iraq, a presidential gaffe, or massive voting irregularity — he will lose. Ahhhhhhhhhh. That is such a nice thought.
No dummy, he [and only 10 minutes up the road from me! I must be smart, too. < |:)~ ].
As a VDH neophyte fan, please pingify me.
Really.
Whenever I hear Edwards I start thinking about Andy Griffiths and Gomer Pyle.
Wow. Another spectacular boat-rocker of a column.
And how.
then, and only then, will Democrats grasp the march of folly in 2004
Even that will not wake the D's up from their drug induced haze. They got the same wake up call in 2002, and slept right through it. There is a civil war inside the D party, and the radical 'ists' (Eviro-ists, Feminists, Racists, Etc) are winning. Lieberman was not even seriously considered in the primaries...he was laughed out. There is no reason to think that another defeat will do anything other than encourage them to be more shrill and extreme. And they think they can be that extreme and win with 'she who shall not be named' in 2008.
As a North Carolinian, I think Silky Pony lays that drawl on real thick, depending on the crowd.
Hanson is one of the smartest and clearest thinkers around today, as well as being an excellent writer. And yet, he remains a Democrat!
Putin wants Bush, while Arafat prefers Kerry — and that is all we need to know.
Bump and a great big AMEN!
Boy oh boy, does this ever get visions of sugarplums dancing in my head.
Man, how did I miss this one?!
You should read his book An Autumn of War, it is a compilation of speeches and articles written beginning with 9-11 and culminating with the sacking of Baghdad. His prescience was stunning, his predictions uncanny, which is why I find his prediction here on the election very encouraging.
I've been telling Dems since the primaries if you want to win, you better have Lieberman and/or Ghephart as your candidate..... no one else has a remote possibility of winning.
Of course they just shouted me down, ignored me, or mocked my advice.
Bush isn't the strongest, he was beatable, and a serious Democratic challenger may have been able to beat him. Unfortunately for the Democrats they chose to act like children and put up an embarrassment as a candidate, and the party furthered their embarrassment by picking a VP candidate who doesn't even have 1 term in office, won't win re election in his own state and frankly isn't fit to mop the floors of the Senate, let alone be in it.
You guys decided to act like spoiled teenagers, and like spoiled teenagers you are about to be smacked to the back of the head by the old man and put back in your place.
