Of course, we could have done it a lot earlier on election night but for "Boy Genius" Karl Rove. It's absurd that the election was as close as it was. The nation is at war, Bush is a magnificent wartime leader, and the night before the election we didn't know if a liberal tax-and-spend, Vietnam War-protesting senator from Massachusetts would beat him.
This is the first time I've seen someone doubt Rove's "genius" in print. I completely agree, it should never have been this close.
I have a little different take than Ann though. Bush's biggest negative was Iraq. He's been absolutey hammered on Iraq for a long time, and it swayed a lot of people. They should have fought back, challenged the lies being told about Bush and Iraq and pointed out how the critics were lying themselves. Instead they just rode it out. Absolutely stupid.
Rove is no "genius".
As much as I like Ann maybe she ought to try and get elected or running a campaign herself before she starts critiquing the "boy genious"
That statement needs a bit of analyzing. How can you send large numbers of voters to a poll and have them vote? They do have to be registered, don't they?
Isin't it more likely that they just made sure the democrats who were registered at those polling places actually voted and volunteered to participate in the exit polling?
If I recall correctly, the Pres addressed both gay marriage and partial birth abortion during his nationally televised debates. In fact, I think he was the one that bought the issues up so I think Ann is wrong on that criticism.
Ping! Nice one from Ann!
Playing "Mr. Nice Guy" almost cost us the election.
I'm not being sarcastic, but Yous guys really don't get it, do you? People are getting more selfish as time goes by, more into themselves. Bush had to reach out because there is way too many RINO'S out there so he had to be more sensative to their concern.
Don't for a second think the Michaels Moore's, George Soro's and CBS' are over, they will REALLY pile it on now!!
To their detriment...
To "sirchtruth":
"I get" as much as "you get" and I probably "get more" than you do.
You do not seem to "get" what Ann Coulter is saying. I agree with her because, as usual, she is right.
I also made the point that Bush was too much "Mr. Nice Guy" and failed to make Kerry's disgusting record a real issue. Bush could have won by a bigger margin if the advertising agencies produced better ads and if Bush presented the truth about John Kerry.
I get it all, sirchtruth.
What you fail to realize is that ppl who are not, let's say, "morally guided" do not care about "Thuth!"
Look, enough of Kerry's record came out that any sane person would not look twice at him as a legitimate canidate, but they did because "Truth" UNFORTUNATELY doesn't win elections, and Bush knows this!
Kerry's military record is and was a losing issue in this election because he was honorably discharge...End of story! Bush won because he is what he is, and people know exactly where he stands, NOBODY knew where Kerry stood, most of all, KERRY!
I would think it was the other way around. The democrats let the media know which precincts were the most heavily democratic and likely to have high turnout, and just let the media take it from there.
Kerry: "Actually, I was dishonorably discharged before I was honorably discharged.
DEMENTED VISION
OF REALITY
So how does the radical green movement (sKerry is a part of it, check out the Tides Foundation") turn the world's greatest industrial giant into an agrarian global village - one step at a time. And time is growing short.
It has been a frustrating, if not frightening, few decades for those of us who seek to save the republic created for us by the great minds of our founding fathers.
We have watched as government control has crept into all aspects of our daily lives.
We've watched as our public schools have ceased to be little more than psychologist-driven propaganda cess-pools.
We've watched as industry has been destroyed and vital products like freon have been banned through the use of bogus science and false propaganda.
And today, after experiencing the great hope that all would begin to be turned around with the Republican majority in Congress, we have found ourselves engaged in many of the same battles to stop Republican proposals that would continue to accelerate the process.
And now we are overwhelmed by the seemingly unstoppable UN-led environmental agenda as it uses international treaties to supersede local and state laws.
All Americans have been subjected to the constant barrage of environmental propaganda. And many are falling for these chicken little scare tactics. As a result, slowly but surely America's very way of life is changing.
Step by step, Americans really are being herded into specific human habitat areas as vast areas of wilderness become off-limits to any human activity. But it happens so slowly that the average American hardly even notices. And Dave Forman's demented vision becomes reality.
The excuses are now so ingrained in our national vocabulary that most Americans rarely even raise questions when the storm troopers come for their next victims.
Because these storm troopers don't wear hobnailed boots and carry assault rifles. Instead, they come in business suits, armed with some new study for a game preserve or a bike path or a park. But the results are just as brutal as if armed tanks had rolled in. Developers and property owners are being blackmailed into giving up their land for the "common environmental good."
Never mind that 100 families will have to move out of the area as their property is taken by the state.
Never mind that in another town, yet another study turns thumbs down on a new plant that would have provided jobs and saved the community. There's always an "environ-mental" reason to not allow progress. Did anyone notice that the area is now abandoned by the discouraged and jobless workers? Oh well, what a great place for a park.
As so it goes. Step by step, home by home, town by town, America is being thrown into a new "Dark Ages" of an environmentalist-created holocaust, ruled by an "ecologarchy" that loathes development, industry, technology and human existence. Mother Earth is their God, the United Nations controls their new order, and population control is their mantra.
More than a conspiracy, its a massive, highly organized, highly funded. powerful movement that's found a way to use our language to speak openly while hiding the truth. A movement that's found a way to frighten us into voluntarily giving up our rights, our homes and our way of life - for a lie.
BABY STEPS TO VICTORY
Can we stop them? It's easy to be pessimistic about our future. Our foe is mammoth. But it is not unstoppable.(Stopping sKerry is a good start)
Would we so easily surrender the greatest nation ever formed? Would we leave the field to those who advocate a philosophy of death? Would we, the producers who created the world's highest standard of living, surrender to the demented visions of unwashed vermin like Dave Forman who seek to destroy it? No thought is more vile of sickening to me.
The good news is that there are signs the American people are beginning to get the message. In fact, in spite of all of the doom and gloom I've given you, there really is some good reason for hope and optimism.
First of all - it may sound strange to say, but with each victory of Foreman and his pals in the White House, with each rancher that is shut down, with each saw mill that's closed - more victims of radical environmental policy are created.
Those new victims have a way of finding their way to our camp and swelling our ranks.
And with every new mother who suddenly discovers what these monsters are doing to their children through OBE and school restructuring - a fierce new warrior is born.
Every year, thousands more children are leaving public schools and either entering private schools or are being home schooled. They are our future.
There are those in Congress who are beginning to hear our plea. Congresswoman Helen Chenoweth of Idaho refused to give into pressure from Speaker Gingrich to get off the property rights issue. And it looks like she may well be reelected - in spite of a massive effort by the greens to defeat her.
Congressman Joe Scarborough introduced a bill (HR 2535) calling for the US to completely withdraw from the United Nations and remove it from our shores. There has been much controversy and support for this bill across the nation. This one act could serve to bring down the social planner's whole house of cards.
And there is no greater urgency than to get the United States out of the United Nations. We should put out every effort possible to see that such legislation is passed. It is possible.(sKerry would have taken his direction from Kofi!)
Finally, we have just won two major victories at the end of the 104th Congress.
First, Congressman Don Young of Alaska introduced the "American Sovereignty Protection Act." That bill was specifically designed to protect America from these UN Treaties. And though, because of political wrangling, it didn't officially pass the Congress - the bill received an astounding 245 votes for it and 178 votes against.
This is a major victory for our cause because it draws a line in the sand - it sets the battle lines for the 105th Congress. It tells the greens we're on to their schemes and we're ready to fight back.(Karl, pay attention here)
And just two days ago, Congressman Young told me he is definitely ready to re-introduce that bill in the 105th Congress. We can pass it.
Second and perhaps more importantly, "back-to-basics" education activists waged a gallant battle and succeeded in stopping the CAREERS Act. Because we threw down the gauntlet and never gave up the fight - CAREERS did not pass - even after sailing through both houses of Congress last year.
First our efforts bogged it down in Conference committee for ten months and then we threw everything we had into the fray to keep it from even being brought to the floor for a vote before the 104th Congress adjourned. Its supporters, led by Ted Kennedy, tried every maneuver and backroom deal possible to get that floor vote. But their every twist and turn only resulted in more phone calls, faxes and letters from our troops. I'm so proud of everyone who joined this effort.
This is a victory of unprecedented proportions. It's the first time we've ever stopped a major piece of the "plan." The CAREERS Act is vital to that plan and we stopped it.
Now, after the battle waged over the CAREERS Act, we're a lot smarter and more aware of the true nature of the enemy. Now, better organized, we're ready to begin from the very start of the 105th Congress to force the repeal of the School-to-Work Act and Goals 2000.
A SHINING CITY OR THE DUST BIN?
We have reason to be optimistic. But it's only a tiny beginning. We must not let up for a minute. These social planners never stop trying.
We must be ready to fight and refuse compromise -no matter who is introducing or backing legislation that we believe is bad for our nation and our families - be they Democrat -Republican -or even short guys with big ears.
(We just fired Dasshole!)
Unless Americans re-learn very quickly that it was the right of the individual to own and control property - that it is the individual's exercise of freedom of choice - that made the United States the only moral nation on Earth, then the last one out won't have to turn out the lights. Those will have been already extinguished along with the world's last beacon of freedom and hope.
As Ronald Reagan said, "we can slip into the dust bin of history along with the great civilizations of the past. Or we can be, as our destiny calls us to be, a shining city on a hill."
This is still the greatest nation on earth. We are still a long way from losing it. But the forces of freedom must hurry. We must organize and unite for our greatest battles.
You are all freedom fighters. That's why you're here. Incredibly, the message I've given you today is under the surface, not even discussed at our highest levels. Yet, these policies march forward, unchecked.
It's up to each and every one of you to learn, understand and sound the alarm. As Winston Churchill warned, we must face facts - or they will stab us in the back.
Thugs like Dave Foreman, the Sierra Club, the Education Establishment and those temporary occupants of the White House cannot steal our property, our children or our dreams if we arm ourselves with the knowledge of what Sustainable Development and the Green agenda really is.
Together, if we stay vigilant, if we get out the truth - we can, and we will Take America Back.

PING.
I agree with her because, as usual, she is right.You can say THAT again!
Good stuff. Very well chronicled and all true.
