Election 2004 - Some thoughts

ELECTION 2004 THOUGHTS
The election is over. The only real poll was taken on November 2nd and it was not a sample. The largest numerical turnout in history spoke...Bush by 34 electoral votes (exactly what Texas is worth) and by 3.5 million votes. Although my own predictions were significantly higher for Bush, in my opinion, when it comes to traditional American values and to the foundational principles upon which this nation was founded, although he's not be the epitome of constitutional conservativism, nonetheless, the country is far better off with George W. Bush than John Kerry.

The impact of this vote on our security, on the House of Representatives, on the Senate and on Supreme Court will be significant We must continue to remain active and do all in our power to make sure that impact is a positive, constitutional one.

Here is a map of the final vote by state (using blue for the GOP and red for the DNC...much more fitting in my opinion).



...and here is perhaps an even more telling map, a tally by county across the nation using the same color scheme.

Very well said! That attitude is exactly what we need all over the nation. No resting on our laurels...take the advantage and the fight directly to the beast.

Spector showed his true colors yesterday. Frist MUST move to keep him away from the chairmanship of the Judiciary Committee. After that outburst, anything else would be foolish and damaging to the long term interests of the nation.

Four of the nation's 10 largest cities voted for Bush. Houston, Phoenix, San Antonio, and Dallas.

We rock.

We have won a significant battle, but the war continues.

Indeed, but this was, without doubt, the most significant victory in the war to date!

I personally believe that Reagan's victories in 1980 and 1984 were equally dramatic and critical.

But this is now...and we must move forward. This ensured that Reagn's victories, twenty years later, were not in vain.

I am a HUGE devotee of Ronald Reagan and, no doubt, all victories have been greatly significant but, for many reasons I won't go into here, I stand by my statement.

I will also assure you that I am more than ready, willing and able to continue the battle until this great republic has been fully restored!

To: Jeff Head; All

You'll like this!


I got this in an email today, I don't know who the author is.



"AMERICA!"

Osama Bin Laden, your time is short;

We'd rather you die, than come to court.

Why are you hiding if it was in God's name?

You're just a punk with a turban; a pathetic shame.



I have a question, about your theory and laws;

"How come you never die for the cause?"

Is it because you're a coward who counts on others?

Well, here in America, we stand by our brothers.



As is usual, you failed in your mission;

If you expected pure chaos, you can keep on wishing

Americans are now focused and stronger than ever;

Your death has become our next endeavor.


What you tried to kill, doesn't live in our walls;

It's not in buildings or shopping malls.

If all of our structures came crashing down;

It would still be there, safe and sound.


Because pride and courage can't be destroyed;

Even if the towers leave a deep void.

We'll band together and fill the holes

We'll bury our dead and bless their souls.


But then our energy will focus on you;

And you'll feel the wrath of the Red, White and Blue.

So slither and hide like a snake in the grass;

Because America's coming to kick your ass!!!

Not only do your (and Gerry Daly's) colors make political sense, they restore the overriding tradition that the incumbent party is represented by blue (which is how Bush got red last time).

I wish we had delivered Wisconsin for both Bush and the Senate. I managed to get my sisters to vote for Bush, and my hometown of Oak Creek went for the President, but the Milwaukee/Madistan/college town fraud was once again too great. The good news is the Pubbies increased their majorities in both houses of the Legislature.

That just figures -- I wondered what part of Idaho went for Kerry! This map is great at knowing just where the liberals are located.

"My biggest concern is the fact that over 55 million people voted for Kerry."

A valid concern, but overhyped.

The American public was BOMBARDED by news media lies such as:

1. Bush will bring back the draft (it was Democratic Congressman Rangel who submitted the bill to the House to re-instate the draft),
2. Bush will stop your Social Security checks (Bush's SS Privatization plan actually puts money into your personal trading account, thereby PROTECTING that money from an SS collapse),
3. Bush went AWOL (the documents touted by CBS were actually forged),
4. Bush is dividing our country (it is actually the Democrats who have gone out of their way to "fight" their fellow Americans at every step)...

...And the list goes on.

But it didn't work. Rigging the exit polls didn't work. Hyping fake "missing explosive" stories didn't work. Blaming Bush for rogue homosexual and bi-sexual prison guards at Abu Ghraib didn't work for them, either.

Not only did the news media's partisan attacks fail, but news media print circulation declined and news media viewership on non-Fox network and cable news channels fell as well.

The American public didn't buy it. The public didn't buy the nonsense about the "worst economy since Hoover." The public didn't buy their nonsense about "misleading us into war."

The left failed. They rolled out all of their dirty tricks. They played the race card at the polls (e.g. "disenfranchisement" for daring to require picture ID's). They ran front page lies (e.g. the infamous "17 words" from GWB's State of The Union address). They talked down our economy (since when is 5.5% unemployment "bad"?!).

They resorted to violence. Union goons tore up Bush/Cheney signs being held by a 3 year old girl. They tried to run over Katherine Harris. They broke into scores of Republican Party local headquarters buildings.

They hired on and activated more than 10,000 trial lawyers to contest ballots and voting requirements. They filed lawsuits in state after state.

...And still they failed.

More than just failed, though, was that we *gained* votes in 90% of all states compared to 2000. We won 4 or 5 additional Senate seats. We whipped them in governors' races. We took control of formerly Democratic state legislatures. We gained national House seats. We beat gay marriage in all 11 states where it was on the ballot, and beat it even in Massachusetts where it wasn't on the ballot (though their state Supreme Court stepped in anyway).

The Assault Weapons Ban expired with barely a whimper from the gun-banning Left. The Partial Birth Abortion ban passed over the ardent shreaks of the Left.

They lost on every issue in almost every state, save for funding human stem cell research in California.

It was a rout.

...And their old tricks will work even less well for them in 2006 and 2008 because we're wise to them. We're also wired, and we're even more powerful now.

Well said. And the key is more and more people are turning to FNC, the Internet, and other sources. More and more eyes are being opened that the lamestream media is extremely partisan and not giving them the truth.

I have to laugh when I see these sobbing Dems talking about how they have the advantage when it comes to issues. If American voters ever truly vote because of issues, the Democrat party will cease to exist.

We also have t remember that a significant segment of each side's vote was not 'for' that candidate but in reality 'against' the opponent.

How many really voted against Kerry or against Bush? Who knows since they all look the same on paper.

"But it is not done, we must continue to do all we can to defeat any party and ideology that would put forward such a choice to the voters of this nation. That would fool, mesmerize, take in and enlist tens of millions of our fellow citizens in such a cuase so opposed to every thing our nation was established uipon."

I've already fired/terminated all of my democrats......gone. Replaced the most with conservative-minded folk.

I know they now FEEL THE LOVE.
