Yes, I certainly did call the swimmer's office.

I also regularly call Senator Byrd's office and ask if they need any volunteers to help wash and iron the white sheets.

US Capitol........1-800-839-5276

And I also called Kerry's office on several occasions during the campaign and asked what they were doing while their boss was AWOL.

On any given day there is some dem who will hear from me........and if a republican does something praise-worthy I call them too.

Message: If Kerry's elected, abortions will continue and gay marriage will happen and he'll be cool with both. Joyce Smith understood that. Von Drehle seems vaguely resentful that she wasn't dumb enough to fall for the spin cooked up by Kerry's hairsplitters and enthusiastically promoted by his media cheerleaders.

Message: Mark Steyn is OUTSTANDING!

Freezing!

Sadness! Church canceled this morning. It's all icy up here. I guess God wanted us to worship at home this morning.

From the article:

Oh, dear. It's so easy to raise expectations at the beginning of a new presidential term. But at least he's got a four-year plan. Over on the Democratic bench, worldwise they don't seem to have given things much thought. The differences were especially stark in the last seven days: In the first half of the week, Senate Dems badgered the incoming secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice -- culminating in the decision of West Virginia porkmeister Robert C. Byrd to delay the incoming thereof. Don't ask me why. Byrd, the former Klu Klux Klan Kleagle, is taking a stand over states' rights, or his rights over State, or some such. Whatever the reason, the sight of an old Klansman blocking a little colored girl from Birmingham from getting into her office contributed to the general retro vibe that hangs around the Democratic Party these days. Even "Eve Of Destruction," one notes, is a 40-year-old hippie dirge.



Former KKK Clansman,
Senator Robert Byrd……

Byrd said in part, "I think we try to have good will. My old mom told me, `Robert, you can't go to heaven if you hate anybody.' We practice that. There are white ni**ers. I've seen a lot of white ni**ers in my time. I'm going to use that word."

See this Michelle Malkin article about Robert Byrd from March 7, 2001

You wrote: The Left only "sees" problems. The Right only sees solutions.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say:

The Left only looks for problems.
The Right looks for solutions.

The root cause of the decline of the Democratic Party.

The Democrats are running on empty

And, America's tow truck just passed them by.

President Bush will have four more years to repair the world the last administration left him with.

That's way too little time. It will take at least a full generation, assuming it can repaired at all.

Steyn has it right. The Democrats are Sooo-o-o retro!

No ice here. We've been going to church Sunday evenings recently. It's not as crowded, so we can all sit together.

We'll have a continuing presence there

We will, and we should.

But it will not happen if we lose 2-5 soldiers a week indefinitely.

Our people are behind the President, and appreciate the depth and nuance of his policy.

But we are also a polity in which the people (ultimately) call the shots, and they haven't (yet) been led to accept this level of violence indefinitely.

What you think will happen depends on what you make of the Iraqization paradigm.

Myself, I think it's a fantasy. I hope I'm wrong.

This is an important point. People go on about how the election shows that the country is evenly divided, and that's simply not true. The Democrats did everything possible to conceal their real agenda, and many people fell for it. If they had been honest about their intentions, I'd expect to see a Kerry vote closer to 30%.

You are 100% correct the democrats and their full partners in the illusion, the MSM worked non-stop at concealing and disguising the lefts real agenda. The majority of Americans don't even realize that John Kerry never released his military record.

I'm 58 years old and have seen a few (he he) election cycles yet I have never seen the MSM sellout so totally to one party/candidate. The media says they aren't biased, I say tell me how it is that Americans don't know that President Bush was bashed for 5 years over his service record and Kerry was never even asked why he hadn't released his.

The media is a joke, I'm not a intellectual elite but I know when someone's past contradicts their statements about the future. You can parade all the pundits and so called experts you want and it doesn't change the facts of who that person is and the actions he has taken in the past.

Is this The Twilight Zone or what?

Dr. Rice has danced (played music, figure skated, and outthought) circles around the George Wallaces, Robert Byrds, and Barbara Boxers of the world for years.

These people are really going to be whining in the dust (in which she's left them behind) when she's elected President of the United States!

MSM and the Dem's should look at the exit strategy in place for Germany, Japan, and most of the Old Europe. After all, we still have troops there. 60 years and counting!

The Democrats' big phrase is "exit strategy." Time and again, their senators demanded that Rice tell 'em what the "exit strategy" for Iraq was.

Too bad Dr. Rice didn't respond, "Your constituents showing you the door in the next election."
