After the eight year loss of the white house to Ike, the Democrats moved to the right a bit with JFK. When in his inaugural speech JFK asked, "Ask Not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your county" he sounded a lot more right than left. JFK was certainly to the right of Adlai Stevensoon.
With JFK and then LBJ holding the presidency for 8 years, and then a NIXON win in 68, by 1972 the Democrats were ready to make a sharp turn left. And the McGoven debacle did indeed happen. The leftist Democrats think if a "moderate" HHH could not beat the HATED NIXON, then they needed to turn left... .and they did.
After the 1972 shellacking, the Democrats moved a bit to the right with a former Southern Governor ... Jimmy the CArter. Just 6 years earlier Jimmy had refused to condem the racial views of segregationist George Wallace. In 1970 Jimmy's campaign even published scandalous pictures of his primary opponent in the race for Georgia's governorship. ? Jimmy actually published pictures of his opponent shaking hands with a black man... Gash gasp ..Jimmy ment to imply that they couldnt tolerate that in good ole Georgia ... could we Jimmy?
But after 4 years of Jimmy and eight popular years of Reagan, they reached south for a southern moderate named Bill Clinton.
But after Gore got beat they are doing the same thing they did after the HHH defeat. The are making a sharp turn left. The Democrats are embraceing Dean much like they did George McGovern 30 years ago.
It is as if the Democrats never learn from their mistakes.
I have often thought that National Democrats should marry the daughters of California Republicans. Their offspring would provide free enterainment for us all.
Victory? Victory for whom? You must mean the Republicans, because I am having serious doubts whether it will be a victory for Conservatives.
Rather than writing the press with a pro-Bush message, I suggest Freepers write the White House with a pro-Conservative message.
Ask Mr. Bush to start supporting a Conservative agenda such as:
1) Protecting our borders from foreign invasion.
2) Supporting traditional family values by speaking out against the rabid homosexual activist agenda.
3) Protecting our industry (what little we have left) from unbalanced trade practices, especially with those countries that employ slave labor. (It was wrong when the Nazis did it, and it’s still wrong.)
4) Avoid Hillary-like prescription drug plan paid by federal income tax.
5) Not send $15 Billion dollars of our money to sub-Sahara Africa (that’s $150 of YOUR money if you’re an average Joe) just because those people can’t get it through there heads that you’re not suppose to stick things where they don’t belong.
6) Stay out of entanglements in Africa.
Does no one remember what happened to the Romans? They had a great empire going. But, then they got cocky and sent their great military to far-flung corners of the world. Barbarians moved in and took over. History repeats itself. People who believe they are exempt from that rule only accelerate their doom.
With a little thought, I’m sure you can come up with a few of your own.
As for those who’d say, “Well, it would be a victory over the Democrats.” - I say the lesser of two evils is not cause for celebration.
Love to, but...
My local paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal, is a subsidiary of USA Today. Their editorial staff is vitriolic in their contempt of the President, and pro-Bush letters are routinely spiked.
Their ombudsman, a liberal heffer, admitted to this practice on a local talk radio program several months back.
See what we're up against?
