And not one of these Bush hating morons can tell you in an intelligent sentence why they hate him.

They are petulant spoiled brats who throw tantrums when they don't get what they want. Better than half of them won't even bother to vote because hatred is not a good motivator when it comes to voting.

This "hate of Bush" is something I don't understand. And it appears to be growing. I wonder, after Clinton, and now Kerry, if character means anything anymore to the American people. I pray that the RNC can stem this tide before it's too late.

I wonder what the real elements of this hate are?

1. Immigrant labor

2. Jobs going overseas

3. etc.

Do we really know the why's???

It wouldn't fix the ILLEGAL problem, but just think of all the money it would save on issuing voter registration cards. "walk-ups will be served first, no ID necessary, no waiting--just pull THIS lever.

Yep they find a good quote or two and it seems they continue to recycyle the person.... note the following by Ambrose in a post he made last evening......

Disenchanted Bush Voters Consider Crossing Over (Independent joins GOP in just two weeks time!)

From above NY Times article, dated February 22, 2004:

George Meagher, a Republican who founded and now runs the American Military Museum in Charleston, S.C., said he threw his "heart and soul" into the Bush campaign four years ago. He organized veterans to attend campaign events, including the campaign's kickoff speech at the Citadel. He even has photographs of himself and his wife with Mr. Bush.

From NY Times article, dated February 2, 2004:

http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/03/politics/campaign/03VETS.html?ex=1077512400&en=d1f41dbeaab18901&ei=5070

"I don't think I could vote for George Bush again when I think of the 500 people killed in Iraq and what's happened to the economy in this country," said George Meagher, an independent, who runs the American Military Museum in Charleston and said he now favors Mr. Kerry.

Man, you guys are good! Clearly we are witnessing a concerted effort on the part of the mainstream media to provide free ads for the D party. No, I don't think it's just laziness on the part of these so-called journalists.

In Washington state, Maria Yurasek says she'd vote for a dog if it could beat President Bush.

Lucky Maria.

There will be a dog running for president with ketchup smeared all over his whiskers. His name is Kerry-Heinz.

I have been saying a little prayer every night for about four months. It goes sorta like this " Please God give these socalled conservatives what they ask for, john effing kerry for president". I dont know how long I have to live, with a heart transplant you never know. So I maynot have to put up with the total destruction of this great nation for long. The Idiots that gave us clinton for eight yrs have not learned a lesson yet. But they will get to sit around at church and get a stupid grin and say we showed them.

Then there are the gun nuts that want machinee guns and bazookas to be avalible and without any restrictions. Then there are the campaign finince nuts. Then there are the illegal alien nuts. Then there are the he's not declaring martial law in Calif nuts.It goes on and on. BUT They all seem to not understand that jfk will take there guns and give the illgals total amnesty and make gay marriage legal finish tthe total destruction of wou courts. I dream of them sitting around with a smirk saying we showed them.

Mr. Bush is no longer tempted by the sky

Officers who flew fighter-jet patrols in the early 1970s with George W. Bush describe him as a gung-ho warrior and a gifted pilot who was popular in his Texas Air National Guard unit. The positive descriptions of Bush's military service make his sudden decision to quit flying in the spring of 1972 ? two years before his pilot commitment was up ? all the more puzzling.

Why 1st Lt. Bush stopped flying F-102 fighters remains murky despite the release on Friday of more than 400 pages of records detailing his Guard service from the time he enlisted until he was discharged. Asked for an explanation about why Bush stopped flying, the White House said Bush "served admirably" in the Guard, was given permission by commanders to fulfill his obligations in ways that did not involve flying and was honorably discharged. "President Bush is proud of his service," said Dan Bartlett, communications director.

Bush, whose father was in Congress at the time, was selected for Air Force pilot training, a highly competitive process, despite the speeding tickets and automobile accidents. He had also been arrested for two incidents considered college pranks: stealing a wreath in New Haven, Conn., and rowdiness at a college football game.

The combination of arrests and traffic violations and the score in the bottom quarter of those who took the pilot exam usually would have cast doubt on most applicants who were applying for pilot training, four former and current National Guard fighter pilots and one former Air Force pilot said. All served in the 1970s.

After Bush stopped flying fighter jets in April 1972 and did not take an annual physical examination required of all pilots, the Air Force should have required a hearing known as a flying evaluation board to determine his fitness to fly. Because the federal government spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to train each pilot, it typically did not allow them to stop flying without a formal proceeding. Bush's records do not mention a flying evaluation board.

The president's advisers and friends have explained that Bush stopped flying because his unit was phasing out the F-102 in 1972. They also say he was not able to get a required flight physical in Alabama, where his records show he was granted permission to train in the fall of 1972. Bartlett said there was no need for a physical exam because Bush stopped flying, report USA Today

This past week tested the proposition that it may be possible to know too much about President Bush. The White House, determined to refute Democratic charges that Mr. Bush was AWOL from the National Guard, so frantically disgorged hundreds of pages of documents from Mr. Bush's military files that reporters who normally complain about presidential secrecy found themselves drowning in a monsoon of Bush World minutiae. The documents did little to solve the argument between the president and his critics about where, when and how often Lieutenant Bush turned up for Guard duty in 1972 and 1973. But they did reveal that while in Alabama, Mr. Bush had at least nine cavities and that he has gained 19 pounds since 1971.

Medical files in the stack show that Mr. Bush was 5 feet 11 1/2 inches tall, with a weight that fluctuated from 175 pounds to 184 pounds between 1968 and 1971. (In his most recent physical, in August 2003, Mr. Bush weighed in at 194 pounds.) The weirdest document of the week was by far the dental records, which the White House sent out by e-mail with almost no warning at 8:30 p.m., meaning that reporters who clicked on the file at home suddenly found themselves face-to-face with a full-screen, close-up diagram of the president's teeth, informs NY Times

According to WorldNetDaily the White House has dug a hole and seems intent to keep digging as it attempts to defend the president's service record in the Texas and /or Alabama Air National Guard. The president has released teeth cleaning and pay records and now there is testimony from someone who witnessed that he was present for duty (observed looking at flying safety magazines and flight manuals) during Guard drill weekends in Alabama. Despite the generosity of White House's gesture, it hasn't made a dent in the criticism. The question is will the president's new defensive strategy backfire? It may not cost him the election, but he's going to lose a lot of presidential integrity points. First, we can debate the president's dental records from now until November, but the issue is one of credibility. The president, in an effort to sprinkle some honor on his Guard service, told America on "Meet the Press" that he flew fighters and would have gone to Vietnam if his unit had been called.
