Maybe i'm naive, but i just don't think that most of the american populace is in to emotion-based psycho-analytical politics anymore. there are lots of bad people out there that are thinking up ways to kill as many americans as possible, which might include me. wrangling over definitions of "sex" and "is" pale in comparison to the cold hard potential reality of my federal government being decapitated or me being vaporized as i play with my daughter in my backyard.

I don't want to be bribed by politicians (nod to Tocqueville) anymore - I'm pretty darn sure that the baby boomers are going to eat up all of the taxes I pay, especially my social security, and then ask for more and leave nothing for me. i'm getting very very very fed up with "affordable health care", "affordable prescription drugs", "living wages", "tax breaks for the rich" and various other Lefty gems of class warfare. i'm not going to reap the rewards of those bribes anyway. nor should i. or perhaps more importantly, nor should the Left try to bribe me.

oh i could go on and on and on but i don't have enough time - my daughter needs me.

I agree with what you're saying, and while my comments were hyperbole, I think a goodly percentage -- an alarming percentage -- of voters are motivated by neurotic fear and hatred, fed by ignorance. I'm still awaiting the inevitable "psychiatric profile" biography of Bill Clinton, but from all that I've read, observed, and know from life's experience, he was and is one sick puppy, and is off the scale in terms of characteristics of personality disorder. Why was he adored by so many Americans? I think his sycophantic followers largely suffer from a personality disorder themselves.

I noted polling results through the entire Clinton nightmare which convinced me that around 42% of voters are susceptible to falling prey to a polished sociopath. And since you mentioned Baby Boomers, I'll volunteer that I am one, and that I believe my generation, in particular, is susceptible to this kind of hoodwinking, being on shaky emotional grounds themselves.

I also believe that since how one thinks can actually affect brain physiology, it's my conclusion that liberalism -- the liberal mindset, worldview, and ideology -- actually causes mental illness.

I'm heartened that some of Pres. Bush's most ardent supporters are those in the 18-25 year old cohort. If we can just get past this election cycle, and over the next four years have the Baby Boomers start to die off, we may be out of the woods.

... you'll be voting for Kerry, then Dueler?!

I heard Larry Elders make an excellent point along the lines of Federal responsibilties. The Presidency has become a caretaker position for every progressive effort that has emerged since the New Deal, with little time left for the primary responsibility of that position - National Security. The first officer of that position was none other than the Commander of rebellion colonial forces for the very reason that the role of President is the General of the nation; manifested with the power to make snap decisions concerning the security of the nation in the maintenance of sovereignty.

Today, the role has been deluted to the point that our previous Grifter and Chief was propelled to office on the fantastically assinine slogan, "It's the economy, Stupid!" Only a generation of fools, so perverted to logic and detached from principle as to believe that anyone commands free markets, could succomb to the rhetoric of charlattans proclaiming that the President of the United States can be overly consumed with international issue related to national interests. As a result, we got a juvenile malcontent in the office, playing political games with domestic policy, making mortal mistakes with America lives abroad, destroying a decade of security policy, spending more time with an adolescent mistress in a dark corner of the oval office, than with his Secretary of State. In some ways, America did get exactly what it deserved on 911, but not for the reasons the liberals proclaim, and not for want of a better leader in the White House.

The slogan this time around should be, "It IS foreign policy, Jack-Ass!"... when it comes to issues of national security and the role of the President and frankly the federal government as a whole.

We The People, will take care of local and economic concerns... such as life, liberty, property and the welfare of our neighbors, and our sons, and our daughters.
