So we have been told. But I don't believe it. 65-35, or 60-40 worst case. The DEMs obtain power through persistent subversion, lying and cheating. I sense that the "good guys" have been awakened.
Note to Susan:
Lee Atwater was smarter than you even with a brain tumor.
And I think you and your hateful Dem friends all have a tumor about 18 inches lower, in your chest cavities.
I'm so sick of this. The Rats' conducted their entire primary season as a Bush Bash Fest. All 9 candidates spent millions of dollars criticizing the President instead of each other. In February 2004 (long before swift boat vets came along) McCauliffe accused the President of going AWOL. As did Wesley Clark. Kerry himself called the Bush Administration “the most lying, corrupt group of guys” and he endorsed Whoopi Goldberg and John Mellencamp when they called the President a “cheap thug. Al Gore: He plaaaaaaaaaaaayed on our fears. John Dean accused the President of knowing about 9/11 before it happened. Hillary also said “he knew”. Ted Kennedy called the President a liar. Daschle: called him a miserable failure. Then we had the Bush bashing book collection followed by the movie. And let's not forgoet the filth in the streets of NYC holding up signs calling him names all week -- the losers who don't deserve the freedom of speech they enjoy thanks to our soldiers. This has been going on since the 2000 primary when they ran ads trying to tie him in the Jasper truck dragging.
Zell, did you have to be so tough on poor defenseless Kerry?
Susan in in total melt down. Poor baby.
DemocratDomesticTerrorists in training ...
Another one of Ailes great hires over at Fox.
Boy has Fox gone to pieces in the past couple of years.
Having the campaign manager for Michael Dukakis' presidential bid do political analysis has always struck me as rather funny. Approving of that tank ride with the oversized helmet must disqualify a person on some level... heh heh heh.
Susan, who really cares hun.
Let them bring it on. We've got all the guns.
Changing the subject, Carl Cameron was just commenting that hurricane Frances and now Clinton's surgery is getting in SKerry's limelight. LOL.
"If God is for you, who can be against you?"
Simple, undeniable truth: if you are going to attack a presidential candidate;s character, you have to do it before the first term in office. Everyone knows what Bush is like as a president, and that is what they will judge him on.
When her mouth is closed, the sound you hear is being generated by the wind whistling through her ears as it passes through the empty cavity between them.
Smart politicians understand aiki-do.
The aiki-do master uses the momentum of an opponent's attack against the aggressor. Bush understands that Kerry's attack is coming. He will turn Kerry's smears back on Kerry, putting the lie to the proposition that Kerry's campaign is high minded and fair. But further, he will round on Kerry by using his plate of issues back on the Democrat, while at the same time using aiki-do as a counterattack.
Kerry will attack with personal smears: we saw that last night during Kerry's "Howard Dean moment". Bush will maintain his focus on his agenda, bypassing Kerry's attack to take his case directly to the electorate.
Estrich has obviously been talking to Shrum and others in the enemy camp. She knows that Kerry's internals must be horrible to behold. And so, the Dems will try to go hugely negative to hold down Bush. It will work with the clueless, just like the DUI charge worked like a charm late in the 2000. However, the Bush people will be campaigning on issues that have resonance with the public at large.
Kerry's personal attack will be countered by a Bush assertion that negative attacks add nothing to the debate and do not help "working families". Again, the Democrats do themselves little credit in taking this line of attack, and there is no way Kerry could form a governing coalition based on such a campaign. However, I believe that the larger electorate will be turned off no end by yet another Democratic smear campaign.
The Swifties succeeded in large part because their charges had the ring of truth. The Democrats will fail because their charges will turn out to be lies, and, sidestep the need to address the great issues of the day.
Be Seeing You,
Chris
I keep expecting to see Estritch on some show screeching about poppies while she strokes her flying monkeys.
My word! What an ugly DemocRAT.
We saw her in a panel during the convention. My wife and I couldn't help but notice the crazed look on her face, the slow, gutteral speech when she answered a democrats call as to why was it their party's convention had all the hatred. She just answered - "I was there it wasn't us." and looked like she was going to explode.
Apparently she did.
The comment about how a $million$ can loosen lips is a candid admission about how the campaign gets all it "witnesses" for Kerry IMO. Soros has gone public saying he'd give up his entire fortune to get rid of Bush. That's 7,000+ millionare witnesses for Kerry.
Grazie nick. Work has taken the back seat this week to FReeping... need this election to be over!
Touche!
