A clueless leftist Australian journalist has decided why Bush will win - there are more angry dumb hillbillies than pacifist leftist intelligentsia.

Such is the horrors of democracy, when the frothing masses don't heed their betters.

You'll not find a more cluelessly condescending article on this fine day.

Not to disparage Australia, but DESPITE their questionable ancestry, they managed to put the right guy into office this last time. What a dork writer!

Worse yet, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we are at a net plus of over 3.7 million more Americans working than in 2000, when Bush took office. We lost "payroll jobs" and made it up with a strong growth in small business, which is a relief, because small and medium business growth is indicative of a large economic potential for more growth.

The recovering big business payroll numbers indicates that the big businesses are just catching on. Big business is fast to fire, slow to hire. Small business is more flexible, firing and hiring based on market opportunities that big business tends to ignore until a definite trend has emerged.

Just my views, and why we can't trust any leftist journalist to get the facts straight.

There is more wisdom, and good old American integrity (integrity integrity) in that voting group than the leftist here and world-wide combined.

Leftist's idea of a "bad record": any President who doesn't drive our nation full speed towards a socialist worker's paradise.

"On the face of it, it seems ridiculous that George Bush should have any chance of re-election next week. He is the first president to oversee a net loss of jobs in the US economy since the Great Depression. He has led his country into the most controversial war since Vietnam."

Any "net loss of jobs" in the U.S. has been due to factors beyond Bush's control. Bush was the first President in modern times to face a major attack on the American homeland. Hawaii wasn't even a state in 1940, and the target was a purely military one. The closest analogy to 9-1-1 was the burning of Washington in the War of 1812.

And no, this ISN'T the most "controversial war" in American history, and Viet Nam was only yesterday and the same characters who helped make that a "controversial war" like John F*** Kerry, are responsible for making the Iraqi battle controversial.

The most recent controversial war in American history was Ronald Reagan's battle against the Evil Empire. And the same traitors and subversives who opposed that successful conflict are involved in attempting to subvert this one.

And guess what? It won't work.

Its a good thing most Aussies don't think like this pandering anti-American leftist.

Bush may be FROM Mars but Kerry IS an anus.

The constant reference by the Left to Vietnam makes me curious on how the current conflict will be viewed by future Americans.

After all, it was Kennedy who got us into Vietnam, Johnson who escalated it, and Nixon who got us out.

Yet Kennedy has been canonized, Johnson forgotten, and Nixon blamed for virtually the entire conflict(aka "Nixon's war").

I know, expecting logic from the left is like expecting the sun to rise in the west.

I'll take "hillbillies" over intelligentsia anytime. Who'll stop and help your wife or sister change their tire? Who still says "Yes ma'am" and "No ma'am?" Who enlists for the combat arms? Not effete pacifist intellectuals, that's fer sure.

They are simply a better class of people than Volvo-driving, white wine sipping, whinging, cringing, over-educated morons.

The funny thing is that the intellectuals were so intellectual as to become shills for communism and socialism. Still are I guess.

Being from a hillbilly(Scotch-Irish)background I really have to defend my ancestors in that I don't believe they are all inbred, dumb,etc. I am proud of their culture and what these rough and tough ancestors of mine contributed to this country in making it the great nation that it is today. Yee Haw!!!!
