  • What is going on with the networks refusing to call it for Bush? FOX IS SCARED

    Exactly, by not calling the states for Bush, they are keeping the President from declaring victory. Also, the longer Kerry can hold out, the greater the perception that the evil Republicans have stolen another election. This is just a pathetic attempt to dilute the mandate of the people.

    NM Gov. on msnbc says they have 20,000 new votes from heavily liberal Santa Fe??? States Navajo districts yet to be counted? Sounds really fishy to me....I think he made a slip of the lip when he called those 20,000 votes "new".

  • IS HAWAII GOING TO FLIP TO A RED STATE?

    We were stationed there for 3 years and lived on the side of the island with the heavy Filipino population. I think it might go for Bush. For one thing, while we were there, people were sick of the corrupt Democratic machine that had run the island so long. The economy was seriously depressed there thanks to Cayetano. One thing that struck me was the large evangelical population there. Also, the Filipino women I was friends with were very religious Catholics. Hawaiians are really laid back and the most warm and friendly people you could meet and I don't think Kerry will go over well with them if the economy is good there. Ohana (family) is very much valued there and those people will be Bush folks. And I haven't even mentioned the military there. Lots of military retire there as well because of Tripler Army Hospital (best hospital on earth and the best staff..saved my baby's life). I wonder if the large Japanese population will vote with Bush given that Japan has been a staunch ally in the war on terror. Keep in mind also that there is a large Mormon ministery there and I think that would have to have an influence for Bush.

    Somehow, making the leap from same-sex marriage to legitimizing child molestation as another loving union isn't so far fetched. When that was suggested as a possible consequence of gay marriage, it was treated like a rightwing fantasy rant. Movies like this have one goal..to desensitize a population so that these "relationships" will be embraced...maybe not now, but give it a couple of years and the morally devoid lefties will be pushing for it.

    Funny that this article fails to mention the recent skelaton that was let out of Wu's closet...the fact that he sexually molested and beat up a college girl friend a couple months after they broke up, back in their college days. He put a pillow over her face to muffle her screams while he violated her. And Oregonians seem to be willing to overlook it, despite a big write up in the Oregonian...at least that is my take on it here.

  • Pat Robertson: "The Blessing of Heaven is on Bush" (Robertson also warned about Iraq "disaster")

    Simple reason for Pat running to the Clinton News Network to get his lies out...he is after publicity for his new book, Courting Disaster. He's been making the rounds peddling it. Kinda explains the opportune timing, gg.
    Patty boy has NO credibility now. Hope his book bombs.

  • Thank you!

    My first post here, but I don't think this article reflects the truth. We know someone that is a Syrian American. He is a Christian and visits Syria frequently. He has a few interesting insights into the hearts and minds of people in that part of the world. First and foremost is that he says if you ask people privately, they are praying that Pres. Bush is re-elected and democracy works in Iraq. They don't dare breath this publicly because they DON'T live in a democracy. But they are very fearful of Kerry being elected. They feel like the drive for liberty there would be stifled under a Kerry administration and that the liberty they all hope for will never get a chance to grow and spread to Syria and other Arab countries.

    He also says they want the US to be MORE heavy handed in dealing with insurgents in Iraq. They are bewildered that we have not attacked with more severity. We back off to protect mosques, etc, but they want to see us come on STRONGER. They worry that our reservations to take action in cases like terrorists in mosques, sends a message of weakness.

    And they also frame the problem more in terms of a religious problem...Muslim fundamentalists. In the US we can't bring ourselves to attack a religion, but he says Syrians that he talks to say they know terrorists in that part of the world are Muslim radicals, not just terrorists. They point out that Syria itself bombed Muslim areas in its borders to send a message to Muslim terorrists. I realize that would be a politically charged issue in the US, but Syrians see it for what it is and worry that the US will never be able to be effective if they cannot come to terms with having to attack a religion.
    Granted this person is a Christian, but he can speak first hand about the barbarity his family has suffered at the hands of Muslim's in the name of a religion and he says people are not free to talk about this.

    Wish I could remember more of the conversation, but it was really interesting hearing what the average person in this country REALLY has to say.
