PERSONAL REFERENCES:

I'm interested to see if the rest of the country agrees with this assessment of Bush come Election Day, November. I think I heard Tim Russert make this observation first: over the past 50 years Presidential Elections involving incumbent candidates are landslides one way or the other: the American people either "backs their man" with a resounding victory (Reagan vs. Mondale in 1984, Clinton vs. Dole in 1996) or voice their discontent by booting him from office (Bush Sr. loses to Clinton in 1992, Jimmy Carter loses to Reagan in 1980). The really close elections are the ones involving new candidates (Kennedy-Nixon in 1960, Bush-Gore in 2000).

How will 2004 play out?

The list is blatent partisan politics... I'm surprised they didn't point out how that Bush went around kicking puppies and tearing wings off of flies. All it did was level accusations and didn't back up any of it with fact.

Did you check out the other "areas" on the page?
Especially the "People who we think should Eat a D!ck" area? Every last one of them is a conservative target. You're not dealing with the most mature and responsible people on this web-site. They have an opinion and they're entitled to it. And that's exactly what most of those accusations are... partisan opinions trying to get a Democrat elected.

For instance... How do you back the claim up that, "I <Bush> am the first US president to establish a secret shadow government."? This list is nothing but the shot-gun approach to politics of personal destruction (Clinton's terms, not mine).

As far as How 2004 will play out election-wise... That's a toughy. I haven't seen anything from John Kerry that makes me think he can best Bush in the election. We don't know who his Veep candidate is yet. He needs someone that will make him look a little more of a moderate within the party. We know he stands on both sides of every issue. The military is reportedly agin him. He doesn't think the south is important.

The middle east scenario makes this a tough call too... If Bush gets Osama in the next few months and gas prices come under control, then he's a landslide winner. I don't see Kerry doing anything to make himself a landslide winner.

Furthermore... I'm not sure if all of the Dems want Kerry to win. Think about it... If Kerry wins and Hillary wants to run in 2008, then she'll have to beat Kerry in Democratic primaries. When was the last time an incumbant lost a presidential primary in this nation? When was the last time the incumbant party actually ran a competitive presidential primary in this country? I can't remember it being done anytime recently.

All in all, it should be interesting, but at this point I think Bush will beat Kerry. Barring any major turn events between now and the election.

All I know is that George Bush wants me to have no rights whatsoever regarding the man I choose to call my spouse. He reiterated as much this week in his address to the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention, in which their newly elected leader said that the Massachusetts Supreme Court was a huger threat to the sanctity of America than all of Al-Qaeda combined. Cute.

Not to mention that the Republican Party is pushing the anti-gay marriage amendment through the Senate this summer in an effort to make America focus less on Iraq and more on how the evil gays need to be stopped from destroying America from within. Since they have figured out they can't win on Iraq, they are pushing the election in a direction in which they feel they can win more votes: anti-gay policy.

I will never again vote in any election for any person who in any way supports this proposed amendment. This includes our dear President Bush: he has staked his stance on this issue into Washington's political soil, and I hope this November, the voting public of America pulls that stake up and puts it right through his political heart.

I have never been personally affected by any political issue the way I have been affected by this one, and I will fight for the right to have my union with Lee celebrated and honored by the land I love to my dying day.

Well said KP.

The LA times has a really cool interactive electoral map. Find it here: Bush/Kerry Electoral College Map

According to the latest poll data, the candidates are tied at 154 electoral votes each, with over 200 up for grabs. Still, we're a long ways from November even now.

Bush did that too!? That man is OUT OF CONTROL.

But can Bush beat himself? By November, will there be enough Americans who feel they want ANYONE except Bush in the White House?

Then again, Massachusetts politicians have a tough time finding broad coast-to-coast American support (Governor Dukakis, anyone?).


Again, I'm figuring it's not so much what Kerry has to do in the next few months than what Bush has done over the past four years or what people will think he'll do in the next four years.

I can't remember an instance either. Good point.

A LOT can happen between June and November that can both help and hurt Bush's re-election effort.

Stay tuned...

So KP, how do you feel about the decision by the Southern Baptists to sever their ties with the Baptist World Alliance because they won't abide by their 'liberalness'?

Here's my $.02: There are probably a millions of people who would be better Presidents than Bush. Kerry isn't one of them!

Seems too many mediocre candidates. I guess history shows there is a lot time biding between good Presidents.

The Kerry speech I saw was unique. As he droned on he was actually putting his own supporters to sleep.

The good thing about the coming election? I'll know that my vote will be based upon my heartfelt beliefs because between the two candidates there is no danger that I'm going to be swayed by an attractive personality.

John F. Kennedy, where are you when we need you?

Bush goes to war because he figures God is on his side. He does not bother to consult his own secretaries of defense and state on the matter. His administration misleads the public about our reasons for going to war. Pundits applaud the fact that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power. I guess might makes right, after all.

Kerry's too weaselly to admit that he (not just his family) owns an SUV and splits hairs about throwing his ribbons -- not, perish forbid, his medals -- over a wall. As a young man, he made strident indictments of the government and his own actions in Vietnam; now he dismisses those words as folly of youth.

Me? I think I'll write in a vote for Donald Trump. At least he's proud of being an SOB.

I think the Southern Baptist leadership is out of control and should be ashamed of the fact that they dupe millions of decent religious folk into playing their political games. Nothing they do surprises me at this point.

Rudy Giuliani! Where are YOU when we need you?

God I'm glad I'm from the country.

I'm used to the smell of BS in the morning.

From both sides.

Like my liberal wife says, you don't change horses mid-stream. That is why my feminist(sp?), life long liberal wife is voting for Bush.

Besides, given Kerry's past, if he wins the presidency he will just turn it down. I mean, has he ever taken a firm stand on ANYTHING and stuck to it?

Combine that with is attitude of taking Lady Liberty, bendin' her over, hikin' her skirt and tellin' the UN to have at it really just irks the hell outta me.

I've never seen a more pathetic excuse for a leader than Bush. I find it hilarious that anyone would vote for him because of the actions of terrorists.

Not sure the basis for the second pargraph, but he has successfully garnered a reputation for honing the flip-flop into a fine art. Perhaps a new cabinet post on flip-flops and thongs. Oh wait, Clinton already developed that second one.

I was amused by the 60 Minutes interview with Kerry and Edwards. Edwards swamped his own leader with personality. If Kerry wins, I'm betting by the time the four years are up, they flip-flop and Edwards becomes the next presidential candidate AND becomes a direct inherator of the Heintz fortune.

I have to say here that i just read what Petey C. posted, and while i honestly just don't want to spend the time here disputing, disproving, or refuting each and every one, i can easily talk about a few.

"I presided over the largest corporate fraud" blather, all that stuff about Ken Lay. But the funny thing is, and what no one really wants to mention, is that the democratic party recieved JUST ABOUT AS MUCH money as the repubs did. You see, Lay and enron were corrupt, and they spread the wealth. BUT, when they called the Bush admin for illegal favors, they didn't get them. They did when they asked for favors under Clinton. Why don't they talk about that?

"I rendered the UN irrelavant.." blather. Um, no, the UN rendered itself irrelavant when they passed 17 decrees against Iraq, then had members of the SECURITY COUNCIL do ILLEGAL, BACK DOOR DEALS that meant thousands of people were killed, and Millions lived under Tyranny while they supported, ILLEGALLY, a murdering, rapine, bastard and prevented the UN from doing anything.

I could go on, but those are the factual things. The opinion stuff, well, thats up to each. But honestly, some of the lies...well, these folk remind me of the Will Ferrel character from Austin powers. Ask him a question three times and he has to answer. Tell them the same lies three times and not only do they believe them, but they further them.

Not to mention the little DEBACLE of Sandy Berger and the the STOLEN PAPERS that have just hit the news. And this was AFTER THE CLINTON ADMIN IS OUT OF POWER. Guess you cant keep a great liar, thief, crook, and alledged murder down.

But, honestly, what really cracks me up more than anything, is the sudden love of the military people from the extreme left. "Oh, how dare he put OUR boys and girls at risk! How dare he...? What? What do you mean my side has hated the military for years...why, thats not true. Just because we voted to defund the military, just because we voted to constrain the intelligence groups to the point were they weren't even allowed to tell each other of possible threats, just because KERRY wanted to cut funding to them, and my predecesors spit on them and called them baby killers, what do you mean we don't love them?"

Gimme a break.

Look, you wanna hate bush, you wanna bash bush, do it all you like, but at least get the facts right without the Daniel Webster lawyer, Micheal Moore communist spin.

Truth is deadlier than fiction. Try it.

You're spinning like a top, Rickshaw1. At least Kerry was in the military. At least he knows what it's like. So do I, actually. Bush hasn't got a clue that wasn't bought for him.

Good for you, APB. And that wasn't spin. It was TRUTH.

Bush was in the military as well. Yeah, yeah, "what about the whole awol thing?" Yeah, what about it? You don't believe someone that gained nothing when they said that they actually served with him. But, tell you what, ask Kerry what that third Purple Heart was for. Ask him to see the scar. And then watch as his body guards drag you away from him.

I don't doubt he was in, he was drafted. He served. Good for him. But he damn sure isn't any "hero". Add to that his lies..."well, i threw away my medals, no, it was my ribbons, no, my medals...my sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter..." Who the hell knows what he did.

My dad was in the military, my grandfather was in the military, and i have seen how records are lost and misplaced on a yearly basis. And no, i wasn't in the military. I wasn't called. If i had been called, i would have been there. So spin that all you like.

Big whoop. AS for spin, nunuhhh. Moore cherry picked to get his lies right. That has been proven over and over.

But its nice to see that yet again you just accuse, but do not disprove. Facts don't matter as long as the accusation carries, right?

As for the UN junk...so? I really couldn't give a rats ass what a bunch of Murderous Tyrants and dictators think about us. "He got us kicked off the human rights board"...and thats another lie. We were rotated out, just like other countries, in an attempt at parity, you know, making us equal to the rest of the world. But, who was it they replaced us with?

C'mon, i bet if you look, you can give us the answer?

Again, truth is a killer. Try it.

But this isn't mid-stream. It's fork-in-the-road.

opinion on your part, sanity.

Look, im pretty much middle of the road, with a conservative leaning. I think the extreme factions that have been driving the parties on EACH side are frickin' nuts, and more than a little hysterical.

The ABB's don't even know their candidate, and apparantly don't care to, cause he sure as hell isn't saying anything substantive other than he will turn the country's true governance over to the UN.

The right's brigade of nutcases freak out over gay marriage, something that has been co-opted from religion to legal battles, how F'ed up is that?

But Bush, whether you want to admit it or not, has provided leadership. The country is pulling out of the dot.com bubble burst, despite having a major financial event (911), dispite thieving corporate fraudists, despite the true causes of rising gas prices, which is the venuzuala (sp?) oil field strikes, the problems with the russian supplies, and the OPEC created supply shortages.

When they start screaming about where Bush was when 9/11 went down, they conviently leave out that at that moment, despite being in command of, and in touch with, the federal gov, bush was ferried (sp?) away by the Secret Service, who had control of the physical location of the president in times of security threats. That is their MANDATE, their sole reason for coming into existence, if not their sole reason for existing now. They are charged with the safety of the life of the President, for the good of the country.

They say he sat there and did nothing. But do you honestly think nothing was taking place? No, agencies were gathering info. What was he supposed to do in front of that crowd of school children? Scream, cry, run around like a chicken with his head cut off?

Like him or hate him, he has provided through his administration solid leadership.

Then you still get the whole "he stole the election" dispite four large, major left-leaning news agencies that do not report to the gov doing their own recounts, taking over six months, and still proving that Bush won the electoral votes. Yet, somehow, Bush stole it because it was Florida, and his brother was Governor. What they don't say is that the DEMS were running the elections in the contested counties.

He has proven he has the leadership, and the ability to make tough decisions and stand by them. Kerry has proven that he can't tell whether it is night or day without changing his mind twice in three hours.

I don't want someone that indecisive leading my country. That is why bush gets my vote. Not because he is republican.

And with a job to finish, yeah, i consider it still mid-stream.

sigh.

as usual conservatives only see what they want, facts be damned.

I think the average person is seeing though the BS, though, and that's why the Bush team is so hard on the offensive.

Does anyone think for one second that if a Democrat had done any of the things our commander-in-theif has done, they'd be using the same lame defenses? hell, no!
Republican hypocracy at its best, once again.

Bush is about the only one who could make Slick Willie look honest and trustworthy in comparison.

Okay, Kent, regarding what i talked about, which part was a lie?

And please, give proofs, not opinions. If you can i am willing to listen to them, honestly.

And when i say proof, i don't mean the michael moore type, but honest facts that can be substantiated.
