No wonder public opinion polls show Bush can garner only a razor-thin
margin over any generic Democrat. Keep thinkuing like that, Mr. Lefty, you "Tax&Spend-ocrats" are becoming so irrelevant all you'll be able to do come this time next year is get together with your Socialist buddies at the local leftist "whine & cheeze prty" and cry. Oh, we all assume you'll still be in denial and will concoct some other sinister reason why you lost, like the new computerized voting mcahiunes were too difficult for those rich Palm Beach millionaires to figure out! You people are really fun to listen to, however, perhaps you can take it on the road! *Significant* majority? You're fooling yourself. |

This Democrat primary campaign is sort of like a boxing challenger jumping up and down, shouting, shadow boxing, flexing his muscles (telegraphing to the champ all of his moves) running around the ring to loud cheers from his biased fans......a year before the fight starts! But then, as he slowly steps into the ring, the champ will grin and go "heh, heh, heh..." It'll be over in the first round! But, you don't have to wait until November to enjoy all the fun. Bush slyly began running an ad this week in Iowa that proclaims the truth about all the lying Demo-cowards...Iowa folks ain't got much of a choice among those 9 weasels, do they? (At least Graham had sense enough to quit the street gang before they all get busted!) |

Joe Myers wrote: "Giftzwerg" wrote Perhaps such significant majorities of Americans agree with conservatives because conservative ideas are so far Out Of The Mainstream? Okay, now you're hallucinating. "*Significant* majority," my ass. Even if the SCOTUS-aborted Florida recount had gone the way right-wing sycophants allege, Bush's margin of victory was under 1,000 votes, with more than five-thousand butterfly ballot-voting Jewish Senior Citizens inexplicably voting for Pat Buchanan. Nationwide, Bush lost the popular election by half a million votes and after squeaking out the slimmest possible majority from the GOP-packed Supreme Court, took office with a margin of 5 Electoral College votes. In 2002, the conservative-dominated mainstream media blared out a Republican "landslide" in Congressional elections, it conveniently omitted the fact that fewer than 5,000 votes, distributed differently in selected races, would have resulted in Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress. After 9/11, the President enjoyed support from 86% of Americans and universal approval from all but the most radical Islamic states of the world. Since then, arrogance, lies, and incompetence have turned that support into alienation of traditional allies in the UN, NATO, and Asia. By the thinnest of margins, the Republican Congress has turned a $3 trillion surplus into a $4 trillion deficit while lining the pockets of the super rich and war profiteers such as Halliburton. The party that touts "traditional family values" has levied a huge deficit burden on their children and grandchildren and committed 100,000 sons and daughters to bear arms in Iraq for as long as there is terrorism in the world. No wonder public opinion polls show Bush can garner only a razor-thin margin over any generic Democrat. *Significant* majority? You're fooling yourself. Great post! |

"Giftzwerg" wrote in message ... In article , ks says... No wonder public opinion polls show Bush can garner only a razor-thin margin over any generic Democrat. Bush hasn't even started to campaign yet. Tell us all about it in November 2004. His original point is wretchedly stupid, anyhow. Note his use of "generic Democrat." Who does the person polled fill in as a "generic Democrat?" I think there are still plenty of "yellow dog" Democrats (who would "vote fer a yaller dawg ez long ez it was a Demmycrat"). I've known quite a few, and for such folk I suppose any and all Democrats are more or less generic. Andrew Jackson? Harry Truman? FDR? [****, *I'd* vote for any of these three against Bush - in a heartbeat.] Well, I'd go with you as far as Jackson, probably. (I don't remember who he ran against.) HST, I don't think so. FDR, definitely not. Not that I think Bush is a great president. Certainly he seems to fall well short of Ronald Reagan, and I cannot imagine him ever doing anything that would raise him to that stature. But he's an honest, decent guy doing a generally good job in really tough circumstances, and is showing backbone where that is the quality needed. We can thank our lucky stars we didn't get shudder the Sore Loserman duo. Trouble is, the Democrats cannot run a hypothetical, perfect candidate against Bush; they're stuck with Howdy Dean. How does he match up? Ten points down - a *year* before the election, in the middle of a war, with a shaky economy only starting to recover, and after about a year of relentlessly hammering away against the president - before the average voter has seen a single Bush response. Ooooouch. Yes. Actually there are some things I like about Dean, and if forced (with a gun to my head) to pick one of that Democratic gaggle he's the one I'd pick. I'd even give Sufferin' Joe Lieberman the job he didn't get last time. The rest of them are worse than worthless, to put it mildly. Latest word is that GDP grew 8.2% in the third quarter, so there seems little doubt that the economy has turned the corner. Glum news for the Democrats, who surely have been hoping for a worsening economy. Now they'll just have to pray for some other national disaster to come along that they can blame on W. Neil |

Roe v Wade was made on the basis of the evidence presented. It was years
ago and I have yet to see a republican make a claim that the court did not follow the law and the constitution. Its why some of them want a constitutional amendment. (There is a better solution). On sodomy laws, didn't they follow the constitution? Didn't they say if it was okay for a married couple to do whatever behind closed doors, then why should two queers be treated differently. Now for that better solution on Roe v Wade; Lets have a national vote on the issue -- only you have to put your name on the ballot. If those in favor of out lawing abortion win -- we outlaw it. Only they become the ones who are then responsible for all the children they wanted to be born. E.g., they collectively and personally get billed for the collective cost of child support for those kids. Every time I've suggested this in person, the anti-abortion fanatics get upset, turn red and wander away or run away -- like they always do when challenged to be responsible for something -- instead of just judging others. Yeah, we could have done that in trying to decide whether to make slavery illegal, too. Maybe we can vote on whether murder should be legalized and anyone who votes to keep it illegal should have to support anyone who claims they would have been murdered absent the law. What a silly concept. Either abortion is the murder of a child or it is the disposal of some excess body tissue. If you believe that it is the former, then how can you not do everything you can to stop it. If you believe that it is the latter, then how can you possibly allow the government to outlaw it. Doesn't seem to be a lot of room for middle ground here for anyone who isn't hypocritical in the extreme. Thus it goes on. Dave Hall |

Doesn't seem to be a lot of room for middle ground here for anyone who isn't hypocritical in the extreme. Actually, there's lots of middle ground. Either way, it's a belief. That's the key word. A belief is a religious issue. The government has no business regulating a religious issue. Therefore the decision should be left up to the prospective parents. Yes I know, that's entirely too logical to satisfy the "true believers". So, apparently your "belief" that you are a human being that has the right to live is simply a "religious issue" and therefore the gov't has no business protecting your life. What a bunch of bullsomething. If you believe that the someting in the woman is a living human life, then you are morally bound to provide it societal protection like any other human life. If you believe that it is simply a clump of waste cells, then the "owner" has the right to do with it as she wants. All laws and all societal rules are based on "beliefs" so I guess we are all religious in your mind. On the other hand, I guess you might not believe that you are reading this (but if you do then I guess it must be a religious experience for you)  Dave Hall |

Before Clinton, Democrats were reasonably civil for the most part even if they were shameless demagogues. Clinton's excesses, along with his humiliating loss of Congress is 1994 (establishing what has now been nearly a decade of Republican Senate and House), has clearly enraged all the leftist-liberals to the point that they simply cannot get over it. (Hey, how about that famous Clintonista phrase "Time to move on"? Not so popular anymore among the leftist gang, evidently.) Bush has bent over backwards to accommodate the Democrats--he's bent too far on some issues, many of us think--and he's sincerely tried to be a uniter. The *problem* is, trying to get along well with Democrats is somewhat like trying to get along well with rattlesnakes. Neil |

Thank God the accusation is enough when we're talking Republicans, eh,
Fatboy? Giftz hits it square on the head. Particularly when the leftists control the media, they can spin anything they want any way they want to make themselves out to be above reproach, while anyone who disagrees with them is obviously on the take. The fact remains, this is the most scandal free administration in generations, and it's just killing the leftists. Meanwhile their old buddies at Enron & Global Crossing and the limousine liberals in Hollywood and Wall Street are up to their asses in scandals they can't shake. The Democrats and their crypto-commie Socialist buddies are the biggest bunch of lying, conniving scum since the Leninists to ever reach a position of control of a major world power. Their attempts at mind control through incessant lies and duplicity spread through their media fellow-travelers are akin to the "big lies" of the most vicious and corrupt communist regimes. They secretly long for the return of their heroes, the Soviet thugs of yore. Don't hold your breath, lefty. |

On matters of worker's rights or workplace safety, count on the bushies to favor the employers every time. On matters of tax policy, count on the bushies to favor the wealthy, every time. On matters of civil rights, count on the bushies to favor secrecy and executive power every time. The list goes on and on. These people have no shame. And right wingers seem to think it's all just fine, or are ignorant of what their hero is up to. ALL of which is leftist, paranoid, "We gotta paint the other side as crooks so people don't realize WE'RE the real thieves", guilt-by-association bull****! In three years there's not been one corruption scandal related to the Bush administration. In a like period Clinton's cabinet was rife with lawsuits, resignations and gross corruption abounded. They couldn't wait to try & blame their own cronyism on Bush, yet the public knows better. Face facts, the leftists are the most corrupt movement in history, and lie through their teeth with every breath. It figures. I cite facts. You simply blather. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |

Just because the Reagan administration was engaged in highly illegal activities selling arms for Contras doesn't mean that the Commander Chief knew anything about something that was going on right under his nose. Naturally, nobody in their right mind believes this, but we nail the patsy anyway. Speaking of "mentality," isn't it absolutely *fascinating* how the left decided, oh, around the 21st of January, 2001, that it's previous requirement for an actual conviction to tar someone with an illegal act was outdated? Thank God the accusation is enough when we're talking Republicans, eh, Fatboy? ****head, your point must be buried somewhere beneath the mountain of feces you call a thought process. Republicans were busy spearheading investigations about whether or not Clinton got his dolphin waxed. Could they have been any more desperate? No, of course they couldn't. Meanwhile, there have been so many illegal activities tallied by Lay, Cheney, and Bush, it would take a federal prosecutor months just to tabulate them all. Your double standard is a mile wide. |

In three years there's not been one corruption scandal related to the Bush administration. And why would there be? Who wants to be detained indefinitely without access to attorneys because you've done something the administration doesn't like? It's funny when Rumsfeld waxes malevolent about "Saddam's death squads"--somebody should ask him about the U.S.'s "detainment squads". Does anybody really believe the U.S. government isn't currently committing war crimes? |

Particularly when the leftists control the media, they can spin anything they want any way they want to make themselves out to be above reproach, while anyone who disagrees with them is obviously on the take. The fact remains, this is the most scandal free administration in generations, and it's just killing the leftists. Meanwhile their old buddies at Enron & Global Crossing and the limousine liberals in Hollywood and Wall Street are up to their asses in scandals they can't shake. The Democrats and their crypto-commie Socialist buddies are the biggest bunch of lying, conniving scum since the Leninists to ever reach a position of control of a major world power. Their attempts at mind control through incessant lies and duplicity spread through their media fellow-travelers are akin to the "big lies" of the most vicious and corrupt communist regimes. They secretly long for the return of their heroes, the Soviet thugs of yore. Don't hold your breath, lefty. The Bush administration has set up a fascist regime where people can be detained indefinitely without access to attorneys--the same thing they accused Saddam of doing. They have turned our justice system into a joke, and not a very funny one at that. |
