Bush Leads in Georgia by Only 3%

Wow! What do you think QQQQQQ? Is it even there. That would seem impossible to me, Clinton lost there in 1996. This number and the Kansas number are incredibly surprising. I had thought that the northeast and pacific coasts were the only region to grow significantly more anti-Bush.

I don't think Bush needs to worry about Georgia, but he does need to understand that the vast majority of those not in his tent can not be persuaded by an endorsement. If Bush trys to say, "I'm even popular among outstanding democrats like Zell Miller," he will be hated even more.

This is not 2000, when independents were iffy about Gore, and retaliated by voting against him. Kerry is not a weak democrat like Gore and will have more devout supporters.

And MarkDel the Republican party does have a history of committing fraudulent election practices. What swung Florida to Bush last time was a republican led tactic to put flyers on cars in minority neighborhoods. These flyers encouraged voters to vote on the day after election day.

Don't you try to mislead us MarkDel with your nasty exaggerations, and lies about the war. You are quite a tough pundit and could probably write scripts for the worst talking head of the right- Bob Novak.

Slimy Tactics By Which Party?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The thread on John Kerry and his alleged affair has been very interesting, but the most interesting thing BY FAR has been the comments by the poster WAKIE.

WAKIE has said over and over again that this is another example of the Republican slime machine and how he's amazed that rank and file Republicans are so quick to buy into such horrible tactics. I find Wakie's comments INCREDIBLE.

Wakie, here are just a few of the Democratic Party's proud moments from campaigns in recent memory.

1. Presidential candidate Howard Dean actually floats the theory that it's possible that President Bush had advance knowledge of and/or was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

2. Beloved Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy says the War in Iraq was a concocted by Republican strategists in Texas for political gain, thus implying that President Bush would gladly kill US soldiers to win an election.

3. Democratic Congressman Jim McDermott says he would believe Saddam Hussein was telling the truth before George Bush.

4. Numerous Democrats say the President was AWOL in the National Guard when there is no record to suggest this and he WAS granted an honorable discharge. Funny thing is that a person cannot be AWOL from the National Guard unless their unit is called up for active duty, and since Bush's unit never was called up, it's IMPOSSIBLE for him to be AWOL.

5. Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich states that it is official Bush policy to target civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq.

6. Numerous Democrats call Bush a Nazi, then Democratic fundraisers Moveon.org run a commercial where Bush morphs into Hitler and no prominent Democrats condemn Moveon.org.

7. Former Democratic Presidential candidate Al Gore calls Bush a traitor to his country in a speech less than a week ago and no Democrat disavows this.

8. In Texas, The Democratic Party runs an ad claiming that because Republcians don't support Hate Crime legislation, more black people like James Byrd will be murdered. Byrd was killed by racists who dragged him behind the back of their truck. The ad ignores the fact that the Byrd killers were eligible for the death penalty even without Hate Crime legislation. What are they gonna do, kill the guys twice?

9. In Missouri, the Democratic Party runs an ad saying that every time you cast a vote for a Republican, you cast a vote for the burning of another black church.

And it's the Republicans who engage in slime? Perhaps you can find me an example of a prominent Republican official who called John Kerry a Nazi, or a traitor, or implied that he was behind the mass murder of thousands of Americans?

The Democratic Party has been getting a FREE PASS from this administration for the past several months as Bush and his crew sit back and try to "take the high road." Well, with dropping poll numbers and a second term in jeopardy for the first time since early 2001, it's about time that Bush, Rove and the rest of the boys take my advice and start fighting back against the vermin like Howard Dean and Ted Kennedy, and of course the king of all vermin, Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe.




MarkDel, I couldn't figure out how to quote from another post, but I found some mischarecterizations and lies I must report from above. Some of these examples I have never heard of before, and I will ignore them. In this post I will only discuss reason 2.


2. Beloved Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy says the War in Iraq was a concocted by Republican strategists in Texas for political gain, thus implying that President Bush would gladly kill US soldiers to win an election.

Not all of Kennedy's statement is true. I think the initial planning was done in both Texas and Washington. Paul O'Neil has stated that planning a war in Iraq has been a Bush administration goal since he was inaugurated. Wes Clark recieved phone calls from administration officials after September 11th, regarding how the administration could tie 9/11 to Iraq. In May of 2002 (I got to visit the pentagon just before this made press) the administration released that they were planning an invasion of Iraq to be executed early next year. The Bush administration has clearly exhibited a political neccesity to go to war (watch how the manipulated the press in early 2003).

Bush and other republicans have said we needed to go to war to support our troops.  It is not supporting our troops by sending them into war.

You would have to be hypnotized to believe President Bush has not used the war for political gain.
