The Mercury News: "As in the guy who'll have his finger on the button. As in the guy who will decide how much of your paycheck you get to keep. As in what does Tom Brady know about any of that?"
Where were the complaints about Barbra, and other entertainment types stumping for BC? What does Barbra know about anything that she deserves to testify before Congress, let alone make a campaign appearance. You can bet that Hollywood will be out in spades for whoever the lib nominee is.

WORLD January 24, 2004: Bush league: "It is true that the current Democratic Party establishment hates President Bush with a passion and a paranoia that borders on mental illness. If their party were to nominate him, the most virulent Bush-haters would suffer a nervous breakdown, whereupon they could receive the help they need. More importantly, they would leave the party, probably to join the Green Party, which is where, given their ideology, they belong anyway. With them gone, the Democratic Party could have credibility again."
World's Veith, with his tongue only partly stuck in his cheek, thinks that the Dem's ought to nominate Bush in order to save their party.

Victor Davis Hanson on SOTU on National Review Online
"In reaction, the tortured expressions of a Ted Kennedy or Hillary Clinton were testament to the strength of his message, and the accompanying fear that the president's words could only have a powerful effect in reminding Americans that they should be proud of their sacrifice and idealism as they see the war and its aftermath through. All this was a sad contrast to this week's senseless furor of Howard Dean, the weird convolutions of Wesley Clark, and the empty platitudes of John Kerry. We are learning that this bunch appears either frantic or puerile precisely because they still don't grasp that by any historical standard the American military's record in Afghanistan and Iraq has been phenomenal, and the Sisyphean task of implanting democracy amid autocracy the moral act of our age. All this Mr. Bush articulated more than well — and rightly so for without him it would all in fact have been impossible."

New York Daily News - Ideas & Opinions - Sidney Zion: Bush's run looks harder after Iowa: "It wasn't there on Tuesday night. The general impression was gravitas, a word seldom connected to this son of privilege who won the White House by judicial dictat against the popular vote."
These guys never give up, which shows their determination to overthrow the constitution. The popular vote has never elected any president in the history of the United States. The way the president is elected is defined by the constitution, and Gore etal did their best to use the extremely liberal Florida Supreme Court to overthrow the rule of law. By God's grace, the US Supreme Court still had enough understanding of the rule of law to intervene.
Of course, the class card of envy is played. Bush is called a "son of privilege," a derogatory term never applied by these kooks to Dean, Kerry, Kennedy, Gore, and other multi-millionaires in the liberal party [aka Democrats] who want to use other people's money to "help" the lower classes, the kind of people that live in "fly over country," people that they despise and denigrate by denying them the means of helping themselves, because they do not think they are capable of doing so. But they benevolently beam on those who live on their plantations. These are the spiritual children of the slaveholders, who have moved their "children" from one plantation to another.
Don't let the banner of this article deceive you. There are opinions here, but very few ideas.
"In any event, an election that just a few days ago looked settled now is up for grabs." Wishful thinking.

"So, forget President Bush, Vice President Cheney and the pro-war "neo-cons." Just listen to the Democrats. On the issue of the "unilateral" invasion of Iraq, they make a pretty strong case."
Libs think that the people have short memories, just as they do. However, those who refrain from pot have longer memories.

New York Post Online Edition: postopinion: "Still, if John Kerry or John Edwards or Wesley Clark does prevail in Dean's stead, he will still have to make a case that as president he will do a better job keeping America safe and secure. And last night the president removed a hidden arrow from his quiver and shot it straight at them.
"That arrow is called the Patriot Act - the legislation passed by Congress in the fall of 2001 that expanded the ability of domestic law-enforcement to fight the War on Terror. "
Liberals have underestimated the character and the intelligence of this President again and again. But that is good. Let them keep on doing it.

RealClear Politics - Commentary: "Here's a harrowing pair of facts for Democrats: In 60 years, no Democrat has ever won the presidency without carrying the youth vote. And right now President Bush's approval rating among 18- to 29-year-olds is 62 percent, higher than his nationwide rating. "

Tom Daschle in a story posted on Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal Online. The Senate minority leader also denounced the president for exploiting a 'procedural tactic.' "
Hmmm. Let's see now. Isn't a filibuster a "procedural tactic"? The Dems have been holding up the appointment of Pickering by a filibuster. But "Inconsistency, thy name is liberal."

Excite - News: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will visit states key to his reelection bid on Wednesday in an effort to build political momentum after a State of the Union speech in which he urged Americans to stick with his leadership and defiantly defended the Iraq war."
"Defiantly?" Who was he defying? The American people? No, they support the war. The Democratic party? Don't know, because they are abandoning the anti-war stance of Dean. The major media? Aha!! There they are.
How dare Bush defy the learned and rational high priests of humanism, the talking heads of the major media? Shame! Shame! Shame!

Mark Alexander: The house that hate built...: "These Demo-gogues hate the military, and they hate the idea of defending our nation against such enemies as Jihadi terrorists -- much less without UN permission. Indeed, they hate the very idea of spending money on a missile-defense system, when the same money could instead be earmarked for lemming-luring largesse. Of course, to ensure an adequate supply of largesse, they also hate tax cuts.
Demo-gogues hate religious zealots, too -- a 'zealot' being defined as anyone who acknowledges the existence of a Supreme Being -- as well as 'rich' folks, rural folks, suburban folks, conservative black folks, gun-owning folks, private and home-schooling folks who undermine the NEA's propaganda machines, SUV-driving folks, and pretty much any folks that have anything to do with free enterprise -- especially those affiliated with small companies."

Domestic Issues Hurt Bush in Poll (washingtonpost.com): "When matched against a generic Democratic presidential candidate -- the party held its first nominating contest last night in Iowa -- Bush narrowly wins, 48 percent to 46 percent. On the question of who is trusted to handle the nation's major problems, Bush is roughly even with Democrats, ahead 45 percent to 44 percent -- down from an 18-point advantage Bush enjoyed nine months ago. "
Nice try, Washington Post. Bush will not be running against a "generic Democrat." There is no such animal; he only exists in the minds of liberals, who live in a dream world. The real candidates like Dean, Kerry, etal., get defeated soundly by Bush in all the polls. Maybe the "generic Democrat" will appear, but they won't like him either. Put a face on him and his warts appear.

Good article. FYI
Philadelphia Inquirer | 01/18/2004 | Little seems left for liberal religious activists: "Evangelicals who previously voted Democratic because of economic issues are trending Republican because of cultural issues, Tooley said.
'But at the same time, most of those people are still, by and large, not activists by nature,' he said. 'They are largely middle-class, suburban people who are not drawn to the same kind of economic wedge issues that would excite the religious left or liberal evangelicals.'
There are a variety of explanations for the fading of the religious left in America."

Bushies didn't vote for him to spend, spend, spend. The government is not the answer; it is usually the problem.
My Way - News: "Republicans in Congress have privately told the White House to do more to rein in government spending and reduce the federal budget deficit -- or risk a potential backlash against some of President Bush's budget priorities, congressional aides said on Saturday."
