This one is a no-brainer for me but thanks anyways for posting it because some people still have analysis paralysis and/or no shame whats-so-ever.

PING PING PING for an excellent essay by Jim Robinson.

[McGavin999]

Yep. Sums it up.

Allow this and we can kiss our Constitution and what's left of our national sovereignty and freedom goodbye. No doubt about it. It's in the record. Period.
Sometimes I think that it's better to go ahead and let the SHTF. Everybody knows exactly where they stand then and there is no more fence to straddle.
I oft wonder if that isn't the better of two evils.
(BTW, we've already got fences on the border...people who've broken bones jumping from the 20-foot border fence in Calexico... so why not do it up right?)
End of story.
End of story? Nah, the next chapter of the story would be just beginning then.

A perfect 10.

PS, A Kerry 10?

That's a 4 who is heiress to a ketchup fortune.

[EscapedDutch]

You mean this John Kerry?

Bush re-elected, then on to New Yawk and throw the Jr and Sr Senator out in 2006-?, on to California and toss out the two senators, then on to Mass. and get Old drunk Kennedy,

well I was going to scream the Y word, but I'll leave that with Dr Dean.

[Kaslin]

God help us all if Kerry gets elected

[Luis Gonzalez]

The United States Supreme Court will be repopulated over the next ten years or so.

The Democrats play scorched Earth politics when it comes to the Court, we are seeing it now.

Whatever the debate over spending or any other issue may be, that one truth is too overwhelmingly monumental to ignore.

Who would you prefer nominating Judges to the SCOTUS?

Kerry, or Bush?

The Democrat world view is that power (especially our power) is bad ....They will be happier if we are on equal footing with France/Germany and North Korea

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Gentlemen, start your engines", he went to the races and now, he is fixing to start HIS engine and the and the flag drops, the race is on. The way the media has it, Kerry will take office next week."

Although I hadn't thought of it this way, one of my favorite posters here on FR, gulfcoast6, said it this morning. I thought it should be said again!

[Eva]

Thanks Jim, you summed it very well. I agree, the most relevant statement of Kerry's post Vietnam experience is that Kerry has said that he does not think that the US armed forces should ever be deployed except under the auspices of the UN.

[Fred Mertz]

Bush will appoint judges who will abide by the Constitution.

Sure he will. He's had 3+ years and a majority in both houses.

[fish hawk]

the word "AMEN" comes to mind.

[Cold Heat]

A big bump to that!

Four more is a necessity, not a option.

It is going to be tough because the American Public has a habit of spreading the power around.

As they, (as a group) see it, the Republicans control it all.

Actually we only control the house, the Senate is infested with too many rats.

It is going to take all of us to win.

[Jack Black]

We don't have a plan.

Assuming what you say is true, and I think it is, that "Either we re-elect President Bush or we allow President Kerry and the Democrats to surrender our national sovereignty ..." we are really doomed.

Why, because the situation we are in is like a zip tie around your wrist. It's already too tight to slip off and it only goes in one direction - tighter.

In a similar way the socialism is always being ratcheted up, tighter and tighter. Bush is better than Kerry, but to maintain political viability he's already created a future trillion dollar entitlement (which eventually will require tax rises to pay for). He's already proposed a near-amensty for 9 million illegals, which will forever alter the very fabric of America.

So of course I will vote for Bush, its the decent thing to do. But I have a very strong sense that I am participating in my own demise. I've been told you can tighten that zip-tie around your wrist down one notch or two. Sure I'll pick one. But if I really want my freedom back I'm going to have to find some wire cutters soon, or admit that I am tied up tight with no hope of freeing myself.

The opinion that we might as well get it over with seemed absurd to me when I heard it in 2000, now I at least understand it.

You rock!

[Jorge]

Either we re-elect President Bush or we allow President Kerry and the Democrats to surrender our national sovereignty, our national security and our national defense to the United Nations and other so-called world government bodies.

I wonder how many Americans really want to surrender our national security to the UN?

Knowing half the nations represented are run by dictators and leftist leaders who dispise the US and would love to see us destroyed?

When it comes to this issue alone, Americans would have to be insane to reject Bush and elect Kerry.

[LibKill]

Bush, definately Bush.

Ketchup-boy Kerry would be a disaster of immense proportion. I don't want him running things.

[Liberty Valance]

Jim,

You're getting better and better at laying things out in plain English do even J.D. Salilnger's "fat lady" can't miss the point. As they say in Australia, good on ya, copper.
