Folks had better be MORE concerned about who has taken over the DEMOCRATIC Party. Even the SwiftBoat Vets and the 527 issue pale in comparison.
If they are, they will redouble their efforts to see that John Kerry never becomes President of our Constitutional Republic.
Received the following e-mail today regarding the kind of folks who are working to defeat Bush and elect Kerry. The writer had done his research, as you will see here. He said:
"Are we not living in a wonderful, exciting time when one can do research at home & have a wealth of information at one's finger tips?!!!
"Guess who's endorsing John Kerry?
"Please pass this to your mailing lists; it puts the situation in perspective as well as anything I've seen.
"The southern Democrats must be thrilled by the news that the Communist Party of The United States of America, CPUSA, is publicly supporting the election of John Kerry.
"The CPUSA has made available on its Web site, http://www.cpusa.com an advertisement entitled
"Top Ten Reasons To Defeat Bush:
"This advertisement can be downloaded. The communist party urges readers to place this ad in local newspapers throughout the country to defeat President Bush.
"Remarkably, the "Top Ten Reasons" of the Communist party are identical to those of the Democratic party; out-sourcing, homosexual rights, abortion and the like.
"At first, I thought "this is only a coincidence." The Democratic party of the United States couldn't be in lock step with the Marxists! So, I wrote to a spokesman of the CPUSA in Georgia and here is part of his letter:
"' The CPUSA supports the John Kerry campaign with donations and volunteer effort. We believe that defeating George Bush is the single most important issue this November ..'"
"Next, I discovered that one of Kerry's campaign themes is " Let America be America Again." This slogan was borrowed from a Communist poet, Langston Hughes. This is not common knowledge to the average American.
"'Let America be America Again' sounds good but is a rambling, gloomy poem. Interestingly, another poem by Langston goes as follows;
"'Goodbye, Christ Jesus, Lord, God, Jehovah, Beat it on away from here now. "'Make way for a new guy with no religion at all -- A real guy named Marx, communist, Lenin, Peasant, Stalin, Worker, ME -- I said, ME!'"
"Then, if this was not enough to convince me that the Democratic party has lost it, a third discovery!
"A Vietnam vet group took a trip to communist Hanoi to investigate a report that John Kerry was in the "Hanoi Hall of Fame." Yes, there is a museum in Hanoi with a section dedicated to foreign activists who help defeat the United States Military in Vietnam. Of course, you would expect Jane Fonda's picture to be there. But, alas, there is John Kerry's picture shaking the hand of a communist official.
"Never has there been such a tragedy.
"Never has there been such a threat to America. The Democratic party has been taken over by the far, far left!
"Not only the communists but the homosexual activists who are appalled that George Bush is married to a woman! They are enraged that the president wants a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage between a man and woman.
"Then we have the ACLU running to a federal activist judge with every piece of legislation that doesn't fit into their leftist agenda. They support every Democratic socialist whim. The removal of the Ten Commandments is their top priority!"
A back seat? I not sure the party leadership knows we're even on the bus.
The country-club GOP is not "liberal", but it's a far cry from the party of Reagan I had hoped it might become.
If JFK weren't so excretable, the GOP would have much to fear about losing its conservative base. I doubt we'll get much love until we're needed again to defeat the forces of darkness in yet another election.
That was 1992. While Buchanan's speech was explosive and inflammatory in this day and age of political correctness, on the issues, Pat was correct. America is in the middle of a culture war. The secular leftwing constantly attacks traditional American values and if those who believe in traditional American values don't fight back, America will no longer be the America we all grew up to love.

It still amazes me that they have made Michael Moore an icon, that he is now mainstream to them and the crazy theories he makes up are their talking points now.
I haven't seen Robertson or Falwell complain. Both are solidly behind Bush. This is much to do about nothing.
Cool! When did that happen?
Anyway...if we are going to pull something as stupid as this, we deserve to be criticized for it. May I point out that the media completely missed the phony picture the Democrats painted of themselves. They were too busy oooing and awwwing and commenting on what a great war hero Kerry was and what a brilliant rising star Obama was and how ultra brilliant Clinton was....stuff like that.
"hard"? "balling"? So much is revealed in ones choice of words.
The RNC must be stifling protest, and that is why I saw not only an ACLU commercial, a Log Cabin Republicans commercial, but also a Moving America Forward commercial. (/sarcasm).
See my tag.
Based on what I saw last night, it appears the focus is going to be the war on terror for the most part. Seems logical to me.
waffling wimp .. lol
US President George W. Bush (news - web sites)(L) and former Mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani attend a campaign rally 26 August 2004 in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Two days into their party convention, Republicans have made clear their formula for re-electing Bush: boost his bona fides as a post-September 11 commander and trash Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) as a waffling wimp.(AFP/File/Luke Frazza)
"Remember the year they had Pat Buchanan speak in prime time and he had everyone angry? Which convention was that?"
Great speech! I've still got it on video tape. Too bad those days are gone.
Robertson has complained, but he also says he understands why the republicans need to do it.
However you spell the word for crying that would rhyme with balling, is it bawling? wait its bawling either way the point is clear, thre were some,even here on this board who were crying about the conservative voices not being heard. That is why the MSM is picking up on this and trying to wedge the party, it wont work but when a group of people complain about something such as a speaker line up because they arent conservative enough and then this same group crys about the media trying to make an issue out of it, it is rather hypocritical.
Yeah, we won the house and senate the next election and then tried to moderate ourselves and lost to Clinton again in 1996.
Many of the swing voters are looking for the guy they think is most honest. Putting up a glaringly phony convention display doesn't reach those people.
Some voters are simply emotion voters. They have one little pet issue that they vote on, and the issue will vary. Who can predict what reaches them.
I think the only smart convention is an honest convention. The GOP has a liberal wing, and they should be proportionally represented on stage. But this whole liberal Republican line-up is a joke. Who do they think they are fooling? Do they really think the undecided voters ALL fit that ideology? If they did, I would say we are in trouble, because they line up more with the Democrats.
You didn't explain the descriptive word "hard" before "Christian right."
Are you trying to tie the 1994 victory to a 1992 convention speech??
Sorry. I consider the hard christian right the unwaiverable portion of the party that refuses the acceptance of anybody outside there set of ideals to participate in the republican party. The only way we are to maintain a majority for the long term is to be accepting of those who have different views. Now I would agree that the party needs to make sure its majority base is better represented if it wasnt for the fact that the speakers are not on stage arguing the points that seperate them from the majority, they are speaking on point about what they have in common with the party and the nation. If Rudy last night had said I believe the party should support abortion and gay rights then you would have a point but they arent and he hasnt.
95% of the delegates at the DNC are against the war in Iraq, yet John Kerry voted for the war. Where's the story on *that* disconnect?
