The facts are getting out to the general public and not only is Kerry Toast but the public is seeing the DNC as "Cracked Nuts." Turn the toaster up all the way. Let's make the Kerry campaign and the DNC an offering to the ancient Greek gods "BURNT!"

I don't much care for Grover's affinity for Moslems and his opposition to the National Retail Sales Tax, but his analysis in this article is a fine read and I sincerely hope it proves propheticly true!

Sulphurous DemoncRAT burnt toast bump!

Had that had been me, this is how the conversation would have unfolded:

He: Our organization is trying to undo all the damage Bush and Cheney have done to the environment.

Me: Yeah because I still cant get that taste of cyanide out of my mouth from the tap water I drank. And that three eyed fish I had for lunch the other day left something to be desired.

He: So are you willing to donate?

Me: You know I'd love to, but here later I'm gonna poke my eardrums out with some chopsticks and maybe have some guys from a motorcycle gang kick my a$$.

He: Obviously you don't want to see the truth.

Me: Yeah, silly me. Look over there! (Points toward sky) Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Superman! Maybe he'll save the environment from GWB?

He: I don't need to waste my time with you.

Me: Well, excuse me! Guess I'm too good to talk to the Environmental Crusader!

He: I can't talk to someone who won't see the truth.

Me: Why not, I'm talking to you, would you like me to give you a few pointers?

He: There's no point. You'll chose to believe lies.

Me: Hey, it's working out well for you. Hey, if the earth is getting warmer, how come I have to throw on three layers of clothes in January?

He: Because you choose to ignore the truth

Me: No because if I did, then I'd be going door to door soliciting funds cleaning up imaginary environmental disasters. Tell you what, I'll give you a quarter. And with that quarter you can walk your a$$ down to the payphone down the street, where you can then call someone who cares. Good Day!

Now, I'm not slighting your effort, I think you handled it well, it's just that I would have handled it....differently. By the way, where the hell do you live where leftists solicit funds door to door? In my apartment we just have kids selling candy and magazines.

I have been saying since the start of this whole thing, President Bush needs to stand there and name each country,, no matter how long it takes. Not just say a "coalition" he needs to name names and name each one of them- so the American public hears how many other countries are doing what John Kerry and the Democrats will not do! Please- someone tell him to do this during the debates!!! IT would be very powerful!The people I know who think we are "going this alone" would be blown away!!!

I plan on posting this list a lot.

Just did a "run" on the "other forums" with this list.

I also was tired of "the LIE" and did some research myself
today.

Good job! I read a list like this to a friend of mine a while ago who was leaning toward John Kerry. It really did change his mind. I hope your list is seen by many folks.

"I would have handled it....differently"

I didn't mention that he was shaking like a leaf. I was actually trying to be easy on him. He finally started yelling at me when he got halfway across the yard. (Brave guy).

I live in an area where people have bumper stickers on their cars that say things like "friends don't let friends vote Republican." It used to piss me off but now it is such a joy to sit back and watch them all self destruct because they can't lie anymore. (Well they can but "Buckhead" and the rest of us will catch them.)

"It's by Clinton's design (both Hillary and Bill). With the democrats in tatters, she will be able to take over as its head next election. They did this on purpose so they can look like moderates and Americans will trust them."

I don't think Hillie and Willie could ever pass themselves off as moderates. Especially Hillie. Willie may have been able to pull it off on charisma alone. I despise the worthless bag of crap, but I do admit he had something to get elected twice...even when people knew what a POS he was by the time term 2 rolled around.

But Hillie would have a hard time shaking off her past, with the socialist medicine debacle and her love and idolization of radical Saul Alinsky just to name a few.

I do think they did their part to see that Kerry loses so the witch can take a shot in 2008, but even in 2008 they have to get the same base that Kerry has now. They need uneducated and politically uninvolved blacks, they need the touchy feelys and they need the unions. But I still cant see he pulling all the union vote. One of my good friends is a tough as nails iron worker...dem to the core...voting sKerry this time, but hates, and I mean HATES hrc...I think thats a pretty common theme among white males, and put her on tv every night, nationwide, for a few months and I'm sure women are going to see what a uhem...witch she is too.

So Mr. Norquist contends that trial lawyers control the Democratic Party. No kidding. How long did it take him to deduce that?

...Over time, all the party's building blocks are dependent on continuous support and reinforcement by the power of the central government. Trial lawyer money is now a major part of the Democratic Party, but it is wholly dependent on legislators and courts maintaining the present tort laws that allow lawyers to interject themselves into any and all contracts and relationships. ...

They siphon off some $240 billion a year--$40 billion of which stays with a few thousand lawyers. Labor unions, once the godfather of the Democratic Party but now displaced by the richer and more photogenic trial lawyers, cannot maintain their $8 billion in compulsory union dues without the laws that make such payments mandatory.

What a clear description of the coming Death. I will not miss the Demodogs, and hope the Socialist buddies they have cultivated all move to France. /

I am with you. The GOP is terribly bad about caving to the 'Rats so that they don't look like the bad guys.

It isn't always caving to the Democrats. It's failing to take over ground that is lost by the Democrats, presumably in the hopes of earning some good will from the Democrats or because the Republicans in question are just risk-averse.

The number of non-American coalition troops is more than 40,000, though numbers fluctuate.

Thank you for this very interesting info! I appreciate the breakdown of troop numbers.

I see "Springtime For The Democrats" as a perennial Broadway production. And none too soon.

I think you may be right about the splintering of the dems, but I think you may see a similar splintering of the Republican Party.

Right now the Republican Party is a fragile coalition of the social conservatives (spearheaded by the religious right), Second Amendment advocates, fiscal conservatives, hawks, and libertarians.

If they do not have a common enemy like the dems, the libertarians may well become a real political force. They have nothing in common with social conservatives and are split on military issues. They will value the second amendment and will agree with the fiscal conservatives on government spending and free market initiatives.

The libertarians (or any other third party) will have no chance as long as there are two dominant parties. With the former opposition splintered (balkanized to use your example), however, they may feel that they can appeal to the social liberals and civil libertarians in the former dem party as well as the fiscal conservatives and Second Amendment Advocates from the Republican Party.

Whacha think?
