As I said, you have to look at reality.

Do you really want Kerry as president?

Haven't conservatives learned anything after they succeeded in electing Clinton for 8 years, to "show Bush I". Well, you surely showed it to him.

Suggest reading Alan Keyes's statement, whose conservatives credentials can't be called into question.

Alan Keyes comes out in support of President Bush, denounces Democrats, "our survival is at stake!"

COLMES: We continue with Alan Keyes. Ambassador Keyes, as a fiscal conservative, as a true conservative yourself, do you have some problems with the spending of this administration?

KEYES: Oh, I sure do--and I wouldn't want to give the impression that I don't have other problems with this administration on some areas where I think that the president has fallen short of the kinds of things that I really think are needed in some areas.

But I also wouldn't want to give the impression that I think that anything can be more decisive for the American people right now than the question of our national survival in the face of the most insidious threat this nation has ever faced.

In the face of that, I think a lot of us are going to be putting our other issues behind those issues that have to do with the survival of this nation in wartime.

PS. My tagline is absolutely true.

You weren't around here for the runup to the 2000 election. During late 1999 and right up until election day, the opposition to GWBush`s candidacy on FR was intense. Leading the way outside the GOP were the "Buchannites" and the "libertarians". Not far behind them, but from within the GOP, were the "Keyesters". If you want to talk about hardcore rightwing fanatics, you only have to look at these three extremist candidacies to understand what we Bush supporters were up against. The Keyesters got most of my attention and the flame wars were some of the most famous in the annuals of FR.

Looking at Alan Keyes remarks this time around, its quite obvious that he supports the reelection of the Bush-Cheney ticket. In fact, I believe Pat Buchanan will be voting for PresBush. The "Libertarians" are a differenbt stroy, but only consitute less then 1/2% of all voters. The conservatives are with the President. Stop trying to blow this rightwing opposition to Bush`s reelection in 2004, all out of proportion.

"[W]hile there are the occasional dissenters speaking out from the rightwings anti-Bush contingent, I don't see the same level of serious opposition we Bush supporters encountered back in 1999 and 2000. I haven't experienced the same level of widespread vitriol coming from the rightwings vocal group of malcontents, misfits and militants. OTOH, there does seem to be more inflitrators this time around coming in from the Democrats wacko leftwing.

The fight remains with the Democrats who advance the liberal agenda and their endless attempts to employ pure propaganda to discredit the President, denounce the economic recovery and undermine the war effort. With their crazed rhetoric, the liberal establishment is making every effort to appeal to the paranoids and sickos in our society. Rational folk will reject this effort at every opportunity. Hang on though, its gonna be a bumpy ride on a rough road to victory."
