The swift boat vets cannot afford such a campaign. The RNC and Bush-Cheney and any other allied group must saturate the country with these facts. Immediately.

With the 24-hr news cycle, an increasingly ignorant electorate and the conventional media actively pushing for Kerry, no longer even pretending to be objective, Kerry-Edwards disinformation takes root overnight

Where is the Bush-Cheney rapid-response team? Where is the rapid-response effort? Where is the offensive effort that could easily slash the feet from under this goon and his 'mate'?

Where are Bush's and Cheney's drive to win?

Where do Bush and Cheney demonstrate an understanding of the REAL STAKES in this election? (To watch them, one could easily conclude they believe losing is an acceptable option. If Cheney dropping out is what is required to ensure victory, then Cheney must go. If Cheney has any sense of this greater, collective loyalty to America, he will take himself out... (Stay in the adminimstration, but please, leave the ticket.)

The only loyalty relevant to the discussion is loyalty to the presidential oath. Will Bush be preserving, protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States if Kerry (and the terrorists) win?,

I'm not sure. The only thing I can hold out hope for is this:

.... "One final note on George W. Bush’s management style and his Harvard Business School background does not derive from the classroom, per se. One feature of life there is that a subculture of poker players exists. Poker is a natural fit with the inclinations, talents, and skills of many future entrepreneurs. A close reading of the odds, combined with the ability to out-psych the opposition, leads to capital accumulation in many fields, aside from the poker table.

By reputation, the President was a very avid and skillful poker player when he was an MBA student. One of the secrets of a successful poker player is to encourage your opponent to bet a lot of chips on a losing hand. This is a pattern of behavior one sees repeatedly in George W. Bush’s political career. He is not one to loudly proclaim his strengths at the beginning of a campaign. Instead, he bides his time, does not respond forcefully, a least at first, to critiques from his enemies, no matter how loud and annoying they get. If anything, this apparent passivity only goads them into making their case more emphatically.

Only time will tell, whether Saddam ever had any WMDs. Their non-existence has not been proven. Only time will tell whether or not Osama bin Laden (or his corpse) will be taken into custody by American Troops. Only time will tell whether or not Iraq will continue to make progress toward a transition toward a peaceful democratic government. George W. Bush knows much more information about these topics than his domestic political opponents do. At the moment, they are betting a lot of their chips on one side of these questions.

We will see by November who has the winning hand.

I hope G.W. and the Republicans have cards to play, because as you said very well, they are responding very poorly now. I think Bush has plenty of cards to play........ and is holding them until around the first week of October. I pray he has the cards. If he doesn't this country dies ...... even more than it already has!

Be well, Mia T. You are a luminous star.

The mainstream media is the most destructive force in this country. Each one of those movers and shakers involved in all the deception of the American people deserve an afterlife in the hot spot!
