Zef Chafets says:
“It is possible that no Democrat could beat Bush this year. The President has Ralph Nader on his side, and demography. Since the 2000 election, shifts in population have added seven electoral votes to the Red Bush states and subtracted seven from Goreland.
This alone might be enough to put Bush over the top in a tight race. But despite the polls, I don’t think this election will be close, and this time the Democratic establishment won’t be able to blame the Supreme Court. If they’re fair, they’ll blame themselves. Since this is politics, they’ll blame the candidate.
John Kerry is not a bad man. He probably wouldn’t make a bad President. But he is a bad candidate in a terrible situation. He represents the wing of the Democratic Party that is imbued with a sense of its own moral, intellectual, cultural and social superiority. In short, he is the standard bearer for the unbearable.
These people don’t comprise a majority of the electorate or even Democratic voters (how could they and remain an elite?), but they have convinced themselves that they and their candidate — if packaged properly — will prove irresistibly attractive to lesser Americans.”
As I said, I’m a partisan drawn to the positive aspects of George Bush’s presidency. It’s encouraging to see more and more liberals coming to the logical conclusion: Bush is the better man for the job.
Amen.
La Shawn, you are busy posting this morning:)

You’ve hit on a couple of the things that so badly turn me against Kerry & Co. That ‘WE will take care of you since you can’t’ attitude, is one, and the making of idiot statements that they think noone will challenge or disbelieve. Kerry’s statement about ‘crawling on his stomach’ hunting deer, for example; someone who’s never hunted may believe that makes him a hunter, anyone who has knows he’s full of crap, but he expects us to believe it.

I also think Bush will be reelected, but for a different reason, which has to do with who Bush really is, not how the media or the Democrats try to portray him. See my post on my blog for my reasons.

Zev Chavets? Who’s he? I admit in my liberal past, I never really followed the who’s who’s. Am I also right in sensing that there is a shift in the media about their approach to Kerry? Or is it wishful thinking?
I told my hubby about the hunter statement and he just rolled his eyes. The more he hears about what Kerry is saying these days, the more irritated he becomes. Hubby was in the army for about 9 years (and was in Gulf War I) so he’s more than acquainted with guns. Anyone who has even half common sense knows that deer don’t stand still waiting to be shot - they will move in every direction at hearing a single unfamiliar noise. Someone crawling on their belly will be making lots, lots, and lots of noise.

Great line!!!
Instinctively, I feel the same way as you do, yet I got these nagging voices inside my head telling me Kerry is going to pull an upset

Where the elite meet for defeat
John Kerry, says New York Daily News columnist Zev Chafetz, is “the captive of the overbearing, elitist wing of his party,” and as such, is sure to lose: John Kerry…

It is so amazing how people are about this election. Everyone is so sure who will win. Heck, it is as if there is one fill in the blank blog or article and you put in who you want to win. Each side also has there own sets of stats and members of the opposition party who are crossing over. This election is so far from decided, and I have come to the conclusion that all of the “Bush will win” and “Kerry will win” statements have nothing to do with reality other than wishful thinking.
I have never seen such partisanship ever. Each side has completely different sets of facts, and the only retort is blaming the other as being biased. Kind of syllogistic, but even more so, just plain silly.
Yeesh!

I’m most concerned about Hollywood very visible influence in this election.
I heard on WTOP that there were more Micheal Moore type flicks coming out. After listening to may people talk about the Fahrenheit movie, it becomes clear to me that people are not questioning what they see. They are taking these thing as truth. Scary stuff!

“It’s encouraging to see more and more liberals coming to the logical conclusion: Bush is the better man for the job.”
But what conclusion should conservatives draw?

I’m glad you have your own laughing gas supply, JJ. I’ve been having to inhale(just like Clinton didn’t) way too much lately. And Michael Moore has the audacity to say that Repubs aren’t funny and have no sense of humor. He can kiss my patootie.

I don’t think this election will be close..
I get the same feeling….middle class Americans i.e. “the majority” are smarter than the Democrats give us credit for and we don’t like a campaign based on hate, innuendos and conspiracy theories.

Michael Moore visited our campus in Detroit, Michigan the other day and was encouraging kids to go out and “vote” ( for Kerry that is). He orated like Hitler and blabbed like a slob calling on to people to defeat G. Bush. He responded to the pro-Bush demonstrators by saying that he’ll “let them rally because liberals accept all opposing view points”. I didn’t quite understand that comment - did he want a thank you card for “letting them ” peacefully demonstrate or is that just a small right granted to them by our good old Mr. constitution. What acceptance of view points? View points from the communist manifesto? I don’t know about accepting all view points because while he was making fun of the demonstrators and telling them that “they’re wasting their time” -his supporters were shouting, cursing, and threatening to beat the pro-Bush people. To get an idea about what kind of people he attracted to his silly little speech…I over heard an argument between a demonstrator and a Moore fan. The demonstrator pointed out a possible reoccurrence of 9/11 and the Moore fan shouted back and said “what about it?- they’re not coming after me- they never hurt me!” No joke- that’s the kind of ignorance Moore feeds on and he takes his check and laughs all the way to the bank! He continued to shout and speech about how those people ( demonstrators) are ignorant and that there are only a small percentage of them in our society who disagree with him ( No MOORE, HOLLYWOOD DOES NOT COUNT AS THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION). It’s funny how any one could actually take this guy seriously- he told students to go out and “buy” his DVDs . To make sure everyone has a copy in their homes to spread the word about the rich taking over the poor. This is coming from a guy who lives in a 10million dollar apartment in upper Manhattan. GIVE ME A Break! As a former Iraqi citizen ( a Christian minority in the north)- I’m disgusted to see how liberals are reacting to free the Iraqi people. If they claim to be such humanitarians - why do they oppose the liberation from a totalitarian regime and a tyrant who killed thousands of men, women, children, minorities, and even members of his own family. People WAKE UP AND SMELL THE THREAT- THIS IS NOT A SITUATION TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY TERRORIST WANT YOU DEAD OR CONVERTED !

Hi-
I just want to respond to the comments made by Hiba above me. All I can say is wow! Praise God for people like you. Hiba I 100 percent agree with everything that you said. Michael Moore is a walking contradiction. These Liberals take terrorism so lightly and always oppose any proposals to fight terrorism. Then when something happens like a terrorist attack, they are the CRIERS and always blame people like President Bush for not doing enough.
I urge everyone out there to pray for President Bush that he will be reelected on November 2, 2004.
