Sorry about that...in my ranting I wasn't bright enough to stop and clarify that part. Do NOT vote for Kerry.

The point of that post was to not vote for Hillary though

vote for Kerry

Sorry to correct you, but I think you meant that Hilary would want Bush to win, not Kerry. If Kerry wins, he's automatically the incumbant 4 years from now. If Bush wins, Hilary can run in 2008. I really don't believe it's conicidence that Bill's book stole the thunder of Kerry. The Clinton's want Bush to win so badly they can't stand it, but only for selfish reasons, not because they actually like Bush. I'll tell you this, if Bush wins (and he will), Condaleezza Rice will step up to match Hilary if Hilary happens to make it through the primaries. Although it makes no difference to me the gender, I truely don't believe it's a woman's time in office quite yet. I give it another 12-20 years.

The democratic convention has been on for the last 2 days now and the ratings are extremely low. In other words, no one wants to hear their lies. Of course, the republican convention won't be rated high either, but that's because we already have office.

It was reported yesterday that Bush's "consumer confidence" (or in other words, his approval rating) is the highest it's been in 2 years and is steadily increasing. Sounds like good news to me.

Also, my dad told me this today (he's 100x the political mind that I am). He said that all the democrats that have been complaining about never finding WMDs aren't paying attention to the facts. It's been documented (although I haven't seen them yet, I'll search later) that we found enough chemical weapons in Iraq that would kill over 500,000 people. If that's not potential mass destruction, then what the fuck is? Bush will probably use this for his debates when Kerry tries to attack him about pre-emptive strikes on Iraq.

The great thing about all of this is Bush may win by more than 10% of the vote, which would be enourmously high for this day and age. Plus, it doesn't help Kerry that Nader will take votes away from him. This has been a good day. I love the democratic convention and watching these guys shoot themselves right in the foot. It's all but over now even though I never had doubts anyway.

Yea, and then let them bomb us, and show us what it mens to kill an Iraqi, Go Osama!

If we kept fucking with them, they're going to keep doing the same to us.




I wonder what sucks more tho, being killed instantly by an explosion, or getting your head slowly cut off.

Don't you mean the other side's propoganda?

Besides, most people know what the conventions really are - glorified ceremonies of anointment for a party's champion to go forth and slay the vile, evil other side. Or, in short, meaningless fluff.




Consumer confidence != approval rating.

If I remember my economics right, consumer confidence is representative of a person's willingness to spend their money. Still, it is good news for the Bush camp given one of the Democratic planks is going to be the economic situation. The only downside could be oil prices - it is closing on $42 a barrel (a record high) and doesn't appear to be ready to drop anytime soon.



Let me know when you find that link, I'd like to read that report. But it's a bit strange that the more conservative media outlets haven't reported on it. This would be the time to reveal such information - it would justify the invasion and steal Kerry's thunder during his glory moment.



Still three months to go - can't call it over yet. Just ask Thomas Dewey. He was favored in every poll going into election day in 1948. I'm sure you've seen the pic of the Chicago Daily Tribune claiming "Dewey Defeats Truman."

It's very doubtful either candidate would win by that much of a margin.

Alpmaster - easily getting your head cut off. They don't cut it off cleanly, they saw at it so it will hurt. A LOT.

I'd rather lose 20 civilians, if it means killing 200 of them. The way things are going, it's close to those numbers...if not WAY more. You don't fight madmen by leaving them alone and turning your head away. You need to take the fight to them knowing you will lose some servicemen. It's a tragedy, but they signed up for the job, and they're doing it damn good. We are the most powerful nation of fighters on the planet. Keep em' coming and watch our boys blast em' back to the stone age with their dumb asses.
Plus, we're a powerhouse. If we need to fuck with them to gain their country independence, then they're going to have to deal with it, or they'll be wiped out.

I haven't looked for a link yet, mrmarcus (I just got up and I'm late for work ), but I don't think it's going to be a major issue until Bush can get Kerry one on one for the world to see, and that's when you'll see all of the information come out. Besides, Kerry already knows all of this, but it's the only thing he's got against Bush that gives him any chance of winning. If Kerry came into the debates and said, "You know what? Going into Iraq did happen to be the right thing to do", then it's game over for the democrats.

Also, Kerry is ahead in the majority of the polls right now (even this thread's), but that's normal for the new nominee to have a lot of thunder right out of the gate. History has shown us that it doesn't mean anything and actually, Kerry has already had the second largest drop off in the estimated polls percentage wise in the last 28 years.

As for the oil, that's a beast that can't be stopped no matter who's in office. As everyone well knows, Bush wants our Alaskan oil... but we all know what the deal is there (damn environmentalists). Do you know what our gas prices would be if we could hack into our own oil? Probabaly at least half of what they are now.

As for the "propoganda vs lies" debate, the shit Bill Clinton said were lies big time, especially the part about the tax cuts and how he claimed that the lower-middle class are the ones that paid for him to get his money back. Uh, last time I checked, everyone has been eligible to get their money back so long as they fill out their W2s. Then listening to Ben Affleck saying that he got $1.5 million back in taxes, but that it's pointless because he doesn't need the money so the tax cuts are stupid is just the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why does he need the government to tell him what to do with it? There's a reason the tax cuts were put in place, it's so that Americans can spend that extra money how they see fit, so Affleck should take that money that he doesn't need and give it to a program or charity, that's the beauty of thinking for yourself and being independant and in fact, it'd make him look like a good guy if he did it out of the kindness of his heart.

Take your time. Don't break yourself over a minor political debate.




Right, because it vindicates the administration's justifications. Which is why they need to pull it out this week. There's usually a post-convention bounce in polls; that sort of information stops any post-convention momentum cold. It would destroy part of the Democratic platform and have the party scrambling to find something to attack with. If the Demos were in confusion the month leading into the Republican Convention, the momentum swing would be significant. Tactically, waiting for a debate is not the right move.




Refer "Dewey v. Truman".




Unknown actually. I doubt they would drop to half simply because of the difficulty of drilling and equiment maintenance in a cold-weather environment. Besides, this spike belongs to the Russians:

From Reuters - Russian Oil Giant YUKOS ordered to stop sales

The government is trying to get over 3 billion in back taxes.




I think he was referring to percentages, as per the chart I linked to a few pages back.




Wouldn't make him any better of an actor though.

Seriously, that is a dumb quote. It's also typical Democratic election strategy - playing to the middle and the masses down in the bottom of the tax brackets painting the rich elite as the ones controlling the goverment. Just this time they used a talking head.

What they don't say is both sides typically get donations from large companies (I remember reading that both Microsoft and Wal-Mart donated heavily to Gore and Bush in 2000) which makes neither having clean hands in the fiscal exchange.

Until the flatten the tax rate to be fair and equal to everyone, somebody's going to be whining about it.

I also thought some more on your mention of Nader. Nader this year does not have the support he had in 2000. The Green party have aligned behind Kerry (oddly enough) and even their CANDIDATE has urged Green voters to vote for Kerry. As an independent he loses a great deal of the support and backing the Greens gave him in 2000. He may not be as big an influence as expected.


And Witch King - If you don't have anything relevant to add to the discussion.... stop trolling and STFU. Please.

anyway,




But why did we need to "fuck" with them in the first place. Don't tell me "just because we can" or some shit like that. Why are we getting into their business. If they don't have independence, or want it so badly, let them deal with it and get it themselves. We didn't have to stick are head in where it didn't belong.


IF that were even the case.

Kerry, because bush needs to be kicked

Bush, we need more economic growth and more with the war. Some people don't understand that he is in this war to protect us Americans in the future. We need to stop things before they start.

I love how people who don't know politics or don't have facts will vote for Kerry. It's true what the media has been saying, Kerry is the lazy man's leader. I don't think people who want Kerry just because they don't want Bush realize the economic and political suicide that will come of it. Even a significant percentage of democrats don't want him in. People, Bush is not doing that badly. His economy is steadily rising and he's keeping taxes low, plus other nations have dismantled weapons over to us and he liberated a country by capturing a world-threatening leader, plus Bin Ladin will pop up in our custody soon (you watch). Well over half the country is in support of the job Bush has done. And let's even be realisitic, he's going to be re-elected by probably a significantly large margin, so get used to him, folks. He's doing a really nice job... not great, but not a bad one.

You're probably not going to see a democrat in office for the next 16-20 years. Of course that's just an educated guess, but the country is swinging conservative and rapidly. Thank goodness, too.
