It's because the average person is getting a clue that there is a whole lotta lying going on about George W. Bush.

I think they are sick of the anti-Christian globalist agenda of the leftist media.

Americans are also getting sick and tired of the lying, treasonous media too!

And a whole lotta people don't want Herman Munster for president.

This is what LEADERSHIP will get ya. Go W!

And most of the reason for Bush's rise in credibility? That total lack of a viable alternative displayed by John Kerry. Nothing offered so far even comes up to the level of what we are already doing. If Bush were so much deficient in the way the foreign and domestic crises are being handled, Kerry would be making easy inroads, and it just is not happening.

Lead, follow, or get the H*ll out of the way.

President Bush us a true leader. Awhile back I heard him say something that was passed over by the MSM. I honestly thought it is the key to why he is so hated.

He acknowledged that he knows he is President of ALL of the United States and that means that not every decision will please everyone. He is right about that, especially if you are a true blood conservative.

The left can't stand it that he takes their issues away from them. It is more than brilliant. It is what a President is supposed to do and "W" does it. I suspect that the next four years will be more conservative once he is re-elected.

I stand with the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

He is a first class leader and a true blue American Patriot.

In many ways he is all that stands between us and total worldwide chaos.

Finally. Today I let a leftist have it during a lunchtime discussion. I am no longer "Miss Nice Girl". I am tired of how my President is being projected and I'm tired of hearing the lies from the left about him and our mission in Iraq and against terrorism.

leftists have no facts. period.


Reply 21 - Posted by: Sydney727, 4/26/2004 10:35:21 PM

I admire and respect our President, George W. Bush and pray for him every day. Thank God for him. He IS all that is between us and worldwide chaos. The left wonders why the world hates us then they produce the spectacle they did on the weekend. They are as dangerous as the terrorists.

#17, what's a 'cruise board'?

If is's a chatroom where I can go and kick some Dim a$$, lemme at 'em!

Go, W!

If the country is divided 50/50 and there is 6 or 8 percent undecided how can that 6 or 8 feel comfortable voting for Lurch? I just don't see how Lurch gets the swing vote. I thank the good Lord everyday that President Bush is our president. If Lurch has learned anything over the past few months is this "DON"T MESS WITH TEXAS! God Bless President Bush!

I enjoy my morning read of Lucianne. I can then go to the houston.general news group and slaughter liberals and socialists on a daily basis. Any of you should be able to find a local news group in usenet that deals with politics or general info, and then let the people on those boards know the facts.

Be aware that the liberals/socialists will denegrate you personally because they cannot attack the message; all they have left is the messenger.

Hah! That giant squishing sound you hear is the DUHmocrats messing their wittle diapies. LOL!

The last liberal I talked to thought that we LOST the Gulf war! And that Bush went in to avenge is father, (as if this were a Hollywood movie).

Of course I had to give her a history lesson on Saddam and Sons, their billions for WMD, the science, and their M.O. to use them.

As with most liberals, when you give them facts, they say, "well, I don't follow politics like you do". And walk away in a huff.

Ask a liberal a few questions, and you will see how ignorant they are. Sad.


Reply 49 - Posted by: Hemwrongway, 4/27/2004 8:57:36 AM

I think Kerry will deflate Dem enthusiasm and many will not vote. I've got W taking PA OH FL and maybe, NJ. That's basically a landslide. Be afraid Osama!

My friend from the Seattle area was visiting last week-end. I asked her to tell me what she liked about Kerry and she replied, testily, that she was going to vote for Kerry and she didn't want to discuss it. She said she gets her news from Tom Brokaw and doesn't want to know anything more about what is happening.

#23 if you want to whup some lefty ass go to the Drudge Report. I hardly ever do (and never will again) because when I did the other day I saw some of the nastiest, anti-American screeds (screeches) that I've ever read from American and Euroweenie lefties in response to some article. Also Drudge had some absolutely vile anti-Bush t-shirts, etc. ads. The hysteria level is pretty much at maximum level.

What a privilege to be among the Ldot clan of bravehearts and patriots! W was/is an answer to prayer - the kind of answer a Good God places in front of His battles. When the righteous are in office, the people rejoice. Pray for PA - that God will be honered with a Senator that will honor Him.

Simple as this:

Imagine an attack upon the USA.

President Gore? Nope. Call Erin Brockovich.
President Kerry? Nope. Call Hanoi and France ASAP.

President Bush? DANG RIGHT, we'll be safe!!!

Semper Fi.

Its all about SECURITY Stupid!!!!

Regardless of his politics, many in this country admire a man who prays often and fervently, and truly loves his wife and family. W will be re-elected on the wings of our unceasing prayers.

Poster 51. #52 is right. There is another knockoff website called the Drudge RETORT, which is just mindless liberal hatred puke, like the DU. I found the same thing one time as I typed in www.Drudge.com and got sent there. You have to type in DrudgeReport or you'll get taken to the kook puke site.

You're living dangerously, # 50, hanging out with people who A) live in Seattle (born there, wouldn't live there now if someone paid me) and B) consider Brokaw / NBC a legitimate news source.

Have you taken sufficient precautions to innoculate yourself with anti-stupidity medicine so you avoid the disease these people carry?

''America always supports our leaders when we are under fire. This has been the most deadly and most tragic time in this tragic war. ''

Liberals,including the site pests here, do support or leaders and they are the real tragedy. All Liberals are GD liars and most of them should be tried for treason, especially our site pest.

2. Thanks for reminding me why we need to fight these people.
I'll be out there working hard for the Kerry campaign, and the Salazar campaign if I can't work for Kerry.

3. What has Kerry done to gain support?
But reality keeps intruding on Dubya -- and it may in a major way if the major offensive against Falluja really was launched today, or if it is in future.

4. Because the "ratings" and polls are shit
They are only necessary to promulgate the facade that the race is "close"...so that when they Diebold the election, we can all say.. "Shucks, we should have tried a teensy bit harder..it was soooo close".

5. Its a mad,mad,mad,mad,mad world
thats why....Well considering that the democrats are caught between a rock and a hard place on the war, having first supported it and now that it has gone so horribly wrong how do they recover from that initial support?

If the public is to be weaned from its belief that Bush is doing the right thing the dmeocrats must begin to speak up, loudly and constantly, just tell the freaking truth.

Heres a decent article on this subject:

Letter From Ground Zero
Truth and Politics
by Jonathan Schell

-----cut--------(worth reading the whole article,imo)

After the Congressional vote on the war, however, a peculiar thing happened. Kerry's political sails, far from filling with a fresh breeze, began to flap idly in the wind. Polls and pundits agreed: His nomination was dead in the water.

The action shifted elsewhere. For while opposition to a crazy war might not be a ticket to the White House, it was still good for something. It swelled a powerful popular movement. Huge demonstrations against the war took place in the United States, as they did throughout the world. In the time of Vietnam, antiwar sentiment propelled first Eugene McCarthy, then Robert Kennedy and later George McGovern into the forefront of Democratic politics. Now antiwar sentiment propelled Howard Dean into his brief moment of front-runnership. In the game of politics and truth, truth was sneaking in the back door. Suddenly, everyone was saying that the Democratic Party had recovered its energy, its "backbone."

But then came another surprising twist. A shrewd, or possibly over-shrewd, Democratic primary electorate, steaming with indignation against the war but apparently fearful of history's lesson that the antiwar man cannot win, shifted its allegiance from Dean to Kerry. All at once, the apparently political calculation that had underlain Kerry's vote for the war in the first place paid off, and he became the candidate.

Such is the archeology of the dilemma that Kerry and the Democratic Party face today. Their flip-flopping, which is real enough, is between the truth as they see it and politics as they know it to be. The party is an antiwar party that dares not speak its name. Its candidate is energized, but with a borrowed energy. He has a backbone, but it is a borrowed backbone.

The antiwar movement that has lent Kerry and his party this energy and this backbone faces a dilemma, too. On the one hand, it needs Kerry to win, even though he refuses to repent his vote to authorize the war. On the other hand, neither the movement nor Kerry can afford to let the antiwar energies that were and remain a principal source of their hopes and his die down. The movement must persist, independent of Kerry and keeping him or making him honest, yet not opposing him. If truth must be an exile from the mainstream of politics, let it thrive on the margins.
