June 16, 2006 - WASHINGTON  — House lawmakers rejected a timetable to withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq on Friday in a Republican push to put war positions on the record.

The House passed a nonbinding resolution in a 256-153 vote that would praise U.S. troops, link the Iraq war to the global War on Terror and reject an "arbitrary date for the withdrawal or redeployment" for not being in the national interest.

"Today, the House of Representatives voted to stand up for freedom. We are pleased that 42 Democrats defied their leadership and stood with House Republicans to support both our troops and their mission to win the global War on Terror," House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said in a statement.

Forty-two Democrats voted for the resolution and three Republicans voted against it.

"I will vote against this resolution because it is an affirmation of the president's failed policy in Iraq," said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, democrat-Calif. "The war in Iraq has been a grotesque mistake .. stay the course? I don't think so, Mr. President."

The House passed a nonbinding resolution in a 256-153 vote that would praise U.S. troops, link the Iraq war to the global War on Terror and reject an “arbitrary date for the withdrawal or redeployment” for not being in the national interest.

Gustavo Garcia (aka: Gustavo Rayes, aka: Gustavo Rayes Garcia)

The case of Gustavo Garcia (aka: Gustavo Rayes, aka: Gustavo Rayes Garcia), an illegal immigrant driver, who allegedly killed a Mount Juliet, TN., couple while fleeing police became an issue in the governor’s race Monday.

State Sen. Jim Bryson, a Republican gubernatorial hopeful, and Heather Lynn Steffek, daughter of the couple killed in the June 8 crash, criticized .......

 
democrat Gov. Phil Bredesen’s 

............ opposition to having Tennessee Highway Patrol officers enforce federal immigration law.

Sen. Bryson, R-Franklin, accused democrat Gov. Bredesen of "leadership failure" for blocking a bill this year that would have required federal training in immigration law for some patrol officers.

"I will be talking a lot about this issue," Sen. Bryson said. "It will be a part of our platform, and we will have the most stringent illegal immigration policy in America. It’s too important an issue to ignore. Lives are literally at stake."

Prior to Sen. Bryson’s news conference, Gov. Bredesen said he did not want to turn the Highway Patrol into an arm of the federal Immigration and Naturalization Service.

"I think doing that’s just trying to make political hay out of a difficult problem," he said.

Earlier this month, according to news accounts, Donna and Sean Wilson died when a vehicle driven by illegal immigrant Gustavo Garcia, 28, crashed into the couple’s car as he sought to elude police. He faces vehicular homicide charges.

"No one should ever have to feel this way," said Ms. Steffek, the Wilsons’ daughter. "Part of the shock of this tragedy is learning there are simply no laws in place at the local or state levels to aid deportation of a serial criminal who is an illegal alien.

"Those local and state governments let my family down," she said.

Nashville’s City Paper reported Mr. Garcia had four previous DUIs among 17 police encounters that began in 2001. The encounters included a May 21, 2001, speeding ticket issued by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, Tennessee Safety Department spokeswoman Julie Oaks said.

Subsequent encounters included assaulting a police officer, but federal immigration authorities appear not to have been notified.

"I think clearly something broke down in the system where somebody could be arrested as many times as this person apparently was and federal authorities not be informed," Gov. Bredesen said.

Bredesen campaign spokesman Will Pinkston said in a statement that Sen. Bryson was "trying to exploit what is obviously a tragic situation."

Sen. Bryson said Ms. Steffek initially contacted him.

At least two states, Alabama and Florida, have entered into agreements with the federal government to enforce federal immigration law.

Sen. Bryson vowed to require local governments to enforce immigration law.

Larry Goodwin, president of the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police, urged Sen. Bryson to reconsider.

Here are the song’s lyrics, so you can rap along when you hear it in the elevator:

You know it's hard out here for a pimp (you ain't knowin)

In my eyes I done seen some crazy thangs in the streets
Gotta couple ho’s workin on the changes for me
But I gotta keep my game tight like Kobe on game night
Like takin from a ho don't know no better, I know that ain't right
Done seen people killed, done seen people deal
Done seen people live in poverty with no meals
It's f*cked up where I live, but that's just how it is
It might be new to you, but it's been like this for years
It's blood sweat and tears when it come down to this sh*t

That's the way the game goes, gotta keep it strictly pimpin
Gotta have my hustle tight, makin change off these women, yeah

02-12-6006: Al Gore goes to Saudi Arabia (home of most of the 911 murderers) and bashes America !
"..the U.S. government committed terrible abuses against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001" - Al Gore, Feb 12, 2006

                 TRAITOR!

The 7th Jedda Economic Forum; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia -- 02-12-2006: 
Former Vice-President (and losing Presidential candidate) Al Gore told a Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.

The swarmy Gore said Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. The bitter loser (who didn't even carry his home state in losing the 2000 Presidential election) said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.

"The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake," Gore (who was vice-president in the administration that did nothing to get Bin Laden after the USS Cole attack or the FIRST World Trade Center bombing) said during the Jeddah Economic Forum. "The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."

Gore told the largely Saudi (the home of 16 of the 19 911 hijackers) audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."

"Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong," AlGore (the sore-loser) said. "I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."

Mary Jo Kopechne

If it were not for Ted Kennedy, she would have been 65 years of age by now

Read about her and her killer:
When Sen. Ted Kennedy was merely just another Democrat bloating on Capitol Hill on behalf of liberal causes, it was perhaps excusable to ignore his deplorable past.

But now that he's become a leading Republican attack-dog, positioning himself as Washington's leading arbiter of truth and integrity, the days for such indulgence are now over.

It's time  to stand up and remind America why this chief democrat spokesman had to abandon his own presidential bid in 1980 - time to say the words "Mary Jo Kopechne" out loud.

As is often the case, Republicans have deluded themselves into thinking that most Americans already know the story of how this "Conscience of the Democratic Party" left Miss Kopechne behind to die in the waters underneath the Edgartown Bridge in July 1969, after a night of drinking and partying with the young blonde campaign worker. But most Americans under 40 have never heard that story, or details of how Kennedy swam to safety, then tried to get his cousin Joe Garghan to say he was behind the wheel.

Those young voters don't know how Miss Kopechne, trapped inside Kennedy's Oldsmobile, gasped for air until she finally died, while the Democrats' leading Iraq war critic rushed back to his compound to formulate the best alibi he could think of.

Neither does Generation X know how Kennedy was thrown out of Harvard on his ear 15 years earlier -- for paying a fellow student to take his Spanish final. Or why the US Army denied him a commission because he cheated on tests.

As they listen to the Democrats' "Liberal Lion" accuse President Bush of "telling lie after lie after lie" to get America to go to war in Iraq, young voters don't know about that notorious 1991 Easter weekend in Palm Beach when Uncle Teddy rounded up his nephews for a night on the town, an evening that ended with one of them credibly accused of rape.

It's time for Republicans to state unabashedly that they will no longer "go along with the gag" when it comes to Uncle Ted's rants about deception and moral turpitude inside the Bush White House.

And if the Republicans don't, let's do it ourselves by passing this forgotten disgrace around the Internet to wake up memories of what a fraud and fake Teddy really is.

The Democratic Party should be ashamed to have the national disgrace from Massachusetts as their spokesman.

Iraq [is] a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists, drug traffickers or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed. If we fail to respond today, Saddam, and all those who would follow in his footsteps, will be emboldened tomorrow by the knowledge that they can act with impunity... Some day, some way, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal." 

"[Saddam] will develop, deploy and use WMD." —Bill Clinton 

Vice President Albert Gore: "Saddam's ability to produce and deliver weapons of mass destruction poses a grave threat... to the security of the world." 

Madeleine Albright, Clinton Secretary of State: "We must stop Saddam from ever again jeopardizing the stability and the security of his neighbors with weapons of mass destruction... Iraq is a long way from Ohio, but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risk that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." 

Sandy Berger , Clinton National Security Advisor and Plea-Copping Classified Document Thief: "[Saddam will] use those weapons of mass destruction again as he has ten times since 1983." 

"[Saddam] is too dangerous to be given carte blanche with WMD." —Harry Reid 


Harry Reid : "The problem is not nuclear testing; it is nuclear weapons... The number of Third World countries with nuclear capabilities seems to grow daily. Saddam Hussein's near success with developing a nuclear weapon should be an eye-opener for us all. [Saddam] is too dangerous of a man to be given carte blanche with weapons of mass destruction." 

John Kerry: "If you don't believe...Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me." 

John Edwards : "Serving on the Intelligence Committee and seeing day after day, week after week, briefings on Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and his plans on using those weapons, he cannot be allowed to have nuclear weapons, it's just that simple. The whole world changes if Saddam ever has nuclear weapons." 

Dick Durbin : "One of the most compelling threats we in this country face today is the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Threat assessments regularly warn us of the possibility that...Iraq...may acquire or develop nuclear weapons. [Saddam's] chemical and biological weapons capabilities are frightening." 

"[Saddam's] chemical and biological weapons capabilities are frightening." —Dick Durban 


Nancy Pelosi : "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology, which is a threat to countries in the region, and he has made a mockery of the weapons-inspection process." 

Senators. Levin, Lieberman, Lautenberg, Dodd, Kerry, Feinstein, Mikulski, Daschle, Breaux, Johnson, Inouye, Landrieu, Ford and Kerry in a letter to Bill Clinton : "We urge you, after consulting with Congress and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions, including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." 

Here's what Democrats were saying in advance of Operation Iraqi Freedom: 

Harry Reid: "Saddam has thumbed his nose at the world community and I think the President is approaching this in the right fashion." 

Ted Kennedy: "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." 

"Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." —Ted Kennedy 

John Kerry : "I will be voting to give the president of the U.S. the authority to use force if necessary to disarm Saddam because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security... Without question we need to disarm Saddam Hussein... These weapons represent an unacceptable threat." 

Hillary Clinton : "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological-weapons stock, his missile-delivery capability, his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists including al-Qa'ida members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons... I can support the President because I think it is in the long-term interests of our national security." 

Nancy Pelosi: "Hussein has chemical and biological weapons, there is no question about that." 

Nancy Pelosi: "Saddam Hussein certainly has chemical and biological weapons, there is no question about that."

The obvious incompetence of democrat-controlled Louisiana in handling the Katrina disaster.

Kathleen Blanco

(She ignored the President’s warning.)

The Democrat Mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin also ignored warnings to force evacuations.

The people of New Orleans were told that if they failed to evacuate, there would be no one to rescue them. (They chose to stay and then bitched & whined about their plight.)

The anti-bush media and other democrats blamed Bush and FEMA for not acting quickly.
They conveniently ignored the fact that FEMA is NOT a first responder. The federal agency responds AFTER a disaster – NOT before. The local government are supposed to be the First Responder!

Look how many hurricanes hit Florida and look how well they respond to hurricanes.

Cindy Sheehan
(The new face of the Democrat party)

We're sorry your son was killed, but he voluntarily joined.
I can still disagree with your statements.

She has used her son's death to promote her anti-Bush agenda.
I believe she is Anti-American.
She's mad at Bush for sending her son to fight terrorism. 
   (Why is she not mad at the Islamic Terrorists who actually killed her son??)
Does losing her son give her the right to control our military?
Peace at any cost! (even if that means our freedom!?!?!?!?)

Statements credited to Cindy Sheehan:

• We are not waging a war on terror in this country. We’re waging a war of terror. 
• The biggest terrorist in the world is George W. Bush.
• America has been killing people since we first stepped on this continent, 
  we have been responsible for death and destruction.
• Pull the troops out of “Occupied New Orleans.
• This isn’t about politics, this is about what is good for America.
• I see a revolution coming.
• I pay no taxes.
• We are waging a nuclear war in Iraq right now. That country is contaminated. 
  It will be contaminated for practically eternity now.
• My son was killed for lies and a PNAC Neo Con agenda to benefit Israel.
• Sometimes, I just feel like bashing my head against the wall until I'm unconscious, 
  but I can't, because you've got to keep fighting. The stakes are too high.
• If anybody had just come out and said in the mainstream media that there's no reason for this war, my son might be alive. Since the invasion, I think it's getting worse. The mainstream media has become a propaganda tool for the administration.
• I take responsibility partly for my son’s death, too. I was raised in a country by a public school system that taught us that America was good, that America was just. America has been killing people, like my sister over here says, since we first stepped on this continent, we have been responsible for death and destruction. I passed on that bullsh*t to my son and my son enlisted. 
  I’m going all over the country telling moms: This country is not worth dying for. 
  If we’re attacked, we would all go out. We’d all take whatever we had. I’d take my rolling pin and I’d beat the attackers over the head with it. But we were not attacked by Iraq. We might not even have been attacked by Osama bin Laden if..... 9/11 was their Pearl Harbor to get their neo-con agenda through and, if I would have known that before my son was killed, I would have taken him to Canada. I would never have let him go and try and defend this morally repugnant system we have. The people are good, the system is morally repugnant.

June 18, 2005

The White House, Senate Republicans and others had called for an apology after Dick Durbin's comments Tuesday.

Dickhead Durbin made the statements below after reading an FBI agent's report describing detainees at the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as being chained to the floor without food or water in extreme temperatures.

A real DICK.. Durbin (D)-Ill

"If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings," Dick Durbin, Tuesday, 06-14-2005. 

"Thank you Illinois for showing us how stupid the blue states are for voting the way they do." - (FORMERdemocrat.com Webmaster)

Open Letter to Durbin:

Senator Durbin,

As one who was held in a North Vietnamese Prison for nearly seven years and whose definition of torture and bad treatment is somewhat at variance with yours, I deplore your senseless comments about alleged "barbaric treatment" at our terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo.

Your remarks comparing Guantanamo to the regimes of Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot are outrageous. I tried to think of why a rational human being could make such an outlandish statement but I keep coming up short. I thought I'd seen it all when Howard Dean performed his infamous scream in Iowa but your diatribe yesterday eclipsed Dean's moment of Hannibal Lecter lunacy. And your moment of pique will be infinitely more damaging to members of our Armed Forces serving in harm's way.

I noted, when searching for your contact information, that the first item Google came up with was al Jazeera's joy at your comments. You, sir, for having aided and abetted the enemy in time of war, have been relegated in my mind to the status of Jane Fonda and your colleague, John Kerry as contemptible traitors.

I hope not too many of our valiant members of the Armed Forces have to suffer for your stupid comments. Shame on you.

Sincerely,
Paul E. Galanti
Commander, U.S. Navy (Ret.)

"... a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle." --Winston Churchill

SOCIAL SECURITY:

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary,
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,
3.) That the money the participants elected to out into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year,
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent "Trust Fund" rather than into the General operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program, and,
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income.

Since those who have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month -- are finding that they are getting taxed on 85% of the money they paid to the Federal government to "put away," you may be interested in the following:

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent "Trust" fund and put it into the General fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the Democratically-controlled House and Senate.


Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democrat Party.

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the "tie-breaking" deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the U.S.

Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? (MY FAVORITE)
A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive SSI Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they
never paid a dime into it! Then, after doing all this lying and thieving and violation of the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is, uninformed citizens believe it!

If enough people see this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.

Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession, but it now bears a very close resemblance to the first.

.. a Coalition program has cleared over 14,000 kilometers of Iraq's 27,000 kilometers of weed-choked canals which now irrigate tens of thousands of farms. This project has created jobs for more than 100,000 Iraqi men and women. 

.. we have restored over three-quarters of prewar telephone services and over two-thirds of the potable water production. 

.. there are 4,900 full-service telephone connections. We expect 50,000 by year-end. 

.. the wheels of commerce are turning. From bicycles to satellite dishes to cars and trucks, businesses are coming to life in all major cities and towns. 

.. 95 percent of all prewar bank customers have service and first-time customers are opening accounts daily. 

.. Iraqi banks are making loans to finance businesses. 

.. the central bank is fully independent. 

.. Iraq has one of the worlds most growth-oriented investment and banking laws. 

.. Iraq has a single, unified currency for the first time in 15 years.

.. there is no Ministry of Information. 

.. there are more than 170 newspapers. 

.. you can buy satellite dishes on what seems like every street corner. 

.. foreign journalists (and everyone else) are free to come and go. 

.. a nation that had not one single element - legislative, judicial or executive - of a representative government, now does. 

... in Baghdad alone residents have selected 88 advisory councils. Baghdad's first democratic transfer of power in 35 years happened when the city council elected its new chairman. 

.. today in Iraq chambers of commerce, business, school and professional organizations are electing their leaders all over the country. 

.. 25 ministers, selected by the most representative governing body in Iraq's history, run the day-to-day business of government. 

.. the Iraqi government regularly participates in international events. Since July the Iraqi government has been represented in over two dozen international meetings, including those of the UN General Assembly, the Arab League, the World Bank and IMF and, today, the Islamic Conference Summit. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs today announced that it is reopening over 30 Iraqi embassies around the world. 

.. Shia religious festivals that were all but banned, aren't. 

.. for the first time in 35 years, in Karbala thousands of Shiites celebrate the pilgrimage of the 12th Imam. 

.. the Coalition has completed over 13,000 reconstruction projects, large and small, as part of a strategic plan for the reconstruction of Iraq. 

.. Uday and Queasy are dead - and no longer feeding innocent Iraqis to the zoo lions, raping the young daughters of local leaders to force cooperation, torturing Iraq's soccer players for losing games, or murdering critics. 

.. children aren't imprisoned or murdered when their parents disagree with the government. 

.. political opponents aren't imprisoned, tortured, executed, maimed, or are forced to watch their families die for disagreeing with Saddam. 

.. millions of longsuffering Iraqis no longer live in perpetual terror. 

.. Saudis will hold municipal elections. 

.. Qatar is reforming education to give more choices to parents. 

.. Jordan is accelerating market economic reforms. 

.. the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded for the first time to an Iranian — a Muslim woman who speaks out with courage for human rights, for democracy and for peace. 

.. Saddam is gone. 

.. Iraq is free. 

.. President Bush has not faltered or failed. 

.. Yet, little or none of this information has been published by the Press corps that prides itself on bring you all the news that's important. 

Iraq under US lead control has come further in six months than Germany did in seven years or Japan did in nine years following WWII. Military deaths from fanatic Nazi's, and Japanese numbered in the thousands and continued for over three years after WWII victory was declared. 

It took the US over four months to clear away the twin tower debris, let alone attempt to build something else in its place. 

Now, take into account that almost every Democrat leader in the House and Senate has fought President Bush on every aspect of his handling of this country's war and the post-war reconstruction; and that they continue to claim on a daily basis on national TV that this conflict has been a failure. 

Taking everything into consideration, even the unfortunate loss of our sons and daughters in this conflict, do you think anyone else in the world could have accomplished as much as the United States and the Bush administration in so short a period of time?

Did you know that 96% of Iraqi children under the age of 5 have received the first 2 series of polio vaccinations? 

Did you know that 4.3 million Iraqi children were enrolled in primary school by mid October? 

Did you know that there are 1,192,000 cell phone subscribers in Iraq and phone use has gone up 158%? 

Did you know that Iraq has an independent media that consist of 75 radio stations, 180 newspapers and 10 television stations? 

Did you know that the Baghdad Stock Exchange opened in June of 2004? 

Did you know that 2 candidates in the Iraqi presidential election had a recent televised debate recently? 

OF COURSE WE DIDN'T KNOW! 

WHY DIDN'T WE KNOW? OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US! 

Because a Bush-hating media and Democratic Party would rather see the world blow up than lose their power. 

Instead of shouting these accomplishments from every rooftop, they would rather show photos of what a few perverted malcontent soldiers have done in prisons in many cases never disclosing the circumstances surrounding the events. 

Instead of showing our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at presidential motorcades. 

The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves only one purpose. It undermines the world's perception of the United States and our soldiers. 

I AM ASHAMED OF MY FELLOW AMERICANS WHO WOULD RATHER SEE TERRORISM SUCCEED THAN A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT.

A tourist walked into a curio shop in San Francisco. Looking around at the
exotica, he noticed a very lifelike, life-sized bronze statue of a rat.
It had no price tag, but it was so striking he decided he must have it.
He took it to the counter. "How much for the bronze rat?"
"Twelve dollars for the rat, one hundred dollars for the story," the owner said.
The tourist gave the shop owner twelve dollars. "I'll take the rat. You
can keep the story."

As he walked down the street carrying the rat, he soon noticed that a few
real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began following
him. This was disconcerting, so he began walking faster. But within a
couple of blocks, the herd of rats behind him had grown to hundreds, and
they began squealing. He began to trot toward the Bay, but looking back he
saw that the rats now numbered in the millions, were squealing ever 
louder, and coming toward him faster and faster. Now scared, he broke into
a run, then a full Olympic sprint to the edge of the Bay where he threw 
the bronze rat as far out as he could muster.

Amazingly, the millions of rats all jumped into the Bay after the bronze
rat, and they all drowned. The man walked back to the curio shop.

"Aha!" said the owner. "You have come back for the story."

"No," said the man, "I came back to see if you have a bronze Democrat."

Man, I'm tired! (But I'm also elated!) I stayed up until 4:30 AM this morning watching the returns! For some reason I didn't have a "good feeling" yesterday. Then when FOX NEWS was saying after 8:00 PM that Kerry was leading most all exit-polls, I was really depressed. They had Bush down 23 points in Pennsylvania at one point. Juan William, FOX NEWS' token liberal hack, was elated and they could hardly shut him up. I guess it was around 9:30 or 10:00 PM that they realized the "exit polling" might be bad wrong. I was as nervous as a "long tailed cat in a room full of rockers" as they reported and tabulated the results.

I couldn't resist channel surfing to NBC, CNN, CNBC and even CBS. FOX and NBC first called Ohio. (I think that Brit later became nervous about the early call as they were told that 250,000 provisional ballots were still out.) NBC soon called Ohio, but ABC or CBS did not. (It's 3:30 PM now. John Kerry has given up, Bush has given his acceptance speech, but has Dan Rather called the race yet?????) FOX called the Senate seat in Kentucky for the Republican about 11:30 PM, but Dan Rather refused to call it until about 2:30 AM!!!!!! I like Tim Russert (even though he's a democrat) and was glad he has his "electoral board" out again. He would calculate on it the possibilities of the remaining uncalled states and what each candidate needed to win. Chris Matthews is barely softer than Bill Maher and I can hardly watch him.

I went to bed with the TV on and woke up about 6:30, watched a little, turned it off and went back to bed. I got up about 8:30 and watched until everyone (but CBS) admitted President Bush had be re-elected. I was amazed that when the national results were posted, Bush was leading 51-48%. It seemed to stay that way all night! 

Kerry's speech was very good. He was humble and even touched me, but Edward's was juvenile. He was like a bratty kid who screams when he doesn't get his way and I predict his political career is over!

Bush winning was great, but my best moment was when my Democrat-for-life, 78 year-young dad called me yesterday and said he voted "ALL REPUBLICAN". I was sooooooo proud of him and told him so! :-)

Thank you all and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

PS: My "If I had one (political) wish": (Either of these 3 options would suit me): 
A. Give each state only one electoral vote. (or) 
B. Give each county one electoral vote. (or) 
C. (as the original framers wished) Only property owners can vote.

Below is my Pre-election copy. Enjoy!

Tim Robbins Quotes: "There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for." "Religion is not merely the opium of the masses, it's the cyanide."

"Don’t you want to know what’s real and what’s not? I remember when I was a kid, you know, this whole Cold War thing. They had us scared of the Russians. 'The Russians, the Russians, the Russians.' So it’s almost like what’s real and what’s not?” -- Queen Latifah "We have been the cowards, lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly.

Norman Mailer "The World Trade Center was ... an architectural monstrosity.." "..if those towers had been destroyed without loss of life, a lot of people would have cheered.

Danny Glover "Yes, (Bush is a) racist. We all knew that but the world is only finding it out now. As Texas's governor, Bush led a penitentiary system that executed more people than all the other U.S. states together. And most of the people who died from (the) death penalty were Afro-Americans or Hispanics. (Bush) promoted a Conservative program, designed to eliminate everything Americans had accomplished so far in matters of race and equality." Richard Gere "If you can see (the terrorists) as a relative who's dangerously sick and we have to give them medicine, and the medicine is love and compassion.

We can't beat anyone anymore." -- George Clooney "I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems.

F-- your order." -- Oliver Stone on American corporations "I just think we are a little bit of an arrogant nation and maybe this is a little bit of a humbling experience ... what has our government done to provoke (9/11) that we don't know about?" -- Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson "We have a president for whom English is a second language. He's like 'We have to get rid of dictators,' but he's pretty much one himself." -- Robin Williams "I think that we see war as a virtual thing and we even get to believe that bombs fall on top of cardboard cutouts and stuff like that. They don't. They kill real people, real children, real mothers and millions of innocent people." -- Shakira (If she couldn't sing, do you think she would've been on GIRLS GONE WILD???)

Robert Altman "When I see an American flag flying, it's a joke." --  Chrissie Hynde Quote: "“Have we gone to war yet?”  “We f*cking deserve to get bombed. Bring it on.”  “Let’s get rid of all the economic sh*t this country represents! Bring it on,  I hope the Muslims win!” Ed Asner Quote: "I feel that George Bush's actions are desecrating the American that I grew up in and believed in. He is making us an imperialist government.

A little about me and ........................ how I became a Former democrat:

Confessions of a Former Democrat.

I grew up in Polk County Tennessee, so therefore, I was born a democrat. I grew up playing in my "fort" that dad built for me, skinning knees, being awakened every Christmas morning by a big "HO HO HO" from "Santa" as he flew away & then running to the tree to see what he left, going to the Benton Station Baptist Church, being "Saved" up on Benton Mountain during an "RA" camping outing, getting Baptized in the cold Ocoee River below the old Reynold's bridge, taking only my "taw" to school and coming home with both pockets bulging with marbles (I was very good), "hoopie-hide", watching Andy Griffith, getting my first motorcycle at 13, riding Diane Burgess around on my Honda 150 Dream,  souping-up the '67 Camaro, going to the Star Vue Drive-In and lots of other things a boy of the 50's in the South did. 

My first "job" came quite by accident. During Vacation Bible School one Summer when I was about 10 I made a shoe-shine box. It was crude, I guess, but it was functional. John & Dot Cassada owned the local "store" that was just a 1/4 mile down the road. For some reason I took my shoe-shine kit down there and bought some black and brown shoe polish. (I guess I borrowed dad's shoe brush.) Anyway, I asked some of the locals on the porch if they wanted their shoe shined for a quarter and a few of them did. One shine paid for an entire can of shoe polish and I thought that was the greatest thing. (I guess I've been an entrepreneur ever since.)

I have great parents. They are both very hard-working. When I was growing-up they didn't make a lot of money, BUT they managed it well. They never told me "manage you money wisely", but I guess I learned it by example. Mom couldn't have any more children, so I got lots of love. (Yes, I'm spoiled!)

I later came to know that for as long as there has been dirt  the democrats party ruled Polk county. My first memory of dad talking about voting was something to the effect of: "I checked democrat and pulled the lever." I didn't know what that meant at the time, but it sounded powerful. 

The first vote for President I cast was for Jimmy Carter in 1976. According to the news (and Saturday Night Live), Ford was only famous for falling down. Plus, he pardoned that crook, Nixon. Plus, Carter was a regular Southerner like me. Plus, my daddy votes democrat. Plus, my grand-daddy voted democrat. Plus, we only vote democrat in Polk County. Right? (I do remember mom coming back from voting once and laughingly telling dad: "I just cancelled your vote.", though.)

In November of 1975, at the age of 24, I started TAPE CITY, an independent record store, in Athens TN in another county with $5,000 I borrowed from John Taylor at Benton Bank on a "6 month note". (ALL the banks in Athens turned me down.) Initially I was too busy with working 12 hours a day, seven days a week (all ALONE)  to pay attention to politics. I was "chief cook and bottle washer" and used the common sense my parents had given me to make a go of it. I paid back $1,000, plus interest at the end of the first 6 months and got another note for $4,000. (The next time I paid $1,000 plus interest. The next time I paid it ALL off!) Sometime during the first year I had a couple of high-school students and was becoming able to breathe a little. I then started to see the "Real World" out there. Four years of Carter had given us: gas lines, the Iran Hostage Crisis, high inflation, high interest rates (I thought I got a deal when I later paid "only" 17% interest to buy a building), gas lines, depleted military, etc...... 

Then came Ronald Reagan running for president as a Republican. I'd never heard of him, but ABC, NBC & CBS (then they were my only 3 options) must have. After listening to them on the evening news I gathered Reagan must've been over 100 years old. He must have had "hardening of the arteries", too. He had been an actor, but his only movies were with a monkey. And, if he ever got his hand on "the button", he would get us all killed in a nuclear war! (Scary, huh?) 

BUT..... here and there I got to hear clips of him speaking and no amount of biased, liberal media spin could cover up the truth. Because of the great Ronald Wilson Reagan I BECAME A FORMER DEMOCRAT! It was no contest. I learned that I WAS A CONSERVATIVE! I WAS A REPUBLICAN! In November 1980 I VOTED FOR REAGAN!!!!!!

I remember watching the 1980 election results on my TV at Tape City with "Big-T" (a regular customer who happened to wander that evening in and stayed to watch with me). We stayed there after hours. I remember our commenting on the pictures of the candidates they had posted on the screen. Carter was higher with a flattering version of his goofy smile. Reagan was below him with a purposely-chosen unflattering image. (We were both yelling "LOOK AT THAT! UNFAIR!" at the screen!) It was wonderful to see the beaten faces of the anchors as the results came pouring in. And, when they finally begrudgingly announced Reagan the winner..... WE CHEERED!

I remain a former democrat because I do not want to "get into bed" with (vote the same way as) liberals, extreme environmentalists, gays, lesbians, NAACP, ACLU, PETA, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, Tom Brokaw, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and on and on.

At this time the Republican Party better represents my values much more than the democrat party does.

Former Democrat Jokes:

The hot air balloon

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat
below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you
are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you
expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now
it's my fault.

Schilling Makes Surprise Stop for Bush (AP story)


WILMINGTON, Ohio - Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling made a surprise appearance Monday morning with President Bush (news - web sites), limping to the stage to give Bush a strong endorsement. 

Schilling won Game 2 of the World Series (news - web sites) and Game 6 of the American League championship series with his ankle stitched to protect a torn sheath around a tendon. He was expected to undergo surgery this week, and had canceled an appearance with Bush on Friday. 

Monday morning, he wore a protective boot over the ankle as he and his wife made their way to the stage inside an airplane hangar. 

The ace pitcher said Bush was a commander in chief who will ensure troops "have everything they need to get the job done, a leader who believes in their mission and honors their service, a leader who has the courage and the character to stay on the offense against terrorism until the war is won." 

Bush stood next to him, and they embraced afterward. 

"On Tuesday, we need you to get out and vote. We need you to get your friends and neighbors out to vote — tell them you're voting for President Bush and get them on board, too," Schilling said. "I know everybody wants to be on a winning team, and there's plenty of room on this bandwagon." 

Osama/Usama bin Laden releases pro-Kerry video

Osama bin Laden (the man who masterminded all the attacks on the WTC) attacks president Bush, via a video, this weekend.
Kerry immediately uses Bin Laden's video to promote himself.
bin Laden can only attack us with a video because Bush and our military has them busy "steppin' & fetchin'" to do much else.

Osama threatens to attack all US States that vote for Bush. (Are you going to let him threaten us???)

Are you democrats not upset that bin Laden is parroting your verbal attacks on President Bush?????

(BY THE WAY: When did the spelling of this walking dead man's name change for O to U?????)

BoSox Hero, Curt Schilling, Endorses Bush for President 

Curt Schilling, star pitcher for the Boston Red Sox [who reigned victorious in the World Series Wednesday night] appeared on "Good Morning, America," Thursday 10/28/2004, where he endorsed Bush for president.

Host Charlie Gibson said to Schilling and his wife, Shonda: "You both have certainly lifelong membership now in the Red Sox nation. It was a great thing to watch, and I think everybody — whether they were great Red Sox fans or not — had to admire what this team did. It was extraordinary, and one of the great stories of sport. And sport always produces such great stories. Curt, Shonda, great to have you with us. Congratulations."

Curt Schilling: "And make sure you tell everybody to vote, and vote Bush next week."

Gibson acted as it Schilling had said the "F" word or something and nervously said: 
"Whoa, all right. Something else that divides the nation as well."

I wonder if 'ol Charlie will be fired by ABC for allowing such "blasphemy" on a liberal network.) If ABC would've had a 5-second delay in place, would Curt have been "beeped"?????) (See my "Media Bias" section below.)

The Terminator believes in Bush!

Kerry's credentials as a Botox, I mean Bosox, Fan: 

Eddie Yost was his favorite Red Sox player, even though YOST NEVER PLAYED FOR BOSTON!

(He looks natural in a cap, don't ya think?)

Today I received a passed-around email from a friend that intrigues me. 
If Kerry gets elected, we sane people may have a place to go. 
I've put it on a website: Click HERE to see it.

Last night I was talking with the business owner. He had the MSNBC news on and I asked him how the election was going to turn out. He said he hoped Kerry would win as he "couldn't take any more of these high gas prices" I was about to remind him that Kerry had wanted to put a 50-cent per gallon tax on gas, but he continued to tell me that he had already voted. So, I just decided to let sleeping idiots lie.

10-25-2004
It is estimated that 300,000 people were slaughtered during Saddam's rule and dumped into 40 different mass grave sites around the country! But Kerry supporters say we should have done nothing.

Kerry Flubs the score of both Bosox Wins [This guys does not have a clue.] Hmmmm. "Bosox"! / "Botox"! Hmmmmm

The democrats (spits) are screaming that we should get out of Iraq because we've spent so much money. Why do they not want us to end the "War on Poverty" when we've spent NINE [9] TRILLION DOLLARS (can you count that high?) on it?????? 
$9,000,000,000,000.00

10-22-2004
I early-voted today! A young girl came in after me and she said it was her first time. I didn't know her, but I was proud of her. I then paid my county taxes as well as my truck tag & wheel tax renewal.  I also went by the local Republican Headquarters to get another yard sign to replace the one some Kerry supporter tore down. I thought of the perfect election system: IF YOU DON'T PAY TAXES, YOU DON'T VOTE!

10-21-2004
I have no argument with the group I pictured above (liberals, lesbians, gays, welfare recipients, etc...) in voting for democrats (spits). My problem is with working people, Christians, business owners who blindly vote democrat (spits). If you've ever talked to them they'll have just ONE THING about Bush they don't like. One of my democrat (spits) neighbor said he was against our going to Iraq. I asked him if he rather our trained troops fight them over there than here. (He didn't have much of reply.) Another said something about his stocks taking a hit. I asked him if he could say "911". 

10-20-2004
This says it all about Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry: 

In an interview in Wednesday's USA Today, the newspaper asked Teresa Heinz Kerry if she would be different from Laura Bush as a first lady.
"Well, you know, I don't know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good," Heinz Kerry said. "But I don't know that she's ever had a real job. I mean, since she's been grown-up. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things."
(I guess Ms. Heinz doesn't think that a SCHOOL TEACHER or a LIBRARIAN is important.)

10-12-2004:
I'm really getting ticked now. Poor Christopher Reeves was barely cold and the democrats are out blaming Bush! John Edwards basically said the if they get elected people like Reeves will be able to "get up and walk". 

Here's the truth on stem cell research: 

• Stem cell research is basically the practice of growing "test tube babies" to later dissect parts of them for research.

• Bush is the ONLY president to allow government funds to pay for stem cell research on embryos that were already damaged.

• Bush is NOT banning stem cell research. (Did you hear me? Bush is NOT banning stem cell research. )

• Bush is simply refusing to use more tax dollars to do so.

• John Kerry can write a check on his wife's account to pay for stem cell research if he feels so strongly for it

Latest John Kerry FLIP-FLOP: 
Several weeks ago Kerry wrongly accused Bush of having a secret plant with the Saudis to drastically lower fuel prices right before the election and called it terrible. Now that fuel prices have soared, Kerry is claiming that Bush should do something about the high prices!?!?!

When Kerry says: "I'm going to get more allies on board." 
He really means: "I'm going to get France's okay before I do anything."

Kerry said in an interview published on Sunday in The New York Times Magazine: "We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives but they're a nuisance."

10-11-2004:
TWO QUESTIONS:
Question #1. A loved-one is terribly sick and rushed to the hospital. Tests show there were bitten by a Brown
Recluse spider. Your loved-one remembers a sting while sleeping, so you come home angry from the hospital, get your can of Raid and search the bedroom. You search the bedroom for days to no avail, so you look in the hall closet. There you find a Black Widow spider.

Do you: 
a. Squash the Black Widow because they are also dangerous or 
b. Shut the door to keep it from getting out, but do not hurt it because it wasn't the exact spider who hurt your loved one.

Question #2: You're looking for Osama Bin Laden (responsible for the 911 terrorists attacks ) and ...............

10-10-2004:
OK. Here's the skinny: John Kerry will say anything to get elected! 
Click HERE to see a Documentary of John Kerry IN HIS OWN WORDS!
He FLIP-FLOPS (switches positions) whenever it helps him politically. 
Here's all you need to know: 
* JOHN KERRY VOTED AGAINST OUR GOING TO WAR IN 1991 to kick Sadaam out of Kuwait!
* John Kerry was FOR this war, until John Dean was leading in the democratic primaries, so Kerry flipped to counter Dean.
* 20 years in Congress Kerry voted against the weapons that Reagan used to win the Cold War.

Do you want Ted Kennedy for President? Then why vote for Kerry?  He is one of the most LIBERAL Senators in Washington.  

My biggest pet-peeve: Conservatives and/or Christians who vote democrat "because Daddy did". (shudders)

10-09-2004:
I watched the 2nd debate last night and was encouraged that "Dubya" did so well. He was on his game last night. He winked, smiled, cracked jokes (That answer made me want to scowl.), etc.... Kerry was the one who stammered and stuttered this time. I feared the questions would be loaded in favor of Kerry, but they were very good. Kerry walked over to Bush several times (ala Gore). (I wanted Bush to tell Gore in 2000: "If you come over here one more time, I'm gonna kick your *ss!", but I guess that would be a little too "cowboy".)

Kerry was hit with two very direct questions that made him ramble, quantify, etc... My favorite was when the girl asked him why he would take her tax money to pay for abortions, which she opposed. He went into his version of "I feel your pain", but (to paraphrase Lloyd Benson: "......... He ain't no Bill Clinton!").

I love FOX NEWS, but I've been ticked off at them a little this year. 

Each night after the Republican convention speeches were over I flipped between FOX and NBC. NBC kicked their butt! They had a good balance of "talking heads" and the conservatives gave better than they got.  I think they're gun-shy from being called RIGHT WINGERS, so they're going left to prove they're not! 

Bill O'Reilly had a particular discussion on 10-06-2004 with Tammy Bruce (whom he introduced as a "Conservative Talk Show Host") and Juan Williams (only introduced as "Fox News contributor"). They never introduce Juan or Eleanor Clift as "Fox News token, liberal hack". Why????? 

During the VP debate they had a banner at the bottom of the screen saying: "VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE" that blocked out the "timing lights"! (Did they think we didn't know what we were watching?? (I switched over to NBC to watch the debate.)

Last night after the debate, none of their "talking heads" thought Bush won. Not even Fred!?!?!?! (I guess I'll just have to wait for Monday at Noon to hear Rush's take on it. SEE YA FOR NOW!

MEDIA BIAS!

In September 1985, Ronald Reagan came to speak in my little town of Athens TN. My mom came up and I closed my store so we could go. He was to speak from the top of the courthouse steps and they had blocked off downtown Athens. Mom & I got within 20 feet of the bottom steps, over on the left side, so we were in a good spot. Behind us, someone had built platforms on the sidewalk for the news cameras. (I think it's so they can film over our heads). We also saw about four protesters with signs. They were in the side street, way over on the right side of the courthouse. At the time I thought it odd and thought to myself: "Why are they over there? There's no way that President Reagan can even see them. (I knew none of them and would bet the farm they were not even from here.)

Anyway, the crowd grew to an estimated 36,000 in a town of about half that size. The program started,  Pam Thigpen sung the National Anthem, local dignitaries got to speak, etc........ And then........ the President came out. It was great! I had my 35mm with a zoom lens and got some great shots. (I need to find 'em after my recent move.) I remember laughing when he said something to effect of: "I always wanted to come to Athens, but contrary to popular belief, I did NOT study under Plato!" After the speech, he was given a personalized saddle from the Athens Saddle Company. He really beamed when he was presented with it. (I'd like to know what happened to it.) He always reminded me of my Grandfather, Junior Fox Tinsley, when he was younger for some reason. (And, it's odd that Alzheimer's took them both.)

What does this all have to do with media bias?, you ask. Well, I'll tell you how I grew up a lot in 1985. When I got home that evening I just had to watch the news. (ABC, NBC & CBS is all I had at that time.) Finally a teaser: "Regan speaks at small Tennessee town." As I'm glued to the TV the story starts with something like: "Reagan speaks before thousands in Athens Tennessee, a small town, today." BUT, what do they show????? You guess it! The cameras behind us were not raised so they could get a "better shot". They were raised so that they could film the President then simply pan to the right and see no one but protesters. No pro-Reagan signs or persons were seen. They would pan back to Reagan and then the protesters. So, what did "Joe six-pack" who was not there think? I'll tell you what he thought: "Thousand come out to protest Reagan in small-town Tennessee!" 

I know I shouldn't hate, but I hate these media b*stards. Poor 'ol Maws & Paws sit on the couch every evening eating their suppers (dinner to you non-Southerners) and think whatever Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings and Dan Rather say is gospel. They don't realize it's all crafted to influence them, rather (no pun intended) than simply report the news. I believe if it were not for the liberal media and their 40 years of propaganda this race would not even be close. Heck if they were fair, democrats would only make up 30% of the elected offices, if that much.

Brit Hume was fired by ABC a few years ago because he asked then-president Clinton a question other than the allowed "softball" questions. (Accepted questions: What brand of cigars do you prefer?, Boxers or briefs?, etc..

Little Suzy had a box of very small kittens that she was to give away, so
she had them out on the street corner with a sign "FREE KITTENS" next
to them. Suddenly a long line of big black cars came up with a policeman
on a motorcycle in front. The cars all stopped and a tall man stepped out
from the biggest car. "Hi, little girl, what do you have there in the
box?", he asked. "Kittens," Little Suzy says. "They're so small, their
eyes are not even open yet." "What kind of kittens are they?" he asked.
"Democrats," says Little Suzy. The tall man smiled, returned to his car
and they drove away. Sensing a good photo opportunity, Sen. John Kerry
called his campaign manager and told him about the little girl and the
kittens. It was planned that they would return the next day, have all
the media there and tell everyone about these great kittens. The next
day, Little Suzy is standing out on the corner with her box of kittens
with the "FREE KITTENS" sign and the big motorcade of black cars pulled
up with all the vans and trucks from ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN. Everyone
had their cameras ready and then, Sen. Kerry got out of his limo and
walked up to Little Suzy. "Now don't be frightened," he said, "I just want
you to tell all these nice news people just what kind of kittens you're
giving away today. "Yes, sir," Suzy said, "they are all REPUBLICAN
kittens." Taken by surprise, Sen. Kerry said, "But yesterday, you told
me that they were DEMOCRATS." 
Little Suzy says, "Yes, I know. But today, they have their eyes open."

Friday, October 22, 2004 Kerry goes goose hunting!
[Ever wonder why the most liberal Senator tries to sound & act like a "Regular Guy" only when running against Bush???]
Are you curious why he had someone else carry his goose???

"IF YOU VOTE DEMOCRAT, YOU PROBABLY HAVE YOUR HAND OUT FOR SOMETHING!" 
(FORMERdemocrat.com Webmaster)

"Real Men Like Bush" - (the late) Kelly Burden

I became and remain a Republican for many reasons. 

Here are a few:

*  Most Democrat party campaign slogans can be summed up in one word: BOO! (To scare people.)
    (Democrats try to scare old people telling them we're going to take away their Social Security, the Medicare or their Medicaid.)
      (They used to say Reagan would "push the button", etc.....) They have nothing but fear to offer!

• Democrats typically believe in: Higher Taxes, BIG Government, Cutting the Military, the U.N., etc..

• Republicans typically believe in: A strong Military, Freedom from government intrusion, Lower Taxes, ..

• Kerry will do and say anything to get elected.

• Bush made tough decisions to keep us safe despite the fact they may cost him the election.

• I do NOT agree with taking "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance!

• I do NOT agree with forcible removal of the TEN COMMANDMENTS from our court houses!

• A democrat will scream to high heaven about the daily loss of an estimated 3 armed & trained warriors in Iraq.

• Yet, a democrat will then support the daily murder (abortion) of 4,000 innocent, defenseless babies here!

What good is your religion if it doesn't influence your politics? ((FORMERdemocrat.com Webmaster))

The lifeblood of the Republican Party is made up of new faces and new voices. The history of the GOP is filled with fresh, dynamic voices from across the political spectrum - including quite a few former Democrats. One of them was Ronald Reagan, who explained his own party switch like this: "because I did my own speeches and did the research for them, I just woke up to the realization one day that I had been going out and helping to elect the people who had been causing the things I had been criticizing." Recently, many who were elected as Democrats saw the light. Mississippi Lt. Governor Amy Tuck, former New York Congressman Herman Badillo, Senators Ben Nighthorse Campbell and Richard Shelby, and current Representatives Billy Tauzin and Nathan Deal. As Senator Shelby put it, he was tired of belonging to "a party of dependency" deciding instead to join the "party of hope for America" - the GOP. Millions of Americans today, including many who've never voted for Republicans before, are responding to President Bush's leadership and positive agenda for building a safer, stronger and better America. Every year, thousands of former Democrats and independents realize that they've really been Republicans all along, and make the switch.

Republicans typically believe the government should cut taxes and reduce spending, whereas Democrats choose to use federal spending to stimulate the economy.

Democrats want to "Tax the rich". What do they think "the rich" do with their money? Put in in their mattress? Bury in in the backyard? NO! They spend and/or invest it and THAT is what stimulates the economy!

I shouldn't even have to argue that point because: "IT'S THEIR F-ing MONEY!" The earned it only to have John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, etc.... put a gun to their head and take it from them.

It ticks me off that democrats believe the government can spend money more efficiently. 

Babies know!

Republicans think! Democrats feel!
They don't have to do anything to help a situation, they just want to "feel better" that they tried to help.

Kerry wants HIS gun, but doesn't want YOU to own one.

Funny how democrats try to look like Republicans during elections, isn't it?

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."

--George Washington

I fear the Kerry supporters are too smart for us.
