Yep, concerning Bush's military record, it wasn't bad enough that Dan Rather and Mary Mapes ran with a story they knew to be false, but even after it was proven to be false, they still stood by it. Mary Mapes even said on CNN that it wasn't up to her to prove it was true, but up to someone else to prove it was false. The Democrats (and the left leaning media) seem to think it's their birthright to be in power. Now that they've been soundly rejected at the polls election after election, just listen to the excuses. Why, those DieBold machines are rigged. (Probably owned by Haliburton). The voters are idiots. We are not getting our message out loud enough. Fact is their message is getting out loud and clear. Problem is nobody is buying it. Yet they seem to think there must be another reason for their losses. Why surely the American public can't be rejecting us. After all, we're the ones that know what's best for America. The democrats can't be openly honest and tell Americans what they REALLY stand for, because they know if they do, they'll never win another election. Hey, vote for us. We support abortion on demand, partial birth abortion, (of course we're against the death penalty for such upstanding citizens as Tooke Williams), higher taxes(how 'bout that John Corzine?), wealth redistribution(right out of the Karl Marx handbook), a watered down military, gay marriage, gun control, increased fuel standards for autos(note sure how many MPG Robert F. Kennedy Jr's private jet gets), promoting solar and wind energy(as long as the windmills don't block the view from Hyannisport), Geez, these f*#%ing hypocrites. Years ago the dems could mask these radical positions with the help of their like minded friends in the media, who actually decided what was and wasn't news every evening. Now, with Fox news and talk radio, they have been exposed, and the election results are proving this out. As long as the Democrats have as their spokespersons people like P. Diddy, with that stupid ****** "vote or die" BS, Michael Moore, Babs Striesand(wonder what it cost to heat and cool her mansion?), Howard Dean(please keep him in his current position-Yee Haa), Ted(the swimmer) Kennedy, Jimmy-21% interest rate-Carter, Hanoi Jane Fonda, Harry Reid, Nancy Polosi, Dick Durbin, and of course the pride of West Virginia and the Democratic party, that former Ku Klux Klan member who now prides himself on human rights issues, Robert Byrd, or as he's affectionately known in the senate, Sheets Byrd, they will continue to be soundly rejected at the polls, year after year. It wasn't that many years ago that the Democrats and Republicans were not that far apart on the issues. John F. Kennedy would be considered a conservative by todays' Democratic party. He also put in place a tax cut that stimulated the economy. Problem with the Democratic party today is that it has been taken over by the extreme left. As long as the (new) media keep exposing these extreme positions for what they are, the democrats will never win another national election, because the simple fact is that the MAJORITY of the American public just ain't buying what they're selling. The election results speak for themselves. Have a nice day!
