Apparently Rummy is a bit more deeply involved in the process than he

It's too bad it had to be something like this, but if it helps bring
down Bush, hey...

How many times have I heard Harry proclaim that some scandel relating
to GWB "has legs" and will be the demise of this administration?

Sadder yet, as disgusted as all but the R party diehards and the Limbaugh
dittoheads are becoming with Bush- your party has put up the weakest candidate
since George McGovern.

I hadn't noticed that.

How could you not? With Bush's approval rating tanking, Kerry should
be walking away in every poll with a double digit lead. Instead he is
having to work like hell to stay neck-and-neck with an opponent that
has approval numbers in the 40s.

Harry - George Bush is beatable, yet your party appears to be
nominating a candidate that may not be able to do it.

I am one of those republicans that is not real thrilled with GWB.
It's his handling of Iraq that that is his biggest problem. They are
screwing that up. But I truely believe that Kerry will make the
situation even worse. The only thing that I have heard him talk about
doing is sucking up to those that want to screw us.

Get your buds at the DNC to convice Kerry to pull out for personal or health
reasons.

Oh, puh-lease.

(Maybe one of his old war scratches will start acting up.) Not too soon,
though- (Let the Bush team spend another $100mm trashing Kerry and making
themselves look hateful and silly in the process first). Convince McCain to
switch parties and you'll walk away with this thing.

McCain is an interesting fellow, too conservative for my taste, though,
and on the opposite side of too many issues. But I do like him
personally. But he caved in the face of Bush's lying attacks about him
in the 2000 primaries, and I wonder if he is tough enough these days to
take on the Repubican juggernaut that has invested so heavily in the
smirking chimp.

How about Lieberman? I might vote for him. But I would still hold my
nose - His behavior in the 2000 election did not set well with me at
all.

I have voted for democrats when the elephant candidate was not to my
liking. In one case I still kick myself for doing it. I voted for
Barbara Boxer in 1992. I can't stand that woman. In her "victory
speech" for that election she claimed that the victory was proof that
Californians were strongly behind her politics (something to that
effect). My feeling was - Don't get too big a head, lady! You lost
to a guy that a lot people thought was a total asshole. A lot of
voters just hate you less."

Never again with Boxer. Even if he couldn't smirk, a chimp would get
my vote in that race. Diane Feinstein is far more likeable.
