Democrats Call for Boycott of American Products

(2003-11-05) -- Faced with the unexpected prospect
of running against George Bush during an economic
recovery which has shown remarkable gains since
earlier in the year and is on track to becoming one
of the strongest recoveries since the Reagan tax
cuts 20 years ago, the Democrat National Committee
(DNC) today called on Americans to boycott American
products and services.

"If consumers continue to spend money and business
owners continue to ramp up production," said DNC
Chairman Terry McAuliffe, "then there's nothing to
stop a second Bush term. And we all know how bad
that would be for the economy. The only way to save
this economy is to destroy the recovery by boycotting
American products and services so we can elect a
Democrat to the White House."

The DNC said it will devote about $100 million to the
boycott campaign, using consultants and talent from
other countries as much as possible.

"Most of our ad dollars will go to NBC, by virtue of
its merger with Vivendi, the French company," said
Mr. McAuliffe. "We regret that some Americans will
benefit from our 'Boycott America' campaign, but
with this global economy it's really hard to completely
avoid financing the Bush economic recovery."

"We have worked too long and too hard talking down
the economy in the hopes we could make it so until the
Presidential election in 2004 but all signs indicate we
have come up a couple years short of our goal. So,
instead of just talking down the economy we must
take drastic, concrete action to bring it down. The
best way to bring down a booming economy is huge
tax increases but we no longer have enough votes
in Congress to pass huge tax increases so we are
forced to use other means. These might include
debilitating strikes from labor unions, forest fires
set by our operatives, and further aid and comfort
to terrorists by supporting their efforts in Iraq,
Afghanistan, Iran and anywhere else they may find
solace and encouragement by our actions to stop
the war against them. We are hoping this will
embolden them enough to engage in another
911 type attack that will damage the recovery,
and discredit Bush policies." said Mr. McAuliffe
who, when asked, admitted he would stop at
nothing in order that the Democrat party regain
power.

Faced with the unexpected prospect
of running against George Bush during an economic
recovery which has shown remarkable gains

The economy has made ZERO gains. It's all losses. All companies showing profits
did so by closing plants and cutting jobs and benefits.
Marist poll show a 17% dip in bush approval ratings. How bad is that? Well,
bush people like to say his rating is still high, but the fact is that the
rating is WITHOUT another candidate in the wings. That means a large amount of
Americans want Bush out regardless of who runs against him!

Marist?? Bwaahahahahhahahahahah!

Poor poor liberals they can't even stop lying to
THEMSELVES and they are so stupid that when
they lie to themselves they actually believe it.

Then they have the nerve to call other people
liars.

Hey, I've got to spend some time doing something
other than hanging on the computer 24/7 like some
of you losers.

Besides you all need a break from the beating you
took. I played with you guys until the drag on my
reel got so hot I had to dowse it down with water
to cool it off. I finally decided to reel you idiots
in and had all three of you flopping on the deck
spitting and sputtering trying to dislodge the hooks
you swallowed all the way to your belly buttons.

You all accused me of doing something illegal and
you all said I could not legally operate a sailboat
with paying passengers without a sail endorsement.

I proved you all wrong! You all look stupid and
uninformed. Those are the facts.

S.Simon - master troller - even Bobsprit is but a
pimple on my learned ass.

When you get away from the East and West Coasts, people do like
President Bush--and young people even more. It's the liberal kooks, the
clinically depressed, and the underemployed that don't like him. Young
people tend to be optimistic, so in raw numbers they're more likely to
be pro-Bush. That's my theory.

News flash: College students like President Bush
by Byron York
October 29, 2003

Here's a question: Given the focus of the anti-war movement on college
campuses, and given the relentless liberalism of the professoriate, and
given the popularity of books such as Al Franken's Lies and the Lying
Liars Who Tell Them, what do college students think of George W. Bush?

The answer: They like him.

A new poll by Harvard's Institute of Politics found that 61 percent of
students give the president a positive job approval rating - making
Bush more popular on campus than in the country at large.

"Defying conventional wisdom, a new poll of America's college students
finds they are significantly more supportive of President Bush than the
general public," said a slightly surprised-sounding Institute of
Politics press release.

The release quoted institute head Dan Glickman, the former secretary of
agriculture in the Clinton administration: "The conventional view that
the majority of America's college students are Democratic and that they
care little about politics is clearly disproved by this new poll."

In addition to his fairly high approval rating, Bush's disapproval
rating, 38 percent, was lower than in the public at large; an ABC
News/Washington Post poll, taken at about the same time found 53
percent approval of Bush versus 42 percent disapproval.

The college pollsters also asked whether students would vote for Bush
against a generic Democrat next year. Thirty-nine percent chose Bush,
versus 34 percent for the Democrat

In addition, the Harvard team found that more students considered
themselves Republicans than Democrats - 31 percent to 27 percent. (The
largest group, 38 percent, regarded itself as independent.)

Then pollsters asked those students who identified themselves as
Democrats which candidate they preferred if a primary election were
held today.

A landslide for Howard Dean, right?

Wrong. The winner, with 17 percent of the vote, was Sen. Joseph
Lieberman (D-Conn.) - the most conservative Democrat in the field.

Dean came in second with 16 percent, followed by retired Gen. Wesley
Clark, with 9 percent.

After that - and this is true - came Al Sharpton, with 8 percent.
Reverend Al beat Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who had 6 percent, Sen.
John Edwards (D-N.C.), who had 5 percent, former ambassador Carol
Moseley Braun, who had 4 percent, and Rep. Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), who
had 3 percent.

If Sharpton had an actual campaign, he might have made some use of this
news. As it was, his website, al2004.com, didn't seem to notice.

And needless to say, the congressman from Missouri hasn't been crowing
about the poll, which might have been headlined "Students Have
Near-Zero Interest In Gephardt." Apparently no one told them about the
Gephardt surge.

On the issue of Iraq, the Harvard pollsters found mixed feelings. When
researchers asked whether students "support or oppose the United States
having gone to war with Iraq," 59 percent strongly or somewhat
supported the war, while 37 percent opposed.

Then pollsters asked whether students thought that members of the Bush
administration "have been telling the truth, usually telling the truth
but hiding some things, or have they been mostly not telling the truth"
about Iraq.

The vast majority, 66 percent, chose the "usually telling the truth but
hiding some things" category. Twenty-one percent said the
administration was mostly not telling the truth, while 12 percent said
the administration has been telling the entire truth.

When asked whether their trust in the president had gone up or down in
the past year, 32 percent said it had gone down. Eighteen percent said
it had gone up, while 49 percent said it had stayed the same - a
combined total of 67 percent whose faith in the president has been
unaffected by the war.

In addition to finding solid support for Bush, the pollsters also found
that students, unlike many other Democrats, actually care about
national security and terrorism. Eleven percent of students told the
pollsters they worried about terrorism, making it the
third-most-important concern.

While not terribly high, that number stands in stark contrast to the
results of a recent Democracy Corps poll, which found that Democrats in
the early-voting and caucus states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South
Carolina worried virtually not at all about terrorism.

On another terrorism-related topic, the poll found that students don't
seem to share Democratic concerns that the USA Patriot Act had eroded
civil liberties and that Attorney General John Ashcroft is "shredding"
the Constitution. Just 2 percent worried about that.

Finally, the poll strikes one small cautionary note about the wonders
of the Internet as a political tool.

Yes, some candidates have raised tons of money on the Net, but the poll
suggests that not every Web effort is bearing fruit.

When pollsters asked, "Have you ever read or participated in a
presidential campaign blog?" 96 percent of students said no.

Apparently, they've learned to like George W. Bush the old-fashioned
way.

EG So now we have the final admission ..... you and Boobsprit are a
team of "trollers". Your knowledge of the subject at hand, is minimal ,
at best, and not worth any real time to comment, upon.
Thank you. I will now treat any of your post, with the same distain that
