unfortunately for the Dems, no candidate named “the Democratic candidate” will be running.

“unfortunately” for the Dems a recent poll also posted on the Command Post in the past put Wesley Clark ahead of President Bush. Now it’s a Dead Heat?

My predictions that we are in the midst of President Bush’s poll numbers on the slow rise might be unfolding here:-) Gotta love October.

I see that Dennis Kucinich has taken a slight lead over me in our race for the Democratic nomination.

It is truly fascinating that “Other” and “Don’t Know” outpoll the named “leaders” 2 to 1. I thought Clark was supposed to be the “Other” who finally got into the race. But he has not eaten into “Other’s” number much. Maybe the real story here is that Democrats do not know how to vote.

It appears that the Dem candidates spend 90% of
thei rtime beating down Pres Bush’s decision for war.that was supported by these yo-yos at first. They do not offer any constructive ideas, they back-bite and point the mistakes “this president” has made. Had they had his job, his level of responsibility to duty, and the intelligence he and his staff have, they would have undoubtedly used similiar actions. I learned in high school that one definition of the word “TREASON” was giving aid and comfort to an enemy during a time of war, These Dem “would-be presidents” are all traitors. Why should France, Germany and Russia help us when such blatant criticism is hurled at our President on a dailky basis.

Genius, Ann Coulter wannabe…

Has it ever struck you that many dems voted to give Bush his Iraqi war based on bad data. Bush said a lot of things to Congress that simply are not true, no imminent threat. Bush painted an imminent threat to sell the war to Congress that is why these “yo-yos” supported this debacle.

If your bud there wasnt such a big liar, he wouldnt have got his free ticket to wonderland. As far as treason get a god damn life and a copy of the constitution while you are at it you ignorant SOB.

President Bush never painted an imminent threat, he painted a potential threat and has always used the word ‘potential’ to describe the threat from Saddam.

The reason these yo yo’s voted for the resolution is that they truly believed in removing Saddam Hussein from power. Every last one of them. But, since they are the opposition party they see fit to cricitize the President on the war and on everything imaginable in hopes to get back their power.

They are power hungry fools. Power means more than the meaning of their actions. All of the rank and file liberals are running around inventing stories to justify their ‘buddies in power’s’ actions. There is no justification or excuse. You don’t vote for something and then say later that ‘oo[ps!’ I was misinformed.

Colon Powel and the entire administration informed them specifically about the underpinnings of the war effort and the meaning of the war and the results that we wanted to achieve. No one votes on a war resolution without knowing the facts. That has never happened before and it has not happened this time.

Quit making excuses for your Liberal Politicians and start holding your ‘buddies in power’ accountable to their actions.

************************************************************
You do if it regards classified intelligence data that is presented to you by the President and his administration. Especially if the info is skewed, which no one can now argue it was….

Furthermore, I find it hilarious that your faith-based method of reading poll results allows you to think Shrub is out of danger. Ever hear of Independents? Normally they decide elections and according to your numbers they are leaning against Bush.

2004 will be a referendum on Bush just like 2003 was one on Davis. Expect a similar landslide by whomever the Dems put up. America is sick and tired of his war on terror and living in fear. We want someone with a positive message and real vision. We want someone who will look out for our interests not the PEOPLE OF IRAQ.

///2004 will be a referendum on Bush just like 2003 was one on Davis. ///

…and 2002 was for the democrats.

Count on it.

///America is sick and tired of his war on terror and living in fear///

You’re right, the war on terror was all made up by President Bush. It will all go away when we elect some buffoon like Howard Dean.

Shrub, the more you post, the more stupid you sound.

Dipshit.
