<<By the way; all those soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen who are making mincemeat of Iraqi troops are quite likely to vote for Mr Bush in 2004.>> I thought it would take another 10 to 15 years, just for them to get interested, but Generations X and Y have made their BONES as Americans in Iraq, just as their grandfathers and great-grandfathers did at Bastogne, Guadalcanal, and a few other places many decades ago. They are now going to come home and LEAD their age group-which is VERY MUCH in NEED of leadership. Which means: Significant voters will now be people for whom the Great Social Security Fraud promises only a net loss, while burdening them throughout their careers. George Bush, to them, is not the guy who won a close one, or chased Clinton off. He's the C in C of their MASSIVE history-changing victory, the FATHER of their coming-of-age. The Boomer generation is, to them, the arrogant walking zeros who have abused and joked about them all their lives, corrupted corporations with cooked books, corrupted government with massive vote fabrications and Clinton's crimes, AND SOON WILL DEMAND a Social Security and Medicare FREE RIDE. In other words the settlement with the Boomers, which I have long predicted would materialize as we approached the 3rd decade of the century, is going to BEGIN to manifest itself as early as 2004. This army is George Bush's army, and if they see him threatened by a slimy Marxist/Leninist Democrat blowhard (and find me one who isn't), they are going to stand on the political battlefield for him, as they did on the battlefield in Iraq. War has been shown to be DIFFERENT, but one thing remains the same as it always has been: Bring 'em home alive and victorious, and they'll ELECT YOU. Don't believe me? Go ask Adlai Stevenson...

Why would anyone vote for the worst economic performance in history? You think veterans are idiots? Bush cuts their benefits and they vote for him just because he drapes himself with the flag and uses war to divert us from other more important issues? Watch Kerry take 50% of the pro-military vote away from Bush, and 75% of it if he runs with McCain or Clark. If South Carolina's vet groups strongly support Kerry over Bush, the RNC realizes it has a problem.
