you left out a key core group for Bushy they are below avg in intelligence they finished in the lower half of their high school class they never attended college, or else maybe a year or some community college they hold a certain disdain for "city slickers" they hardly ever read much of anything (book, news magazine) they dont speak any foreign language they have never traveled beyond their 200-mile region they never traveled to Europe, yet hate them they dont attend church, but respect those who do they know we need foreign oil, and believe we should secure it in foreign sources, even if by force they tend to hold great resentment (if not bigotry hatred) toward blacks and hispanics and maybe even asians they like to wave their flags but could not define patriotism they never studied anything about Hitler or his rise to power they could not identify more than one foreign prime minister by name they could not identify more than 3 foreign nation capitals they respond to fear tactics, realize we are vulnerable to terrorism, yet have no idea what approach might be effective they could not tell you A SINGLE ITEM on the Bill or Rights they could not tell you what the 3 branches of the USGovt are they tend to maintain a shifting foundation for their ethics if you asked them what 3 THINGS are most important in their daily lives, then later what 3 THINGS they spend most of their time doing in daily activities, YOU GET A TOTAL DISCONNECT (which speaks to hypocrisy of values) they tend to show aggression first, before considered thought, especially before any attempt at negotiation THIS IS BUSHY'S CORE which is much much larger a slice of Americana than you think IT REMINDS ME OF NIXON'S "SILENT MAJORITY" this Bushy shows all the dishonesty and evil nature of Nixon without the advantage of any of Nixon's high intelligence Bushy, the Idiot Prince with the estimated IQ of 91 which is dumber than all but two morons in my grade school class of 70 kids / jim p.s. a few of us raided the principal's office at lunchtime great sport

I'm thinking many Republicans are seeing this as a chance to wrest control of their party back from the social conservatives, the anti-abortion, Christian fundamentalists, anti-gay rights people. They began using these peoples votes during Reagan's time, but now they seem to have taken control. I think a lot of Republicans wonder just what is important to their party at the current time. It doesn't seem to be fiscal conservatism, small government and only unavoidable foreign entanglements anymore.

Al Gore got the majority of the votes in 2000. What he did not get was the mix of the majority votes to tip the electoral college in his favor. So if Kerry can maintain that majority but spread it across the country better than Gore did then he is in. (Nader or not) So what is different now. Ohio (jobless workers), Missouri, possibly Arizona (state with veterans for John McCain) etc. And these are the states looking good for Kerry. I am sure he will hold onto Pennsylvania (Teresa country). And Florida is a tossup but the senior citizens there are taking a harder look at the Medicare bill and as soon as they realize that it does them more harm than good, they turn to Kerry. So things have already tilted towards Kerry. But the press will want us to not loose interest in the elections and stop reading their commentaries. And they will continue to project it as a dead heat until say October when the truth will really come out with their projections of a Kerry landslide. I know of many Republicans who will either stay home and others with biting conscience will come out to perform their sacred duty of exercise their voting rights and either vote for Kerry or Nader but definitely not Bush which they did do in 2000.

Bush is already losing the election, if you ask me, simply because is losing Ohio... Democrats need to hang on to the states that Al Gore won in 2000. Bush has governed too much to the right to gain any state that he lost in 2000. His record is a disaster: record deficits, 1.8 million job lost, planning the post-war in Iraq (remember his the commander in chief), ... The only hope for the Republican party is to scare americans into voting for Bush. That is why they will talk constantly about terrorism and issue many terrorist alerts to the nation...
