<<Can I have your preferred candidates for 2008?>>

No.

We are at war with a viscous internal enemy that has taken over the Democrat party, and looking ahead to the next race is a formula for BobDole's Disease-addled defeat.

John Kerry has ALWAYS been an anti-American traitor, and a danger to our people. The Rockefeller Wing of the Republican party (the above-mentioned BobDole's Disease-addled idiots) left him alone, because they never thought the Dems would suffer the core-rot that would make his ilk a nominee. They were thus happy to be shit-eating-grinning LOSERS at the Washington cocktail parties, trading patriotism for pork, and keeping their Congressional "careers".

The Impeachment Senate FIX, the 1 to 2 million fabricated Gore votes of 2000, and 91101, blew THEM away-every bit as much as the WTC-and put slimy traitors like John Kerry and Thom Daschle IN OUR FACES.

Thus, meaningless babble about "Rudy" and Mad Cow are nothing but distraction and defeatism. If we let the Dem criminals herd their low-income illiterate black fieldhands to the polls over and over again-and fabricate Kerry into the White House-America is OVER, and it eventually goes to the streets.

We can make fun of the pseudo-populists, the cheap opportunists, and the always-available assorted other idiots for 3 years AFTER November 2-when the battle for America is either WON, or LOST...
