was an analogy reflecting a particular mindset. Like Ten, apparently it went over your head. No Ted, it did not go over my head. It was simply insulting. If you like the allusion, you can apply it to the monolithic block of voters who would support a guy who lied about his military service. Insulting? Then why does the right do it repeatedly? I thought it was SOP. Loyalty and rally around the flag....rah, rah, rah! ...pay less attention to what the Dems are doing and more on what the GOP is up to... The Democrats are the party of failed morals. Because Clinton got a BJ in his office......ridiculous! For me, I am more concerned with ethics.........and the right has been just short of indifferent to playing the game honestly. BTW how's this for GOP morals? bartcop.com Attempt to label Republicans with the reputation that has been EARNED by Democrats is just transparently humorous. Look at Jay Rockefeller's famous memos about how they would use Republican good will in the intelligence committee. The FMSM spun the problem as being a Republican staffer uncovering the blatantly partisan attack politics. Are you proud of that? I am not proud of this Congress, this president and this election. The country is way off course and I suspect in decline. Republicans have not lived up to every measure of perfection. Remember that Republics only regained the majority status after an election rebutted the Democrat's dirty trick called Jumpin Jim Jeffords. And what is Zell Miller? Mr. Wonderful? You are so knee deep in your partisan bias, you can't see the forest for the trees. We know that Clinton, Gore and Kerry never would have had the guts to confront Muslim terrorism. President Bush after consulting his advisors has chosen a path, and we are embarked on a path toward Muslim freedom. There has not been free a Muslim nation in recent history. Would you criticize a result to two free Muslim nations? Yea, yea, yea........not only are you all superior, you're psychic as well. Intellectually, Kerry, Gore and Clinton could run circles around Mr. Bush........that's what I care about most. I want some intellect in the WH, not machismo. Ted, you are smarter than that. You respect my ability to communicate but you denigrate my message. Frankly, there is something wrong in that analysis. You might want to think about it. As for Bush, I've given him a chance.......of course, I had no choice. And things have not gone well, and with the exception of Afghanistan, he has done little of value in his first four years. I shudder to think what he will do in the next four. I wish I had a fiver for every guy who told me they didn't want to vote for Bush but did so because they didn't like Kerry. I think they may regret their decision.

Canada busy sending back Bush-dodgers Tuesday, November 16, 2004 By JOE BLUNDO The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the illegal immigration. The re-election of President Bush is prompting the exodus among leftleaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray and agree with Bill O'Reilly. Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology professors, animal rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. "He asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I didn't have any, he left. Didn't even get a chance to show him my screenplay, eh?" In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences, but the liberals scaled them. So he tried installing speakers that blare Rush Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still got through, and Rush annoyed the cows so much they wouldn't give milk." Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons, drive them across the border and leave them to fend for themselves. "A lot of these people are not prepared for rugged conditions," an Ontario border patrolman said. "I found one carload without a drop of drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley cabernet, though." When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been circulating about the Bush administration establishing re-education camps in which liberals will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR. In the days since the election, liberals have turned to sometimes ingenious ways of crossing the border. Some have taken to posing as senior citizens on bus trips to buy cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans disguised in powdered wigs, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses and quizzing the supposed senior-citizen passengers. "If they can't identify the accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we get suspicious about their age," an official said. Canadian citizens have complained that the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and renting all the good Susan Sarandon movies. "I feel sorry for American liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them," an Ottawa resident said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?" In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice President Dick Cheney met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the administration would take steps to reassure liberals, a source close to Cheney said. "We're going to have some Peter, Paul & Mary concerts. And we might put some endangered species on postage stamps. The president is determined to reach out."
