What is it with the Democrats? (my response)
My response to the Rant on the Democratic election
strategy.
Mike,
I am
ashamed of being a registered Democrat. The way they are
campaigning this year makes Richard Nixon
look like a saint.
The answer to your
first question is yes they believe you are brain
dead. John Kerry and Democrats clearly
don't think that any of us can
remember what
they said last week much less the previous year. The
fact is that recruitment for the military is
running at 105% of
targets. Clearly there
are a few young people in the country that
still believes that fighting for freedom
democracy is something worth
while. Maybe
the "younger generation" is not as dumb as the Democrats
think?
John
Kerry is the one that said in the Debates last night that he was
going to expand the military by two
divisions, more special services,
etc. He
didn't say where he was going to get the people or how to pay
for them. George Bush specifically stated
that he had no plans to
start a draft. I
guess the Democrats don't think any of the 18 to 20
year olds are going to
listen.
Next issue. Dan Rather (I'd
rather not) has surely shown his strips in
this last month. How anyone can believe
anything he says about the
election is
beyond me. I wouldn't mind if he said "I'm for Kerry"
here's the news (like Rush does). He has
the right to his opinion he
just doesn't
have the right to claim that it is non-biased news
coverage.
I
am worried about our democracy when a major party, my party, starts
using dirty tricks like this. The question
becomes is the American
public as dumb as
the Democrats think they are. My real hope is that
there is no monopoly of the news
infrastructure any more (yea
Internet).
I
guess we will find out
soon.
Richard
