Naugy Joe: In your "schedule" of the RNC, you forgot to include the speeches made by DEMOCRATS like Zell Miller and Ed Koch. Especially the former calling the Democratic party of today the opposite of what "Real" Democrats like Roosevelt, Truman and Kennedy believed in (strong foreign policy--liberal domestic reforms). Now the party is quick to blame America first.
The last time a former Democratic candidate insulted the current Republican President was in the early 1860s when Stephen Douglas criticized Lincoln for the dissolution of the Union.
During this Presidency, we had Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter ( worst President in history...with the lowest approval rating ever--21% ) all bash the President--while our troops were fighting overseas.
I hate to say it, but it has been speculated that the Clinton-Gore Administration was somewhat jealous because 9/11 didn't happen under their watch. If it did, Clinton would have had an everlasting legacy in terms of foreign affairs. The Democrats were just recovering from Reagan's successful 2 terms in regards to foreign policy...now they had to deal with Bush's war against terrorism. So to counterbalance it...what do they do? Insult the President during war time ...talk about 'patriotism.' If I had my way, they would have been jailed :rolleyes: . Al-Qaeda was surely smiling at the gestures carried out by the Democrats.
Predictions
Florida: If Bush wins Florida (which he will according to trends) Democrats will cry 'voter suppression.' If Kerry wins it....there wasn't voter suppression. The Democrats have set up a back-up plan to try and belittle the President's re-elcetion. If Bush wins the Popular Vote this time, then that means that this time his Presidency will be legitimate. But the Left will say it would never have happened had he not won the first time
If Bush is re-elected: A massive protest from the far-Left. Their opposition will prove their lack of respect for democracy even though the election was fair. The whining continues.
If Kerry is elected: A massive protest from the far-left but more as a rude good bye present to the President....talk about sore losers.
Bush is re-elected: Democrats will aid al-Qaeda by trying to impeach the President. Like Alexander at Guagamela and Issus: defeat the enemy by striking the Head of the miliary. The Democrats in this case are the point of the spear.
Kerry is elected while we are in Iraq: He will stay the course in Iraq for some months. The media will SUDDENLY report only good news about Iraq. If the war goes well ...the Democrats will credit Kerry...if it goes bad; Bush is to blame. The Democrats love those back-up plans.
