I’m having a difficult time saying …
President-elect Kerry.
In fact, it was even difficult for me to type it out; I couldn’t easily make my fingers press the appropriate keys without serious effort.
It sounds even worse when I hear it.
However, the fact of the matter is that I believe I (and the rest of us) had best get used to hearing it.
With one week to go before the first election of my lifetime that really matters, here’s where we stand (poll numbers courtesy of RealClearPolitics):
- George Bush is ahead in national polls by an average of a little over two points
- George Bush is ahead in the electoral vote count 234-228 with enough states “leaning” in his direction (FL, NM and WI) to put him at 276, 6 more than the magic 270 needed to win an electoral-vote majority
- Roughly 95% of George Bush’s base is certain they will vote for him, while only 85% of John Kerry’s base feels the same
- Bush has made strong inroads into the African-American, Jewish and Catholic voting blocks, as well as maintaining his strong support from the demographics that favored him in 2000
- A clear majority, or at minimum a very sizeable plurality, place foreign policy, national security and the war in Iraq as their #1 issue, and (all other things being equal) no Democrat can beat ANY Republican when foreign policy is the top concern of voters on Election Day.
Seems like pretty uniformly good news for our side (the Patriots who want to see George Bush re-elected), right? So why, you may ask, all the gloom-and-doom?
The reason is simple and twofold:
1) The national polls are worthless, and George Bush is not – with one week to go before Election Day – at or above 50% in enough states to command 270 electoral votes (not by a long shot)
2) The national media has only now started to turn out their heavy artillery in their final push to expel GWB from the White House – if you think you’ve seen “media bias” before, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Let’s take the second one first. Anyone who is paying attention now knows that the mainstream media (MSM, for short) were planning an election-eve surprise by dropping about 380-tons of missing Iraqi super-explosives (such as RDX – which Saddam was NOT supposed to have, by the way) right at George Bush’s feet. One problem, apparently the NY Times (Pravda on the Hudson) decided they couldn’t sit on this any longer and decided to scoop (who else?) “60 Minutes”, who was set to air this story the Sunday before the election (hey, the 11th-hour Bush DUI story worked like a charm in 2000, why not go to the well once more?).
The only other problem for Kerry and the MSM is that the story has now blown up in their faces. The explosives were already long-gone (thanks to our months or farting-around at the UN when we should have been rolling tanks into Baghdad) by the time the 101st Airborne could get to them. NBC embedded reports have documented this, complete with video.
Not that any of this is slowing the John Forbes Kerry demagoguery train one bit, mind you. The MSM has served up a juicy morsel for Kerry and he’s taking big bites of it. Kerry’s new attack is that this shows the “gross incompetence” of the administration. Fact just do not matter to him (“Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts!” George Banks (David Tomlinson) in Mary Poppins), not when there’s an attempt to lie about the (at worst partially) successful Iraq mission to date.
And you don’t think for a minute that the MSM will issue any corrections on their outrageous reporting, do you? Of course not! It is only going to get worse from here (John Forbes himself gave the game away when he stated today that this “affair” was “just the tip of the iceberg” – I expect we’ll see at least 3 additional stories like this over the next 6-days). The MSM’s coverage of the campaign to date is going to turn even those most skeptical about the pervasiveness of media bias into true believers.
The MSM have never before gone so deeply in the tank for one candidate over another and we simply have no way to counter it. The problem for our side is that people will be moved by these stories, no matter how untrue or badly skewed they are. It probably means not less than 3-points for Kerry in the final week of the campaign, virtually guaranteeing that Bush will not achieve the popular-vote majority he desperately desires and so richly deserves.
That brings us to the first point – which is that Bush does not have nearly enough of a lead to counter two virtually certain events:
1) That late-breaking undecided voters will break to the challenger (Kerry) – they always do, and
2) The Democrats have plans in place to commit voter-fraud on a scale never-before seen in any “free” election in history – and there is almost nothing that can be done to stop it.
The first of these points is self-evident. We have to assume that GWB has hit his high-water mark for this election. If he’s at 48% in a state now, that’s probably about as high as he’s going to get. With Nader becoming a non-factor in this race, 48% is simply not going to get it done.
This is especially true when we consider point 2; the systematic exercise of voter-fraud that the Democrats and their leftist allies (MoveOn.org, ACT, etc.) have been planning (and financing) for possibly every day since the Supreme Court ended the madness in Florida in December 2000. In states like Colorado (9 electoral votes), Florida (27), Ohio (20), Wisconsin (10), and at least 3 others, tens-of-thousands of people who are otherwise ineligible to legally vote on November 2nd (illegal aliens, people who cannot verify their address, people who have already voted) will walk into polling places (probably in big cities where vote fraud is a art form) and demand a “Provisional Ballot”. For any of you who don’t know, a “Provisional Ballot” is a vehicle by which any human can walk, crawl or slither into a poling place – without providing any proof that they are registered, or even eligible, to vote – and vote. It is a foregone conclusion that 90% of these votes will go to Kerry, and in states like those listed above, with the narrow margins expected, these “votes” could be enough to swing the election to the communist-sympathizer, traitor and self-described war criminal.
The Democrats have already given away the game here as well – obviously they feel with the MSM providing cover for them that they have no need to hide this outright theft of the election. Tad Devine, a senior advisor to the Kerry campaign, was recently quoted as saying (and I’m paraphrasing only a bit) that “if all the votes are counted, John Kerry will win. Period!” That was not campaign rhetoric. It was a tip-off as to the Democrat strategy for this election – simply put, they are going to litigate the provisional ballots, almost all of which will be fraudulent, until they find some judge and some court somewhere what will force them to be counted as if they were legitimate.
A simple strategy.
Audacious and criminal yes, but also very, very simple.
And do you thing our side will be able to do anything about it? If you think so, consider this: the prevailing belief among a strong majority of voters is that blacks in Florida were disenfranchised on a massive scale during the 2000 election. Where do we get this belief? Why, from the MSM and Democrat press releases, of course. That said, did you know that there has never been a single documented case of a single person (black, brown, yellow, purple or otherwise) who was actually disenfranchised in Florida in the 2000 election? Not a one - zero, zip, zilch, nada. Yet, the belief of widespread disenfranchisement persists to this day.
In 2000, it was confined to one state. Think we'll have any more success beating back the demagogues when it's on a national scale? I didn't think so.
So, the bottom line is that unless George Bush is ahead by not less than 5-6 points in national polls, and at or above 50% in the states where he needs to be in order to get to the magic 270, I’m afraid that we are looking at the prospect that in January we will be witnessing the inauguration of John Forbes Kerry, a certified traitor to his country, and a man so ludicrously disqualified for the Presidency that the very prospect of this scenario should give you goose bumps (I have them as I type).
That being the case, I suppose I should jot down a few thoughts about what I think 4-years of John Forbes Kerry as President would be like. Granted, I only get through the first year, but I think you'll get the point.
For starters, I expect that the GOP will retain a narrow majority in the House of Representatives (Thank God!) but probably lose the Senate through the judicious use of the very same voter fraud outlined above (you don’t believe the Democrats are only interested in stealing the White House, do you?). As such, you can expect the already weak-kneed GOP Senate delegation to lose whatever backbone they may have had previously and basically bend-over for any nominee (Judicial or Administrative) that Kerry sends to them. Kerry’s judicial nominees will make Clinton’s look like Clarence Thomas by comparison.
The GOP faithful will (rightfully) be disgusted with the performance of their senators and we could very well end up with a full-blown revolt on our hands unless someone steps up to take the lead (and Bill Frist sure ain’t the dude). Look for someone like Rick Santorum (PA), Jeff Sessions (AL) or John Kyl (AZ) to come-up big here.
Once the American MSM and world-wide orgasm of Kerry’s victory (or, more appropriately, Bush’s defeat) subsides into afterglow, the realities of the world will set in. Having defeated Bush without even having had to blow-up anything, we can expect that al Qaeda will only become more emboldened and that Iraq will quickly degenerate into more of a mess. Our few remaining allies (who didn’t take very kindly to Candidate Kerry referring to them as the “Coalition of the Bribed and the Bought”) will quickly bail out on Iraq, leaving our overextended and overworked soldiers, marines and airmen at the mercy of a rejuvenated terrorist movement. All of this will be reported in the MSM as being “stunning and dramatic progress” – toward what, they will never specify.
Terrorism will grow dramatically worse as President Kerry makes good on his promise to allow the enemies of the United States (such as the U.N.) veto power over the exercise of our foreign policy (the so-called “Global Test” – with a certified America-hater in Kofi Annan serving as the Head Proctor of the exam). The leftist fringe, to whom Kerry will owe his election, will demand that we be “honest brokers” in the Middle East – which will only happen if Kerry sells-out Israel. Israel in turn, feeling that her very existence is now in very real danger, will (not entirely unjustifiably) lash out at some of her more aggressive neighbors (Syria and Iran), and the entire region will be aflame in war probably by Labor Day 2005. We will likely see another major attack on our soil by then, which President Kerry and the MSM will dutifully lie at the feet of now ex-President George W. Bush.
Kerry, for whom hindsight passed for wisdom during the campaign and who's "plans" in the end really do amount to little more than a cotillion of complaints and loosely connected policy ideas, when faced with the challenge of having to actually do something for the first time in his 20-year political career, reverts to his senatorial instincts and dithers. The problems with terrorism only get worse from there.
Domestically, we can expect that Kerry will get his tax increases, which will predictably plunge the already fragile economy into recession, resulting in lay-offs, unemployment approaching 7% within a year, and federal deficits in the range of $700 billion – all of which will be once again blamed on George Bush.
The rest of Kerry’s agenda will likely be held up (thankfully) as long as the GOP holds the House, but some of the more obnoxious elements (the Medicaid expansion, the “re-importation” of prescription drugs from Canada, the “full funding” of the No-Child(and Teacher’s-Wallet, apparently)-Left-Behind-Act – all of which will be unmitigated disasters played-up as “stunning successes” in the MSM) will likely make it through a narrowly divided (222-213, I predict) House.
The military, falling well short of their recruiting and retention goals – to say nothing of Kerry’s “vision” of expanding the services by 2-Divisions (40,000 men) – will be the subject of endless deliberation in the Administration and Congress, until the Kerry-Edwards Administration proposes the very thing that they demagogued more than any thing else in the run-up to the 2004 election – a draft.
It is at this point that 2005-2006 in America starts to look like a reply of 1968-1969, and frankly I’d rather not think too much about that.
Note that it gives me no joy to put this to electronic paper – but I believe it is my mission in life to see things as they are, not as they ought to be.
