#1 Hopefully America's voters will recognise this as the true face of committed socialism - a grotesque hateful visage normally hidden behind masks such as 'compassion' and 'equality'. The fifth column's on the march again.

#2 I have my hopes that they will; but also my doubts.

The real danger is not from the John Kerrys of the Democratic Party; it is from Gramscian communists like the Clintons who display far more patience and stealth. They're taking us on a much longer and more circuitous route to the gulag, but that is in fact the destination they have planned for us.

#3 BD, I love it! Every time they show another unwashed, ranting loon on the TV it moves more moderate Democrats into the Bush column. It's the Democrats fault for embracing all these fringe groups and now they are reaping the 'rewards.' If the RNC is smart they will make a commercial featuring the wackiest loons and close with the saying: 'Brought to you by the Democrats.'

#4 You guys have way to much faith in sheeple.

#5 Actually, JerseyMike, I've since gotten out of my "sheeple" funk -- look at this snippet from Democratic Underground (scroll to "Bush Democrats?"), courtesy of a "saracat" from Phoenix, Arizona:

I had a horrible experience canvassing today. We went out canvassing Democrats today to ask them to support Kerry and our local candidates. We were in apartment complexes and lower middle class housing. The young Democrats living there told us they were voting for Bush! We even met a young marine who said he was just back from Iraq and supports the war, which is why he is voting for Bush. These people have nothing and they are the ones Bush is hurting the most, and yet they support him. And they are registered Dems and young. Why is this happening. I thought our base was solid. This is very frightening. We walked for five hours and only met two people who supported Kerry on our Democratic list! What does this mean?

#6 We walked for five hours and only met two people who supported Kerry on our Democratic list! What does this mean?

"...Oh my God! What does this mean? Someone tell me what to think?"

And that is why 'saracat' is a Democrat. She hasn't learned how to think (yet).

#7 *cough* Of course saracat could also be one of us.

#8 Here's a more direct link (straight to the comment), but here (Digging the Dirt) is saracat's reaction to finding out that his/her/its post was used, and demwing2's ridiculous attempt at consolation.

#9 Yee, and the following right under that (via: San Jose Mercury News)

At the Daly City event, Lori Guy, a 35-year-old high-tech worker from San Jose, was held up as an example by Kerry as a victim of bad credit-card policies.
She told the crowd how her employer, a large semiconductor manufacturer whom she did not identify, cut her salary after she moved West in 2000 to take a job. Her credit card bills piled up and she got socked with late payments, but she had no place to turn until she finally got back on her feet.
She blamed her company's outsourcing of jobs overseas for the cuts in salaries, and she had left many in the crowd believing she had been laid off.
In an interview later, however, Guy said she is still employed by the company and after two merit raises in the past year she now makes more money than she ever had.
"I just want people to know there was no place to turn when I got in trouble," she said.

Translation: She lied and told everyone she was laid off. She expected mommy-state to take care of her because she had run up her credit cards...
BTW: What the hell does her story have to do with credit-card policies other then her own over-use?
Of course if the company had simply gone bankrupt she would have had zero salary.

#10 Snicker, I was just over at DU in this thread and they're beginning to fight among themselves about why they are not getting more Kerry supporters. Loved this one by Fat Slob:
Military folks tend towards Bush. Oddly, a neighbor's kid came back from Iraq recently. He said that morale is high and that his unit is "100% behind the President". I tried to fill him in, but he was adamant in his support for Bush. They believe that he really cares about them. We know differently, but how do we convince them?
