5. You know Senator Zell Miller must have made the Democrats long for a carload of Miller Lite with his speech.  To have a Democrat systematically pull their wet noodle candidate apart like an eagle on a rabbit carcass, probably leaves a stubborn Democrat no other recourse or relief than sucking on a brew or ten.  Of course, they could castigate Zell and for diversion?s sake state that his speech is unimportant because  -- horror of horrors! -- he was angry.  And being angry towards the ludicrous left is a No-No, no?  The argument runs that because Zell was angry we should not listen to him, but instead disbelieve his accurate rehearsal of Senator Kerry?s Senate voting record where JFK, too,  opposed

And despite the fact every one of these defense systems has been successful and importantly contributed to the freeing of millions of people, we must simply believe Kerry will be strong on defense.

My ClashPoint is this:  Unlike Kerry during the DNC, Bush at the RNC clearly laid out his vision for us both domestically and militarily while Cheney humorously gave Kerry?s vacillating Senatorial voting record a swift kick to the shins.  The Democratic kicker is that Bush and Cheney found enthusiastic acceptance within a very diverse yet unified Republican, Democrat and Independent crowd!  This has got to be quite the pain in the Democratic derri?.  They must be thinking, ?How can this be??  ?How can moderate Democrats, Independents and Republicans and staunchly conservative Republicans get along in such a party when the only thing that works for us Dems is political inbreeding and cloning? 

Well, kids, Bush?s double-digit lead in the polls boils down to the fact that in the midst of our social and fiscal differences, we understand something that the left doesn?t seem to get: we are at war with an implacable enemy who has nothing to negotiate, who hates us and who wants us dead.  Therefore, first things first: we are focused on stopping those people -- the terrorists --  on their turf, and crippling nations that support them in wanting to kill us and all freedom loving people. 

We do this, because with them still around we cannot continue this great American experiment and export freedom to other countries.  And it is here, at this aggressive militaristic point, where the resolute George W. Bush makes the questionable John Forbes Kerry look positively scary.
