apnews.myway.com/article/20060928/D8KE563G0.htmlThis may have worked in 2004 (when yours truly grudgingly voted for Bush over a bumbling John Kerry), but it ain't gonna work in 2006 for the R's. Thinking about voting straight Democrat out of pure spite.

What's a political discussion doing on this board? Didn't we ban those?
;D
Unless you were just speaking personally ( i.e. - it doesn't work on you), I think you're crazy if you believe this strategy doesn't still work for Republicans. If what you're saying is it shouldn't still work for them, that could be a topic of endless discussion. But it does still work for them, so you can probably expect much more of the same over the next 40 days.
And, just a personal opinion, Dems might want to invest in some duct tape for former President Carter (a.k.a. History's Greatest Nightmare). For every gain they get when Bill Clinton speaks up, I think they lose it when Carter does the same.
But that's just what I think, which - along with a buck-oh-five - will buy you freedom or a Metro ride.

It's at least $1.35 now. |

Because after all, if you don't throw in your buck-oh-five, who will? 'Cause the only reason you're here / Is 'cause folks died for you in the past / So maybe now it's your time / To die kicking some ass!!! |

I thought both campaigns were run badly, and thought the scare tactics and the Swift Boat attacks were dumb. They were not the reason I voted for Bush. Had the D's articulated some sort of coherent course of action domestically or internationally, I would have gladly voted Democrat in '04. However, the R's, both in Congress and the White House, have been so ineffective in the past two years that I am no longer sure whether or not the D's running an ineffective campaign or having no real party strategy really matters to me anymore. I think a lot of people may jump off the sinking ship. The WSJ apparently has: www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110009026 |
