My biggest fear!

We all know that Bush will stop at nothing to retake the white house.
We all know he stole the 2000 election. Some of us believe that Bush allowed Nick Berg to be executed to save his political ass. Who's to say that 2-4 weeks before the election if Kerry is leading Big in the polls that something might "Happen to Him"

That did it to RFK!

along that order too. :scared: :scared:

RFK died during the primaries, not the GE. Furthermore, there's never been any indication that the Republicans were behind his murder.

may have been a little out there. AS far as Bush goes, what has he shown us that suggests he wouldn't if he had too. Desperate men do Desperate things

he didn't kill Ann Richards. He didn't kill Al Gore.

I know people here think he's personally ordered the murders of many opponents, but then a lot of people on Free Republic think Clinton did, too. I think both sides are nuts.

With Ann Richards and Al Gore, Bush didn't have that kind of power yet. He has CIA and Black Opps now. I doubt Clinton would have let a politician die without a full investigation to follow. With Bush as President there is no accountability.

Is there a Bush Family Evil Empire with deep connections to the CIA, the Trilateral Commission, the World Bank et. al., or was he just a lowly one-term governor of Texas?

(smarmy grin of the damned)

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

Welcome to DU! Love your nickname! I have an image of a sweet, seditiously "innocent" kitten knocking over porcelain sacred cows on the mantle of Washington DC!

Enough of the "left wing" we need Left WHISKERS!

Meow!

Exactly. I will never forget the sleaze machine that Bush turned on McCain and his family after New Hampshire. Bush is probably the dirtiest politician this century will ever see.

How are you going to campaign hard against a man who was just shot?

He comes back out hard, gets the sympathy vote, and wins.

a martyr.

God, I hope that doesn't happen.

doesn't in any way reflect Zell Miller.

I know it's sorta hip to pretend that the DLC is the Republican Party redux, but it's not.

In fact, here's a DLC press release regarding Miller:

Miller's Crossing

One of the stranger pheonomena in contemporary U.S. politics has been the decisive lurch of Sen. Zell Miller -- once the most jaundiced of yellow-dog Democrats, and an outstanding progressive governor of Georgia -- into the orbit, if not yet formally the ranks, of the GOP. We've already published in Blueprint magazine an informed opinion of Miller's recent book and the psychological factors contributing to his recent apostasy from his own party. He's free, of course, to cross the line and leave the Democratic Party whenever he wants. But instead, he's crossed a more fundamental line by pretending that his party has left him, and that he represents other Democrats who feel the same.

In a comment on Sen. John Kerry's appearance at the DLC's National Conversation last week -- posted on the Bush-Cheney '04 website, no less -- Miller claimed that "from statehouses to Congress ... Democrats are running away" from Kerry, and that the Democratic nominee is "at odds with the DLC when he condemns the president for liberating Iraq" (which, of course, Kerry has never done). In a conference call with reporters arranged by the Bush campaign, Miller reiterated his argument that Kerry is "at odds with the DLC in so many ways."

The truth is that the Democratic Party is about as united as we've ever seen it, in no small part because of the destructive policies of Zell Miller's candidate, George W. Bush. Having thoroughly and ruthlessly abandoned anything like genuine bipartisanship, Bush and his party are now reduced to pure deception in pretending they have any support, or any reason for support, from Democrats. Miller alone is cooperating in that deception.

It's truly sad to watch this famously independent man become just another transmission belt for RNC talking points and attack lines, and to hear his once-distinctive voice become just another echo of the conservative media machine. His only value to his new Republican friends is that increasingly irrational "D" next to his name on Senate roll calls. But among Democrats, Zell Miller speaks only for himself.

my disgust is deep over the absence of an alternative to America's pro-corporate pro-war parties, and the resistance of the leadership of our party to populist concerns about these sacrosanct issues.

Perhaps zell isn't the right one to point to...maybe Lieberman..but the point is, we can be nearly positive that the individual chosen would be rightward of Kerry and will not try to reign in corporate power or the war machine.
