Whither the Democrats

Authored by Michael Pate on September 15th, 2003 at 3:37 PM

Although I am a Democrat, I am no ideologue. In some local and state elections, I have proudly crossed party lines for candidates I thought were appreciably better. I believe that the most important issue facing the world is international terrorism, and it is my current intention to vote for George W. Bush for re-election. I do not agree with him on many domestic issues, ranging from privatizing Social Security to tax reductions favoring the wealthy. However, because of his leadership and successes in the war against international terrorism, he is my current choice in 2004. - Ed Koch

I think of those yellow ribbons and American flags I saw in Kentucky, in the towns along the way, through Indiana and Missouri and I know that behind those doors are union members and blacks and women — traditional Democratic voters. I also know that while Dean is meeting with the white, educated, internet savvy males at a Weblogger Meetup in San Francisco (earning some more Internet bucks), Bush is speaking at a plant that builds bombs here in St. Louis, giving an uncomplicated speech that’s equal parts patriotism, anger, hope, and fear. - Shelley Powers

The Left finally admitted it, they want us to lose this war. Many of them undoubtedly secretly rejoice each time an American soldier is killed. Now, not every Democrat belongs to the Looney Left, most don’t, but enough of them do to tar the whole lot with this brush, especially since none of the Democratic Presidential candidates have put forth credible ideas for dealing with terrorism. Next summer, the Republicans are going to pound the Democrats by sending this message to the working class families of American soldiers: “The Liberals don’t give a damn about your kids in the service, they are defeatist and they have contempt for the country and the ideals your kids serve.” - Dave Kaiser
