		<description><![CDATA[You DO realize that it doesnt matter?
McCain was a genuine war hero. What was in 2004 a vital reason to vote for a guy in 2008 was irrelevent.

Experience: Imagine a guy who only a few years prior was just a state senator who spent half his time votnig &#039;present&#039;.
If it was a Palin, that&#039;s &#039;not ready&#039;... but if Obama ...

And now, they are pouncing on Ryan for being a creature of DC - huh, what about Biden - and not having foreign policy chops (hey, he&#039;s only been voting on foreign policy for 14 years!) ... funny, but that guy in 1992 who was a lifelong politician who ran a backwater state, they didnt seem to have a problem with that.

Bottom-line: The left will invent reasons to hate a conservative and ignore those same reasons in a liberal.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[trying to express that already on the cable news shows they were saying that the only reason Kerry lost was the swiftboating he received. It was laughable when I heard it last week. it was laughable during that election when the left tried to say it was the only reason. John Kerry was and still is an unlikeable ultra rich liberal. It makes me shudder to think Kerry feels he will be put in as Secretary of State when Clinton is gone, if Obama gets another term.

Oh, not sure who you mean by foul mouthed Kossack. Am one of those blond at birth flakes who often makes mistakes and never means to hurt anyone. It&#039;s been a real hardship for me as some people consider me very astute, that is until I put my foot in my mouth. LOL

The past decade or so I&#039;ve become very vocal about my beliefs in both God and the Conservative side of politics.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By 2004, a sizable chunk of the country was at the very least skeptical about Bush&#039;s handling of the Iraq war, with many already turning against the war itself. Additionally, the idea that Bush was not fully competent to do his job was approaching conventional wisdom, especially among low-information voters. On top of all that, a small but significant majority agreed with Kerry on major issues over Bush.

Yet Kerry lost anyway. Why? Because he was so incredibly unlikeable. He constantly looked like he was trying to sell people something that he didn&#039;t believe in. &quot;John Kerry, reporting for duty&quot;; the hunting trip; &quot;I was for it before I was against it.&quot; Everything he did looked like it was poll-tested to be as insipid and inoffensive as possible, which conveyed the sense that he had no core.

The only reason it was close was because of Bush&#039;s low approval ratings, which were low enough that it should have been no problem to beat him. You can&#039;t beat something with nothing, though, which is why Romney quickly needs to start forcefully laying out a plan that he really believes in instead of trying his best to talk in generalities that don&#039;t offend anyone, but that don&#039;t inspire anyone either.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[we conservatives were  white knuckling that election all the way through.  Kerry did better in the debates except towards the end; the MSM in 2004 - mark that year -  dropped the veil and came brazenly out in favor of Kerry; and in the end as with most close presidential races in the modern era it came down to Ohio and the early hours of the next day - and it was close enough in Ohio that  Kerry could have sued (not saying he was entitled to) and done a Gore 2000 redux.  My recollection, honestily, is that that election was closer than it should have been.51/49 popular and should have been more like 59/41.Back then I thought Bush had not run a good enough campaign.  In the view of hindsight now, I see the Dems pulled out every stop, inclduing the Air National Guard memo fabrication, the usual felonious voter fraud, and direct command and control absorption of the MSM as house organ of the Dem Party (Evan Thomas, Managing Editor of Newsweek: &quot;we believe our support of Kerry gives him 4 to 5 percentage points&quot;)  Wwe can still beat Dems in a presedntial. As long as we go in understanding, they will pull this stuff everytime and especially in 2012.]]></description>
