Is their an election coming up?

At the G8 in Germany this week President Bush played to perfection his assigned role of chief war criminal and global environment-despoiler, with an interesting new sideline as nasty bully of those nice, peaceable Russians.

This is a great line, I wish I wrote it. Gerald Baker whom I mention later did.
In the GOP debate the other night, it resembled a lefty blog, bash Bush. To say I was disappointed with the candidates is an understatement. He is our sitting President fighting a war for the survival of the west without screaming "This is Sparta" every five minutes. He valiantly led our country out of 9/11 militarily and economically. Why did the terrorists wish to level JFK? Fear and economic destruction. Remember that test question, it will come up another day.
Thus, this caused some reflection. Is GW bad like spoiled milk? Is he evil like a Will Ferrel's landlord in the racy video that's out? Is he an idiot like Ted Kennedy and a bottle of scotch? Did he lead us astray into Iraq like either Clinton and the truth? Does he really eat the babies of Hispanic immigrants thus he amnesty bill to maintain his food supply?
The answer is a collective "No."
GW will not go down as our greatest Prez, that belongs to the esteemed Teddy Roosevelt, sorry Reaganites. But he will be judged mercilessly on the War in Iraq. And I still believe years from now it will be seen as war skimmed the scum. The world will be able to see where evil lies and who lies for evil.

The Chinese support the genocide in Darfur with the oil they buy from Sudan's regime.

Venezuela is becoming a totalitarian regime much like Papa Joe Stalin's lovefest.

Iran is out to destroy Israel with unrestrained glee while Europe says stop. Or they'll say stop again.

Syria is so dirty and has their hands dripping in blood from Beirut to Baghdad and the media is in unfathomable denial.

The Wahhabi led Saudi Arabia still is a theocratic terrorist funding zone.

Are we evil? If you are the slightest bit unsure, you are tragically ignorant. Be smarter.

Back to the election of 2008. With the inevitable Fred Thompson incursion, the race will finally start making sense. This is an election for the Democrats to lose, we heard that in 2000. We got a whole mess of whining and complaining of fraud because they ran a crappy campaign and lost. Gerald Baker brings a couple points where they can still lose in 08:

The first is the candidate. If you ask voters the so-called “generic” question – do you want the Democrats or the Republicans to win the White House next year – the Democrats win by a mile. But if you put real names and faces on those generic party titles, something odd happens. The Republicans have the edge in most of the putative head-to-head matchups. Rudy Giuliani, John McCain, the suddenly fashionable actor-turned politician Fred Thompson, all win most of their putative contests against likely Democratic contenders. Why is this?

Hillary ...

is experienced, knowledgeable, disciplined and self-assured. But she still makes the hairs on the backs of the necks of a surprisingly large number of Democrat-inclined voters stand on end. They just don’t like her, and don’t trust her chameleon-like political changes.

Obama ...

almost inhumanly likeable, charming and excitingly new. But his lack of any real experience is a worry to voters who may not want to entrust their security to a man who just a few years ago was an ambitious local politician in Illinois.

the second point:

If the US begins a substantial drawdown of troops after that, and Iraq and the region descends into more chaos, the Democrats could easily find themselves suddenly to blame for a dwindling war effort and spiralling global insecurity over which they have no real control.

thus opening Pandora's Box and letting the Lefty's dirty little secret out.
