Reply #6: The swing voters...

[Dan]

Well, the Democrats can't relax but lets look at the voter demographics:

The groups that voted for Bush in 2000 and do you think that they will vote for him in the 2004:
* Military Voters - and will the GOP demand that the military
absentee ballots be counted.
* Federal Workers
* Voters in Nevada (reference the potential nuclear cleanup
/ repository being proposed, which the Bush Admin said would
not be located there during the campaign.
* Those that believe the bs about being a compassionate con-
servative (some pro-choice voters that bought into that)..
* Moderate GOP voters that believed that Powell, etc. would be
a moderating influence and stablizing force for this admin.
* Veterans that now are seeing his proposals for on Veterans
issues.
* Teachers that may have believed the crap about the Texas
educational system - that was based on lies.
* Even Texans that are facing their own state hell as a direct
and indirect result of his policies and decisions (case in
point, ENRON workers that are restricted in what legal
actions and compensations that they can realize).
* Ethical people of all political persuasions - this groups
is an ethical nightmare;
* I concede that the morality group might vote for Bush in
2004, because it is possible that he and Laura don't have
sex.
* Greens that voted for Nader - how will they vote in the
future.
* The Jewish voters that voted for Buchanan (sic) might this
time choose to vote for a democrat.
* Arabic / Muslim voters that voted GOP - having seen their
young men targeted unfairly based on race/ethnicity will
they vote for him (ie from what I read approximately 90%
of the either Florida or Michigan Muslim community voted
for Bush.
* I would imagine a lot of older voters that lived through
WWII - and can appreciate this "pre-emtive doctrine" must
have some serious second thoughts about his foreign policy.
* But we also need some help from foreign governments - sadly
they will have to continue their policies of targeting
states where Bush has promoted trade policies to the ben-
efit of the states (because of potential votes).
* The Retired and Elderly (AARP) will they support the crap
of this admin? Especially now, people are slowly beginning
to understand and appreciate the impact of his having
spent and redistributed the wealth of this nation to the
already rich. Combined with his total indifference to the
nations masses.
* I don't know if our 51st and 52nd states will be allowed to
vote in 2004, but given his indifference to their economic
plights they might vote against him (Afganistan and Iraq)
for those that don't understand the purpose of empire build-
ing.
* NewYorkers that maybe now realize that he was and is willing
to gamble on the health of the workers (reference the EPA
issues right after 911) so that the Corporations can
continue business as usual.
* Need I ask about those workers that might see an increase
in the number of hours that they might be required to work
without OT in the future.
* The recently unemployed combined with the ripple effect of
high unemployment - and even worse, the loss of the ability
within the states to provide social programs to cushion the
effects of high unemployment.
* Those that preach the bs of self-reliance that no longer
have jobs, and now maybe, are beginning to appreciate that
self reliance is not valid when Federal policies made in
Washington create conditions that negate your personal
abilities to economically survive.
* Welfare workers that now are asked to work 40 hours per week
with less and less support to help them in the transition.

I guess I could continue, the only people that I can see that would want to vote for this asswipe in the whitehouse are people like the
the idiot that writes the editorial for the Seattle Times - and he is only writing it because of personal greed; Not because he has the best interest of the nation at heart.

Sorry if I rambled... I really dislike Bush. That asshole is going to cost my family a $2-4,000 campaign donation once the Dem settles on a candidate.
