The Negativity of the Left Will be Their Downfall

The left has only one option...attack, attack, attack. Negative attacks are neverending right now with the weak Democratic candidates that will have, in my opinion, very little chance of unseating Bush on 2004. The negativity is EXACTLY what is destroying their party. Americans are tired of politics. We're tired of the attack ads...ads that are hardly ever based in truth. We're tired of the candidates acting as tho the government has gone thru some radical change under Bush, when we all know it hasn't.

Here are just a few negative (and laughable) quotes from the desparate democratic hopefuls.
--------------------------------------------
"...and he's declared war on the American people." (dick gephardt)
President Bush has "declared war on the American people?" That's funny. I wonder if Mr. Gephardt could explain HOW the president has done this. Unlike the former democratic president who was banned from practicing law by at least 2 agencies (because of the crimes he committed), a man who lied to the American public on more than one occassion...President Bush has, thus far, turned out to be an honest man who has, overall, stuck fairly close to his ideals and has led with his heart not focus groups and polls. How do you even TRY to make sense of a ridiculous statement like this? I'm doing pretty well...no one has declared war on me. Any of you other Americans feel as tho Bush has delcared war on you? No? I didn't think so...

"...we have a pinocchio president...the president's nose keeps growing" (bob graham)
Graham, who is famous for keeping his semi-psychotic daily diary of what snacks he ate, what color socks he wore, and if he wore a tie or not, is just silly in claiming the president is a liar. I can't name one lie he's told, let alone make a list long enough to call him a liar in general. More immaturity on the part of a man who helps make the laws in this country. It is scary, isn't it?

"...we need a regime change at home." (john kerry)
We all know that the word "regime" usually carries a negative connotation, and of course that's Kerry's point. He is clearly trying to compare the Bush white house to the Iraqi regime of Hussein. That's not only unfair, it's wrong.

Just 3 quotes out of thousands I could probably list here. The GOP, for the most part, refuses to run attack ads like these (even tho many republican pubdits urge them to do so), because- well, because they're a different breed altogether if you ask me. They know that people are tired of the same old thing...and attack ads DON'T work. They just show the voters how petty and immature you can be.
