 SATURDAY'S
GET OUT THE VOTE TOUR
It was about 11:00 Saturday night before I realized that I only had about 3
hours sleep in the previous 36 hours. I can't tell you what a
fantastic time we had Saturday on the Hannity get out the vote tour.
Sean, Bill Bennett, Oliver North, Ralph Reed and I visited Jacksonville,
Orlando, Pensacola, Cleveland and Cincinnati before I bailed and headed
home. Well ... actually I missed Jacksonville because the weather wouldn't
let me land at Craig field. The crowds were much larger than I
anticipated. In short, it was a tremendous experience. Time's short
for writing any more here ... but you'll hear more about the trip on the show
today. I
WISH I COULD FEEL OPTIMISTIC Sorry, I just don't. It's too close, and the entire thing is going to
turn on voter turnout. As I've said, Democrats are a lot better at the
turnout game than are Republicans. It's no mystery why. People more
likely to vote Democrat are less likely to have a sense of independence and
individuality. They're followers, and as followers they're easily herded. Bush's best chance is rain ... bad weather in the battleground states.
Bad weather will suppress the Democratic vote. And just why is that? Think
about it. The Democratic party is the party of dependency; dependency on
government. If these people can't be expected to actually get an
education, develop a job skill and find a job somewhere, and then manage to
generate some degree of economic independence ... why would you expect them to
get out there in bad weather to vote? These people don't like hardship,
and they don't like putting forth one more bit of effort than they have to in
order to survive. If it rains many of them will stay indoors and let
someone else take care of things for them. After all, that's been their
lifestyle for years, why change now? NO
SECRET BALLOT There is no such thing as a secret ballot in this year's election. It's
not just about you and what you want the government to do for you. When
you walk into that voting booth tomorrow --- if, in fact, you do --- you're
going to have company. You could have Osama bin Laden standing there
with his arm around your shoulder giving you a pat on the back as you cast your
vote, or you could have the families of 9/11 standing there thanking you for not
abandoning them. Then there's your children and grandchildren. This
isn't about you and what you want the government to do for you. This is
about the future of our Republic. DOES
IT COME DOWN TO BEING ANTI-AMERICAN ... OR NOT? I heard of an interesting survey last night. Someone looked at foreign
newspapers considered to be anti-American and those considered to be
pro-American. Without exception, those foreign newspapers considered to be
anti-American were endorsing (if that's the word) Kerry in this election.
Newspapers friendly to the United States were endorsing Bush. We can't be any more plain about this. If you vote for John Kerry, you
are siding with anti-American sentiment in Europe and around the world. Do
you have to be hit in the head with a two-by-four? .... or am I just wasting my breath at this point. I
SAID IT WOULD HAPPEN -- I JUST THOUGHT THAT ONLY DEMOCRATS WOULD DO IT I've been warning you for months that politicians would step forward prior to
the election and use the Campaign Finance Reform Act to try to shut down talk
radio. Well, I was both right and wrong. Politicians have indeed
stepped forward to use this hideous law to try to shut down talk radio, but they
were Republicans, not Democrats as I had predicted. Believe it or not, the Republican Party has filed a complaint with the
Federal Elections Commission against KFI radio in Los Angeles. The
National Republican Campaign Committee is complaining that when John and Ken
endorsed a Democratic congressional candidate named Cynthia Matthews they were
in fact giving Matthews an unlawful campaign contribution valued at more than
$25,000. The Democrats haven't been left out in this scenario. They
used the same excuse to complain about Sinclair Broadcasting planning to air
that "Stolen Honor" documentary last week. OK .. you expect that
of Democrats. I'm just sad that the Republican Party is playing the same
game. If the Libertarian Party was only up to fighting terrorism ..... 
Yep, Fark has had at Neal again. More
unlikely Wheaties boxes
BEHIND
THE POODLE'S OSAMA ENDORSEMENT
If you look closely at Osama Bin Laden's commercial for the Kerry campaign
broadcast on Al-Jazeera, he makes it very clear that he wants The Poodle
in the White House. Do you hear that? The Islamic terrorist who
slaughtered 3,000 people on 9/11 wants to elect John Kerry. Why would 48%
of the country follow Osama's lead? Maybe Al-Qaeda has better health care.
Bin Laden's video was filled with Democratic talking points, including the
Michael Moore accusation that George Bush sat idly by in a classroom in Florida
while the airplanes hit the towers. Isn't that nice? Osama's a
Michael Moore fan! Who would have guessed it? Osama also echoed The
Poodle on Patriot Act, and accused George Bush of stealing the 2000 election in
Florida. Sounds like Osama got the Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD in the mail from
Michael Moore, or maybe the DNC sent him a copy!
The Poodle has found a new Democratic constituency to go with the teacher's
unions and the trial lawyers: Islamic terrorists. A vote for Kerry is a
vote for the continued Islamic terrorist reign of Osama Bin Laden. After
all, that's just what he wants you to do.
POLLING
FOR BIN LADEN So what did the Kerry/Edwards campaign do in response to the Bin Laden
tape? Obviously, when the #1 sworn enemy of the United States appears on
television like that, it should be simple to quickly and easily call it what it
is. But not when it comes to the appeasers in The Poodle's campaign.
Kerry's game plan? When the man who murdered 3000 Americans rears his head
four days before the election, run a poll! That's right, take a poll and
see how American felt about Osama Bin Laden.
Think back to three years ago, just after the 9/11 attacks on our country.
Did you ever think that anyone would have to take a poll to see how people felt
about it? Would there have been any reason to ask "how do you feel
about Osama Bin Laden?" No....because everybody wanted him
dead. But now that some time has passed, and people have forgotten
what happened, The Appeaser wanted to know how people felt about Uncle
Osama before he made his decision where he stood. Put the finger up in the
air and see which way the political winds were blowing.
The safety and security of the United States should be the #1 issue in this
election, and one candidate continues to do everything possible to protect this
nation, regardless of what the polls say. That person would not be John
Kerry.
Maybe The Poodle's campaign should take a poll of the people who died on 9/11,
and see how they feel? Oh wait...they can't respond. They're dead.
Almost forgot. You watch Kerry long enough and you can almost forget that
9/11 ever happened! Michael Moore says that Bush sat and did nothing
for 7 minutes. Kerry sat and did nothing for three years! He
couldn't even bring himself to attend meetings of the Senate Intelligence
Committee!
THE
ECONOMY CONTINUES TO BOOM
Lost in all of the pro-Kerry, Bush-bashing media coverage of the campaign is
this little fact: the economy is booming. Things are better right now then
they have been in years. Home ownership is at record levels and jobs are
being created at a rapid pace. But since good economic news won't elect
The Poodle, you're not going to hear much about it anywhere else.
Right now, unemployment is at a three- year low of 5.4%. That's lower than
the average of the last three decades, and low than it was when Bill Clinton was
reelected in 1996. Of course, when there's a Democrat in the White House,
5.4% would be considered extremely low unemployment and the media would call it
as such. Not so when you apply the media double standard.
The economy is also rapidly expanding. The economy is growing at an
average annual rate of 3.5 percent, which is faster than the overall average
since 1970. Consumer spending is up too.
The Bush tax cuts have unleashed an economic boom from the ashes of the 2000
Clinton recession. It's too bad the media is letting the Democrats get
away with the lie that the economy is in bad shape, because it's not. And here's a hint for you Democrats out there. Just because YOU don't
have a job doesn't mean that our economy sucks. Your employment status is
quite possibly more a measure of the cumulative effects of your own decision
making than it is of the state of our economy. Someday you may learn to
take responsibility for yourself ... but then you wouldn't be a Democrat, would
you?
READING ASSIGNMENTS
Today's editorial from The Wall Street Journal. The
Bush Record. Don't forget...the magic number is 270, and George
Bush still maintains an electoral advantage.
Despite his disagreements with the president, George
Will is endorsing George Bush. The reason? The Poodle doesn't stand
for anything. No surprise there.
There are no justifications for voting for John Kerry and people usually can't
name any. Other than the fact that he isn't George Bush, that is. Mark
Steyn explains.
If you vote just based on the candidate's character, President Bush wins easily,
hands-down. Jeff
Jacoby says there is an enormous difference between George Bush and The
Poodle.
The media loves to talk about how close the race is, and how it is
deadlocked.....except the small manner of a recent Newsweek
poll that shows Bush up by 6 points. Must be a fluke, right?
The 'October Surprise' was supposed to be launched last night on CBS. But
the 380 tons of explosives story turned out to not really be true, and instead
has backfired on The Poodle. Jack
Kelly looks at the aftermath.
Looks like wherever Osama Bin Laden is, Michael Moore provided him with a
screening of 'Fahrenheit 9/11.' John
Podhoretz notes a similarity between the movie and the Osama tape.
Of course, Kerry immediately politicized the Bin Laden tape. It's all
George Bush's fault, and The Poodle will fight a better war on terror...blah
blah blah.....William
Kristol and Stephen F. Hayes look at the Democratic nominee's response.
The networks are still pushing John Kerry's candidacy and downplaying George
Bush's. The
Media Research Center is there with a full report.
Ann Coulter has a new book out, and Ben
Shapiro has an extensive review. Arguing with liberals will never be
the same.
With the race almost over, it's time to look at some of the predictions. Michael
Barone says the conventional wisdom was wrong all over the place.
The 380 tons of missing explosives story has exposed the media's real
agenda. After all, the story was over a year old, so why bring it up
now? Pat
Buchanan looks at the issue.
Before you go into the booth tomorrow and pull the lever, punch the chad or fill
in the circle for The Poodle, Diana
West says it's gut-check time. You may have forgotten a few things
about John Kerry.
The head loon of the White House press corps, Helen
Thomas, says that a Bush victory would mean dark times. Bring on the
dark ages!
Kerry's stepson called
President Bush a coke head. That's not nice, is it?
