3 Major Victories in One Week

ITS ON

Im still not extremely optimistic about November as far as the GOP is concerned, but recent developments have really helped Republicans in my opinion. The first major even is the war between Israel and Hezbollah. Even Bill Mahar said that as far as that issue is concerned, Bush is the best president we have ever had. All of Bush's predecessors have failed miserably when it came to brokering a peace between Israel and its hostile neighbors. One can only hold off the inevitable for so long. President Bush realizes that they are going to have to fight it out to show is has the upper hand. Allowing Israel to dismantle much of Hezbollah is brilliant, even thought the Israeli campaign has been far from perfect. Bush has impressed alot of people, especially some on the left. You cannot count the crowd who will disagree with any type of armed conflict. They are truly crazy. But many influential liberals in this country are Jewish, and they obviously want to see Israel prevail. Unfortunately, a cease fire is supposed to be put into effect in a matter of hours from now, but reports show that the war is still raging on. Regardless of what happens, Bush scored big on the mid-east. Kudos to him.

The next victory for the GOP is an unlikely one, and you really have to see between the lines to see the positives. Ned Lamont winning the Democratic primary in Connecticut is a Godsend for Republicans, because it shows just how liberal the mainstream Democratic Party has become. Joe Lieberman got thrown aside by his party because of one issue, and now Joe is fighting back and is running as an Independent, and the last poll had him up six points. Liberals just do not win national elections, so the more Ned Lamonts we see elected, the more the Dems are shooting themselves in the foot not just for 2006, but especially for 2008. This also should scare Hillary Clinton. It would be great for Republicans if she is challenged in '08 by someone to the left of her, which will happen. With the Dems tending so far to the left, the primary two years from now for president could be extremely nasty. Basically the Democrats will sink themselves while the GOP candidate, whomever it might be, should safely sail to the White House. I cant wait for '08.

Lastly, the thwarted terror attack of last week will certainly help Republicans. I hate to politicize terrorism, but lets face it, the Democrats have no clue on how to defeat this global enemy. It was almost comical to see many influential Dems come out and bash the president over what happened last week. Now lets see, we successfully thwarted an 9/11 type terror attack, and have stayed terror free in the US since 2001, yet Bush has failed and this country is less safe. Can someone translate that for me? Republicans are the anti-terror party, and Bush is a terror-warrior. If the 2006 elections come down to terrorism, I see another victory for the GOP.
Terrorism should still be a huge issue on the mind of every American. We have made major strides in combating terror, but we still are not completely safe, as we saw last week. We must not allow the Dems to take back this country to ruin five years of progress. If we do, the consequences could be deathly, and yes, I am trying to scare you, because terrorism is a scary thing. This country needs Republican Leadership, and I think people will realize that as we get closer to November 7th. At least I hope so.
