Democrats have conceded to Bush* on the issues on which he'll campaign.
Advertisements [?]
- Bush's* 'war on terrorism' is considered a success...thanks to the American media and lack of Democratic opposition. According to the media and Democratic leadership...Americans don't care that Bush* lied to force this nation into war as long as he brings 'democracy' to Iraq.

- It looks like the party will choose a more 'conservative' Democrat to run against Bush*... guaranteeing that Bush* will come out on top on the issues Democrats have already conceded to him. Democrats will be running on the economy and jobs....while Bush* will easily counter their arguments by talking perpetual war and painting a false, but rosy picture of the future.

- Bush* has a good chance of pulling off a 'win' in 2004 by touting his unchallenged 'successes' on the war on terrorism and 'protecting' America. His Democratic opponent...who more than likely voted for the Iraq war resolution...will be left looking more like a Bush* supporter than an opponent.

- Democrats have put themselves in a position where they have little left to argue against Bush* because they have conceded so many issues to him. In the end result...Bush* can point to bipartisanship and cooperation from the Democrats on nearly every issue. They helped pass the Patriot Act, Homeland Security and tax cuts for the very rich. Democrats have allowed Bush* to form a 'shadow government' and operate in secrecy with little complaint or oversight. They had little to say about election fraud, purging of voters in Florida or Bush's* obstruction of justice in the matter of the 9-11 investigation.

- The corporate-controlled American media is busy planting the seed that Americans don't want to switch 'horses in midstream'. That is...it would be wrong to replace Bush* during a 'time of war' considering that he's doing such a 'good job' of protecting America. With their lack of direct opposition...Democrats are actually helping Bush* win in 2004.
