A DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGE
Re: William Tucker's A Plea for Democracy:

Now that I see how the losers are reacting, I have to say that Tucker's "A Plea for Democracy" was exactly right. It's comforting to know that it was written when he didn't know who would win.

Amen, George, Amen! Thanks for saying what so many of us were trying to say Tuesday.

Spot on and well said.

Morality and ethics are not exclusive to Republicans of any religion. There are millions of Atheists, many of them Republicans, with moral and ethical standards that far surpass what I see from so many right-wing "so called" religious Americans.

George W. Bush, and his Master Puppeteers, made sure that the "REAL" issues were never addressed and that his so-called morality, and the threat of "TERROR," were pushed down the throats of millions of Americans until they were whipped up in a frenzy of outrage against nothing but a sleazy "parlor trick." What scares me is that the last time a deception of this magnitude worked was in Nazi Germany with another nut-case named Adolph Hitler.

You, and your religious-fanatic supporters, scare a huge majority of this county to death and we cannot understand your support of George W. Bush, who appears to a vast number of Americans to have few moral or ethical standards.

I hope YOUR God, who bears absolutely no resemblance to the God I was raised to believe in, can help preserve this country from George W. Bush, who may turn out to be remembered as our first "war criminal" President.

"A Party On Its Knees." YOU GOT IT RIGHT! We are on our knees praying to protect America from the religious fanatics in this country and their warped agenda to push their fanatical beliefs down the throats of all the people of the world. Sounds like Nazi Germany again!

By-the-way, what happened to the "separation of Church and State?" Guess that is another little issue Mr. Bush can take care of for you when he gets his chance to revamp the Supreme Court!

Your comment: "In his lunging attacks on Bush's religion, Kerry often said that "faith without deeds is dead." The American people ended up agreeing with him -- about his."

This came closest to any reason I've yet seen printed on why Kerry lost this election. Kerry was unable to connect the qualities of integrity, conviction, and real faith in God, to any of his words or actions. My lasting impression of Kerry is liar and hypocrite.

George Neumayr had yet another good piece on the hypocrisy of the RATS in their pursuit of a higher power (office, that is). He could also point out the type of religion that RATS would feel comfortable discussing actually is being rejected by Americans as well Liberal denominations have long been on the decline in this country while evangelical denominations continue to flourish. Poor RATS a day late and a dollar short. Faith without works is dead, and faith without faith is a Democrat.
