I don't think anyone has suggested checking membership cards or asking questions about religious preference. The Republican party has iits share of loudmouths (I believe you mentioned Limbaugh) but for some reason Republican loudmouths tend to make more sense than do those of the Democrats (hope you caught the latest performance for the Hon. Robert C Byrd D. WV) If that doesn't win some kind of award for total phony the contest is rigged) and dont forget the Kennedys. Glad to have you in a Republican state of mind - and it doesnt hurt to be on the winning side occasionally.
With the next presidential election about 18 months away, many Americans today think President Bush will be re-elected to a second term and, in head-to-head matchups, Bush bests the top Democratic contenders.
In the latest FOX News nationwide poll of registered voters, conducted by Opinion Dynamics Corporation May 6-7, a majority (61 percent) predicts Bush will be re-elected, while 20 percent think he will be a one-term president.
Republicans are confident in their party leader retaining his office, as fully 85 percent think Bush will be re-elected compared to only 38 percent of Democrats. Independents fall in between with 57 percent thinking Bush will win in 2004.
