Among Delegates, Fear of Bush Becomes Powerful Uniting Force

BOSTON, July 27 -- Geraldine Emmett collected pennies as a young girl out in Arizona to help save Old Ironsides, and this week, at age 90, she finally got a look at the historic ship. It was her first trip to Boston, and she arrived saying that she had never been more afraid in her life. Of the cross-country flight? "No, dear," said the button-festooned matriarch of Prescott Democrats. "Of George Bush!"

Young and old, black and white, Arab and Jew, male and female, feed-corn farmer and real estate developer, even Yankee fan and Red Sox fan -- the multitude of Democrats who have gathered here say they feel more together in spirit and purpose than at any convention in recent times, bound by the proposition that their country, and as well as the world, have never been more divided, and by a belief that President Bush is the reason.

1. Yes-its true
Chimpazoid scares the hell out of me-not since Nixon have we had a President this crazy with this much power-his administration is an evil cabal which seeks to destroy the very foundation of our modern republic and if the GOP can't see that-the Democratic Party will have to yet again get the nations' chestnuts out of the fire
