FOX "News" has there own polling showing Kerry ahead 2-5 points on three separate criteria. If these guys can't spin Democracy down, who can?
The only tin-foil hat way to look at this is that by falsly promoting a victory for the forces of Democracy an Humanity, FOX will promote an unwarranted calm and apathy in the turnout of voters who support Democracy - leaving the field to dupes of the Crypto-Facists.
Ther is no other purpose for Constitutional govenment of the United States, other than the promotion of the "General Welfare" of it's populace. The phrase, "general welfare," occurs twice in the Constitution. It occurs first in the Preamble, which announces that one of the purposes of the Constitution is to "promote the general Welfare." Since this is a statement of purpose, not a grant of power, it need not detain us beyond noting that it is there. The other use of the phrase, however, is much more significant. it is contained in the first sentence of Article 1, Section 8, which lists the powers of Congress. Equally important, it is used in connection with the grant of the power of taxation, which, then as now, was reckoned to be an essential power of government. The relevant clause reads, "The Congress shall have Power to lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States. . .."
If you are worried about specific intents, the Constitution was written with the specific intent of preserving a right to chattel slavery.
In 1918 Ben-Gurion described the future "Jewish state's" frontiers in details as follows:
"to the north, the Litani river [in southern Lebanon], to the northeast, the Wadi 'Owja, twenty miles south of Damascus; the southern border will be mobile and pushed into Sinai at least up to Wadi al-'Arish; and to the east, the Syrian Desert, including the furthest edge of Transjordan" (Expulsion Of The Palestinians, p. 87)
"Before the founding of the state, on the eve of its creation, our main interests was self-defense. To a large extent, the creation of the state was an act of self-defense. . . . Many think that we're still at the same stage. But now the issue at hand is conquest, not self-defense. As for setting the borders--- it's an open-ended matter. In the Bible as well as in our history, there all kinds of definitions of the country's borders, so there's no real limit. No border is absolute. If it's a desert--- it could just as well be the other side. If it's sea, it could also be across the sea. The world has always been this way. Only the terms have changed. If they should find a way of reaching other stars, well then, perhaps the whole earth will no longer suffice." - David Ben-Gurion (born David Grun) in 1949 stated during one of the discussions with his aides. - "The First Israelis," By Tom Segev, p.6.
"The Jews might have had Uganda, Madagascar and other places for the establishment of a Jewish Fatherland, but they want absolutely nothing except Palestine: not because the Dead Sea water by evaporation can produce five trillion dollars worth of metaloids and powdered metal; not because the sub-soil of Palestine contains twenty times more petroleum than all the combined reserves of the two Americas, but because Palestine is the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa, because Palestine constitutes the veritable center of world political power, the strategic center for world control."
- Dr. Nahum Goldman, former President of the World Jewish Congress
"I devote my life to the rebirth of the Jewish State, with a Jewish majority, on both sides of the Jordan."
- In 1934, Ze'ev Jabotinsky introduced for his youth movement followers the Betar Oath. - "Israeli: A History," by Martin Gilbert, p. 76.
"The acceptance of partition does not commit us to renounce Transjordan. One does not demand from anybody to live up to his vision. We shall accept a state in the boundaries fixed today--but the boundaries of the Zionist aspirations are concern of the Jewish people and no external factor will be able to limit them." - quote by David Ben-Gurion, "The Birth of Israel: Myths and Realities", by Simha Falpan, p. 52-53.[8]
"This is a story of the corruption of medical research," warned Gary Ruskin, who runs a Portland, Ore., nonprofit organization called Commercial Alert. "It's a technology that should be used to ease human suffering, not make political propaganda more effective."
Start considering the 10 or so years of "sanctions", with the millions of casualties, birth-defects, etc.
The U.S. has inflicted DOZENS of 9/11-scale deaths on innocents in Iraq alone. A country, mind you, that had nothing to do with terror attacks against the U.S.
The principal crime of Iraq, from the U.S. perspective was to try and control their oil-wealth, and use that resulting power to reduce the likleyhood of Israeli hegemony in the region.

Republican: What actions can government take that directly benefit me, and otherwise justify the expense of others?
Libertarian: What actions can government take that aren't at my expense?
