It doesn't get any more basic in the Republican line this year than this... here is Lileks' column lead for today...
Let's just be blunt: The North Koreans would love to see John Kerry win the election. The mullahs of Iran would love it. The Syrian Baathists would sigh with relief. Every enemy of America would take great satisfaction if the electorate rejects the Bush doctrine and scuttles back to hide under the U.N. Security Council's table. It's a hard question, but the right one: Which candidate does our enemy want to lose? George W. Bush.
The rest of the article doesn't give one iota of evidence or reasoning why this would be the case. It's beyond propaganda. It's declaring, in essence, that a vote for Kerry (or anybody other than Bush) is enabling the enemy, which is darn close to treason.
So, remember, don't vote for Bush, and you're committing treason.
