Divided against himself (Kerry vs. Kerry)

OC Register ^ | 9/12/04 | Op/Ed

One reason Sen. John Kerry isn't gaining traction in his presidential bid is that he keeps contradicting himself. Speaking in Cincinnati on Wednesday, he attacked President Bush's Iraq policy. He's running a TV ad voicing the same theme.

"George W. Bush's wrong choices have led America in the wrong direction on Iraq and left America without the resources we need here at home," he said in Cincy. "I call this course a catastrophic choice that has cost us $200 billion because we went it alone, and we've paid an even more unbearable price in young American lives ... $200 billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford after-school programs for our children; $200 billion in Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford health care for our veterans; $200 billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford to keep the 100,000 police officers we put on the street."

But Sen. Kerry voted to give President Bush authority to invade Iraq, supported the invasion and still supports the war! Wars cost money - billions and billions of dollars. If one supports the war, one also supports spending money on the war.

The senator believes that, had he been president, he could have gotten other countries to help out. But it's unlikely anyone could have convinced Germany and France to join the quagmire. Even if Sen. Kerry could do so if elected, each county is unlikely to send more thanthe 9,000 troops our ally Great Britain already has committed to Iraq, meaning only 18,000 French/German troops would arrive.

Kerry also told either Time or Newsweek that he doesn't see a Bush bounce and he will prevail! LOL!!!

If John Kerry is elected, he will replace the nukular football with the nukular flip flop. ;-)

The US intelligence community is in the grip of an internal debate on whether new data on North Korea (news - web sites) should be interpreted as a sign the country is preparing for its first nuclear weapons test, US administration officials said. A nuclear test by North Korea ahead of a US presidential election could deal a severe blow to President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s strategy of diplomatic containment of the Stalinist state. He has been under fire from Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites), pictured, an advocate of direct negotiations with Pyongyang.(AFP/file/Hector Mata)

'Le'go my eggooo' !

[DakotaGator]

Ahhh...the press. Can't distinguish between symptoms and disease.

One of Kerry's symptoms is self-contradiction. His diseases include; phony, fake, fraud, and traitor.

The OC Register should use Kerry's flip-flops to explain what Kerry really is...scum!

[NRA2BFree]

I love that walking waffle. LOL!

""I call this course a catastrophic choice that has cost us $200 billion because we went it alone, and we've paid an even more unbearable price in young American lives ... $200 billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford after-school programs for our children; $200 billion in Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford health care for our veterans; $200 billion for Iraq, but they tell us we can't afford to keep the 100,000 police officers we put on the street."

"But Sen. Kerry voted to give President Bush authority to invade Iraq, supported the invasion and still supports the war! Wars cost money - billions and billions of dollars. If one supports the war, one also supports spending money on the war."

And, in the Russert interview last year, he complained that enough was not being spent and that he would spend more--as much as it takes!

Thanks for the reminder.

I had to click thru MTP this morning, Woodward and C'MUH Hersh were on, in attack mode as usual with Timmy providing the treats for them to pounce on..

MTP.. Meet the Perpetrators (of leftist lies and distortion)

Lawrence B. Spivak must be real proud of how that show has sunk into the cauldron of propagandization for the left's sake. ;-)

What the h#ll's going on with his left eye in this picture?

[hripka]

Is Kerry even qualified to be a warden at Abu Ghraib?

[aimhigh]

The Repubs need to stress that Kerry created his political carrier by smearing his fellow soldiers. He hasn't changed in 30 years. Now it appears he's forging documents to continue the smears.

Sometimes, when people are about to string together a bunch of lies, and if they possess at least a rudimentary conscience, they experience certain physical reactions such as a nervous twitch in one of the eyes, sweaty palms and forehead, etc. No? Yes?

History may remember DNC 2004 as : The Flip-Flop Flap. The sound of a rubber check bouncing. Spending the working person's money BEFORE the working person has earned it, thus putting the working person deeper and deeper into debt against his/her will. The sound of a Democratic Party that has turned weird in this election season - girlie men staring lovingly at each other, outraged DEMONRATS spewing their hatred...only to suddenly abandon those tactics when the public reaction proves to be too negative...Kerry, reporting for double doody...

Yes. A leopard never changes its spots and a skunk always stinks!

Did anyone catch Russert asks about the 200 hundred billon dollar's talking point that Kerry is spinning now. Every speech he is bringing it up. How better the money could be spent at home instead of Iraq.
Then Russert played a video on Kerry in Aug. on Russert's show, saying he would have spent more. Or what ever it takes.
Flip Flop… Flip Flop… Flip Flop

Had a beautiful morning at church.

Someone had a "Redefeat Bush bumper sticker on their Saab in the parking lot."

They were newcomers and obviously didn't know me very well.

The owner fo the Saab saw me looking at the sticker and proudly said, "Pretty much sums it all up don't you think?"

My reply: Well, you know, lately I've been wondering if I really want the country run like Kerry's campaign. Then I realize, Kerry has never run anything in his life but a campaign."

The temperature dropped about 10 degress as I turned and walked away.

[NormsRevenge]

Amen and Good reply. :-)

a chilled wind blew thru that parking lot, eh? lol

What can you do, the right to make an idiot of one's self in public is protected ..

btw, here in san jose, I don't see many Kerry stickers, I saw 2 yesterday, both construction related unions.

I don't see many kerry/edwards at all. come to think of it. I need to get out more, I guess. LOL

The MSM is very deeply commited to he who should be committed. The Globe is falsifying the position of their doc analyst to Kerry's benefit, we know what Dan's doing. We must keep spreadding the truth, contacting dnCBS affilliates, and dnCBS advertisers. We can't drop the ball cause the MSM will if we give them a chance. FNC is already letting Juan say today that all the Swifties charges have been disproven. The Swifties won on Cambodia, the 1xst PH and Kerry left VN under fraudulent circumstances. These 3 are real and this forgery is real and we can't let the MSM rewrite history or pick our next president.
