The Unlucky Senator Kerry October 11, 2004 Alan Caruba by, www.anxietycenter.com
Once you get passed the question of personality and character, it is fairly easy to see why Senator John F. Kerry will lose the forthcoming election. It’s what you don’t see that is the best predictor.
What you don’t see are armies of anti-war protesters in the streets of American cities.
Americans, whether they call themselves liberal or conservative, appear to be united when it comes down to the question of waging war against the Islamic Jihad. They may disagree on where or how, but they agree they do not want to see another 9-11 here at home. And there has been none since President George W. Bush launched the war in Afghanistan and expanded it to include Iraq.
Kerry is running out of luck. On October 4, CNSnews.com reported an exclusive story revealing that Iraqi intelligence documents, confiscated by US forces, “show numerous efforts by Saddam Hussein’s regime to work with some of the world’s most notorious terror organizations, including al Qaeda, to target Americans. The demonstrate that Saddam’s government possessed mustard gas and anthrax, both considered weapons of mass destruction, in the summer of 2000, during the period in which United Nations weapons inspectors were not present in Iraq. And the papers show that Iraq trained dozens of terrorists inside its borders.”
If you are so naïve to believe that Saddam did not deliberately encourage the belief that Iraq had WMD’s, then I have a bridge to sell you. On the other hand, if you think that’s the real reason the US invaded, you are still naïve.
Putting aside the issue of WMD’s, the Washington Times has reported that, according to Department of Defense estimates, Iraq had anywhere between 650,000 to a million tons of weapons cached around that nation. Most were sold to Saddam Hussein by China, Russia, and France. These three nations sit on the United Nations’ Security Council! They were selling Iraq weapons all through the long years of endless UN resolutions demanding he disarm!
During the first debate, Sen. Kerry identified nuclear proliferation as the greatest threat to world peace and there was no mention of chemical or biological weapons, either of which could kill just as many people, possibly more. He specifically said that, if he were President, he would stop the building of nuclear bunker-buster bombs; the kind that would be needed to penetrate the facilities in North Korea or in Iran where nuclear bombs are being built.
I didn’t hear a single “expert” comment on that amidst the endless blather that followed the first debate, but it is singularly important when compared against the Senator’s voting record during his twenty years in Congress. Nor has anyone been impolite enough to point out that Kerry’s offer to send nuclear fissionable materials to Iran in return for a promise to only make electricity, not bombs, was rebuffed by the mullahcrats who run that nation. Even they thought it was “irrational”!
Sen. Kerry would have voters believe that he would, despite his view that this is “The wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time”, vigorously pursue victory over al Qaeda and the Iraqi insurgency. This is so ludicrous on the face of it that one wonders why he doesn’t just go home to Massachusetts and sit out the rest of the campaign.
In fact, can you imagine an America without the numerous defense systems that Sen. Kerry voted against? Neither can I.
Voters instinctively know this. That’s why Sen. Kerry will lose on November 2nd unless the battalions of lawyers the Democrat Party is amassing can produce a coup d’etat and, unlike their efforts in 2000, steal the election.

It's time for sKerry to have FATE step in for payback time.
He has planted and spread a lot of chaos and misery during his life and it's his turn to reap the fruits of what he has sown.
Kerry is not unlucky. He is treasonous, a liar, a Marxist, a phoney, an opportunist, anti-military, anti-American, anti-national security, an elitist, pro-socialist with big government control, pro-confiscatory taxtion, an internationalist, a panderer, an appeaser, and more.
THAT is why he will lose this election.
A yellow belley, scum sucking, bottom feeding Traitor.That should end all the need for posting to this thread. . . .
A Viet Nam vet
Uh...how do you REALLY feel? /extreme sarcasm
By the way, I couldn't agree more.
