TAMPA, FL – Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf today issued the following statement:

"The Democratic National Committee is making fraudulent phone calls claiming that I have endorsed Senator Kerry. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I demand that they stop immediately.

"Senator Kerry opposed the Reagan defense build-up that won the Cold War. Senator Kerry opposed the removal of Saddam Hussein from Kuwait. Senator Kerry proposed billions in intelligence cuts after the first attack on the World Trade Center. Senator Kerry voted against funds to equip our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan with supplies like body armor and ammunition.

"I am supporting President Bush for reelection, because he is the candidate who has demonstrated the conviction needed to defeat terrorism. In contrast to the President's steadfast determination to defeat our enemies, Senator Kerry has a record of weakness that gives me no confidence in his ability to fight and win the War on Terror. His attempt to make up for these deficiencies by falsifying my endorsement only confirms my impression that he is not the man we need to lead our nation."

You beat me to it!!!!

[abnegation]

Has the good General made an endorcement before now? Would be interesting to know if Lurch and the bunch made a big boo boo here. LOL

[wagglebee]

This is beyond despicable, even for the 'Rats!
The problem is that this won't get a bit of coverage until after the election.

[dalebert]

Who will get this into the MSM.

[cgk]

Go Stormin' Norman. Glad to hear from him.

[Max Combined]

Good stuff. He should have been saying it sooner.

[Doctor Freeze]

Stormin' Norman putting the haunted tree in his place.

[joesnuffy]

Just when you thought the DNC could not possibly get any lower....

They reset the bar ....lower than primordial frog shiite....

[AZamericonnie]

Advice to Kerry....I'd do what what he says!

[wagglebee]

Schwarzkopf introduced Bush in Florida YESTERDAY!
In my book that's an endorsement!

[pierrem15]

Main Stream Media? Hello? (crickets) Hello?

[maryz]

I hadn't even heard they were doing it -- but this is great; lots of people I know (who follow the news but not compulsively) just keep Drudge open on their computers at work all day to check in from time to time.

[ml1954]

How about a lawsuit. The DIMS should know enough not to p*s off Stormin' Norman.

[ShandaLear]

Now THAT's an ass kicking!

[CatOwner]

"Who will get this into the MSM."

No one! The RNC won't do it, Rove won't do it, Bush won't do it. This story will be buried.

[Moose Dung]

Old Stormin' Norman will get MSM attention!! This is a guy you just can't ignore and he's out on the campaign trail stumping for Bush.

OooooooooAhhhhhhhhhh!!!

dung.

[abnegation]

LOL Well I guess Lurch's people are not up on what W's campaign is doing.

[ArmyBratCutie]

you know I was asking around here the other day if anyone had heard from Stormin' Normin' and who he was supporting, NOT that I had any doubts but its good to see it in print!! thanks for the post

[Tribune7]

The Dems have no shame.

[conservativepoet]

Hannity just indicated that the Dems are nervous about NJ and that's why they've initiated this fake call. The Clintons are supposedly all over NJ because they're that nervous.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks!

Is there anything that Komrade's Kerry Kamp of rats would not lie about?

[skeeter]

Will I live long enough to see newsworthy stories about democratic dirty tricks & corruption like this one reported by someone other than Drudge or Newsmax?

[RockinRight]

I think Norman's a registered Dem, so this is awesome news!

[wvobiwan]

Please stop calling them the MSM (Main Stream Media). They are only mainstream because you (and others) keep calling them that. I call them the Corrupt Liberal Media (CLM) or simply the Old Media.

[omniscient]

Get ready for the DNC response: "It's a dirty Republican trick, masterminded by Rove to make us look bad."

[onyx]

I hope he's getting a lot of exposure on TV.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

The democratic bar has been lowered so much that the width between it and the ground has to be measured in Planck lengths.

[embedded_rebel]

Stormin' Norman! Stormin' Norman! Stormin' Norman!......

[Shermy]

Need to add a Kerry pic too...

Link

[Grampa Dave]

Please ping this great Kerry put down by a real American Military Hero.

[satchmodog9]

NO ONE

[mnehring]

Folks in Jersey aren't gonna take being lied to by the dems lightly. The backlash against the dems considering them stupid enough to buy this trick will be ugly.

[kcvl]

How can ANYONE want that LYING SCUM to be President?!!!

[Blood of Tyrants]

That's nothing. The 'Rats in Pennsylvania are calling heavily Republican areas and lying to the old people and telling them that their voter registration is messed up and to not even to bother showing up because they won't be allowed to vote.

[MattGarrett]

[Cableguy]

Unbelievable. You know the Bushies will hit back hard for this.

[Peach]

In our district they are also calling telling our voters (they have a list) that the voting location has been changed. Thankfully our voters seem to be smart enough to call Republican headquarters in town and have been told their voting location DID NOT change.

[Dems_R_Losers]

I absolutely DARE the media not to report this!!! Lying about Social Security and the draft is one thing, but blatantly lying about an endorsement that will matter for people that may still be undecided and unsure about Kerry on Iraq is just outrageous.

Dems are also calling old people in Lancaster County, PA and telling them not to go to the polls because their registrations have been lost and they won't be able to vote. ACT is bringing in volunteers to stand in line at polls in GOP precincts so people will leave.

[theDentist]

I wonder if the DNC has already hired telemarketers to call and ask if voters had pressed the wrong key, and then provide the phone number for the Elections office like they did in 2000 in a push poll? I bet that they have, and will do it again!

[Blood of Tyrants]

They can go lower. Read my post 35 above.

[rampage8]

I see that this was on Drudge, but who is hearing the message? Is it a recorded message in NJ or some other swing state?

[SkyPilot]

Preach it Stormin Norman!

[Apercu]

Hannity needs to have the good General on his show tonight, instead of just mentioning it, to disavow this lie - and have DNC chair McAwful on at the same time (although he won't do it).

[Kaslin]

Yeah this definitely proves the General Schwarzkopf endorsed Lurch, doesn't it?

[conservativepoet]

Agree

[JFC]

Yes, my hubby saw him a couple weeks ago at a Leadership Conference and The GENERAL said.. our Military wants to keep President Bush and so does he.

[LowOiL]

BTTT...

[Bungarian]

The great part about this is the phone messages saying Norman supports Kerry are being sent in New Jersey!!

Panic by the Kerry people???

[kingattax]

HANNITY talking about this on his radio show NOW
