He is a candidate who will say and do anything if he perceives there to be an opportunity for political gain.

Dear Senator John Kerry: America is a place of hope and opportunity for many reasons. Chief among them we are a people of great faith and that is what keeps us strong.  But while Americans have always been a religious people, our faith is tied to reason. We choose goodness and truth not only because faith tells us to, but also because doing otherwise would be inherently wrong. Disagreements will always exist in the civic arena. How high the minimum wage? How to best provide educational opportunity for all?  The appropriate level of taxation?  These are decisions that we work out in...

ARLINGTON, VA – Former Senator Bob Dole issued the following statement: “Here we go again. In 2000 Democrats tried to disenfranchise military voters in Florida. They tried to do it again in 2004 using the same cast of characters. “In other key states, like Ohio and Pennsylvania, we are seeing a similar strategy, with Kerry operatives trying to block the extension necessary to ensure military votes are counted. Rather than filing as soon as possible, Democrats waited until the litigation would hold up state and local election officials. “With less than 20 days until the presidential election, it is likely...

"John Kerry's efforts to spread false internet rumors on the draft undermine his own credibility. He has demonstrated for the second day in a row that he is a candidate willing to do or say anything to score political points.

Some of them were bills that he cosponsored or worked with and by putting his name on it.  In legislative parlance, being a cosponsor does not necessarily mean that one is a principal in the writing of the legislation but one who has joined on it." (Fox News' "Special Debate Coverage," 10/13/04) Since Joining The U.S. Senate In 1985, Kerry Has Been The Lead Sponsor On 316 Bills, Only 5 (1.6 Percent) Of Which Became Law.  (Thomas...
