Was it his campaign's slow response to the swift boat advertisements or the remark that he voted for Iraq war money before he voted against it that John Kerry regrets most from his failed bid for the White House? Neither, according to Kerry's reflection Sunday on what he considered his biggest mistake when trying to wrest the presidency from George W. Bush in 2004. "I think the biggest mistake was probably not going outside the federal financing so we could have controlled our own message," the Massachusetts senator said on NBC's "Meet the Press." The Kerry campaign opted to accept...

So far, the count stands at 96.A group of veterinarians, members of marine mammal rescue groups and volunteers are caring for the wayward rough-tooth dolphins that stranded themselves just off Marathon Key Wednesday afternoon.

WASHINGTON -- Democratic Sen.

A pod of dolphins were being praised for providing a protective barrier around a group of swimmers who were being threatened by a great white shark off the northeastern coast of New Zealand. Rob Howes and three other lifeguards were on a training swim about 100 metres off shore at Ocean Beach near here when the dolphins raced in and herded the group together. "They started to herd us up, they pushed all four of us together by doing tight circles around us," Howe said Tuesday. When he tried to drift away from the group, two of the bigger dolphins...

Consider this "Notebook" item from TNR's March 25, 1991 issue, which ran under the headline "Same Senator, Same Constituent": "Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition ... to the early use of military force by the US against Iraq. I share your concerns. On January 11, I voted in favor of a resolution that would have insisted that economic sanctions be given more time to work and against a resolution giving the president the immediate authority to go to war." --letter from Senator John Kerry to Wallace Carter of Newton Centre, Massachusetts, dated January 22 [1991] "Thank you...

HAHAHAHAH ROFL!!!!! WATCH THE VIDEOS!!!! HEHEHEH This pic is the best!!!

There’s a reason why North Carolina newspapers have started calling John Edwards "Senator Gone." The real John Edwards, the one the media isn’t talking about, has missed 43 percent of Senate votes since suspending his presidential campaign, but claims he represents the powerless. And when the elected officials of the city of Charlotte needed federal money for light rail two years ago, they bypassed Edwards and relied on Congresswoman Sue Myrick, as did desperate North Carolina tobacco farmers seeking a buyout, who went to Senator Liddy Dole instead. Edwards also failed to show up at the town hall meetings he...

On Sunday, the Lowell Sun of Lowell, Massachusetts endorsed President Bush in an eloquent editorial: "George W. Bush for President." The Sun played a key role in opposing Senator Kerry in the 1972 congressional race that preceded Kerry's decision to attend law school; the editorial evidences the paper's familiarity with Kerry.

 

John Kerry finally explains his "I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it." The problem is, he explains it as his way of betraying the troops by politicizing their body armor, and he lies to do that! The Easter Island talking head said that it was a protest vote - something I'm sure our boys overseas will appreciate, he'd deny them body armor to make his political point. He also said it was an inarticulate moment made late in the evening after a long day of campaigning. Uh, one problem Lurch. You made the statment at NOON!!!!

Go to Flippercam and click first on the icon in the upper right to turn off the Flipper music. Then click on the debate prep video, which is about six minutes long. I did have to minimize the screen to turn off the music, which came on again a few times while the video was playing. Maybe a FReeper who is more tech-savvy than me can explain how to turn it off permanently while the video is playing--or tell the RNC how to fix this annoyance. Enjoy the video--it's a hoot.

A sportman's magazine's report that John Kerry owns a Chinese assault rifle is not true, the senator's presidential campaign contends. As WorldNetDaily reported, Kerry, who has pushed for bans on so-called assault weapons, was quoted in the October issue of Outdoor Life responding to a Q&A presented to both leading presidential candidates. "My favorite gun is the M-16 that saved my life and that of my crew in Vietnam. I don't own one of those now, but one of my reminders of my service is a Communist Chinese assault rifle." But campaign spokesman Michael Meehan told the New York Times...
