is he can't be trusted with what he says, he'll say ANYTHING during the election cycle to get elected. The only true basis to judge future behavior is his own record. His record shows he HATES the military, therefore, would be an extremely poor Commander-in-Chief. His record shows he LOVES raising taxes across the board, therefore, he would raise taxes not only on the rich, but on the rest of us too. His record shows he is the most liberal of all Senators in the US Senate, therefore, would turn our country into a neo-communist state, he would be the...

Be Prepared for angry Kerry thugs and thug-ettes after Kerry's defeat.

Did the Russians help Saddam pre-war to cover the tracks of their conventional, WMD arms trade? (Washington, D.C.): Intrigue surrounding the disappearance of 377 tons of explosives from the al-Qaqaa facility in Iraq seems to be deepening, while preliminary reports that the material was lost due to American negligence appear to be among the least likely of explanations. As initially suggested to the public by the New York Times, large quantities of powerful HMX and RDX - plastic high-explosives that can be used for civilian purposes but are particularly well suited to military ones (including triggering nuclear weapons) and terrorist...

On a local Milwaukee news station WISN - Kerry was asked to respond to the new Bin-Laden tape and bits of it were played for him and he actually had the gall to say something to the effect of: "Well, if Bush hadn't let him get away in Tora Bora..." Can you believe this? After he praised the mission at the time! After Tommy Franks was very clear that no one was sure he was there. After he knows we had Special Forces in there! He uses this awful veriled threat to score political points! I've heard Holbrooke and Begala...

Your a voter, any voter, representing any party. What are the chances you are not familiar with bin Laden? I made the effort/wasted my time checking the two most widely recognized liberal media publications and found numerous stories this week alone concerning bin Laden. Many discuss his endorsement of Kerry. From the first light of the first campaign day Kerry has whined about the fact that bin Laden continues to run free. In his opinion, Saddam was dessert and bin Laden was the main course. He has maintained that Bush's "outsourcing" of the capture of our number one terrorist was...

John Kerry and John Edwards will: Engage 200,000 Americans A Year In "Service For College" John Kerry and John Edwards will offer a simple deal to hundreds of thousands of America's young people: if you will serve for two years in one of America's toughest and most important jobs, we will cover four years of tuition at a typical public university. Engage 300,000 College Students A Year In Helping Our Children Learn John Kerry and John Edwards will call on America's college students to join a national crusade to help America's children succeed in school and get to college.

New York – The jury was out for a while, but Teresa Heinz Kerry has been declared a resounding liability by women. In a scathing attack, the feminist writer Naomi Wolf claims the exotic ketchup heiress is having an emasculating effect on John Kerry, her second husband. "Listen to what the Republicans are hitting Kerry with: Indecisive. Effete. French. They are all but calling this tall, accomplished war hero gay," she writes in New York magazine. Wolf, who advised Al Gore on capturing the women's vote in 2000, blames Heinz Kerry for making the charge stick. "Let's start with Heinz....

(Excerpt:) "Kerry is an odd mix. There's Kerry the Eliot Ness crusader who takes on tough cases to serve justice. There's Kerry the dispassionate policy advocate who can appear more intrigued with issues than with making contact. His politics bounce between the two. He assails the flow of private money into campaigns; he sides with portions of the corporate political agenda. He hews to the liberal line on universal healthcare and increasing wages, but he has displayed more interest in the subject of international crime--hardly an unimportant topic, but one that does not stir many souls. Does that indicate he's...

<p>As he arrives Sunday at a secluded resort near here for four days of debate preparation, Sen. John Kerry would be advised to ignore a motto inscribed on a historical marker on the edge of town.</p> <p>"Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility," reads a quotation from architect and one-time resident Frank Lloyd Wright. "I chose the former and have seen no reason to change."</p>

OK, here we go again. Drudge references an article on Sunday, September 26 with the heading "Bush Team Wants to See Kerry Sweat." Here is the article Drudge references: http://www.time.com/time/election2004/article/0,18471,702075,00.html My thinking is that Kerry really has nothing to lose. If he is defeated, he remains a gigolo - plugged into a $2Billion fortune. Therefore, he will SAY ANYTHING to win the debate...he has walk away power and nothing to lose. Bush on the other hand has a great deal to lose. He has led the war on terror and implemented a Middle East policy based on a realistic view...

"As president, I will finish the job in Iraq and refocus our energies on the real war on terror." I think most of us understand what his real plan is versus his flip flopping rhetoric. American's understand why he has taken so many positions on the Iraq and GWOT issue, because at some point in the future whether elected or not he can point back and say SEE, I said that would happen or we should've done this or that. From what I've gathered here is Kerry's real 4 point plan... 1. Cut and run from Iraq [bring troops hom...

Questioning Kerry's patriotism Judson Cox April 26, 2004 John Kerry has accused Republicans of questioning his patriotism. Why not question Kerry's patriotism? Should not a candidate for the Presidency of the United States be patriotic? Should he not love and be loyal to the land he hopes to lead? I say yes, and I will question Kerry's patriotism. Sen. Kerry has a record of engaging in activity that falls just short of treason; he has aided and abetted enemies of the United States. Kerry has falsely maligned U.S. soldiers as war criminals: "They told stories that at times they had...

Politics of Self-Deception Posted September 24, 2004 By Patrick Garry John Kerry is not simply a flip-flopper. It may be worse than that. It may be argued that Kerry and his party are in the throes of self-deception. Either that or they are deliberate hypocrites. It's not that John Kerry doesnt know where he stands. He knows exactly; his ideology has been consistent for the past thirty-five years. Kerry's problem is that he can't reveal his true beliefs. Its a problem shared by the entire Democratic party. Democrats are well practiced at concealing themselves. They are good at pretending to...

Kerry Ad Labels Bush Politics 'Despicable' 46 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) — responding to a Republican group's ad that portrays the senator as soft on terrorism — accused President Bush (news - web sites) and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) of "despicable politics" in a new commercial that the Democrat's campaign rolled out Saturday. Kerry's ad claims that the Republican ticket is "using the appalling and divisive strategy of playing politics with the war on terror, a strategy that undermines the efforts to combat terrorists in America and puts...

The insurgents in Iraq have increased their activity to influence the US Presidential election. The terrorists in Iraq have spoken, and they prefer Kerry. His flip flopping on Iraq policy, his promise to cut and run by removing as many troops as possible in his first year in office has got them super motivated. Yes indeed, they are motivated, motivated to go KILL, kill American soldiers, kill Iraqis and kill foreignors trying to help rebuild that country. Yes siree, once again Kerry is getting serviceman killed in another US war by flapping his yap. It's a shame more Americans can't...

It's [k]eerie, Carter's failed Iran policy seems to be the template for the Kerry Iraq plan... "Remember Carter's human rights program, where he demanded the Shah of Iran step down and turn over power to the Ayatollah Khomeini? No matter that Khomeini was a madman. Carter had the U.S. Pentagon tell the Shah's top military commanders – about 150 of them – to acquiesce to the Ayatollah and not fight him. The Shah's military listened to Carter. All of them were murdered in one of the Ayatollah's first acts. By allowing the Shah to fall, Carter created one of the...

He calls Allawi (Iraqi Prime Minister) and President Bush liars. It seems Kerry accusses Bush of showing contempt to world leaders, yet the only leaders Kerry seems to support these days are those who show contempt to the US. Other than Saddam Hussiem, I've never heard Bush call any World leader a liar or alienate them as Kerry did to Allawi today...

Stars Kerry and Jane Fonda... However, it leaves out the fact that Kerry was a RESERVE NAVAL OFFICER at the time he met with the N. Vietnamese. http://www.swiftvets.com

Rather: "Prove I'm Not Queen of the Space Unicorns" NEW YORK -- For the fourth time in as many days, CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather interrupted his telecast tonight to reiterate his claim that he has been crowned Queen of the Space Unicorns. Glaring into the camera, Rather leveled a stern denunciation of his skeptics, terming them "hateful" and "jealous." "I have told you again and again the tales of my ascension, my travels and adventures amongst the Cloud People, my ongoing struggle with Lord Gnarl and the Carved Army of the Fateful Forest. You've heard the facts, and...

So much for "building alliances"! Kerry has now acted to undermine a critical relationship in the war on terror just to score some electoral points. A failure on John Howard's part to be re-elected would certainly give Kerry ammunition to attack George Bush on his standing overseas. However, with Howard running ahead of the pack in Australia, Kerry sent his little sister to attempt to influence the Australian election -- which, if reversed, would have Americans screaming bloody murder.

George W. Bush speaks for values. He speaks for family fidelity, personal responsibility, patriotism and spiritual devotion. John Kerry embodies values. He's faithful to his wife and loyal to his family. Would Kerry embrace Harry Truman's "The Buck Stops Here"? Yes, he accepts personal responsibility. Does Bush? Not entirely, remember Abu Graib and his resistence to set up a 9/11 Commission to find out the truth. His administration gave Congress a cost figure for Medicare prescription drugs which was 145 billion dollars lower than the real cost. He wanted the political credit for Medicare prescription drugs so badly that he...

The claim that the timing of the announcement of the criminal investigation about the theft and destruction of super secret documents by criminal Berger, employee of criminal Clinton, was suspicious was amusing.But, let's assume some really suspicious timing! What is the one or two hour window during the dem convention where an announcement could completely divert attention from the Johns?What are the top 5 things that might do exactly that? Sure, we could capture Osama at 3:00 PM on the day that Traitor John was due to accept at 7:00 PM but that might seem too obvious. ABCCBSNBCCNN wouldn't dare...

The Washington Post essentially recaps the AP story last night on Trousergate, Sandy Berger's theft of classified documents from a secure room last October, although they manage to leave out the trousers from their article. However, the story has shifted into a more muted tone in the hands of Susan Schmidt and Dan Eggen: The FBI is investigating Clinton administration national security adviser Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger's removal of classified documents from the National Archives, attorneys for Berger confirmed last night. Berger inadvertently took copies of several versions of an after-action memo on the millennium bombing plot from the Archives...

Several of the known abusers of Iraqi prisoners are from the state of West Virginia. This is a terrible stain on the honor (such as it is) of West Virginia.It is with a great deal of personal remorse and a heavy heart that I extend a sincere apology, an apology, I'm sure Senator Byrd echos, to all those Iraqis whose feelings or sensitivities were hurt by fellow West Virginians. While many of Byrd's fellow klansmen will certainly try to distance themselves from Bryd and his abusive West Virginians, I feel more is required.That is why, today, I call on Senator...

Help settle a bar bet! A colleague claims that Sen. Kerry has today, more palaces than Saddam Hussein had when he was dictator of Iraq.He went on to qualify his bet by saying that he included those palaces that Kerry would claim weren't his but, "belonged to the family," or "belonged to the wife or one of her interests" and that he also included all of Kerry's "secret" palaces such as those private apartments in Paris, Rio and Tokyo that his wife has but aren't widely known. He's not talking about oppulance and he concedes that Saddams were probably more...

The Spanish government has refused the help of the FBI to investigate the pre-election bombs that killed 200 Spaniards! Why? That seems strange.One alternative jumps out, however. They don't want the identity of the murderers to be found out. Why? Because, it is them!Hitler burned the Reichstag. Why wouldn't Spanish socialists/communists murder 200 Spaniards as a gamble that they'd be able to seize the Spanish government? The socialists were underdogs. It would have been a small risk to set off the bombs right before the election to jolt the electorate. Remember, during the Spanish Civil war the communists regularly murdered...
