AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 1350) [Remember the Trade Center!!]

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

America will NEVER seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country!

Good morning!!

Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!

Senator John Effin Kerry demonstrated last night why he should never be granted admittance to the White House, even as a guest, let alone as President.

First and foremost--there has to be a "global test" to protect America. Get that! If this country had information in its possession that a reasonable person (and remember that's the test that was used and its threshold exceeded for Saddam) could interpret as being a threat, this Nation would forego even the defense of its citizens with John Kerry as President!

Think about this, let it sink in. Now let's make it personal for a moment. You would not be allowed, for example, to take a different way home even if you knew on your normal route there was an individual with a weapon ready to kill you! In John Kerry's world, you would take that route--AND YOU WOULD SURELY DIE! But that's all right--you did not do anything to protect yourself, so you died nobly.

John Kerry had the unmitigated temerity to say the President didn't do every thing he could to protect our soldiers in Iraq, even accusing Mr. Bush of withholding the body armor that would make our soldiers safer under enemy small arms fire. This despite the fact that SENATOR KERRY VOTED AGAINST THE $87 BILLION PACKAGE THAT WOULD HAVE PROVIDED SUCH MATERIEL.

Senator John Effin tried to duck the word "lie" with regard to President Bush, saying he would never reach down to that level and use that term in reference to the President. An interesting show of deference that is most unusual for the Senator. In a September 2003 campaign appearance, Mr. Kerry said: This Administration has lied to us. They have misled us. And they have broken their promises to us. In the Boston Globe, Sen. Kerry was quoted as saying: Bush has lied about his reason for going to war in Iraq... [Source: Patrick Healy, "Kerry Camp Leaves N.H. Expectations Behind in Polls, Senator Now Seeks Spot in Top Two," The Boston Glove, December 18, 2003. Emphasis in original.]

And then there was the quip about the NY Subway being shut down. KERRY: That's why they had to close down the subway in New York when the Republican Convention was there. (Making a point that Bush has been inadequate in protecting America.) FACT: THE NYC SUBWAY DID NOT CLOSE AT ALL DURING THE CONVENTION!

The Senator also is geography, religiously, and ethnically challenged. He made a reference to looking at KGB records in Treblinka Square. TREBLINKA WAS ONE OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS NAZI DEATH CAMPS!

Now some of the minor details--Sen. Kerry stated the Bush tax cut only went to the President and himself! Being fair and realizing that he was using the two of them as a metaphor for the rich, he's still wrong. The tax cut was across the board.

Kerry says we spent $200 billion on the war on Iraq. We've only spent $120 billion. Sen. Kerry only arrived at the higher number by including what has been appropriated by Congress to spend in the future if needs require!

Senator Kerry even seemed to know where Bin Laden was! He indicated he was in Tora Bora and US forces could have nailed him. Problem is, there was no evidence he was there [maybe the Senator would have known this had he bothered to make time to attend intel briefings!].

He still thinks he knows where The Evil One is, making reference several times to his being in Afghanistan--if he knows where Osama is, why doesn't he tell US military forces?

Senator Kerry talks as if bilateral negotiations would work in North Korea. Senator, they were tried. That's how they got the Bomb!

The Senator continued to vacilate on the issue of Iraq--during the 90 minutes he was saying it was the "wrong war," then the right war, then the wrong war, then the right war, then the wrong war, before finishing up with it being the right war (it's difficult counting the flips and flops). On Iraq at the beginning: And he rushed the war in Iraq without a plan to win the peace. Now, that is not the judgment that a president of the United States ought to make. On Iraq at the end: I'm not talking about leaving. I'm talking about winning.

But that statement is another lie. He wants out of Iraq in four years, and starting to pull away in six months. He said so earlier in the debate.

And that's just what can be crammed into an hour's typing this morning. There are certainly others!

Now the end was notable. President Bush respectfully solicit the listeners for their vote, just as he did in the 2000 election. Senator Kerry ended without even bothering to ask. Small point, but it shows a lack of humility on the behalf of the Senator that smakcs of arrogance.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

Any resemblance to that other Raquel? ;^)

[Raquel]

Hi, no problem, I can't remember what I ate last night. I responded to your diary of events during the RNC in New York. I recommended locals for entertainment and dining, but unfortunately I was too late, your trip was already completed. I've got to step out but I'll be back later.

Go W!!!

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Ok, the election's over, Kerry's won. After all, France says he won the debate. That's all that's needed, right?

French Institute for International Relations: Kerry Wins Debate

[Jemian]

You behave yourself young man.

[Jemian]

Is anyone else glancing off-and-on at Mt. St. Helen's?

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

A new Kerry lie from last night.

KERRY CLAIM: President Bush diverted forces from Gen. Tommy Franks' efforts in Afghanistan to fight in Iraq.

TRUTH: In his memoir, Gen. Franks says that is not the case.

[Neets]

I can't see it out my window

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Yes ma'am. After sleeping on it, and reading about what I heard, Dubya did alright last night, despite what the trolls and Brigadiers are saying. It wasn't his greatest moment, but the gaffes were all from Ketchup Boy, when he wasn't unleashing a whopper.

[Jemian]

Another lie: Kerry did NOT lose any men under his command while in VN.

[Jemian]

I've decided Bush won. Hubby pointed out that there is really very little on the major media about the debate and what there is says it was a draw. Translation: Bush won and they don't want to admit it.

Neets, you silly girl, I was talking about the web cam.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Different tagline...

[Neets]

OH! the WEBCAM!!!

Silly me ;-)

Still waiting to hear the pocket damage estimate on the car. I should know within the hour.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Another lie:

Maybe it would just be easier listing the true statements uttered by Sen. Kerry last night.

[Sounds of crickets chirping...]

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

The media not playing up the debate means it was a victory for the POTUS. If Cabana Boy had wiped him out, like initial reports said, they'd be playing it up for days.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Works for me. Personally, I think that "Global Test" was the biggest gaffe of the campaign. I just don't think it's sunk in yet.

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

I just don't think it's sunk in yet.

That's why we're here--to supply the torpedo.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

LOL! I said last night that he'd sunk his own campaign when he uttered those words.... ;^)

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Ok--Continuing to dissemble Kerry...

POTTERY BARN RULE: Allegedly--"if you break it, you buy it."

From the Washington Pravda--Bob Woodward's book, "Plan of Attack" indicated that Sec'y Powell said something akin to the Pottery Barn Rule to the President before Iraq: "If you break it, you own it."

That exchange never occurred. The Pottery Barn doesn't have such a rule.

[Research credit to the Washington Pravda.]

[Chairman_December_19th_Society]

Another one:

KERRY: Right now the president is spending hundreds of millions of dollars to research bunker-busting nuclear weapons. The United States is pursuing a new set of nuclear weapons. [Emphasis added.]

TRUTH: Actual budget = $35 million.
