We’re going to need a thread II as this one is starting to slow the site down. Also, on the new thread, please stop posting the name and pictures of the person you think the woman may be. The evidence doesn’t support the claim and we don’t need to be doing that. Wait for it to come out. It will. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1076893/posts

CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS -Drudge Alert (Thread II)

CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS


Update 1:

CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS: KERRY FIGHTS OFF MEDIA PROBE OF RECENT ALLEGED INFIDELITY, RIVALS PREDICT RUIN


Update 2:

CAMPAIGN DRAMA ROCKS DEMOCRATS: KERRY FIGHTS OFF MEDIA PROBE OF RECENT ALLEGED INFIDELITY, RIVALS PREDICT RUIN

**World Exclusive**
**Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**

A frantic behind-the-scenes drama is unfolding around Sen. John Kerry and his quest to lockup the Democratic nomination for president, the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal.

Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.

MORE

A close friend of the woman first approached a reporter late last year claiming fantastic stories -- stories that now threaten to turn the race for the presidency on its head!

In an off-the-record conversation with a dozen reporters earlier this week, General Wesley Clark plainly stated: "Kerry will implode over an intern issue." [Three reporters in attendance confirm Clark made the startling comments.]

The Kerry commotion is why Howard Dean has turned increasingly aggressive against Kerry in recent days, and is the key reason why Dean reversed his decision not to drop out of the race after Wisconsin, top campaign sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.


Update 3

FROM CONRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CRAIG CRAWFORD: 'Drudge item on Kerry intern issue is something Chris Lehane (clark press secy) has shopped around for a long time -- it was one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice -- their conclusion that it wasn't bad enough to disqualify him, except for the fact that they couldn't risk it as they were trying so hard to distance themselves from Clinton's personal failings (note: Lehane worked for Gore at the time -- and briefly advised Kerry during this campaign). The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it'...

I just listened to the ABC top of the hour news, normally I don't abuse myself with their bs.

There was nothing about this story on their non news. The talking voice seemed to be very depressed.

Kerry's wife has said several times that she would be willing to spend her $500,000,000 in the election if her "family is attacked."

It's more likely Teresa will spend $5,000,000 on divorce lawyers.

The only way people lose "faith in the American culture" is when they remain silent. And .. if you're being "conditioned" that is YOUR problem. You get to choose what you watch and listen to.

A BIG line in the sand has been drawn .. it's called 9-11. As of that date, everything changed. It's only the dems/libs who haven't realized it.

You're right. A line in the sand has been drawn, but I refuse to BURY my head in said sand. We have Islam being taught in our public schools, homosexual activists initiating gay-straight alliances, the Holy Bible being defamed and beaten at every opportunity. We have women doing sex-dances on live television, homosexuals prancing about on every broadcast channel, gangster thugs speaking of hate and violence towards women and minorities on television, all hiding behind the free speech and freedom of thought principles.

Society is crumbling, and it is not an issue of simply "turning off" what I listen to or watch. I can ignore the problem all you like. It won't make it go away. It is a matter of having principles and standards. You do not teach 1st graders about sex. You do not invite some religions to speak at schools while telling others that having them would be a violation of the separation of church and state laws. But then, these very things I mention are happening all around the country and outside of this website there is very little outrage.

When are we going to mobilize? When is the American public going to take back our country? When will a person's character and honesty count? I have been waiting and waiting for stories similar to this to have some impact, to prove that things like a leader's character really do count to the American people. Kennedy was a cheater and he is somehow one of the most beloved Presidents in history. Clinton is a liar, and a cheat. He cheats on his family, lies to the American people, and yet is STILL defended and lauded as the greatest President ever, by democrats to this day!

The conditioning I was referring to is the result of all of these things. I have been conditioned to believe that, to most Americans, these things DO NOT MATTER. They do matter to me, however. I see it as a decay of our society, our culture, our way of life.

Unless we do something, unless people really wake up and realize that things like character, trust, and honor really matter over special interests and selfishness, our society is doomed to fail.

Because of everything I mentioned above, this Kerry scandal will not matter. We have become a nation too ignorant to tell the difference between right and wrong when considering what is in our best interests. It is one thing to find a nice little pocket on the web to discuss these things, yet quite a different matter to go out and affect societal change.

Simply turning the channel and denying you saw any of it is doing as much to harm society as those who push it on a population too ignorant to believe otherwise.

Can you visualize what perky katie's expression is right about now as she sprays her latte all over her PC screen...

Particularly after she spent the morning interviewing Edwards and trashing his electoral prospects and his lack of military service.

She might have to have him back on tomorrow to revive his candidacy!

"Clinton isn't stupid. He probably hates Drudge but he would also realize his usefulness (from experience LOL). It would be sweet to beat your rivals with the thing that stained your own campaign."

FWIW...I am one of those tinfoil hat-wearers who believe Clinton used Drudge to break the Lewinsky story to divert attention from Clinton's more serious crimes (ChinaGate and others), thereby deriding the GOP's ongoing Impeachment efforts as "all about sex." So this would not be outta character or without precedence.

Edwards, who said he has not been pressured to bow out, even received some encouragement from a crucial Democratic stalwart -- former President Clinton. In an interview with USA Today, Clinton said there are reasons for Edwards to stay in the race.

"A lot of times things happen late in the race" that sometimes make a difference and sometimes don't, Clinton said, adding, "Look at the elections of the last 30 years. And ask yourself, is this election the same or different?"

After Edwards won South Carolina last week -- his lone victory in 14 contests -- he said Clinton suggested in a phone call that he should stay in the race. "He said 'You're doing great. Your speech is great,'" Edwards said.

...but,that doesn't count for military service...

Doesn't that explain her sitting on the Armed Services Committee and her trip to Iraq? She needs to be seen as a 'moderate' ... also explains her not jumping on the AWOL charges against President Bush or the silence on WMD'S.

No, it doesn't mean Kerry has a "weapon of mass destruction". It means it was just a "leak".

Give me a break. We went through this with Clinton how many times? Fact is, everytime a marital infidelity is revealed, the high the approval ratings. If Clinton had any more affairs, he'd be crowned king by now.

We are going to have to beat Kerry another way.

And now this astute political analysis from an internet source that will go unnamed:

And Kucinich is still on the campaign trail....

And looks better every day.

That's got to be the funniest and at the same time most pathetic comment I've read in a long time.
