Hey. They say Bush missed a few days of work 3 decades ago. The horror, the horror!

(Release your military records, Kerry. Why, there's nothing to fear...or....is there? Release them Kerry! )

[alloysteel]

All the attacks being made on Kerry are being made by - other Democrats. Namely Al Gore, Chris Lehane, the sock puppet Weasely Clark, back behind there somewhere, the stealthy hand of the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001" and most of all, his venomous viper of a spouse.

Guess this kinds of wipes out the likelihood that Clark will be endorsing Kerry anytime soon. Oh, Clark might OFFER the endorsement, but will Kerry accept it, in light of the revelations that Clark made a few days ago, "Off the record"?

By the way, is Michael Sneed still employed at Chicago Sun-Times? Her column got pulled really fast earlier today.

The sad part is the the mass sheeple will go with whatever the alphabet channels tell them.

Not really. Subconsciously, they hear the democrats using negatives, Bush using positives. The miserable will be drawn to Kerry. The happy to Bush. They're not paying attention analytically, but their subconscious is still listening.
The Democrats are over doing it. It's to the point where it's getting what people refer to as "childish."
Actually, the more "childish" and "nit picky" they get, the more adult and noble Bush looks. I think that's why Rove is backing off. He seems to be letting them "play". Bush is even feeding them. "Here, take my dental records. Oh, and check my driving records, too? What else would you like? Here's my uniform and shoe size. How about a little diet information? Do you think there's a little trash in there you might be able to use? Here ya go."
Rove is a very smart guy.

Anyone recall seeing a NYTimes headline read: Demorats attack Bush in video and e-mail ?

[concerned about politics]

Just checked out DUmmies. They found out Bush volunteered to go to Nam, but was rejected because of his flight experience. He was too new.
Well golly, that's not good enough. Volunteering for Nam was fine for Kerry, but not Bush. I guess you're only qualified to be president if you're a 'Democrat' volunteer. Idiots.

(We've got to get Kerrys military records. They'll freak! All of a sudden, military experience won't matter anymore, and Kerry will be a hero for protesting with Hanoi Jane. I'll bet $1 that's exactly what they'll do!)

You can catch more bees with Republican honey than you can with Democrat vinegar.

[freeperfromnj]

I like your positive attitude. I used to see the glass half full too. Hopefully the shift in the polls is only temporary.

Hopefully the shift in the polls is only temporary.

They are. Wasn't it Dukakas who was on top of the world at this time during his attempt for the presidency?
Lately, it's been Democrat lying heads on TV 24/7 because of the caucuses. They're getting all the air time for campaigning.
Once that gets done, the real complaining starts. That's when there will be equal time.
Don't worry. The law of reciprocity is at work. Bush has been honest, and overly kind to the scavengers. He will be rewarded for his co-operaton. The Democrats are looking like blood hounds, and they're acting like children. The nit- picking is suffering over kill. The viewers are starting to OD on useless, irrelevant garbage. It was 3 decades ago. (No one cares but the press. They need to fill the air time.)
It's like the 24/7 Jackson story, only much more boring. People are getting sick of it. The more they force it into Americas face, the more teed off people will get for being forced to hear it.
Most voters know Clinton was a draft dodger, and the Democrats are making fools out of themselves.

Excellent graphic!

accusing Mr. Kerry of changing his stands on major issues.

Well he's changed his stance on whether or not he committed warcrimes during the Vietnam war.

Kerry speaks about HIS War Crimes

Audiotape, April 18, 1971):

KERRY: There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down.

[snip] MR. RUSSERT: Thirty years later, you stand by that?

SEN. KERRY: I don't stand by the genocide. I think those were the words of an angry young man. We did not try to do that. But I do stand by the description-I don't even believe there is a purpose served in the word "war criminal." I really don't.

[weegee]

The type of military experience is key. Violating the Geneva Convention could cost John Fonda Kerry some votes.

Republicans attacked Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts on an array of fronts Thursday, (e-mails and web site)

We have watched Kerry and the media attack George Bush on every TV news station, internet, debates, newspapers, magazines, international media for over 6 months.

This is disgusting and meant to further ignite sympathy for Kerry.
