And Kim Jong Il is saying the same thing about W!!!

He endorses Kerry!!

This is too good!

I looks suspicious because the words infringe on the metal border. IOW, the works are printed on the plastic protective cover...not on the button itself.

At first glance I think the visual message of that would be "Bush is thumbs up for 9/11. Perhaps a more somber picture?

FDR "exploits" the liberation of Paris.

Does anyone have the video or a sound file of W's statement at Ground Zero (paraphrased): "The people who knocked these buildings down will be hearing from all of us soon...."

My mother, God rest her soul, kept political scrapbooks. I decided to get one out from 1944 and found an interesting article. Dewey gave a speech in September of 1944 in Oklahoma City. It is quite long winded but a few highlights:

Roosevelt's nomination acceptance speech, July, 1944, "He said, "I shall not campaign, in the usual sense...in these days of tragic sorrow, I do not consider it fitting." Dewey responds, "Last Saturday night, the man who wants to be president for 16 years made his first speech of this campaign. Gone was his high sounding pledge. Forgotten were these days of tragic sorrow. It was a speech of mudslinging, ridicule and wise cracks. It plumbed the depths of demagogy by dragging into this campaign the names of Hitler and Goebbels; it descended to quoting from Mein Kampf and to reckless charges of fraud and falsehood."
Dewey responded, "The winning of this war and the achievement of a people's peace are too sacred to be cast off with privolous language. I beleive that Americans whose loved ones are dying on the battlefronts of the world, men and women who are praying daily for the return of their boyts want the issues which viatlly affect our future discussed with the utmost ernestness. This I shall continue to do with full consciousness of the solemn obligation placed upon me by by nomination.

In 1937, FDR said, How happy we are that the circumstances of the moment permit us to put our money into bridges and boulevards....rather than into huge standing armies and vast implements of war." Dewey responds, "But war came just two years later. It was in january of 1940 that I publicly called for a two-ocean navy in defense of America. It was that statement of mine that Roosevelt called, "just plain dumb."

Dewey says, " My opponent now announces his desire to be president for 16 years. Yet in his speech of Saturnday night he called it a malicious falsehood that he had even represented himself to be indispensable. Let us look at the CLOSELY SUPERVISED WORDS OF THE HANDPICKED CANDIDATE FOR VICE-PRESIDENT HE SAID OF MY OPPONENT, "THE VERY FUTURE OF THE PEACE AND PROSPERITY OF THE WORLD DEPENDS UPON HIS RE-ELECTION IN NOVEMBER." Dewey then says, I have not heard Mr. Truman repudiated by Mr. Roosevelt as yet. Here are the words of BOSS KELLY of the Chicago machine, the manager of that fake third term draft of 1940: "THE SALVATION OF THIS NATION RESTS IN ONE MAN."

Hope this is helpful and insightful, her scrapbook is absolutely spell-binding and I am glad to share anything one might need. Forgive my long post.

Instead of "I remember..." should read, "I DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT!" instead of playing the democrap line of recalling events but doing nothing about it year after year.

Too bad Karen Hughes didn't have the FDR Pearl Harbor button when she appeared on the Today Show. Hopefully replicas can be made and conservatives can appear on various talk shows wearing that FDR button. That should shut the libs up fast. Plus I love the irony of conservatives wearing a FDR button to prove what a bunch of hypocrites the Democrats are. REALLY!!! We need someone to make copies of this button.

BTW, does anybody know if an original of this button is currently selling on eBay? I actually know a flea market vendor who might have this ORIGINAL button. Methinks it will soon be INCREASING in value.

[VadeRetro]

... couldn't determine its origin.

Probably not the Republican Party or the Dewey campaign.
