Great send-up of that item, which I'd have thought beyond parody
Do you write those for a living?

it seems you are making a word game out of it yourself here.No, that's not my style. No wording is spelled out in the Constitution. It is what it is.
I think they did a good enough job giving Bush enough authority to go to war the year before...
So what's the problem, then?
...yet using words that are clear, FDR made it a clear request, there is nothing wrong with that.
No, there isn't. But the argument that the resolution for this war is unconstitutional (as this "candidate" is saying) is patently false.

"Free Speech" Free speech in the media is only free to the publisher...or on the internet, free only to the site owner. Everyone has the right to free speech unabated when using their own resources but not when robbing others to hawk their wares. Should Coca-Cola be forced to pay for the ad space of it's competitors?

I am glad to hear we are not that far apart, beliefs-wise other than how Iraq was handled. Kerry is going to try to weasle out of his vote, based on the idea that what he voted for was less than a full declaration of war. Here is an exceprt of his rantings from another thread.........
As for the use of force, Kerry talks about exhausting all the alternatives first. That is what he says Bush failed to do in the weeks leading up to Iraq, at great cost. This is a source of particular anger because, Kerry says, he voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq to give Bush diplomatic leverage against Saddam Hussein, not a blank check.
He says his decision was based on a clear promise from Bush and Secretary of State Colin Powell that they would use force as a last resort and only with a broad coalition supporting it and that if they went to war, there would be a plan for what to do with Iraq once U.S. troops got to Baghdad. "This President broke every single promise that he made," Kerry charges, "and I'm going to hold him accountable for that."
The French looking candidate could not pull this stuff if he had voted for a straight-up declaration of war.
Just because we have had a lot of undeclared wars in the past does not mean that it was right. Governments often try to slip the bonds of Constitutional restraints. Citizens must constantly remind their office-holders that those restraints apply, or they will be trampled.

LOL - well, thank you all for the kudos. It took me rather longer than I expected to write my "excerpt", as the first draft was somewhat more salacious than what I ended up with - the working title started out as "Executive Insertion" - but in the end, semi-bad taste won out over very bad taste. Perhaps I should approach the Peroutka campaign with this - judging by how dry the candidate's responses are, he could use a little heat generated on his behalf ;)
