I am unclear as to what he means to say. Is he saying that this is a bait and switch operation, or is he saying that the Rats know they cannot win and are looking to make a scapegoat out of Kerry?

[jocon307]

Wow, from the tone of this piece Kerry will be lucky to get out alive!

I did like this description of him as "educated beyond his intelligence", that is so true of many people, and such a deleterious thing when it happens. It is certainly true of Kerry, and no doubt contributes to his indecisiveness and double-think on almost all issues. For example, he seems to want to be elected our head-of-state in order to turn over control of this country to the leaders of other nations (who probably don't want the task) and the UN (who almost certainly do).

Do you think W could run ads stating: "Unlike myself, Sen. Kerry has been educated beyond his intelligence"?

[YourtaxCutMan]

That the 'rats hate themselves mroe than they hate Bush? Or, deep in their hearts they know that Bush is right so they don't want to win but are too scard to admit it?

[Batrachian]

What he's saying is that the Clintons are running the show and they are going to torpedo Kerry's campaign. Why this should be so isn't stated, but it's pretty obvious that Hillary Clinton doesn't want to wait 8 or 12 years, or even longer, to be president. So either she runs in '08 or Kerry comes apart and she runs this year. I think she runs in '08. That's the most rational course of action for her and the one most likely to succeed.

However, Kerry must lose this year for that to happen.

"Two plus two no longer equals four, it equals whatever the Democrats tell the media to parrot back to the public."
Perfectly said.

[Cboldt]

Kerry is an arrogant Massachusetts elitist, educated beyond his intelligence, with a more liberal voting record than Ted Kennedy. He is a pathologically indecisive, opportunistic, United Nations bureaucrat-loving, Jane Fonda war veteran surrender monkey who sells his Renoir paintings for campaign cash.

*bump* to that!

You can just picture the door to John F'n's luxurious
bathroom being splinted open and that hideous face sticking
through, " Heeeeeeres Hillery!!!".

[Kenny Bunk]

The fact that no Democrat insider backed Gore is proof positive that they KNOW Gore lost the election. Even with illegal aliens and Democrat felons voting, Milwaukee derelicts bribed with cigarettes by New York limousine liberals, Philadelphia inner city precincts producing an unbelievable 100 percent turnout, a St. Louis Democrat judge keeping inner city districts open and voting until midnight, and the dead voting in almost every Democrat district--they still lost.

Jeez, in three lines Joan says what it has taken me a thousand posts to evidently not get across. How'd she do that?

And wadda great way to shut down this argument: "Hey guys, if Gore really won, how come you ain't runnin' him again? Oughta be a shoo-in, right?"

[KJacob]

Does this mean if Bush wins it is because the Clintons made it happen? I do not buy it. Sometimes I think we give them way too much credit. Bush can beat Kerry without the help of the Clintons. I would hate to see it spun this way the day after the election.

[catpuppy]

I think the author correctly sees the Clintons lurking in the background, awaiting the perfect moment to sabotage Kerry (assuming that he does not spare them the effort by self-destructing). Clark's comments got ahead of the plan.

[rightazrain]

You asked:

"I am unclear as to what he means to say. Is he saying that this is a bait and switch operation . . ."

I think the answer is in this statement:

"Is he the real candidate or is he just another stalking horse until the Democratic convention?"

Perhaps Kerry will be dumped and Hillary will be nominated instead?

This is my greatest fear.

[Thom Pain]

"I’m afraid the leading Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry, is unknowingly and unwittingly trapped in a classic real-life horror story."

There, that's better.

[COBOL2Java]

Bush can win regardless of whether the Clintonistas deep-six Kerry's campaign, but it's nevertheless interesting to see how truly self-centered Bill & Hillary are, that they would try it.

[Batrachian]

Bush came within a hair of losing in 2000. He can lose this year. I don't mind Democrats damaging each other and helping to elect Bush. That means that evil has been used to do good. I'll take it. Besides, a lot of more prominent political thinkers that myself have put forward this same theory. It makes a lot of sense.

[NonValueAdded]

She is strongly implying the former; bait and switch. Or in this election year, bait and b*tch.

Ripping! And it's the truth, too!

With all due respect;
1) "He" is a SHE - "Joan Marie Nagy"
2) Joan Marie Nagy is ... humorist
3) Not a scapegoat, more like a sacrificial lamb.

BIG *BUMP* !!

[KJacob]

Don't get me wrong I will take whatever help we can get. I know Rush has been saying this for a while. I am not saying the Clintons will not try to stop Kerry I just sometimes think we give them too much credit.
