Opportunism Knocks [WaPo's Broder Zaps Kerry]
Washington Post ^ | April 25, 2004 | David S. Broder

[snip] ... If you watched Kerry on "Meet the Press," you saw many examples of dodginess on his part. At the very start, moderator Tim Russert asked for a "yes or no answer" to the question, "Do you believe the war in Iraq was a mistake?" Kerry's response was: "I think the way the president went to war was a mistake." By restating the question, he left the fundamental issue unanswered.

Over the course of the hour, Kerry struggled to explain why he had once -- decades ago -- advocated placing U.S. forces under the direction of the United Nations, why he had said in 2000 that the U.S. effort to isolate Cuba was a "frozen, stalemated, unproductive policy," why he had voted in 2002 for the resolution authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein and why he now criticizes that policy after promising he would not do so "once the shooting starts."

Sean Hannity says that the day after the 04 election is settled he plans to begin the campaign against a Hillary presidency. Regardless of anyone here's opinion of Hannity, he has the right idea, that we should not wait until she officially begins her candidacy in four years. We need more like him. Go Mr. Hannity!

Exactly!

I set this account up as a retired male born in 1928.

I usually use zip code 10048 when registering. That was the WTC zip code.

Cool site! I was just starting to make a list of my own (Ms Pasta Lasagne, born in 1920, runs a Fortune 500 company).

Just a warning, however....They will still put a cookie on your system, for those of you paranoid about these things.

yeah, but...

If the Democratic Leadership really wanted Hillary to be President, don't you think Kerry would pick her as VP & then once in office Kerry would have to step aside for one reason or another?

Hillary could never be elected POTUS
