Guys, you should have gone with John Edwards.

Yep. They're gonna be whipping themselves for that one for a long time to come.. =)

[Travis McGee]

Will Kerry be the nominee after the convention, or will he step down for "medical reasons?"

If he steps down, who is going to step in? Will Hellary want it in 2004?

[Choose Ye This Day]

John Kerry is deeply troubled.

[Southack]

"Kerry has been the presumptive Democratic nominee for two months now. Ask yourself: Aside from fund-raising success, has he had a good day? Has he come up with a winning soundbite? Has he made a policy proposal you've heard people talking about?"

BWAAA HA Ha!

A Democrat with a positive, new policy proposal?!

That sort of sighting should get as big of a bounty paid as if you had just identified Al Zaqarawi.

[Mo1]

Not so for Kerry. To put it mildly.
Yes, he has time, plenty of time, six months' worth of time. Kerry will surely get better, but that's only because he can't get much worse.

ROFL .. Ya wanna bet

[Capitalism2003]

We need to make this a HARD collapse...Kerry is wobbling...ready to go down...I think NOW is the perfect time for every grassroots conservative group to nail Kerry with everything we have...blast the media with emails demanding they cover Kerry's flip-flops...send in lots of anti-Kerry opinions to your local papers, etc. If every Freeper spent 20 minutes doing these things, and maybe sent $5.00 each to a few worthy organizations like Americans for Tax Reform or The Club For Growth, we could sponsor some nice new anti-Kerry ads and absolutely erase his chances for victory this year. All it takes is a small amount of time and a very small amount of money from a large group of people like the Freepers! Oh, and don't forget about getting a filibuster proof majority in the Senate...This is CRUCIAL if we are to get a real conservative agenda passed in a 2nd Bush term. Donate to the National Republican Senatorial Committee. They do an AWESOME job spreading cash in the battleground states where we have the best chances of picking up democrat senate seats. They have done a great job in the past few elections, and we now have a chance to strike the deathblow to liberalism...really.

JOHN KERRY'S QUIET COLLAPSE

I just had a terrible thought!!! What if this continues to the Democratic Convention and then, knowing he's a loser, they nominate Hillary!

[Prince Charles]

I wonder if there are any Secret Service logs in the National Archives or at the Nixon library from that day that would clear this up.

[claudiustg]

Bush is leading the war on terror and Kerry is arguing about throwing ribbons and medals at the White House. Priceless.

[Prince Charles]

[C210N]

John Kerry DID NOT, let me repeat, DID NOT throw away any medals over any fence in 1971, his or anyones elses.

What he did throw, however, were his 'mettles'. He threw his Mettles over the fence.

Main Entry: met'tle

Pronunciation: 'met-'l

Function: noun

1 : SPIRIT : COURAGE

2 : quality of temperament

[Roy Tucker]

I hadn't realized Kerry served in Viet Nam.

[DustyMoment]

Guys, you should have gone with John Edwards.

I never thought that I would be saying this but, IMO, they should have gone with Joe the LIARman. Of the entire field of Dem candidates, Lieberman ends up being the most rational and centrist. Dems are going to be kicking their own butts for following each other like lemmings into the Kerry rathole.

[Izzy Dunne]

ABC News dug up a TV interview Kerry gave

HERE is the big nugget, folks - ABC news operating the shovel instead of the water bucket!
Why is THAT happening, all of a sudden?
Is it blood-in-the-water journalism?
Or could it be something else?
Like, oh, I don't know.... Satan? Hillary?

[metesky]

Howie Carr kept replaying the Charlie Gibson interview yesterday along with several other Kerry gaffes. It was absolutely hilarious!

Funniest part was when a Kool-Aid drinker called in and said that the Bush/Republican slime machine was forcing Kerry to lie!

Ya can't make this stuff up.

[Benrand]

This is a controversy that the Republicans are pushing, and this comes from a president and a Republican Party that can't even answer whether or not he showed up for duty in the National Guard. I'm not going to stand for it.

I'm not being defensive! You're the one who's being defensive! Why is always the other person who's being defensive? Have you ever asked yourself that? Why don't you ask yourself that?

[dawn53]

Isn't this the lesson you try to teach your children when they are young?

The answer to a question is either "yes", "no" or "no excuse." (Podhoretz is even giving him the option of just staying silent, which is not a choice you give children).

But the main lesson is don't lie, and don't try to cover up your actions with lies, because you will be found out.

Guess Kerry's still acting like a child when it comes to owning up to his past actions. Excuses, excuses, excuses; blame, blame, blame.

The part that amazes me is that he told Gibson that he didn't see what he says he did see, LOL!

[laredo44]

I threw my ribbons across . . . After the ceremony was over, I had a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart given to me, one Purple Heart by a veteran in the V.A. in New York and the bronze star by an older veteran of World War II in Massachusetts. I threw them over because they asked me to."

I have two questions. First, I heard Kerry saying that the reason he threw his ribbons over and not his medals is that he simply didn't have his medals at the time. He hadn't had time to go home and get them. Why would he have one, his ribbons, but not the other, his medals? It doesn't make sense to me, not that it has to.

Also, suppose, for the sake of argument, you were a WWII veteran who had come to oppose the war in Vietnam. Suppose you wanted to make a statement by giving your medal back. You travel from Massachusetts to Washington D.C. where others are making similar statements. Would you throw your own medal over, or give it to someone else to throw for you?

[tkathy]

Kerry: a 9/10 candidate of the past in a 9/11 world.

[TomGuy]

Trying to change the topic to Bush's service simply smacks of cornered desperation.

Anyone with two brain cells (and 1 of those asleep) can see Kerry's modus operandi (MO).

Kerry: "I have a plan, but George Bush is bad...."
Kerry: "I will take this country in a different direction, but George Bush is bad...."
Kerry: "We need a change in Washington, but George Bush is bad..."

Kerry makes mention of 'plan', a 'change', a 'different direction.' The trouble is, that is as far a Kerry goes. He gives no details, no specifics, no hint as to how or why his plan-change-direction would be any better. Instead, he moves to criticizing and blaming George Bush and Company for whatever the topic.

Even with the medals fiasco yesterday, Kerry tried to switch the topic from him and his actions to blaming Bush, Cheney, Karen Hughes. So, the medals fiasco is Karen's fault. Huh?

Kerry did more than shoot himself in the foot. Kerry may have mortally wounded himself in the GMA interview. Kerry's rudeness toward the interviewer did himself no service. Now, Kerry has made an enemy of the ABC News department. How many ways can you spell s-t-u-p-i-d, John?

[I have also noticed recently that those the Kerry team send out to do the news programs and ramble off the Kerrytalkingpoints seem to be as rude and disrespectful as Kerry does in interviews. They interrupt the hosts and even tell the hosts to shut up and let them talk. They don't answer the questions, but redirect their spews to their memorized talking points. If the host counters and tries to get an answer, they become in-sensed, rude, disrespectful. The Kerry team seems to be making very few friends in high places and attacking persons in high positions. Kerry is dead meat as far as his campaign goes. The DNC will either use him as the throwaway and concede the 2004 election or can Kerry by the Convention.]
