"It's just total hatred for Bush"

Followed by riots the day after the election.

This should be made a major talking point by BC04. "John Kerry has his priorities." Apparently "running an informed campaign" isn't among them.

Wow! That is really special! Just another reason to NOT vote for Kerry....he doesn't have time for the war on terror.

Joking aside, Drudge has the ability to influence this campaign ... I just hope he comes down on our side.

Just what I want in a president. A man who doesn't fall down, who can't make his Senate votes, and who doesn't have time to learn about terrorism.

But he has good hair and that's all that matters!

Hey...speaking of idiots. I got an email this morning from someone I barely know...anybody else gotten this great work of literature???




Subject: "A Conservative's Surprising Point of View"

Your friends might also be interested in the following just
written by Charley Reese of the Orlando Sentinel. If you know the
writer and his strongly conservative reputation, you should fin d
it eye opening. Note particularly what he says about John Kerry.
The conservative journalists Robert Novak and William Kristol happen to be
saying some of the same things.

_________________________________________________________________

Vote For A Man, Not A Puppet

Americans should realize that if they vote for President Bush's
reelection, they are really voting for the architects ! of war - Dick
Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz and the rest of that cabal
of neoconservative ideologues and their corporate backers.

I have sadly come to the conclusion that President Bush is merely
a frontman, an empty suit, who is manipulated by the people in his
administration. Bush has the most dangerously simplistic view of the
world of any president in my memory.

It's no wonder the president avoids press conferences like the
plague. Take away his cue cards and he can barely talk. Americans
should be embarrassed that an Arab king (Abdullah of Jordan) spoke
more fluently and articulately in English than our own president
at their joint press conference recently.

John Kerry is at least an educated man, well-read, who knows how
to think and who knows that the world is a great deal more complex
than Bush's comic-book world of American heroes and foreign
evildoers. It's unfortunate that in our po! orly educated country,
Kerry's very intelligence and refusal to ad opt simplistic slogans
might doom his presidential election efforts.

But Thomas Jefferson said it well, as he did so often, when he
observed that people who expect to be ignorant and free expect what
never was and never will be.

People who think of themselves as conservatives will really
display their stupidity, as I did in the last election, by voting for
Bush.

Bush is as far from being a conservative as you can get. Well, he
fooled me once, but he won't fool me twice.

It is not at all conservative to balloon government spending, to
vastly increase the power of government, to show contempt for the
Constitution and the rule of law, or to tell people that foreign
outsourcing of American jobs is good for them, that giant fiscal
and trade deficits don't matter, and that people should not know
what their government is doing.

Bush is the most prone-to-classify, the most secretive president
in ! the 20th century. His administration leans dangerously toward
the authoritarian.

It's no wonder that the Justice Department has convicted a few
Arab-Americans of supporting terrorism. What would you do if you found
yourself arrested and a federal prosecutor whispers in your
ear that either you can plea-bargain this or the president will
designate you an enemy combatant and you'll be held incommunicado for the
duration?

This election really is important, not only for domestic reasons,
but because Bush's foreign policy has been a dangerous disaster. He's
almost restarted the Cold War with Russia and the nuclear arms race.

America is not only hated in the Middle East, but it has few
friends anywhere in the world thanks to the arrogance and ineptness of the
Bush administration.

Don't forget, a scientific poll of Europeans found us, Israel, North
Korea and Iran as the greatest threats to world peace.
I will swallow a lot of petty policy differences with Kerry to ge t a man in
the White House with brains enough not to blow up the world
and us with it. Go to Kerry's Web site (http://www.johnkerry.com/
http://www.johnkerry.com/ ) and read some of the magazine
profiles on him. You'll find that there is a great deal more to Kerry
than the GOP attack dogs would have you believe.

Besides, it would be fun to have a president who plays hockey,
windsurfs, ride motorcycles, plays the guitar, writes poetry and speaks
French. It would be good to have a man in the White House who has killed
people face to face. Killing people has a sobering effect on a man and
dispels all illusions about war.

Kerry was not attending the briefings because it's BUSH'S fault.

If he didn't have to run for president, he could have attended.

I'm suprised that no-one has figured this out yet.

How dare that you even question this billionare by marrage about why he didn't go to the meetings.

This goes on my list of favorite quotes of the year:
"We will take from you to provide for the common good"
and
"I just haven't had time"

Yepper - the Kerry statement, followed by, "I'm George Bush and I approve this message.", would make me grin till my face hurt...

His comment will never make the alphabet channel news

Yeah, but he said it on King's show and lots of libs and moderates watch King.

Funny thing is King was just asking an innocent enough question, nothing hardball, and Kerry incriminates himself with his answer.

Larry asked him when he would be briefed and his first response was within a week. He then changed it to within a couple days.

I bet he realized how harmful his answer "within a week" was. BUT the fact he said "I just haven't had time" is really the outrageous answer!!

Do you think anyone (other than FOX) will report his? NOTT!!!

It's just total hatred for Bush. They don't care who they put in office as long as he beats Bush. The democreeps have let their blind hatred pick Dumb and Dumber as candidates instead of trying to pick someone better.

You nailed that one. Their hatred of Bush is psychotic. Is it just because he won the election, or is it because he embodies what is good about America?
