"I voted for the war, before I voted against it," John Kerry admitted. Fast forward to the Larry King show and Kerry admitted that he was not yet briefed on national security issues. Kerry stated that he was too busy for a national security briefing. "Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time," Kerry explained.
Then, last week, there was some talk in Washington about the possibility of postponing the presidential election in case of a significant terrorist attack on the United States. Suddenly, Kerry found the time to make himself available for that national security briefing.
Yep. Watch what he does, folks, not what he says. In this case, apparently "Senator" Kerry doesn't care much about the security of the people of the United States; he only cares about the security of the nation when security actions might/could affect his quest for higher office.
We hate to be overly inconvenient here, but isn't Kerry still supposed to be a senator? How does it happen that this egotistical rich boy, with a wife who has nearly a billion-dollar bottom line, still draws a paycheck from a job for which he never performs? Interesting, that.
Kerry had time to hobnob with nasty-mouthed celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg at a New York fundraiser but not to take an interest in the security of the American people.
After that fundraiser, Senator Zell Miller (D-Ga.) said he was saddened, but not surprised, that Kerry didn't challenge the rabid anti-Bush commentary spouted there. ". . . John Kerry held a fund-raiser in New York that featured performers in a time of war calling the president of the United States a killer, a cheap thug and a liar. John Kerry just sat there, grinning like a mule eating briars," Miller said.
We might remind Senator Miller that John Kerry has a long history of agreeing with such language. After a truncated tour of military service, Kerry entered the political scene with disgraceful antics, which included labeling active and prior Vietnam troops with all sorts of obnoxious, uncalled-for and untrue statements. Based on his Senate record alone, it is obvious that Kerry has never been a friend of our armed forces. So, it is no surprise that Kerry also agrees with disparaging remarks when made concerning our nation's Commander-in-Chief. "Situation Normal . . .," those of us with military service used to call it.
And dig that hot public display of metrosexual behavior between the two Johns on the campaign trail! Press photographers were having one hell of a good time snapping pictures of what looked like sensual foreplay between the Johns. They seem to be trying to redefine the term "running-mate."
Most interesting, though, is that Edwards was definitely not Kerry's first (or second) choice for running mate. For some reason, the DNC (read Clinton cabal) forced Edwards on Kerry. We may speculate about that, but there is yet no real evidence as to exactly why that happened.
So, here's what we have in a nutshell: two far-left senators, millionaire lawyers both, who have never run anything more extensive than their mouths, wanting to be chief executive of the United States. Worse yet, there are a few hundred-thousand yellow-dog Democrats out there who will vote for them. That's an "ungood," as one of my little neighbor girls likes to say.
The White House is not a very good place to start one's executive training. Nor is the White House the proper place for a man who has a long history of disparaging our American fighting forces -- especially while they are involved in combat. Nor is the President of the Senate a position that should be open to a lawyer whose whole career was spent perverting the court system by suing nearly anyone he could find with deep pockets.
The American people need better. The vast majority of the American people know that, too. And, the American people will have better. Because, as our current President's father likes to say, the American people shall "stay the course."
No matter what anyone may think of the politics of George W. Bush, we know that the man means what he says.
No flip-flops with Dubya. Also, those terrorists who would do us harm now know, unequivocally, that as long as George W. Bush is President, any attack on the United States will surely be punished with the full force of the United States military.
The White House is not a very good place to start one's executive training.
No flip-flops with Dubya.

Parody?
The Democrats plan has now been exposed. The plan is to split moderates and conservative against one another on fundamental issues. Be aware of Lurks posting on moderate and conservative web-sites trying to accomplish this! These Lurks are dangerous. They will use polls and liberal news stories to try to accomplish this. Reverse Psychology is the game. All Parties have some fundamental differences but it's the exploitation to exagerate these differences which is the problem.
"Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time," Kerry explained.
He was too busy riding his $9000 bike and playing teenage snowboarder.
See below, for instance.

Latest column, "John Kerry & John Edwards: You've GOT to be Kidding"
John Kerry is annoying. He's too full of himself. He's a henpecked husband who married for money -- what kind of man does that and then expects to hold a leadership role in the US, much less serve as commander in chief during wartime -- and lacks real gravitas.
But mostly John Kerry is uninspiring and dull.
It used to be said, it was in America's best interest to let Reagan be Reagan.
Likewise, it is in America's best interest to let Kerry be Kerry.....if he is himself he will definitely LOSE!
Congressman Billybob, have you read Kerry's book on terrorism? What do you think of my review of it?

As in: "Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty."
I chatted with this kid for a few minutes. I won't go into detail what the conversation topics were but I can tell you that at least some young people are paying attention.
I trust that your review does justice to Kerry's output.

Kerry is both a paradox and a parody!
Paradox: "Possessing seemingly contradictory qualities or phases"
Parody: "A feeble or ridiculous imitation"
Yup... a parady!
mame sure everybody is going to www.kerry-04.com and sign the petition to remove kerry from office all together
And .. Kerry just CAVED to Hillary. That should tell people everything they want to know about him.
Petition just asks Kerry to resign. Fat chance of that happening. One and only one group has the power to remove him, the Senate itself. On the basis of his sworn testimony he is either guilty of war crimes, of perjury to Congress, or perhaps he can flip flop a plea of both. Regardless he is unfit to serve and shouldn't have been ever seated after his first election. Instead have a petition demanding the Senate do its belated constitutional duty and remove him. Send the petition to the President of the Senate. HE knows the 2/3 votes for removal aren't there, but I suspect HE can still get some good out of such a petition.
Forest, You might be interested in the above post. Edwards attended as was mentioned in the paragraph just prior to the list. It's been awhile. Peace and love, George.
"I believe life begins at conception./What we really need is to begin slaughtering embryos in labs for stem cells for medical research."
Kerry is the embodiment of cognitive dissonance. It actually hurts to listen to his absurd nonsense and logical twister games. Truly a bizarre specimen. Even by Yale standards. And modern American liberal standards. Kerry's from Planet Bizarro.
Of course, maybe he's just an esoteric Straussian playing games on purpose. Being obtuse deliberately. Weird. Too bad Ed Wood is dead. He would HAVE to be the director to do a film version of John Kerry's act.
