f it was Bob Dole that was "appointed," you know very well that the liberals would then have you believe that it was democracy in action

I assume he means Al Gore...

Drudge has posted the Mainstream Media Network viewership ratings for monday night's Democrat Convention and they are in "free fall" state. I actually thought that Monday night would be the strongest night because of the Clinton presence. If that holds true, this convention in total will be a failure! I really doubt that after hearing Bill Clinton's speech last night anyone is going to sit throught the totally boring delivery of John Kerry. I have to hand it to Bill and Hillary. They gave terrific acting performances, pushing John Kerry, while all the time they knew they would make him look like the whimp he is. Hillary is going to run in 2008! The Clintons are going to take Kerry and Edwards down! Of Course, they are also getting some unwanted assistance from that nut case, Teresa Heinz Kerry. I plead with all Freepers to watch only Fox News, if you must watch this charade. I want to see MSNBC below the toilet bowl line! The American people have the number of the "911" causing Democrats!

Best lines award for this article:

Since America was the very first nation in the world to declare war on terrorism for the first time, there is bound to be mistakes made. Kerry's approach is: I may have gone to war, depending on what the polls said that day, but I wouldn't have done it the way George Bush did it.

This is very much the same scenario as the football quarterback who throws an interception in the Friday night game. He then goes to get a hair cut on Monday morning, and his barber says to him, "I wouldn't have thrown that pass." The quarterback replies, "Well if I had this long to think about it, I wouldn't have thrown it either."

That sums up Kerry nicely: when times are tough and time is tight, he "nuances" (how is that different from sheer panic?), and then comes out weeks, month, years later and says "I could have done it better." Like the author says, yeah sure, given how much time and new information you had to consider it. When the heat is on, you disobey orders, panic or both, and run your boat aground, putting your crew in mortal danger in search of a Silver star medal.

This is so analogous to what he would do with the country as Commander in Chief.

Carter made it known that Kerry went to war in Viet Nam

And Ted Kennedy sponsored him.

I liked this article. I kept looking for one point to emphasize but can't narrow it down. It is funny to see dems nod their heads in agreement about Kerry's vow to be tough on terrorism given Clinton's and Kerry's antiwar histories. We'll see if the people are truly dumb enough to elect a wimp in a time we need courage and a clear goal: protect Americans by keeping the war on terrorism away from the US while helping countries like Iraq free themselves from murdering dictators.

Great picture!. . .

. . .leading the way; so that others might follow. . .

Wondering where these people actually live; seems all they really need is 'room to roam' and a cave to call their own.

Can think of a couple of countries that could benefit by some tribal co-mingling; to the point of making them all peacefully irrelevant. . .

Fighting words from another friendly Canadian voice.......

A voice that needs a few lessons in basic grammar.

The attendees at the convention defy all logic. They cheer Clinton but deride President Bush.

They want us to sign onto the World Court, but would freak out if Clinton was indicted for cluster bombing Serbian towns.

They want more manufacturing jobs but cheer the thought of signing onto the Kyoto Global Warming Treaty.

Makes no sense at all and no sense in trying to figure them out.

He's their grifter, draft dodger, terrorist coddler, perjurer, and they love him!! He's their Bill!

I don't sit through the boring bull of ANY convention. They're completely stage-managed (yes, including the Republican one). Conventions used to have a purpose in that the candidate was actually chosen there. Not any more. What a waste of everybody's time, not to mention a whole pile of money.
