Went slumming and found this article. Seems the DUmmies are reduced to posting innane articles from peon sites to validate their cognative dissonance that all is well and Kerry is winning.

Thought it good for a laugh!

Kerry supports gun rights for WHO?

Kerry said he would be a president who "believes in science,"

As opposed to a president who doesn't believe in science? Wow, he's got my vote. I'll wager the science he most believes in is the kind where politically motivated theories (like Global Warming) are proven by large numbers of petition signing scientists. Now if we only had a President who actually invented something--like the Internet!

while at the same time noting his support for hunter gun owner rights

Any man that doesn't know and understand the second amendment doesn't deserve a place in government,
much less as it's head.

I vote NO to johnK!

[damncat]

Bunk!

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

Puuul-eeeeeeezzzzzz. This guy will say ANYTHING knowing full well it's a lie, or it is exactly the opposite of what he will do. I wonder if he stays awake at night thinking up his next set of lies or if they just come to him naturally.

Clean coal? Most of what is available for mining is in Indonesia, isn't it?

Of course, we have a lot here in the US, too. But we can't use it, because Clinton made it part of the Grand Escalante Staircase Monument in Utah.

Naturally, taking all that coal off the market means that the price goes up for the coal in Indonesia.

By the way -- who owns that Indonesian coal? Lippo Group, wasn't it?

Weren't they big funders for Clinton's political campaigns?

Funny coincidence, if you ask me.

If there were 15,000 people there, I'm a liberal. There were 13,000 for Bush in Cambridge that day, and there's no effin' way Kerry draws more than him!

The FACTS - John Kerry's record on coal (exerpted from Robert Novak - http://www.townhall.com/columnists/robertnovak/rn20040426.shtml)

Do NOT allow John Kerry to run away from his record!

---

This disadvantage of an incumbent senator running for president may explain why only two have been successful. While governors (Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush) have obscured their positions on delicate questions, Kerry cannot escape the impact of thousands of votes during 20 senate years.

One such vote came in 1999. Byrd, grand protector of West Virginia, proposed an amendment to preserve coal production. It was designed to override liberal U.S. District Judge Charles Haden's decision, since reversed, to end mountaintop mining in West Virginia.

Byrd told the Senate that his amendment was intended "to allow for the continuation of our coal industry and the jobs it provides while better protecting the mountains and hollows of the state we love." With the United Mine Workers strongly behind Byrd's amendment, it passed the Senate Nov. 18, 1999, by 56 to 33. Kerry was one of the 33.

Kerry also co-sponsors environmentalist Sen. James Jeffords's Clean Power Act, which the coal industry regards as a death sentence in eliminating 90 percent of mercury emissions by 2008. The non-partisan Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates the Jeffords bill would reduce coal consumed for electricity by 43 percent, losing 1 million jobs.

Last year, Kerry voted for (while Byrd was voting against) the Lieberman-McCain Climate Stewardship Act, which would move the U.S. toward the Kyoto global warming protocol. The EIA estimated the bill would reduce coal's share of electricity from 50 percent down to 11 percent, eliminating 50,000 coal industry jobs.

[television is just wrong]

Not the commonfolk of the U.S. You've got to be kidding yourself.

[Larry Lucido]

Does he EVER take his finger off the trigger?

[Lib-Lickers 2]

I love how the Gallop poll is nowhere to be found,, LMAO

[plain talk]

"You've got coal to be dug right here," Kerry, a a four-term U.S. senator, decorated Vietnam War veteran and former prosecutor, said adding, "We've got to make sure we do it clean,"

Sounds like an oxymoron - clean coal.

Bush should have a news conference in Alaska amidst a cheering crowd and say - "we've got oil right here but Kerry and the liberals won't let us drill for it. As a result, this forces us to buy more Mideast oil and makes us less secure at home. Look out here - now what person with any common sense would have a problem drilling for oil out here. Now are you Alaskans OK with us drilling out here? (audience roars) OK! Well lets get it done by winning in November!"

The liberals then think they have an issue to beat Republicans with - but then Bush ignores them and starts pushing for a flat tax. Liberals have a hissy fit and think they can talk about Bush favoring the rich but then Bush issues an executive order making some more recess judicial appointments and then starts talking about tort reform. Bush needs to get on the offense and stay there. ATTACK, ATTACK and then attack some more ...

He has no clue. He's like those Chicago guys siting in their guns before Wisconsin deer season.

Kerry: "And with my help, Elmer Fudd will finally get that wascally wabbit!"

[VeniVidiVici]

"For us, coal is an enormous part of our energy strategy for America," ...that coal would play a big part in a Kerry-Edwards plan to make America energy independent and create new jobs in the coal industry.

I heard they also have a bridge and an island for sale somewhere in New York.

There is NO WAY they plan on fulfulling this promise.

I could tell you stories about 'city folk' trying to use guns once a year.
