How are they going to make Kerry go away? Like Al Gore, Kerry has been plotting and dreaming of becoming President since he was thisssssTall. He's so close now he can taste it. They would have to Arkancide the guy to rid of him — there is no way an arrogant sociopath like Kerry can be convinced of anything. In his mind, he is always right. And whatever he does is correct. He is a type that will not step down for the good of anyone... because he doesn't care about anyone except himself.

All his life, he has been able to bully and lie his way past anything... to the point that he is now a United States Senator. If he takes a dive in the polls, and the Dems send "the guys in the grey suits" to go have a talk with him, he is not going to listen to one word of it. His life experience is that making up one more good lie will get him past this; it always has.

They nominated him. They are stuck with him.

Does anybody think Bill Clinton could have gotten elected if the internet was as powerful a force in 1992 as it is today ?

You're forgetting who his VP was, aren't you...? :)

"With the exceptions of Reagan's first term and W's foreign policy, that 32 years of Republican presidents has been RINO all the way. Big deal."

Yeah! I noticed that too. When I was born FDR was still president, and I said, "it would be a good thing if the New Deal could just continue." Of course my IQ was that of a child. I think you know where I am going with this.

Very good point, J.L. Does anyone think that John F. Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson would've got elected if the Internet had existed back then?

I really think we will get better leaders from now on because the lamestream media can no longer the hide the truth about people.

Nobody can "force him out." This is a fallacy. He was nominated to be the Democrat Presidential candidate. Period. There is no mechanism for removing him from the ticket. The only way to do that would be to have 50 states re-write their election laws, the democrat party suspend their rules, and hold another convention. It is not going to happen.

I really wish that people would quit dragging out this utterly ridiculous idea of Hillary being the candidate in 2004. She isn't. Kerry is. Period.

Oh, wait, there is another way: If the clintons assasinate Kerry and Edwards, then the dem party would have to put somebody else in the position. That is, of course, equally ridiculous.

"He blamed Kerry for the whole thing, saying he had set himself up for this problem by making Vietnam the centerpiece of his campaign."

He seems more upset that Kerry allowed himself to be exposed than he he is about the lies and deceit.

C'mon; how stupid do you have to be to have any confidence in the media even at THIS point.

Yes, they are pretty well stuck with him, but *technically* he can still be replaced.

It might be worth remembering that he's made more vacation trips than votes in the Senate. Is he really capable of *working* for an entire national campaign?! He's got a billionairess colonialist for a wife; is she really going to endure an entire national campaign, too?!

OK, he can probably handle it...and he probably really wants the brass ring...but I can't say 100% that he's in for the long run as were Dole and Clinton back in 1996, or Bush and Gore back in 2000. He's simply never demonstrated that he could handle *anything* (e.g. marriage, job, etc.) for any great length of time through any great struggle.

It's simply something to keep in mind. The Torricelli cutoff date hasn't passed yet.

He simply misremembered that part. < /sarcasm >

I must have missed it, what law is it that says he can not quit?

They should have chosen Edwards.

Substitution is allowed. It's still early.

The internet is a real monkey wrench in the political machinations of the media. The don't have a way to plug up the leaks on the net other than with their defamation techniques.

Remembering Kerry and Edwards on the covers of the major "news" magazines, the same ones that put Moore's oily countenance on the front and made honest folk taste bile, I decided that I might try something.

I am going to make a bunch of small paper signs that I am going to start putting everywhere, bookstores, grocery stores, newsstands, Walmart, you name it. Even in the mags like the blown in subscription cards.

They will simply say "Why is the media afraid to report about the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth?" or "Why won't John Kerry fact the Swiftboat veterans?" "Why is John Kerry so afaid of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth?" "Find out why John Kerry is "unfit for command"" etc. etc.


All will have (www.swiftvets.com) on them. Eventually, it has to make some people wake up, and if I can open just a few people's eyes to the truth, and more importantly, the way that the media is lying to them through the deliberate omission of this story, I will have done my part.

We have to be proactive. The media is.

They nominated him. They are stuck with him.

If (when) the polls show he is sure to lose, Kerry can either resign from the race and stay on as Senator (for the good of the people, donchaknow); or the DEM party will utterly ruin him -- he'll lose the presidential election, and he'll be raked over the coals so bad that he will be forced out of his Senate office in disgrace. "It's your choice John. Call us in the morning."

"he will be under pressure to release those infamous medical records from Nam."

If he does (not that I think he will), it will provide hours of amusement.
