Gosh I hope so.
In my own personal campaigning for Pres Bush - my biggest challenge is my old-time Democrat mother. She listens to Peter Jennings every night. She subscribes to the blatantly Democrat newspaper in her city. I asked her last week why she would vote for Kerry and her answer was because she doesn't like Bush. I said "well Mom, you are so intelligent - you would cast your vote for someone just because you don't like the other guy? What issue is it about Kerry that you like so well? She couldn't come up with a single thing. But I guarantee you she will go vote for Kerry and she is so typical of voters who listen to the media. I relate this to you as representative of why we have got our work cut out for us - to reach as many people as we can with the real issues.
Just do your part--pass onthe information--Capatian's QuartersBlog has the best information. But instapundit.com is also good. And Scarborough had an excellent summary of the Swifties' book on msnbc. If every IT user on FR and Lucianne passes this stuff on, the media will be unable to sit on this much longer.
My Barnes and Noble had SOLD OUT! He said they initially received 50 copies, and they all sold within three hours. He will have a "Bunch" of them in next week. He also said that they had been "overwhelmed" at the inquiries about "Unfit For Command"!
Someone IS paying attention!!!

Tell her--as I tell my mother--that if Kerry is reelected he will get you and her grandchildren killed.
Rush Limbaugh(talkradio) and the internet. That's the reason the liberal media is so transparent. Nothing else.
Most people would have never heard that Dowd lied in her column. Yes, "lied". If not for Rush, etc., we'd be screwed.
It's comforting to know their power has faded and their reputations are ruined.
"Take the Democraps registration, about 43% and add this 15%. Here is a majority, that if true, will control government for years to come!"
1952-1960 Republican Eisenhower
1960-1968 Democrat Kennedy-Johnson
1968-1976 Republican Nixon/Ford
1976-1980 Democrat Carter
1980-1988 Republican Reagan
1988-1992 Republican Bush
1992-2000 Democrat Clinton
2000- Republican Bush
In the past fifty two yers we have had 32 years of Republican Presidents in the White House and twenty years of democrats, in spite of the fact that the media has been against republicans. Given that history, I'm counting on another four years with W.
Ab-so-lute-ly J-F'ing-K right. This election is a contest about the efficacy of information streams. The RAT propagandists on the left, and the cacophonous din of unfettered information flow on the right. All people should reason critically, but only truly free people will have the stones to make up their own minds...

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.
I know, Kerry throws like a girl. He's a GRILY-MAN. Vote for the girly-man, be non-sexist!
I have been saying for awhile that Kerry in not acting as a rational person running for the highest office in the land. I do not need to list everything he has done wrong, we all know them, but the questin remains, why?
I am thinking he is a placeholder for you know who (the junior Senator from New York).
His job was to pull President Bush into the mud with him, to damage the President, and to cause the American people turn from supporing him (the President).
If he was able to hurt the President enough, he was to drop out of the race and having you know who, take offer.
Hillary wants to be President. There is one big obstacle to those goals, Hillary could not withstand a long primary, followed by a real campaign. Her only hope is to have as short of a campaign as possible. This requires someone to hold her place, and weaken the President.
Keeping this in mind, Kerry's flip flops, lies, evasions, and down right nutty behavior becomes clearer. He is just having fun.
Something has gone wrong with thier plans. President Bush is not playing their game. He is not allowing himself to be baited He has remained on the high road, and calmly taken care of business.
I think the plan was if the President was wounded by time of the Democratic Convention Kerry would have stepped down, and Hillary would have moved up to save the party.
The Democrats not known for playing by the rules still may be thinking of a switch, but each day Kerry is a little weaker and the President is a little stronger, so I think they are stuck now with the hand they have.
Barnes and Noble didn't have any. Said they hadn't gotten their shipment yet. What a surprise-NOT!
Are they going to be saying that all the way till November? Oh, well, more customers for Amazon...
The "UNSPOKEN" truth about kerry is that he is mentally unstable! I have a friend who is a Psychologist (academic research). He is also a lib (are you surprised?). He voted for klintoon twice, and then voted for gored-head. He and I were talking over a glass, and he started telling me about how kerry is (dangerously) mentally ill. He went into clinical reasons as to why he thought kerry was unstable, as he explained kerry's actions and statements that led him to this conclusion.
He will vote Bush in November, although he says he will hold his nose. He just says these things to barb at me, because I can assure you that I give at least as good as I get. ;-)
We usually NEVER discuss politics, as it is just a waste of time. I was quite surprised to hear him discuss this on his own. I kept my mouth shut. I don't want to screw up a "good thing"!

OH BALONEY! There are no CRACKS! The RATS and their slaves the mediaWHORES are more solidified then EVER!!
EMAIL THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR LIST
In January 1969, Sandusky's boat, PCF-94, came under attack during one such ambush. Lt. Ted Peck, the officer in charge, and another crewman were seriously wounded. Sandusky had to take command.
The boat was sinking and on fire, but Sandusky steered it back to safety. They counted 155 bullet holes in the boat and found a live enemy rocket in the main cabin. It had come to rest in a sack of potatoes.
For his actions, Sandusky would receive the Bronze Star.
With their officer headed home, the crew of PCF-94 needed a leader. And Lt. j.g. John Kerry, whose crew on PCF-44 had rotated back home, needed men to lead.
"I was sure glad he came along," Sandusky said, "because to be honest, I didn't want to take command."
From Jan. 30 to March 13, 1969, Kerry and the crew of the PCF-94 would conduct 18 missions in the Mekong Delta river system. In that time, Kerry would earn a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and add two Purple Hearts to the one he received earlier.
Bingo! Yachtzee! Alston received his serious wounds in that same exact battle that took Peck out of service. On January 29th, Alston was medevaced out to a hospital with head wounds and no records indicate that he ever returned to the unit. Kerry took command of PCF-94 the next day. Alston never served a day under Kerry's command. In fact, Kerry received a replacement, Fred Short, on 28 February as a replacement for Alston.
Now what does that tell us about Kerry and his Viet Nam narrative?
1. He and Alston conspired to deceive people about Alston's service under Kerry. That conspiracy was intended to give John Kerry cover against exactly the kind of campaign he faces from the other Swiftvets.
2. The "end of January" language on Kerry's website was intentionally vague in order to fuzzy up the timeline and keep Alston's true status a secret. Obviously, Sandusky remembers the dates well enough, and Kerry could easily have gotten them from him if he wanted to be as specific as his other dates on the timeline.
3. The DNC either were saps or actively participated in the conspiracy in order to assist Kerry in his Viet Nam mythology. Otherwise, why would they have allowed David Alston to speak at the convention about his experiences serving with John Kerry on the boat?
4. Kerry's band of brothers have some complicity in this cover-up as well. Those who served on PCF-94 surely remember that Alston never served under Kerry; Sandusky specifically recalls Peck being wounded and removed from command, but he wouldn't remember that Alston left at the same time?
5. One could argue that they served on the same boat, of course, and I look forward to that Clintonian parsing used in Kerry's defense. After holding Alston up as an expert on his leadership, he'll be hard pressed to explain how that expertise came to Alston from a hospital bed miles away from Kerry and his old PCF.
If this gets out to the mainstream media, this story kills Kerry's campaign. This isn't just a guy embellishing his war record -- this is a deliberate and longstanding attempt to mislead and defraud people by creating his own witnesses after the fact. That he could have done such a clumsy job should disqualify him for higher office on that basis alone

It's more like RamboGate with lots of Rambo Eruptions (the later coined by another Freeper).
