The "John Flapjack Kerry" camp is in complete disarray. Now look, you diehard dems know it and you can see it playing out right before your eyes.
I know that now you're thinking to yourself thoughts like "I wonder if Dick Gephardt would be in this position?" or "Jo-motion wouldn't have had these kinds of issues..."
AND YOU'RE RIGHT...
But you let the nut-wing lefties wrestle control away from you in the primaries. The reasonable ones among you did not speak up when Farenheit 9/11 called into question the patriotism of even our nation's military service men and women. And even when there were 59 specific points of fact that were proven false in the Michael Moore "film" you just sat there assuming that your guy was taking a lead and that he would make it all good after the election.
ON THAT YOU'RE NOT RIGHT...
John Kerry has proven to be one constant mistake after another. You know it and I know it. I mean for crying out loud he couldn't even get the Ohio State Buckeyes/Michigan Wolverine thing straight and its only the biggest rivalry in all of College sports...
Kerry's decision to take on the Swift Boat Vets publicly suddenly gave them mainstream attention in the media. And people, even IN the media are figuring out that these guys aren't pulling this stuff out of their backsides. Nope, the SBVs are reasonable - even likable people. Some of them are democrats, some of them are republicans, some of them are independents. Some of them would have supported a Gephardt for President without question. Some of them voted for McCain. But one thing is clear - they think Kerry is a danger as commander in chief. And I don't know about you but when an officer's ENTIRE chain of command pegs him a bad apple - to me it counts for something.
NOW THEY'VE GONE AND DONE IT...
Just about the time Kerry started his belly-aching about the Swift Boat Vets (shameless plug here - John O'Neil/my show/on Tuesday), they had to move on to what I believe will be a far MORE damaging ad. Using Kerry's own voice they juxtapose him saying how they had cut off ears, and heads, and electrically shocked people's gentials, with former Prisoners of War who underwent torture to keep from admitting what John Kerry said before the Senate for free.
This is what will KILL John Kerry - from this point forth on the Veterans vote - and for Kerry - to the Vet's - he's dead.
And according to polls out this weekend it looks like his position on Partial Birth abortion (he supports it), Live Birth Abortion (he supports it), Abortion on demand (he supports it), and aggressively promoting the gay agenda and ready to do the bidding of the "same sex marriage" lobby (he supports them all) - the Catholics have had it with him too.
Add to that the fact that Bush is polling 28% of the African American vote in California and 43% of the Latino vote in that same state and this all just has to make you hate life.
And by the way - when John Kerry went from "Bring it on..." to "Stop it their picking on me..." he pretty much lost the whole "ability to lead" thing as well...
AND THAT'S JOHN KERRY AND HE'S "REPORTING FOR DUTY"...
Holy cow! When did this happen? Anyone have a link? I must have missed the blazing headline in the New York Times.
That is a great editorial. While the author is obviously right-leaning, it does illustrate an important point:
Right now, questioning John Kerry is a much more target-rich environment than questioning George W. Bush. All the big guns have been launched at Bush. Even the Kerry camp is regurgitating the National Guard stuff, which is 4 years old.
I believe the Swifties. Why? They have everything to lose and nothing to gain. Nothing. A Kerry Presidency will only spell government retaliation for every last one of them. I admire their courage and strength and getting the truth out, painful as it is.
No, you are forgetting that Terry works for Hitlary......
ATTN : ABC CBS CNN FOX NBC William B. Rood was not actually ON Kerry's boat

One thing about folks like Kerry with Narcissistic Personality Disorder - they are completely predictable.
Excellent, excellent post.
I think we have just got a glimpse of Kerry's secret National Security plan: cry "Stop picking on US!"
HERE'S THE REAL "A" TEAM.....

If Kerry keeps digging himself into this hole, he's through.
I'm happy. Anyone else?
And by the way - when John Kerry went from "Bring it on..." to "Stop it their picking on me..." he pretty much lost the whole "ability to lead" thing as well...
and there it is...
Three short weeks from machismo to meltdown. But no rest for us. We can't stick the fork in until we pull the lever on election day.

During the interview Mr. Tin was asked if the American antiwar movement was important to Hanoi's victory. Mr. Tin responded "It was essential to our strategy" referring to the war being fought on two fronts, the Vietnam battlefield and back home in America through the antiwar movement on college campuses and in the city streets. He further stated the North Vietnamese leadership listened to the American evening news broadcasts "to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement." Visits to Hanoi made by persons such as Jane Fonda, former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and various church ministers "gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."
Mr. Tin surmised that "America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win." Mr. Tin further advised that General Vo Nguyen Giap (Commanding General of the North Vietnam Army) said the 1968 Tet Offensive was a defeat. Gen. Giap in his book, made the same statement, adding that they were surprised by the news media reporting and the demonstrations in America. Instead of seeking a conditional surrender, they would now hold out because America's resolve was weakening and victory could be theirs.
Thanks! That pic now graces my desktop (replacing Howard Dean crushing the kitten).
