WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Never bring a gun to a gunfight unless you're sure you'll win it. Campaign Kerry just slammed the door in their nose again. I feel sorry for the idiots running their campaign.

I want to see a copy of that letter...I only heard Carl read a very small portion of what he said will be handed to the visiting Kerry delegation.

Stay tuned.

[Bringbackthedraft]

"Daniel Inouye, Tom Carper, Jon Corzine, Tom Harkin, Fritz Hollings, Frank Lautenberg, Jack Reed, Bill Nelson, and Jeff Bingaman."

All "W" has to do is show them some Texas Hospitality. Invite them in for a BBQ and a showing of all their adds along with Fahrenheit 9/11. Then ask them, "So what are you here for?"

[cyncooper]

Yay sissyjane...you heard Carl, too!!

American Spectator says Kerry was calling up 60 Minutes to go on Sunday to address the issue before the GOP convention.

That means that his internal polling is showing really bad things..

[Cboldt]

Cameron read a bit and the gist is that they share the concern about vets questioning other vets about their honorable service, therefore they have some questions about comments Kerry has made in the past...

Oooooh. Great response. Bring up Kerry's anti-war activities. Take it right back to him.

[sissyjane]

I was jumping up and down yelling, so didn't hear all of it, but what I heard Bush is BRINGING IT ON-BIG TIME!!!!!!

[hushpad]

Silly stunts like this won't impress the American people. But if they want to keep Vietnam alive each day, hey who am I to argue with them.



This goes beyond silly stunts IMO. Why doesn't anyone notice that sKerry is trying to BAN BOOKS and attempting to get the President of the United States to SUPRESS FREE SPEECH?

Kerry should be denouncing those who wish to suppress the freedom of others, not helping them - that is even ANOTHER issue.

Also, I don't think this is so much about keeping Vietnam alive, thats democrap spin: This is about KERRYS BAD CHARACTER!

[sissyjane]

Woo Hoooo!!!!!!!!!!

[cyncooper]

I think that it is within bounds to take note of an historical event like Kerry's vaunted testimony before a Senate Committee.

That's not the same as harping on issues that one doesn't have firsthand knowledge about (like Bush will never ever question Kerry's service in Vietnam).

[Alberta's Child]

There's something ironic about a former Senator who was thrown out of office by his constituents two years ago dellivering a letter from nine current Senators.

[Mamzelle]

Freep potential? How are they moving around--will they be at the airports or taking their Learjets?

[Snardius]

Kerry/Shrum are suicidal for keeping this story moving forward, IMO..but let's not get in their way

Guess who the campaign manager was for the 1994 Foley/Nethercutt matchup when, for the first time since the 1800's a sitting Speaker of the House was defeated?

Robert Shrum
Why this guy is still in politics is amazing to me.

[WHBates]

Now that's funny. LOL

[unojook]

Tell them to take a "HUCKING FIKE"

Let me get this straight. The Dems have 90% of the print media and all of network TV, not just the news. They have the movies, including but not limited to Fahrenheit 9/11. They have all the support of the "Hollywood Royalty."

The only section they don't already control, a few hundred vets who remember Kerry from his mere 4 months in Viet Nam 35 years ago, has some serious questions for Kerry to answer.

He is so hopping mad that he is even ASKED such honest, necessary questions, that he wants the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES to make the vets stop asking!

Besides, the Swiftees have already said they would not respect the President's wishes if he asked them to stop. Kerry forgot that our leader is not a dictator and cannot command people to stop talking. Maybe he is running for leader of the wrong country.

[oblomov]

Did Michael Moore cook up this stunt for Kerry? It's exactly his M.O.

[cyncooper]

errand boy...

[babaloo]

This just keeps getting better and better. I love that they are billing this as an unexpected visit. The Kerry campaign is Wile E. Coyote personified.
