Kerry's showing he just can't take the heat

Bump for Steyn in excellent form.

[Rummyfan]

Bump! Great post thanks!

[Lady Jag]

Reliably, Steyn put it eloquently. Kerry will be buried in a landslide.

[Rummyfan]

In a lighter vein...Jay Leno, last night:

"Kerry campaigned in three states yesterday " Anger, Denial, and Indecision"

Oh my if they are making jokes like that you are finished!

[AmishDude]

The nice thing about Bush's lead is that Dems will not feel comfortable with an October surprise. They'll have to throw the dirt now, hoping something will stick.

[Chieftain]

One of the BIG reasons that Kerry has tanked in the polls is because of the Swiftees killer ads!

You can bet the DemocRAT 'smear the Swiftees' campaign will be kicked up to a whole new level now.

Support for the Swiftees is crucial right now, so they can get these ads on the air on REGULAR TV in battleground states.

FReepers are key in getting the word out about the righteousness of the SBVFT by exposing Kerry's FRAUD.

These Swiftee window stickers get the word out to the driving public, display public support for the SBVFT, as well as displaying the website address!

Thanks Pokey! I was digging around on the site and thinking, odd, no Steyn ping on a Saturday, when up popped your ping. This is a delicious Steyn!

No doubt the Democrats did the right thing taking Howard Dean down. No telling what that wild man might have said and done between the primaries and their convention to scare the pants off America.

I always knew, one way or the other, Kerry would be the dem's candidate, as he was the only one with a military record to go up against Bush as Commander in Chief. But who could have predicted the impact of the Swifties? Or the disasterous way Kerry handled them?

We know 2 things for sure. 1. The media would have never exposed Kerry's military record. 2. Bush couldn't even bring it up. So without the Swifties, ....nevermind! I can't even bear to think of it.

Oh, my. I could have sworn that human vivisection was illegal. This is just brutal.

POKEY78 has the Mark Steyn ping list.

There is another guy who posts Steyn, unnecesarily excerpted, and Pokey78 doesn't ping those.

Freepmail pokey to go on his list, but back that up with a FR search for "Steyn", once a week or so. You'll get anything he writes that's posted on FR. He writes several articles a week for various publications, so that'll be quite a treasure trove for you if you're a new Steyn fan.

Kerry really is a whiner! I think he got a preview of Bush's double digit
bounce coming out of the RNC Convention and is really panicking now.

The Meltdown continues!!

Steyn tees it up.... And hits it long!

Kerry's just too easy to slam. He damns himself every time he opens his mouth.

[Let's Roll]

"Before he spoke, supporting Bush was a duty one owed to the fallen. Now, it is an honor."

Very nice.

[1john2 3and4]

thanks poke! steyn could write about pseudociliated stratified columnar epithelium and be interesting. with this stuff, he's a genius, imo.

[JoeGar]

Very well-written. LOL.

[Slings and Arrows]

You are absolutely right. Our only option is to win by such a large margin that the RATS can't make up the difference with vote fraud. Fortunately, this prospect seems more and more likely.

Steyn in top form as usual!

From the article:

And for this the senator broke the eminently civilized tradition that each candidate lets the other guy have his convention week to himself? Maybe they need to start scheduling those Kerry campaign shakeups twice a week.

There was an old joke back in the Cold War:

Proud American to Russian guy: ''In my country every one of us has the right to criticize our president.''

Russian guy: ''Same here. In my country every one of us has the right to criticize your president.''

That seems to be the way John Kerry likes it. Americans should be free to call Bush a moron, a liar, a fraud, a deserter, an agent of the House of Saud, a mass murderer, a mass rapist (according to the speaker at a National Organization for Women rally last week) and the new Hitler (according to just about everyone). But how dare anyone be so impertinent as to insult John Kerry! No one has the right to insult Kerry, except possibly Teresa, and only on the day she gives him his allowance.

**''Two tours of duty'' **

I couldn't decipher if it was two hours or two tours.

He was only in Vietnam for four months. Isn't a tour of Duty at least twelve months?

If we heard right, then a Tour of Duty in Kerry's dictionary = two months.

Can someone clarify?
