I guarantee you, our friends over at DU aren't laughing. I can't remember having this much fun in a campaign. Win or lose, we'll have a blast. I just pity the other side, they all agree Bush is the American Osama Bin Laden but they can't make the President look silly. When it comes to political humor, the Left is bereft of a major weapon. The American people look up to Bush. As for Kerry, these days they're beginning to feel sorry for him.

If you want passivity and wallowing in victim culture, the Dems will do. If you want to win this thing, Bush is the only guy running.

Great column. Solid closing.

"President Bush will be all calm, and Kerry will come apart at the seams."

I think they'll have to dope him up, which won't exactly sharpen his debating skills. He truly has not one thing to run on other than that he is entitled. Bwahahaha.

Very well laid out.

Time for this remembrance to reappear:

Yes, Kerry's actions caused 15,000 American lives. Kerry has American blood dripping from his hands! Kerry is a disgrace to every Vietnam Veteran. Kerry should be in prison, not the presidency.

''I have five words for Americans,'' he thundered. ''This is your wake up call!''

No kidding, when he puts the electorate to sleep! Maybe that's his game plan, to bore us to death before the terrorists come over here to finish the job.

Then after he & his MSM friends get out of the nuke shack he'll hold a press conference with a speech on mercy killing. (/sarcasm off)

"No one has the right to insult Kerry, except possibly Teresa, and only on the day she gives him his allowance."

Priceless.

Oh man, that has got to hurt. I got a pain in my groin when I read this and I wasn't even the target.

The Steyn piece is so great (hard for him to outdo himself, but he did), that I copied and saved it. Then I read your post and saved that too. I remember Kerry's testimony. It was devastating to hear that "our guys" were doing such things. It shook me to my roots. I never had anything but respect for those in the military, but I had the impression that something so horrible was going on that it had turned our boys into what to me was unrecognizable. All that anguish, and it was untrue. What Kerry did is not forgivable.

What is it with Kerry numbering his words for us?
It is getting very tiring!
Doesn't he recall those 3 big words he used a month ago, "Bring it on!"?

I thought President Bush was supposed to bring it on?

But now, when Bush does just that, Kerry acts like he's being wildly hysterical.

Sorry Johnny boy, but you asked for it....and now you got it.

Do something about it...other than complain...you dope.

How about releasing the medical records of your miliary service so we can see who recommended you for those purple hearts [was it you?].....or maybe the complete financial records of your wealthy bride Theresa [whose influence will become staggering if you become president].
Those two items would go a long way toward clearing up two of your HUGE infected credibility gap.

BRING THEM ON!!!!

oh yeah, those three words are repeating

But because of the Anti-War movement in America (led by Jane Fonda and John Kerry) they felt that the Demonstrations “gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses."

And most important was 'Uncle' Walter Conkrite with the biggest stab in the back by declaring on the CBS Evening News the Vietnam War was lost and it was time to get out.

Mark Steyne is easily my favorite political writer. Another fave says in a column this week that Kerry is so crazed, drunk and imbalanced that it is reasonable not to agree to debate him this cycle. I agree. Also, the AP story by Tom Hayes AKA anonymous is an outrage.

My lib friends who watched the convention say that they don't know who to vote for and that Kerry is a terrible candidate.

but try to imagine Kerry doing the equivalent of Bush's gags about mangled English and swaggering.

"I NEVER fall off my snowboard!!!"
