I am getting tired of this BS about "time for Kerry to
take off the gloves" --- "Kerry needs to hit back."

WHAT ELSE, pray tell, has Kerry been doing since last
summer except bash BUSH?

Running out of time? Gee, the second half has only just begun.

I saw that report, too. but more critical to the kerry campaign than a lack of time, is a lack of brains, a strategy, a plan, coherence, cajones, a message, and, for that matter, a candidate.

There are serious suggestions that memos purporting to show George W. Bush received preferential treatment during his National Guard service are forgeries. And those memos appear to have on them the paw prints of a desperate Kerry campaign.

It was "60 Minutes," the CBS News program, that last week "broke" the story. It detailed four memos purportedly from the personal file of late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian. One of their juicer tidbits -- Col. Killian was pressured to "sugarcoat" Bush's record.

But there may be a few problems. Not only do Killian's wife and son doubt the authenticity of some of the memos, some experts say the type font doesn't ring true. It's more akin to the computer-generated letters of Microsoft Word than typewriters commonly used at the time, they say.

Additionally, prior Killian memos, their authenticity unquestioned, called Bush "an exceptionally fine young officer and a pilot."

Gary Killian, who served with his father, called the CBS-obtained memos "a mixture of truth and fiction."

An opposition research staffer for the Democratic National Committee is said to have received the documents from a retired military officer six weeks ago. Senior DNC and Kerry staff members are said to have reviewed them, the latter supposedly passing them on to "60 Minutes."

Should these memos prove to be the forgeries some think they are, John Kerry will have dug his political grave. So, too, the Democratic Party.

During the Battle of Stanlingrad the Russians blasted a clock ticking, 24 hours a day to remind the Germans that their time was running out.
tick, tick, tick,

Between the hurricanes (you notice how they are all going to Florida...and we know who the governor's brother is) and Memogate goof ups, seems Kerry can't make a headline.

I loved it today when some of the TV talking heads were talking and one asked, does anyone know where Kerry was at today?

DAVID GERGEN: I think the single biggest weakness the Kerry campaign has become is that his rhetoric and his votes on Iraq have struck many, many voters as being incoherent. And they don't understand what he thinks about Iraq and what he thinks ought to happen in the future.

Are the Gergens and Kerrys related?

Boy, David Gergen has described sKerry to a tee!

And slighted him in a compassionate way I might add.

[counterpunch]

John Kerry made a mistake, and the Democrats made a mistake in nominating him.
Kerry's plan was to simply run as "acceptable" to the American people, and his entitlement complex would take care of the rest.

As it turns out he is neither acceptable nor entitled.

"...the single biggest weakness the Kerry campaign has become is that his rhetoric and his votes on Iraq have struck many, many voters as being incoherent."

No, David. The single biggest weakness is the candidate himself.
