piece of work, this Burkett fellow.
Billy has a big mouth, doesn't he?
More proof that Liberalism is a disgusting disease...
Republicans? Lenin and Castro must be Democrats.
I can't wait to see Rather introduce this guy as his "unimpeachable source".
Also.. Anyone curious about what the "dirty tricks in the voting booth and counting" are? Is there any way we can investigate this?
This just really ticks me off.
Again, I hope this is exposed to the public.
And that's what is about to get the election tight enough that the dirty tricks in the voting booth and counting will work.
Oooh goody my blog is practically writing itself...
In related news, I asked my husband to bring me some fluffy bunny slippers, so even while in dayclothes, I may slip them on so as to be one of the "pajama people". Here we go...
What a picture this man presents! Can you imagine his children reading this? Yes, it's all about dirty tricks and cheating and winning.
This old boy is going to be hearing from Ashcroft and the DOJ. So are a lot of his Dim fellow conspirators.
This strikes me as a guy who thinks it all depends on him. That he is the key. That he is the lone mover and shaker that can make it happen.
Are you sure about this? I mean, this is too good to be true.
There are some people who would like to see FR with egg on it's face.
Wow. This is amazing. It couldn't be more, how do you say it, insane!
"He (Kerry) has left himself as a piñata at the end of Karl Rove's baton."
He's not completely deluded. This statement from Burkett showed he had a grasp on the situation.
"C'mon Kerry, get out that spitball cannon and fight, you gutless wonder".

Fellow Progressive Populist Caucus Members:
Our brother, Bill Burkett is under siege by the Carl Rove smear machine. Bill is a charter member of the PPC and our friend. Co-founder of the PPC with me,
David Van Os assures me that as Bill's legal Counsel on a longstanding basis, any assertions that Bill has engaged in "forgery" vis a vis the now infamous documentation of the Bush desertion of duty as a Texas National Guardsman is total smear with the footprints of the Karl Rove modus operandi all over it. Representing the PPC, I stand with both our brothers Burkett and Van Os and applaud their guts to stand up to the right wing slander machine; President Kerry and many of our DNC brethren can take a lesson from our two populist fellow-Texans who have the cajones to look contemptuously in the eye these ruthless cowards bringing down our formerly proud democracy and tell them to go to h*ll.

First, we all knew the swift boat book and attack ads were coming. I knew about them in May, for God's sake. I saw postings on this site in Early July.By that time, the SBVfT had been active for a while. Everyone knew about it. Those gents have waited over 30 years for this payback.
On the one hand, the Kerry team wanted to wait it out and say nothing and play the good guy role.That's such an outright, baldfaced lie it's unbelievable. Kerry et al have used nothing but underhanded and negative tactics since before the primaries. When the SBVfT stuff got press, he spun out, he went nuts (to borrow a Sam Kinison phrase). At the convention he trumped up his Vietnam service, and shot himself in the foot again with his statements about body armor. He is, quite simply, either the simplest simpleton ever to run for president, or he's arrogant beyond description, counting on the people to be utterly stupid with a short attention span. Or maybe both.
Most of this was grounded in the same responsive approach Gore and Dukakis had used and it was obvious both that Bush would use this approach and the effect it would have. So why didn't we learn from the lessons?Maybe because he's lying? The Kerry campaign has never had anything but a "me-too" message. Kerry seems in favor of everything Bush is in favor of (other than abortion), but says he'll do it better. He's even said he'll leave the troops in Iraq until 2008. Everything else is an incoherent, continual attack based on air from between Michael Moore's cheeks.
Then we overestimated the impact and level of commitment of new found supporters gained from the convention. We began to believe our own press, and Kerry goes on vacation.Kerry didn't go on vacation, he went into seclusion, in order to avoid media contact. His numbers stop sinking whenever he stops talking. But they don't rise. GWB was gaining strength before the convention, gained from the convention, and I expect will gain even more from the two debates.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent
Hot stuff for sure!
