Sowell shines the blinding light of truth on kerry's abject LACK of presidential qualifications.

[you don't have to excerpt townhall, do you?]

[camboianchristmas]

And the dems want us to concentrate on Bush supposedly missing several months of National Guard service. 20 years of taking up oxygen and warming a seat in Congress with nothing to show for it? What a slacker.

[MisterRepublican]

Thomas Sowell. Always excellent.

How many bills did Kerry actually introduce? How many of them made it out of a committee?

[dennisw]

My thoughts exactly. I've been saying the same but not as well. John Kerry has been a do-nothing, no-show Senator for 20 years. Was referred to as a backbencher by the Clinton administration. What exactly is his claim to fame? 4 months in Vietnam?

Yet this sniveling punk has a big mouth on him when it comes to George Bush who has a record he can run on. One that can be praised or criticized.

If the same job applicant who won't discuss his own qualifications just keeps complaining about the performance of someone whose job he wants to take, would you think that was enough reason to hire him?

ROTFL - it isn't even an analogy. It's the literal truth.

Kerry & Edwards couldn't even bother to show up to vote on Porter Goss' nomination.

"If someone applied to you for a job but didn't want to talk about what he has been doing in the last 20 years, wouldn't you be suspicious?"

There it is, Bush-Cheney 2004 - - the first line of your next TV ad.
Take it and run with it.

I think it's very telling that SENATOR Kerry's committee attendance is just one more record he wants to keep hidden.

[Anti-Bubba182]

The issue of Kerry's Senate record has been raised many times, but does not seem to have gotten any traction.

The principle reason is that Kerry does not talk much about it and nobody has been able to hang him with it.

His endlessly touted Vietnam service served ironically and justly to give traction to the Swift Boat Vets's effort against him.

Kerry is wise not to much raise the issue of his Senate record to a prominent point of his campaign. The paper trail of so many years is much more extensive and accurate than the combat records and citations of four months service in Vietnam 35 years ago. His laziness, non attendance, bloviations on the Senate floor, and steadfast opposition to so many Military programs and Anti-Soviet foreign policy positions will scream to high heaven if brought to the fore. In short, he is a liberal Senator from Massachusetts.

This is, not surprisingly considering who wrote it, THE most cogent article I have yet seen on the matter of the upcoming presidential election!

[Bigun]

Ping for a GREAT read!

PBS had Nancy Pelosi on for a half hour last nite, attacking, spinning, promising big programs. Definitely appealing to the "what has government done for me lately" crowd.

If Kerry gets in, this crowd will dig deep into my wallet.

[Ooh-Ah]

Thanks. This really says it all!
