I Nearly Fell Out Of Bed (Where I Lounge To Watch TV)
Stark Raving Mad ^ | 09/22/04 | Lark

Posted on 09/23/2004 1:49:30 PM PDT by LarkNeelie

Just moments after Iraqi PM Allawi spoke to a joint meeting of Congress wherein he thanked America, describing the horror of life under Saddam and Iraq’s staggeringly swift progress toward self-sufficiency under the umbrella of US protection, John Frickin’ Kerry on national TV today accused Allawi of being in cahoots with President Bush to lie about the state of Iraq! In a stunning and breathtaking breach of diplomatic decency now seared in my memory (seared, I tell you), Kerry dragged Allawi directly into his tasteless campaign rhetoric, saying:

"The prime minister and the president are here obviously to put their best face on the policy…”
It’s quite obvious Kerry is furious since Allawi’s speech directly contradicts Kerry’s new meme of “quagmire” in Iraq, not to mention everything else Kerry has ever said about Iraq and the WOT. These unseemly reactions are typical of Kerry, though I continue to marvel at it given his insistence that he is “Mr. Diplomacy”. This man needs a brain transplant. How about integrity? Where’s the Wizard of Oz when you need him?

In the press conference later at the White House with President Bush, Allawi stopped the questions for a moment to address the media’s negative reporting slant on Iraq. He put the “insurgency” into perspective, saying - and I paraphrase a bit - “Iraq has 18 provinces, 15 of which are peaceful and stable and in which free elections could be easily held tomorrow. In the three provinces where terrorists are lurking,” he goes on to say, “those are large provinces and the battles occur in a small part of the province.” Allawi also said that the media, not just here in America but all over the world, needs to start reporting more than just the bad news that is occurring in a tiny portion of the country. Call Allawi a member of the VRWC - he wants fair and balanced reporting, too! Call the New York Mimes! Heck, take it all the way and call Dan Blather! This is obviously unimpeachable evidence that Allawi failed to appear for his own physical. Or something.

But I digress. Back to the press conference. In response to a question on the conditions in Iraq, Bush made the point of telling the reporters that “he believed Allawi” - a well-deserved poke in the eye for Kerry, in my opinion. Picture it. Sicily. 19- er, sorry, wrong ‘fictitious’ character… Picture it. Iraq. 2004. President Kerry (I know! hold on to your barf bags and bear with me) - President Kerry assumes partnership with Allawi in the War On Terror and the continued rebuilding of Iraq. Egad! Allawi would spit in his eye. After dissin’ their Prime Minister, could Kerry even visit Iraq safely? Has Kerry ‘jumped the shark’? Don’t bet on it.

John Kerry is the biggest liar to run for the presidency. His most recent lie that Iraq and AQ were not connected has even been contradicted by the Senate Intelligence Committee Report which Kerry obviously hasn't had the time to read.

He has flip flopped so many times that I think he's mentally unbalanced.

Of course John sKerry is going to lie and misrepresent. He can only stay in the race if he upsets enough people who would not otherwise vote. The man is divorced from reality and is a danger to the country.

I heard the reporterette who aksed the question, of which Kerry chomped on like a chum-fed bluefish. It was sweet.

Now you know why the Ickes, McCurry, Lehane, Palladino bunch won't let Kerry meet with the press. The longer he avoids them, the worserer the questions will get.

And I just loved the Tereeeezah oral machine gun today. That women is just such a charmer. Someone on that campaign is going to lace her caviar with roofies or acepromazine. Red eyed and drooling is better than forming thoughts and expressing them in her case.

Not being at the speech, Kerry had the perfect statesman-like excuse to eloquently defer comment until he got a chance to review the speech himself.

BBBuuttt, Nooooo! He had to sound cheeky as they say!

Kerry and his ugly wife are both talking themselves right out of the White House. Keep it up John.

OBL & Omar said at the onset of going into Afghanistan, the U.S. doesn't have the stomach to stick this war out. Do you remember that Kerry?

The Dems have reached the point where they know they can't win so their next best bet is to inflict as much damage as possible. They are like teens who when the break up with their significant try to as much to hurt them as possible. Sad and pitiful is the only way to describe them. They have spent the better part of four years now doing everything they possibly can to throw monkey wrenches into any and every thing the President has done or said. Problem is, the MSM press is so solidly in their pockets that their actions get little attention. Anytime Kerry or his ilk open their mouth a string of total lies and misrepresentations issues forth. The bigger the lie, the better. They started this BS way back when they lost the House and Senate. One of their bunch would be on a talk show and they would turn to run-on lying. Don't ask the question that's been asked, just spout the latest five or six or more lies, knowing full well the host and the guest form the other side can't possible address all the lies and some are going to go unchallenged. It looks to me like they might finally be approaching the point of diminishing returns. One can only hope!

This from hypocrite Kerry who constantly attacks Bush for having "alienated our allies." Yet Kerry can smart off against a man who came to America to thank us and that's okay. I guess the only "allies" deserving of our respect according to Kerry are those that hate us and constantly poke a finger in our eye. What a loser.

John F*ckin' hasn't changed his anti-American stripes since 1971. He's the same radical he's always been who sees nothing good in our country and looks with disapproval on anything she does abroad that strengthens prosperity and freedom.

An analysis:
Remember when the RNC ended? There had been "knock their ___ in the dirt" speakers, who had the crowd on its feet, yelling " YES!" and giving each other "high Fives". The GW ended the Convention with a sort of word Battle Hymn of the Republic. Everyone streamed for home, ready to kick some butt and put Kerry 32 in the vote for POTUS.

What did Kerry do?

He held a Midnight Rally ( no one's up) in Nowhere, USA. Slavish reportes relayed to us what his message was: a bunch of whining, complaining, and hate. NO plan. NO Positive chord.

Even the L.A. Times (9/22) is more positive than sKerry, and that's saying something! At least, they waited until the 4th column of a 5 column article to attempt to contradict Allawi. And they printed the most charming photo of the Iraqi Prime Minister and our President -- it looks like -- holding hands. With Colin Powell in the background (from Reuters, if anyone cares to retrieve it).

I guess the sKerry campaign, since they can't win, is trying to lose REALLY BIG..!
