Just when I thought no one Could EVER be worse than algore someone presents a new improved traitorous Imbecile.

All skerry needs is a black top hat and a cut away coat, black ofcourse. That should complete the image

[Paleo Conservative]

I'm not in favour of having Senator Kerry put on trial and executed

Why not?

[snooker]

Now if we can only recruit some sucker countries for the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place, WE can go home.

Sounds like a winner to me. Hey Jacques, you in???

Seems to be something about that 1960s Surrendernik mentality that quagmires ones brain.

The Edwards choice was foolish, he was losing even in his home state. Who was behind that choice, Hillary?
The ones who made sense...Gephardt, Graham, even Clark, or a governor of a state.

Send out Your arrows and confuse them.


I am so worried about this election, it's too easy!

[pabianice]

Great Steyn, as usual. He has a Bush sweep of 44 states forecast.

Senators traditionally make lousy presidential candidates. But putting two senators on the ticket is un believable.

[tkathy]

What awesome writing.

[Grampa Dave]

moi Kerri got another sharp stick in his crooked eye this morning.

Former Oregon Gov/Senator, Mark Hatfield, a real peacenik, had an oped published in the very liberal Oregonian. Mr Hatfield defends GW, puts down Kerry and says that he will vote for GW. That is the equivalent of hell freezing over.

Mark O. Hatfield: For me, choice for president is clear: Bush
The Oregonian ^ | 9/23/04

As a young Navy officer in World War II, I was one of the first Americans to see Hiroshima after the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. That experience lives with me today, and it helped to shape the view I held during my public service career: a view that war is wrong in nearly every circumstance.
As Oregon's governor, I was the only governor in the nation who refused to sign a statement supporting President Johnson's Vietnam War policy.

As a senator, I joined with Sen. George McGovern in an unsuccessful effort to end that war. I was the only senator who voted against both the Democrat and Republican resolutions authorizing the use of force in the 1991 Gulf War.

In my final years in the Senate, I opposed President Clinton's decision to send American troops to Bosnia.

During my 30 years in the Senate, I never once voted in favor of a military appropriations bill.

I know that this record will cause many to wonder why I am such a strong supporter of President Bush and his policy in Iraq. My support is based on the fact that our world changed on Sept. 11, 2001, a day on which we lost more American lives than we did in the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I know from my service in the Senate that Saddam Hussein was an active supporter of terrorism. He used weapons of mass destruction on innocent people and left no doubt that he would do so again. It was crucial to the cause of world peace that he be removed from power.

Having seen atrocious loss in World War II, I understand the devastation of armed conflict. We have paid dearly with American and Iraqi lives for our commitment, but we cannot afford the alternative. Nor can we afford a president who puts a wet finger in the air and turns over his decisions to pollsters.

President Bush has indeed taken heat for his resolve in pursuing the war on terrorism and efforts in Iraq. His steadfastness and resolve in the face of his critics are deserving of praise.

As terrorists continue to plot against our country and our interests, the American people must choose between action and inaction, between security and insecurity.

I believe the choice is clear. I will proudly cast my vote for President George W. Bush.

Mark O. Hatfield served as a Republican U.S. senator from Oregon from 1967 to 1997.

"Teresa Heinz Kerry dismisses her husband’s critics as ‘idiots’ and ‘scumbags’"

As hubby correctly pointed out, there is something inparticulary ugle about a woman using the word "scumbag".

[Mase]

Steyn is one of the best ever! He slays Kerry/Edwards so thoroughly he leaves you wondering how anyone could vote for those hammerheads. I renewed my subscription to NR just to read his article every month (and Rob Long).

[hinckley buzzard]

Hatfield's endorsement ought to nail the door shut against Kerry in Oregon.

[ScaniaBoy]

In that sense, Andrew Sullivan is a non-partisan hack: he’s adopted the pose of a sagacious analyst judiciously weighing the pros and cons of two approaches to the war on terror. But it’s total piffle: one party is just not interested in engaging with the issue.

I wonder how long it will take Andrew Sullivan to recover from that one.

Another great Steyn piece.

The doomed defeatist John Kerry is a loser and a bore, says Mark Steyn.... AND AN ASS! DONKEY THAT IS!

[investigateworld]

The news (MSM) is giving President Bush high marks for his support by women. As my dimocratic friend muttered when it was revealed that the Russian children had been murdered by the Islamic freedom fighters; "it's all over for Kerry now"
Nothing in this world resonates between women than the killing of a child. The "Breck Boy", VP candidate, probably understands women better than any other male on earth also knows this, and has a fortune to prove it. He'll slide away quietly (even Jay Leno has noticed this) to preserve his future income. When Kerry goes down to his defeat, the DNC and their allies will be looking for a scapegoat. Heaven help who ever they settle on.
I'll even go out on a limb and predict that DU types even start stories that President Bush requested Putin to "blotch" the rescue operation. The the bottom line is no sane person would trust a flip-flopper like Kerry with our nation's future. Of course there will be the last minute counter attacks on President Bush, each one more shrill than the previous, but it's "game, set and match"
Am I suggesting we kick back and enjoy the show? Not for a nanosec. I for one have even returned to the work force to hustle bucks for the Swiftys and will do so till Nov. 3.
Never forget the power of prayer.
