They are not the only ones that don't want Kerry to win.

It seems folks in the FBI have seen signs that indicate Kerry will star screwing with them and other feds.

"The news media – sometimes I felt like I had as much to fear from them as I did the Iraqis," he complained.

Says it all...

Kerry is running his entire campaign based on Iraq. If the soldiers in Iraq were allowed to pick the next commander in chief, which one would they choose?

The Iraq war vet said he fears that most of the news coverage is being skewed to make the mission look like a failure in order to give the Kerry campaign a boost.

The Achille's heel of America's military power is that the Liberal media will do everything in it's power to demoralize the American Home Front in order to advance their own political agenda.

This is a different story from the UCLA Bruins article last night where a Marine reserve was planning to vote for Kerry. I knew that was a weird article.

I always say...we have met the enemy and it's the U.S. press! What a shame that our own soldiers know exactly what the vast majority of the press is up to. Vietnam emboldened the press. They think they are in charge. The press also hates the military. That's a fact. Of course the military is what keeps their first amendment rights alive.
Good luck to all our troops and to their families. Let's elect George W Bush so there will be one thing they won't have to worry about.

In defense of reporting bad news:

Whether in Iraq or Kentucky, the fact that what was supposed to happen did in fact happen is not NEWS. If a family that needed food got food, that is not a news story - unless the occurrence was so rare that it stood out. The fact that electricity was on for a part of the day is not a news story. The fact that kids learned in school without incident is not a news story.

However, when something happens that isn't supposed to happen - a car full of explosives goes up in front of a police station - that is a news story.

Nothing going wrong is not a news story. "Today in Iraq, people ate food, kids went to school, and electricity was on. Film at 11."

I don`t get it...Why wouldn`t you want to serve under this guy?

John Kerry is running for President..And he wants you to know....

he is well balanced...

 

he fears no obstacle..

 

he shows power in style....

 

he is manly....

 

..uhhhh...well sort of manly....

 

But at least he can turn orange on command.

 

Just like the Oompa Loompas!

 

Plus he likes Orange bowling. Don`t you do too?

 

And he is racially sensitive....

 

And he is intimidated by steelworkers (as we all are).

 

Plus he can step on the US flag while speaking about why he loves the flag...

 

But he is reporting for Duty!

 

And he gets soccer balls stuck to his forehead from the botox leaking out.......

 

Oh yes, and he is reporting for duty......

 

And he`s afraid of getting hit in the face by a football

 

Ouch I say!

 

And he knows how to cut in line and step over ropes for a photo op...

 

And he can imitate a monkey....

 

And he also has a cool finger that has mutated freakishly long from constant use pointing blame at other people..

 

So here he comes...

 

THE BIGGEST FREGGIN` DORK TO EVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT!

JOHN `EFFEN KERRY!!

"Mama! Wawa! Goo goo! Mama! Wawa!"

 

Vote Kerry this election day and support his fulltime hobby.

They're not the only ones terrified of a Kerry presidency; I'm terrified of it, too!

That's because you do. Oh not (most of) the embeds, but rather the perfumed princes in their offices in New York, Washington, LA and of course Atlanta. Guys like Dan Blather, Ted Kopple and others. One of them, I forget which, stated on a PBS round table in '76 or '77 that he would report detailed tactical and/or strategic plans of American forces, even though it would mean losing the element of surprise and result in many more American (or allied) casualties. He stated that he was a reporter first, an American second. Wish I could remember which MSM traitor that was, maybe Rather or Donaldson, but I do remember watching him say it.

I'll never forget the Army Ranger I met this summer after he came off the plane from Iraq. He was talking to me and another gentleman in the airport coffee shop. We thanked him for his service. The other guy (I would guess he was a vet) asked him how things were going over there. He said, very seriously, things are going great. Don't believe the media, they have it all wrong.

I'll never forget the look in his face as he said that.
