I can't even believe that happened.
Irrelevant.
Firhouses are locally funded, not federally funded.
One has nothing to do with the other.
If you consider the "dirty nuke" a WMD, then yes, there was and is tons and tons of the stuff captured in the opening days and then hardly mentioned again by anybody.
Kerry said, "I understand what the President is talking about, because I know what it means to lose people in combat. And the question, is it worth the cost, reminds me of my own thinking when I came back from fighting in that war. And it reminds me that it is vital for us not to confuse the war, ever, with the warriors. That happened before."
Question: How does he "know what it means to lose people in combat?" When did that happen?
Also - How does "it is vital for us not to confuse the war, ever, with the warriors" jive with his statements that, "They personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads ... randomly shot at civilians ...... cut off limbs, blown up bodies ... razed villages in a fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan ... crimes committed on a day-to-day basis ... ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam ..."
firehouses...firemen and cops were being laid off because of the Clinton recession where cities and towns were in the red...? That's Bush's fault, too.../s
It doesn't matter that the subway was not shutdown, it should have been shut down and it was Bush's fault.
Let me ask you a question:
When was the last time John Kerry rode a subway? Isn't that what regular folks do?
yes--he was so wrong on so many things, but were they pointed out? i didn't they were... i came away so frustrated because he got away with so much... we know he was lying, but what about the "typical" person who came home from work, flipped on the television and watched?
'When was the last time John Kerry rode a subway? Isn't that what regular folks do?'
Good question! Let's ask HOWIE CARR! He can run a segment and ask anyone to call in and tell if they have EVER seen 'Live Shot' on the subway.
For those who don't know why he has been called this for 30 years:

NewsweekAug. 2 issue - John Kerry has never fit in easily. When NEWSWEEK asked about 30 of his 90-odd classmates at St. Paul's School to name his friends, they were stumped. Most confessed, after suggesting several different names, that they weren't quite sure whom Kerry hung out with. At Yale, Kerry always seemed to be on the move, going to meetings, changing clothes, never in one place long enough to really reveal himself.
In the tribal world of Massachusetts pols, Kerry was routinely called a "preppy stiff" and "Live Shot" (for hogging the cameras). In the clubby Senate cloakroom, Kerry made an easy target. Late one Friday in 2002, as the senators were getting ready to leave town, several colleagues began razzing Kerry about his country-squire clothes, his pressed corduroys and tweed jacket. Sen. Joe Biden of Delaware appeared wearing the same weekend outfit. "Why me?" protested Kerry. "Look at Biden! He's dressed the same way I am." "Yes, but your clothes cost four times as much," one of his tormentors remarked. About the only group that seems to accept Kerry is the fraternity of men who have been shot at in war, and even a few of them had trouble accepting his transformation into an antiwar leader.
In a recent interview with NEWSWEEK, Kerry protested that he's not really distant or remote. "There's nobody who travels with me on the bus or in this campaign who thinks that," he said. But then, in an earnest and slightly imploring manner, he went on to explain why he may have given off the impression of "brashness." In the interview, his manner was not stiff or lordly; if anything, he seemed humble, even vulnerable. Even so, his small, dark, deep-set eyes flashed reproachfully, as if to ask, why, after all his years of honorable public service, did he have to explain why he was unpopular in high school or is still the butt of jokes?...
