First, I’d like to congratulate Australia’s Prime Minister John Howard for winning an unprecedented fourth term; even though John Kerry’s sister Diana (at her brother’s direction) worked diligently against him. Well done, Mr. Howard! Despite the Kerry family’s obsessive attempt to unseat the Australian prime minister and overthrow his government (due to PM Howard’s unflinching support of President Bush’s and the US coalition of nations’ Iraq policies) PM Howard has won. The Kerry family has an unswerving history of working with both the enemies of the US and the far-left of other countries. This history began with John Kerry’s clandestine meetings with Communist North Vietnamese leaders during the Viet Nam war. He worked for the communists and against the United States of America. Apparently, Mr. Kerry’s penchant toward weakening (or outright castrating) the United States has not altered, from his early days.
Although the upcoming US presidential election is not completely concomitant with the Australian elections, I have to wonder whether or not it might indicate the beginnings of a trend. The world has become a much smaller place and elections in other US alliance countries may be beginning to have an influence on US elections. It appears that the Kerry family sees it that way. For some time, the leftists (AKA communists and socialists) have been working together, world-wide, to topple the governments of sovereign nations; working towards the establishment of a leftist-run world government. At least the Australian voters didn’t buy the leftist’s subterfuge. The Australians woke up to the attempted leftist takeover and voted accordingly. Considering their indefatigable efforts in Australia, the John Kerry family must take PM Howard’s victory as a loss to them. Could this John Kerry and Kerry family loss in Australia signal a loss for him in the upcoming US presidential election? Let’s look forward to it.
An interesting note to last night’s debate was when Kerry (in response to a question from an ‘undecided voter’) looked directly into the camera and unequivocally stated: “I'm pledging I will not raise taxes. I'm giving a tax cut to the people earning less than $200,000 a year.” Uh-huh. Sure he will…when pigs fly. MSNBC’s Tim Russert and leftist Tom Brokaw were appalled by Kerry’s comment. This was the same type of comment that brought down President George H.W. Bush’s run for a second term when he said “Read my lips. No new taxes”. President Bush 41 was unable to keep that promise and was, subsequently, defeated by Clinton. Tim Russert’s post-debate comments to Chris Matthews were "I never thought I'd see another 'Read my lips, no new taxes,' Chris. Never in my lifetime!" An equally incredulous Brokaw said “…John Kerry is now firmly committed to never raising taxes on anyone who makes less than $200,000, period." Even Kerry’s mainstream media pals are now saying he won’t be able to keep promise. Suffice it to say this was, yet, another Kerry ploy of ‘tell them [the public] anything to win. I’ll sort it out afterwards’.
Will the US voting public be able to see through Mr. Kerry’s pompous pretense and deceit, in the way the Australian voters saw through PM John Howard’s leftist competitor? Will US voters finally realize the truth of the strong and consistent leadership of President George W. Bush in opposition to the ever- vacillating ‘anything to win’ message of John Kerry? I only pray that we in the US are as intelligent as the Australians.

BUSH WINS BIG
Gahhh! My eyes! Susan Estrich is less frightening...
I agree, W couldn't exactly come out and SLAM those countries while trying to get them to jump into the fray...but he knew they were dirty enough to keep his distance...wait til the names of Americans involved comes out of the Oil for Food scandal - Rich and a few others, I bet...and maybe that was why the Bergler was rifling thru the archives...
W is too gracious to slam the former President, the rogue countries and he is certainly too easy on sKerry.
ooops, look what I just saw...

Exactly. Bush's "memoirs" should be interesting reading, if he ever writes them.
A tip of my hat to Australia for not tarring and feathering the woman- you showed admirable restraint.
Thanks!
I am so proud of Mr Howard, he will go down as one of Australia's greatest Prime Ministers, here is a pic of my wife and i with the great man himself.

try again

My wife and I decided to go to Australia on our next vacation.I have been there twice but she has never been. i promise to spend lots of cash!I'll be sure not to order a Fosters at the pub this time-Australians have a great sense of humor! They escorted me out of the bar and said 'Now try it again,mate-order a Victoria bitter or Tooheys this time'
Maybe, but a John Kerry loss will indeed be signaled by George Bush's win!
Kerry looked like a freak show when he stared into the camera and said that.
Two cheers for the Anglosphere!!!
Honestly, I see this as Australians, slightly Left of the US, as ratifying the Bush-Blair-Howard Doctrine.
Howard has been unambigiously in support of preemption and has stated publicly that he would use preemptive force in Indonesia or Malaysia if he needed to (resident Malaysian anti-semite PM Mohammad Mahathir threatened war if such a thing happened).
Think of Australia as the reverse of US politics: the US is 55% Right of Center or Right and 45% Left of Center or Left, while Australia is 55% Left of Center or Left and 45% Right of Center or Right.
I'm betting the Aussies would kick butt if that happened.
One thing this does is it lets the Mikey Moore crowd know that there are people of resolution out there who do not back down when they make a stand on principle.
I am sure this was a shock to many liberals who thought it would be a given that anyone who stood with this President would be driven from office. But looking at the way things are starting to break, this will be the first shock in a series of many to come!
The axis of evil includes the democrats and their unholey alliance with al qaeda.
