233 members of Congress have visited the troops in Iraq so far.

One hundred ninety-one were House members:
121 Republicans, and 70 Democrats.
Forty-two were senators: 24 Republicans and 18 Dems.
Eight senators have made two trips, and one has made three.

Neither Kerry nor Edwards has taken time away from manicures, hairstyling appointments, and campaign stops
to talk to the men and women who are putting their lives on the line in Iraq
and to see the facts on the ground.

That's leadership for you.

What everyone misses in these discussions is that the 45 or so percent of America that voted for Clinton and will probably vote for JFK2 WANTS to believe the distortions and WILL accept them as writ merely because of that fact.

It's pretty clear in the "VRWC"/"Smears"/"forged but accurate" defense that automatically springs forth against each and every finding or negative comment. The "truth" is only what is perceived as truth and the other side, be they socialists, slackers, or a self defined elite, will only perceive truth as they WANT to perceive it.

Just like Slick William before him and Hitlery who will follow, Kerry's lies are only meaningful to those who already intend to vote against him.

Scary ain't it.

These two make the fictional M.A.S.H. character Major Charles Emerson Winchester III, look like John Wayne.

They don't have to go. According to them everyone knows Iraq is a mess, because they can see it on TV.

I see a good commercial in the making:

Kerry: "Iraq is a quagmire"...

First person who's actually been there tells first success story.

Kerry: "you can see it on TV"

Another person tells of another success.

Kerry: "we're doomed"

Recording of Iraqi Interim President (Prime minister, I can't remember) from his speech in front of congress, tabulating successes.

Voice over: "Who would you believe, Senator Kerry who's never been to Iraq or these people who have?"

In the Kerry supporters own words about the Swift Boat Vets

"They weren't there. They have no room to talk!"

Oh, great. Throw that into the commercial as well.
