Hey Kerry sit down and shut-up.... FOP
Cuff him, Danno!
well this is a blockbuster. the MSM should be all over this one.
</sarcasm>
AWESOME! I wonder (yeah right) if this will get any MSM play!
Let's all immigrate to New Zealand!
They should. But as your /sarcasm tag indicates, they won't.
Kerry's vaunted record with the police is about as accurate as his Boston Marathon times.
Anyone have a MSM e-mail list to send this info to?
You cannot "immigrate" TO anywhere.
WHy don't they get some news coverage?
Calling Sean Hannity!
Calling Rush Limbaugh!
O'Reilly - you need not apply.
Well that's what you call an ole fashion B**ch Slap!
Sorry, My wife is a nurse, a highly sought after profession these days, and New Zealand has almost as bad a shortage of them as we do! HAH HAH
I guess I could collect alumimum cans on the sides of their highways, oh wait, they probibily are do not treat their country the way most here treat ours. I can chase sheep! Oh maybe not that either! I have a plan! I do not have the details of my plan, BUT I HAVE A PLAN dambit!

Police Call on Kerry to Stop Misrepresenting Their Support
10/14/2004 6:34:00 PM
To: State Desk
Contact: Chris Granberg of the Fraternal Order of Police,
202-547-8189
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14 /U.S. Newswire/
Today Chuck Canterbury, the President of the nation's largest police labor organization, called on John Kerry to stop making misleading statements regarding his support from the law enforcement community. Both on the campaign trail and in Wednesday night's debate in Tempe, AZ, Senator Kerry has alluded that he has the support of the majority of these brave men and women.
"As the elected leader of the largest organization representing America's Federal, State and local law enforcement officers, I believe it's important to point out yet again that we do not support his candidacy for President," Canterbury said. "And to be perfectly frank, the groups which do support him actually share the same membership rolls and, taken together, probably comprise less than one-quarter of our nation's police officers."
Canterbury further noted that unlike the organizations which Senator Kerry touts, F.O.P. members as a whole decided that the Fraternal Order of Police would endorse the reelection of President George W. Bush. They based their decision, he said, on the record of the Bush Administration in supporting America's first responders-including helping to secure passage earlier this year of H.R. 218, the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, the organization's top legislative priority. Bush also successfully fought to greatly enhance the benefits for the families of officers killed in the line of duty.
"While Kerry was flying around the country campaigning and leaving the actual work of the nation to his colleagues in the Senate, the President was out there working on our behalf," Canterbury said. "Senators Kerry and Edwards have missed so many crucial votes this Congress that I was beginning to believe there were only 98 members of the U.S. Senate."
Canterbury also said it was the height of irony that Kerry would use his position on the reauthorization of the assault weapons ban as a reflection of his support from police.
"First, if a police officer is killed by an AK-47, Kerry would oppose the death penalty for the killer," Canterbury said. "In addition, where was he when this issue was being discussed in the 108th Congress? Where was he when we were working to pass H.R. 218? When it came time to help push for final passage of legislation important to law enforcement, Senator Kerry was regrettably A.W.O.L."
"Given the facts, I would greatly appreciate it if Senator Kerry would refrain from making similar whimsical assertions regarding his support from the law enforcement community," Canterbury said. "The real majority of my fellow officers are standing behind President Bush, because he has been there for us."
The Fraternal Order of Police is the nation's largest law enforcement labor organization, with more than 318,000 members.

This J FRAUD K guy is really pissin me off.......
Only P'O'D Rocker? I am way beyond that!
Hey, KERRY....nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah, NYAAAAAAA, NYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Where is Kerry's integrity? His mother asked him about it, the SwiftVets couldn't find it and now the police are looking for it.
The big losers in this campaign IMHO is going to be the media and their outright bias for Kerry and all Democrats! Their credibility is shot!
Finally, a union that represents the views of the rank and file. Although it must be hard for the Kerry campaign to believe, there are actually some unions hierarchies that aren't packed with marxists willing to do the bidding of the dem. party while selling out the rank and file.
