He's a worldbeater, all right (Mark Steyn beats up on the Dems!)

You can parade all the pundits and so called experts you want and it doesn't change the facts of who that person is and the actions he has taken in the past.

Our country needs more voters like you!

Thanks for posting this article.

They way that Steyn puts this is brilliant. The MSM doesn't understand how so many can see through the spin and rhetoric. The MSM is losing its ability to influence and they are simply stunned.

Could it be that the internet has exposed the party of the "Artful Dodger"?

I had heard the senator's comments regarding exit strategy and wondered if the senator had an exit strategy for Mary Jo Kopechne.

Ouch! L0L

I'm not a intellectual elite but I know when someone's past contradicts their statements about the future. You can parade all the pundits and so called experts you want and it doesn't change the facts of who that person is and the actions he has taken in the past.

I agree with you completely -- and all Kerry's political/media supporters knew exactly where he stood, too.

Joyce Smith understood that. Von Drehle seems vaguely resentful that she wasn't dumb enough to fall for the spin cooked up by Kerry's hairsplitters and enthusiastically promoted by his media cheerleaders.

It's not bad enough that he lies, but he plays such a figure of outraged innocence when he's actually called on it -- say, by the Swift Vets!

And remember slick willie's exit strategy for Bosnia......they'll be home by Christmas.

He meant the following Christmas, not the Christmas ten years later.

But he's a dem so it doesn't count.

[RetroWarrior]

Sounds like Korea, eh? "They'll be home by Christmas!"

All staff members must have been instructed not to hang up or be rude.

Sometimes there is stunned silence or some lame remark. But I always start the conversation letting them think I'm in agreement and then.......I let them know what I really think.

Last week when I called Byrd to let them know what I think of his blocking Dr. Rice the gal wanted me to give her my name. I gave her my name but said I would be very foolish to give my address to someone in the KKK.

Steyn's example of Joyce Smith was brilliant.

[Grampa Dave]

This is one of Steyn's best!

Thanks for posting it.

Even "Eve Of Destruction," one notes, is a 40-year-old hippie dirge

But at least Barry McGuire, who wrote it, accepted Jesus and got his life turned around.

Any hint that anyone at the Village Voice (or in the Donk party, for that matter) has been within a parsec of a clue in the last thirty years?

there's something silly and immature about a party that, from Kerry to Boxer to Byrd, can't get beyond spin, grandstanding and debater's points

The Rats are maroons. They can't get past their petty partisan politics because they're socialists/communists with an agenda to take down this country.

[BibChr]

Thanks for posting the whole essay. Not one of Steyn's best but, as always, worth a read.

Yes, it was. Steyn IS brilliant ... if only he had a larger audience!

[Cultural Jihad]

Mark Steyn gets it right. The Democrats are running on empty.

Their "reality gas tank" is no emptier than many UberKonservativs who are just as equally deluded concerning the issues of immigration in the U.S. and Islam abroad.

[Rummyfan]

The Democrats' big phrase is "exit strategy." Time and again, their senators demanded that Rice tell 'em what the "exit strategy" for Iraq was. The correct answer is: There isn't one, and there shouldn't be one, and it's a dumb expression.

Thank you Mark Steyn. Would someone please tell the Dims this?

[Rummyfan]

Yes! How come the opposition doesn't rant about the exit strategy from Japan, Germany, and the Clinton-led effort into Bosnia?

[basque]

Why do the libs have their knickers in a knot? W was simply echoing The Declaration of Independence and the Democrats Wilson and FDR.

[blanknoone]

I love Steyn's turning of exit strategy back on to the Dems. The shots about Mary Jo Kopechne's exit strategy are about as good a political ding as the death of innocent and unfulfilled justice can be...the Bosnia 'exit strategy' is a legitimate point of comparison to highlight their hypocrisy, but asking about the exit strategy for the millions of illegal aliens truly highlights how vacant the D party has become.
