John Kerry is back in the Senate, making clear that his presidential aspirations remain intact. Rather than give Condi Rice a pass, he joined Barbara Boxer in making an ideological show out of the secretary of state's confirmation hearings. His Democratic Party colleagues got to watch as the duo did their number on the first African-American woman to be nominated for secretary of state quite a display of insensitivity for a party that prides itself as the champion of America's minorities.
But that wasn't the point. The point was to be once again in President Bush's face. Unwilling to admit that the torch had been passed to a new generation of conservatives, a key point of the president's inaugural address, Kerry and Boxer continued the litany of complaints about wrong war, wrong time, wrong place, with the added chorus of wrong advice.

Could John Kerry really think that he might be nominated in '08 for a second try for the White House? My guess is that he does. Kerry does not appear to accept the loss of the election as any kind of a rebuke. The Swift Boat controversy? As far as Kerry is concerned the problem was not that the American public rejected his ersatz war-hero routine or his radical anti-war protesting activity. No. The problem was that his campaign staff did not respond quickly enough to the Swift Boat attack.
Having been on the receiving end, the Kerry response appeared fast enough at the time. Doesn't anyone in the mainstream media remember the band of lawyers Kerry dispatched to ask Regnery to withdraw "Unfit for Command" from the bookstores? How about the legal challenges delivered to any TV station bold enough to entertain running the Swift Boat TV commercials. Then there was Max Cleland showing up in Crawford, Texas, with a letter asking President Bush to condemn the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth. Looked like a pretty quick response at the time.
Why didn't Kerry just answer the charges in "Unfit for Command"? Simple. He didn't have any answers.
How about Christmas in Cambodia? Or his 1971 testimony to the Fulbright Committee where he called the 2.5 million Americans who fought honorably in Vietnam baby killers and war criminals? How about the meetings in Paris with Madame Binh, the Viet Cong's chief negotiator to the Paris Peace Conference while he was yet in the Naval Reserves? No answer. Nor was Standard Form 180 ever signed. Kerry's military records are still his private secret. Yet according to Kerry and Boxer, Condi Rice was the liar.
Pretty soon, even Hillary Clinton is going to find herself in a Democratic Party that has no center. A Democratic Party without a viable center will never be able to elect a president. The way the Democratic Party is moving to the left, the United States may be on the verge of having our first European-style national socialist party.
I do plan to move to Massachusetts to run for the Senate against John Kerry in '08. Yes, I want to keep the challenge of "Unfit for Command" alive, just in case Kerry is serious about another run for the presidency.
But, even more important, I think John Kerry will be vulnerable in Massachusetts. The Bay State may well be ripe for a strong conservative challenge. The Democratic Party should not count the current Blue States as a secure enclave. Get out the map of Massachusetts and look at how much red there is. Take Boston out of the equation and the state has real possibilities even now for inclusion in the Red State category.
During the Democratic National Convention, I was at the Red Sox game where John Kerry threw out the first pitch (bouncing the ball to home plate in a pretty pathetic throw for a guy who prides himself at looking good in expensive athletic settings). There was a lot of booing at Fenway Park that summer day.
Maybe the crowd at Harvard Square is ready for the extreme socialist direction the Democratic Party is steering in, but the Boston Red Sox fans are not likely to be entertained for long by bad-pitching politicians who hold up the start of an important baseball game with the Yankees for irrelevant political grandstanding.
John Kerry thought the Red Sox winning the Pennant in 2004 was a good omen for him. It wasn't. .I've been going to Red Sox games at Fenway Park since the 1950s. The crowd is decidedly Red State they don't call them the "Red" Sox for nothing.

Mr. Corsi, I salute you! I love his strategy. Even if he doesn't win, his message (the truth about Traitor John Kerry) continues to get out there.
statistics by MA county in 2004....

some of the voting in many areas was very close.
The fact that he didn't even see this attack coming after having debated John O'Neill on Dick Cavett 30 years ago -- and that he didn't go into the election with a plan to neutralize such a potential attack -- is all the proof needed that Kerry has neither the vision nor the executive team building skills to ever be President.
If he couldn't handle the SBVT and their lousy $500,000 spend, how in the world would he be capable of handling the Islamic Jihadists and the Chinese?
They also falsely believed that the footage of Kerry debating O'Neill would not be available to the president's campaign.
The president's campaign never had to use the footage. CSPIN played that debate over and over and over....ad infinitum.
Kerry could NOT refute with any credibility any of their ads because the debates told the story so well.
Of course he does. He thinks he lost because of vote fraud in Ohio. He just doesn't get it.
I disagree -- he had all the answers. He just knew that honest answers would have cost him the election and that he would have been caught if he tried using dishonest ones. A classic lose-lose situation.
If it wasnt for John Kerry being born with a silver spoon in his mouth and marrying into more money , Kerry would be out performing work he is more qualified for. Riding the back step of a garbage truck.
I make two political contributions each year. Ron Paul and the NRA. Next year, I might make three...
Don't forget that sKerry has a plan...er an idea...no a plan... or maybe, ah forget it.
Does anyone have an e-mail address to write Corsi? I'm in north central Mass and know that he'd get support here. During the last election there were many more Bush/Cheney signs than there were Kerry/Edwards. I'm proud to say, my little town on the New Hampshire border was overwhelmingly BUSH. I'd like to let Corsi know that he's got support and encouragement in the rural areas.
Well, not a very good plan, was it? Not very good strategery at all. That miscalculation alone proves that the guy doesn't have enough executive ability or experience to run a hot dog stand as a sole proprietor.
Quite apart from his leftist political ideas, Kerry is completely inept and unqualified to be president of anything, let alone my beloved US of A.

I have a feeling the Form 180 without the benefit of a signature. Will be blamed on the Republicans. In addition I expect some amazing revelation will permanently end Howard Dean's political career. (If he is indeed not the Clinton's pick for DNC chair)
I believe that is it exactly. And they did their best to supress the truth. That it did not work has been one of the happiest moments of my life.
