So I guess Kerry is going to get really fat, grow a beard and start yelling in a gravelly voice. When Hillary! loses in 2008, I'm sure she'll do the same -- it seems to be tradition.

I thought Hitlery already WAS fat and had a beard?????

Kerry just doesn't give up, does he?
I hope the Republicans are armed to the teeth with Kerry's own words from the past relating to SoDammed.
If he's banking on people having forgotten, he's in for a big surprise.

I want text books to include these attacks of personal destruction along any references to McCarthyism.

The "4th branch of Government", the press has been guilty of Zogbyism, making it up to tear down their political enemy. They share a lot in common with the Communists like Joseph Stalin.

I'm trying to figure out why the rats are having Ketchup Boy carry the ball on this one knowing that it just looks like sour grapes.

Maybe the dems are letting Kerry do this, because, A. they know it won't go anywhere and none of them wants it on their resume...or B. Kerry has threatened them...

Remember, when Sen. Mark Dayton of Minnesota gave a speech in Minnesota, announcing Hillary Clinton as the "next POTUS", Kerry got so mad, that he found Dayton on the Senate floor and told him that he didn't appreciate him saying the Hillary is next POTUS, because Kerry thinks he is still the front runner...He really got mad...

and now Mark Dayton has announced he isn't running again next time!!!

Kerry continues to demonstrate the treasonous irrelevance of the socialists

Bingo.

And these people wonder why they are not the majority in this country.  I'll give 'em a little hint:  Because we are not traitorous scum like you people are.

Does the term 'sacrificial lamb' mean anything?

The dems cannot win with Kerry and know it, so let him drag out the BS and get hung with it.  Anything that sticks will be transfered over to Hildy to run with.

They could be going for an "energizing" the base moment. Of course, their base is comprised of some true loons.

It could work. There are some big domestic problems. I just think that choosing Kerry to act like Daniel Webster in the Senate is just one huge poop.

Maybe the democrats are trying to become the Whig party. It couldn't hurt at this time. Not much will help!

I'm thinking that HRC is just standing back and letting a number of her primary opponents fall on their swords.

1) H. Reid looked like the partisan jerk he is on judges. She stayed more or less quiet and watched him jump on the landmine.

2) H. Dean has looked like an idiot as the DNC Chair. She is letting this play out so that she can get rid of him and the Dem. Party Internet nutniks with one fell swoop. Expect her to schedule a quiet meeting between herself, G. Soros, A. Lewis and S. Bing. After that, the $$$ will leave BowelMoveOn.org.

3) Now J Fing K is pulling this trolladytic stunt. Her field of potential opponents is narrowing.

HRC could very well have only John Deadwards, and maybe Congressman Ford between her and the nomination.

I can't believe that Lurch thinks playing to these DU dummies is going to get him into the white house in 2008. Maybe he's lost his mind. I guess that's the only audience he's got left!

Definition of an idiot:  Find something that does not work and keep repeating it, hoping for different results.

What a maroon.

The memo states that George Bush "was determined" to attack Iraq long before going to Congress with the matter,

What a nothing comment. Are we to believe Bush should have been thinking "Gee, wonder what's up with Iraq? I'll ask Congress"?

The "disrespect for religion" will be one element in the "storyline" they will put together. It's laughable just typing that.

"Republicans plan to issue a response to Senator Kerry by using his own words against him, a tactic used in the 2004 Election. Where Sen. Kerry was quoted as saying the war was justified and Saddam Hussein needed to be removed."

By all means, let me help! :)

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998

"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998

"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." --Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." --Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by: -- Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." -- Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by: -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and th! e means of delivering them." -- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." -- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002

"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002

"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" -- Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." -- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23, 2003
