In the real world, poverty can only be combated by the povertyites themselves. All the money poured down the rat hole in the name of ending poverty, since LBJ began pouring it in, has just eroded rat hole into an abyss.

Look Who's Stalking


Remember all those angry speeches Bob Dole and Jack Kemp delivered about Bill Clinton in 1997? Or the anti-Reagan orations of Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro circa 1985? Neither do we, because they didn't happen. Last year's losers, however, lack the dignity their predecessors possessed.

"Kerry, Edwards Blast Bush Over Katrina" read an Associated Press headline yesterday, and one could be forgiven for wondering if Kedwards realize this is 2005 and not 2004. Here's a particularly rich line from the AP account:

In a blistering critique, Kerry said former Federal Emergency Management Agency Director Michael Brown was to Hurricane Katrina "what Paul Bremer is to peace in Iraq; what George Tenet is to 'slam dunk intelligence'; . . . what George Bush is to 'Mission Accomplished' and 'Wanted Dead or Alive.' "

How about "what John Kerry is to 'bring it on' "? Really, this is about as "blistering" as a glass of warm milk. Another AP story, meanwhile, reports that "Edwards is calling for a return of depression era job programs to rebuild the hurricane ravaged Gulf Coast."

Remember how when they were running for president, Kedwards argued that their plan would better prepare the nation for a natural disaster? Remember how Edwards, during his six years in the Senate, repeatedly introduced legislation reviving Depression-era job programs? Neither do we, because it didn't happen. Or maybe it did happen, but they certainly didn't emphasize it in their campaign, which centered on other issues:

John Kerry served in Vietnam.


Vietnam veterans are liars.


The war in Iraq was "the wrong war, in the wrong place, at the wrong time," and Kedwards were right to vote for it.


"Dick Cheney's daughter . . . is a lesbian."
This was the case for Kedwards. Amazingly, it was enough to attract more than 30 million votes, but they still lost--and they are evidently having great difficulty accepting that reality.

Do Kedwards--and, for that matter, much of the rest of today's Democratic Party--remind anyone else of a jilted boyfriend stalking his ex? (The ex, in this analogy, being the United States of America.) He hears that she is having a rough time with her new beau, so he seizes the opportunity to win her back, by badmouthing the beau and trumpeting his own virtues: How could she prefer him, I'm such a nice guy! But of course he isn't acting nice at all; his behavior is annoying, creepy, even menacing. Anyway, even if things don't work out with the new beau, there's no way she's going back to the ex, whom she ditched months ago for reasons that remain as sound as ever.

When you think about it this way, you realize why hate-harpy Cindy Sheehan is the perfect symbol of today's Democratic left. She spent the month of August literally stalking the president, and her various rantings on far-left Web sites reflect the same sort of narcissism and delusion that characterize someone in the grips of a romantic obsession.

Then again, Sheehan actually did lose someone she loved, whereas Kedwards only lost an election. They should follow the example of Mondale and Dole and take it like a man: get over it, move on and stop bothering the country that rejected them.

Klueless Kerry is simply trying to make himself relevant. He is so completely irrelevant when it comes to 2008, except in Massachusetts where he'll be running for reelection.

I am continuing to be amazed that anybody pays any mind at all to that imbecile.

"Kerry, testing the waters for a second presidential run"

Now you both know why I never let up,
despite being told "Get over it, kerry's done, move on."

Karl Rove knew to at least Thank Swift Boat Vets
because Rove knew they would be called again to serve
their country.

Rove Credits Swiftvets With 'Energizing' Bush Vote (Thank You Karl Rove!)

I was not a Swift Boat Vet
BUT I was there the same time as Hanoi Kerry
and my Destroyer, among other things,
resupplied Swift Boats in the mouth of the Mekong Delta.

Tests waters for presidential run

RUN being the key word, RUN KERRY RUN, to France preferrably!!

[Wally_Kalbacken]

C***!

[rlmorel]

I say-OH PLEASE RUN! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

LOL!!! What a LOSER-As long as any Vietnam Vets are alive, and most will be alive as long as him, he will never hold the presidency.

His presence just makes the Dems look like barking moonbats.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

We have to get angry, and organize around that

Yeah, Senator, get angry, you big skinny twerp.

For John Kerry to think that he even has a shot at the Dim nomination, much less the Presidency, is nothing less than dumb.

He's beyond stale. The Dims don't want him either. He's the only person in the country who doesn't know that.

Time to crap or get off the pot, Senator Kerry


Beldar notes that it's getting very, very close to the deadline for John Kerry to file a libel lawsuit against the people behind the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth for their book, "Unfit To Serve." After all, since a lot of people attribute at least part of the blame for Kerry's loss on their efforts, and Kerry and others say that their charges are "false" and "disproven," wouldn't it behoove the Senator to get it on the record that they lied to him? Hell, he could even cite his loss to Bush under damages.

I have to disagree with Beldar, though, about saying that Kerry is just letting this slip by, hoping it quietly fades away. After, Kerry's home state of Massachusetts has a three-year statute of limitations, giving him until 2007 to file his lawsuit. And judging by his own ongoing reluctance to release his full military service records, despite repeated promises to do so (including one on the air to Tim Russert several months ago), I think it's safe to say that among all his other flaws, Kerry is a world-class procrastinator.

Pity, though. Kerry was at least good for entertainment. And it'd be a refreshing change to have him actually have to "put up or shut up," instead of simply repeating over and over that something was "false" without ever actually having to show otherwise.

Nothing ever changes.

I am starting to believe that the only reason American leftists might speak negatively about guys like Lenin or Stalin is that they think their plans weren't grand enough.

This is so sad that this is the best that the Democrats can do. I want to cry for them, this is so pathetic. Does even one person on their side have any intellect, an ounce of modesty, or even some sense of decency? I would be willing to settle for just one of the above three!
