They should be ashamed of themselves.

AIDS policy

I guess that $15 billion spent for AIDS in Africa isn't enough for liberals.

[Ragirl]

Kerry is gonna love this and use it to his advantage.

Ooooo.. former Clinton appointees speaking out against Bush...
Who woulda thunk it?

Welcome to FR.

Why didn't the article at Newsweek list the 26 people? Would be nice to know who they are.

He said the group was disillusioned by Bush's handling of the war in Iraq and a list of other subjects, including the Middle East, environmental conservation, AIDS policy, ethnic and religious conflict and weapons proliferation.

This sounds like a jumble of leftist crap to me. I think if they make their motivation clear when they issue the statement, most people who hear about it will see right through it.

You can bet your last dollar that that slime McAuliffe is behind this. No matter though, this will all be taken out by Clinton and his ilk, who want no part in a BUSH defeat this fall.

It's great when the shanty neighbors get to brawling; all we have to do is sit and enjoy the riff-raff kill each other off.

[Joe_October]

President Bush did in 1 year what we failed to do in 50 years sucking (very generously) off the public teat. Losers.

Yea, I wonder why they would be upset. Get real jobs.

Did Newsday give the Swiftboat Veterans Against Kerry equal time??

[jnarcus]

Ah these are the same guys who thought that Ronald Reagan was pyschotic for calling the Soviet Union the evil empire...It gets tiring and oh soooo boring to hear the rabble howl

Fortunately for Jean sKerry active duty officers can't make political endorsements...

[Jewels1091]

Bet the press covers this alot more than they did with the Swift Boat crews....

[NYCVirago]

So some striped-pants state department workers don't like Bush. Stop the presses!

[beckett]

A lot depends on who's on the list. If it's just your standard sniveling Demos, no biggie. But if some credible Republicans sign the statement, their defection could dog Bush.

[dc-zoo]

Not to worry.. its just Hoar and his Hoar-mongers.

[I still care]

When Kerry's Vietnam compatriots formed a group and had a press conference on how they felt he was unfit to lead the country, the news agencies didn't cover it all. They totally ignored the press conference.

No bias here.

Your sure it's not the UN blue helmets...

Now they have something to counter the fact that nearly all of Kerry's Military Commanders came out against him being elected President.
