Problem is, Kerry won't go quietly into the night. He intends to remain a player. His statement this afternoon, well, anything he says, is self serving. He's trying to carve out a place for himself at the RAT power table. Let's face it, he's TerAYsa's lapdog, he has no power at all in that relationship. The presidency was his shot at being bigger than she is. God help us, if Hill gets in in '08, Kerry will be right there with his hand up, wanting to be Sec. of Defense or State. He remains dangerous, and the problem is what to do about it. If this were GW or some other prominent republican, what do we think the MSM would do? Hmmm? They'd drive a stake through his heart. That's why they call politics a blood sport.
Senator Tower from Texas nominated for Sec. of Defense some years back, maybe under Reagan...anyway, the RATs screamed from the rooftops some nonsense, drinking or womanizing or both, and his career was kaput. Tower was hounded from office and the country missed his military expertise sorely. The RATs didn't care. What we have here is an interesting reversal, sort of. Kerry is a snake, just remember not to turn your back on him.
Now is the time for the Swifty's to continue with all of our support. You are very right. He nor the Dems of his like will go quietly. I heard today on T.V. that Dobbs does not want the minority leadership? Guess who that will be--the Beast from Hell--Hillary. They are going to set her up real nicely. I do think Kerry went further than the Dems expected. I think they really did want him to lose. His previous anti-war actions and his position are what really worry me. His access to classified information is very important. And he has proven himself to be a traitor.
Media started right in on Bush after his speech today and coddled poor gracious Kerry today. Gracious my butt--more of his self-serving crap and I agree he is wanting to become a respected Senior Senator. I say Ted Kennedy is enough--I liked the bumper sticker I saw in some thread right her on FR. Ted Kennedy's Car Killed More People Than My Gun.
We have now cleaned up the White House and it is time to clean up Congress. How do we do that when they keep getting elected but to prove to those who elect them that their party is on the Wrong Track, at the Wrong Time for the Wrong Reason.
