WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen.

Any Democrat that puts kerry on their ticket in '08 will have my eternal gratitude. At least the race would be entertaining.

I'd love the possibility of another drunken midnight rant. Mighty Mouse theme would return. the Unforgettable Oompa Loompa photos plastered everywhere.

Kerry's an idiot. But, there are a number of that species in Congress these days. Too many actually.

Just tell the Dem side of the aisle it's another civil rights act. They'll all join in.

"In doing so, Kerry just announced that he's running for President in 2008."

That was a given. He's already been quoted some time ago (in ABC's The Note) as saying the '08 "['rat] nomination is mine". His arrogance will make for lots of fun in the 'rat primaries.

That said, this is indeed for moonbat support. Kerry knows it ain't going anywhere, save for the chatter and face time...

Some of the Red State Dems wont go along with the Filibuster and I doubt Liberman will.

Maybe at first but they will threaten to pull DNC support and he'll shut up and swallow. He's a whore with delusions of principles.

If Frist had any, he'd let Kerry filibuster --- but make Kerry do a real filibuster, not one of the new faux filibusters.

Kerry would last a couple of hours, at most, before his speaking bores himself to sleep.

So good to see that pansy Kerry throwing a football pic again. I actually made an anti Kerry-Edwards campaign flyer out of it in the summer of '04 and passed it around where I live. It was a great hit.

As usual he is not in senate.

We...Will...Clean...Your...Clock"?


An old farmer came in to my office this afternoon, told me he had voted democrat for over 54 years. He said that party has gone to the loonies and he can not be a part of such nutty behavior. He said he know respects President Bush and wonders why he does not come out sticking his power of authority down their throats. I love hearing this type of Talk!!!! BRING IT ON DIMS.... your party is going down the drain with the left minded hollywood,du, moveon, goof balls.
