Kerry Accuses White House of Intolerance By MIKE GLOVER, Associated Press Writer 15 minutes ago Sen. John Kerry accused the Bush administration on Saturday of stirring up a "spirit of intolerance" to suppress dissent over the war in Iraq. Kerry said the Bush administration is targeting opponents of the Iraq war in much the same way he was attacked for protesting failed policies in Vietnam in the 1970s. "Dismissing dissent is not only wrong but dangerous when America's leadership is unwilling to admit mistakes, unwilling to engage in honest discussion and unwilling to hold itself accountable for the consequences of...

Full text of Democratic radio address: "Good morning. I am Senator John Kerry from Massachusetts. "This week Senate Democrats won an important victory toward comprehensive immigration reform that honors the contributions of immigrants and provides real security for America. "The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bi-partisan immigration bill that: 1) provides a path toward citizenship for undocumented immigrants, 2) re-unites families, and 3) strengthens border security. "Democrats made sure that the Dream Act was included, so that young people who have spent most of their lives in the United States, who believe in our country, who have stayed out of...

The 2004 election is months in the past, but Sen. John Kerry still seems to be on the campaign trail. As he tries to carve out a postelection life, the Massachusetts Democrat repeatedly has invoked his run against President Bush as his party's presidential nominee. Last week, he both took credit for Mr. Bush's recent embrace of increased death benefits for troops killed in combat and criticized the president for betraying the message of the election, which he said was bipartisanship. And on Wednesday, Mr. Kerry brought up the 2004 campaign during a Senate Finance Committee hearing as he attacked...

The election is over but the bickering never stopped. Some voters are suffering from "post election stress disorder." Pundits and partisans are stepping up to next face-off: judicial appointments. Yet the country has united on one issue: Vietnam. Ernest Lefever described the American attitude toward Vietnam: "The two diametrically opposed interpretations of Vietnam continue to vie for the American psyche. Until the issue is resolved, we will suffer from a kind of historical schizophrenia." The parade of Vietnam Veterans across the stage at the Democrats National Convention received a standing ovation, the first of its kind from the protesting class....

I am new at this, and can anyone tell me why JFK's military records can not be obtained via the Freedom of Information act? I know that his records are of a personal nature but, once he runs for a public office, especially one as high as President of the United States. I would think that we all have the right to know all we can about this guy. The welfare of our country is at stake. This fact alone should place his records in the public domain! If not then, "Blast and Damned!" God Help us!

I have to admit that, as Sean says, my heart is troubled. There are a lot of signs that President Bush is going to win a closely contested race. But it's too close for comfort. Still... I flipped on Big Eddie Schultz a couple of days ago to see what he's saying. (Actually, I'm pretty impressed with Eddie. He has a nice radio presence. However, because he's a liberal, he doesn't have a leg to stand on and must rely on lies to fill the three hours of his show.) I caught him during a rant in which he screamed...

Shepard Smith just said Kerry Campaign due on FOX BUT they "missed" their spot.Bush campaign showed up! Kerry campaign afraid of AMMOGATE questions?LOL

Through a very reliable source, I received a copy of the following e-mail to Sean Hannity asking his help in exposing the truth about John Kerry's discharge papers fromteh US Navy. The author is a retired former Navy lawyer and he references the former personal lawyer to then Secretary of the Navy J. William Middleton. If these two gentlemen can shed light on the truth of John Kerry's record, then the American people have a right to know. Subject: Fw: THE JIMMY CARTER LEGACY CONTINUES Sean,I was on active duty as a U.S. Navy lawyer when all of this was...

Boca Raton, FL - Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry issued the following statement today in response to the president's comment that it is "up in the air" if we will ever be fully safe: "First, George W. Bush said we couldn't win the war on terror. Then he said we could. Now, in a new interview, in another moment of candor, George Bush said 'Whether or not we can be... fully safe ... is up in the air.' "George W. Bush doubts whether he can make America safe. Well, I give you this pledge: As president, we will find, capture...

WASHINGTON -- The presidential race is too close to project a winner right now, but that doesn't mean it will be too close on Election Day to prevent a landslide. Winner-take-all Electoral College math could convert a modest burst of momentum from President Bush or Sen. John Kerry into a sweep of tossup states -- and a presidential mandate. With state and national polls showing the race essentially tied, Bush and Kerry are making strategic decisions based on the assumption that that the popular vote will be evenly divided and every Electoral College vote will count. Thus, in the final...

To what depths today's politicians will sink to get a chance at pandering to the dumbed-down masses known in the "beltway" as "voting blocks." Sen. John Kerry may have reached a new low in Ohio with his staged goose hunt.

October 15, 2004 -- It hardly seems possible, but the Demo crats stooped even lower yesterday in their contemptible abuse of Vice Pres ident Dick Cheney's daughter. Both the veep and his wife, Lynne, reacted angrily to John Kerry's having pointedly noted in Wednesday's debate that their daughter Mary — who works for the campaign but keeps a low profile — is gay. The suspicion is that Kerry meant to damage the Republican ticket in the eyes of any voters who have a problem with Mary Cheney's sexuality — that is, in the eyes of people that Kerry considers to...

How do you deal with a ticking time bomb that is primed to blow key US entitlement programs to bits in the not-too-distant future? If you're John F. Kerry and you want to be President of the United States, apparently your solution is to bury your head in the sand so deeply that you won't hear the explosion when the bomb goes off. And how do you deal with a national medical system that offers most US citizens superb healthcare but is in urgent need of market incentives to expand its coverage and improve its performance? If you're John F....

<p>BY THOMAS LIPSCOMB - Special to the Sun October 13, 2004 URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/3107 An official Navy document on Senator Kerry's campaign Web site listed as Mr. Kerry's "Honorable Discharge from the Reserves" opens a door on a well kept secret about his military service. The document is a form cover letter in the name of the Carter administration's secretary of the Navy, W. Graham Claytor. It describes Mr. Kerry's discharge as being subsequent to the review of "a board of officers." This in it self is unusual. There is nothing about an ordinary honorable discharge action in the Navy that requires a review by a board of officers. According to the secretary of the Navy's document, the "authority of reference" this board was using in considering Mr. Kerry's record was "Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1162 and 1163. "This section refers to the grounds for involuntary separation from the service. What was being reviewed, then, was Mr. Kerry's involuntary separation from the service. And it couldn't have been an honorable discharge, or there would have been no point in any review at all. The review was likely held to improve Mr. Kerry's status of discharge from a less than honorable discharge to an honorable discharge. A Kerry campaign spokesman, David Wade, was asked whether Mr. Kerry had ever been a victim of an attempt to deny him an honorable discharge. There has been no response to that inquiry. The document is dated February 16, 1978. But Mr. Kerry's military commitment began with his six-year enlistment contract with the Navy on February 18, 1966. His commitment should have terminated in 1972. It is highly unlikely that either the man who at that time was a Vietnam Veterans Against the War leader, John Kerry, requested or the Navy accepted an additional six year reserve commitment. And the Claytor document indicates proceedings to reverse a less than honorable discharge that took place sometime prior to February 1978. The most routine time for Mr. Kerry's discharge would have been at the end of his six-year obligation, in 1972. But how was it most likely to have come about?</p>
