is he can't be trusted with what he says, he'll say ANYTHING during the election cycle to get elected. The only true basis to judge future behavior is his own record. His record shows he HATES the military, therefore, would be an extremely poor Commander-in-Chief. His record shows he LOVES raising taxes across the board, therefore, he would raise taxes not only on the rich, but on the rest of us too. His record shows he is the most liberal of all Senators in the US Senate, therefore, would turn our country into a neo-communist state, he would be the...

Be Prepared for angry Kerry thugs and thug-ettes after Kerry's defeat.

On a local Milwaukee news station WISN - Kerry was asked to respond to the new Bin-Laden tape and bits of it were played for him and he actually had the gall to say something to the effect of: "Well, if Bush hadn't let him get away in Tora Bora..." Can you believe this? After he praised the mission at the time! After Tommy Franks was very clear that no one was sure he was there. After he knows we had Special Forces in there! He uses this awful veriled threat to score political points! I've heard Holbrooke and Begala...

Your a voter, any voter, representing any party. What are the chances you are not familiar with bin Laden? I made the effort/wasted my time checking the two most widely recognized liberal media publications and found numerous stories this week alone concerning bin Laden. Many discuss his endorsement of Kerry. From the first light of the first campaign day Kerry has whined about the fact that bin Laden continues to run free. In his opinion, Saddam was dessert and bin Laden was the main course. He has maintained that Bush's "outsourcing" of the capture of our number one terrorist was...

Please enter your entry of items, anecdotes, reasons why Kerry is not a good man. He's done some creepy things in the campaign, in his politics and in his life. Since he is presenting to the people some thing other than who he really is, I think a summation, butt SO the challenge: Give me a bullet item, 100 words or less per item, that shows he is not a good man. Example: Used the crippled ex-Senator Max Cleland for a cheap political stunt of delivering a letter to President Bush. When fellow vet Jerry Patterson, Texas Land Commissioner had...

Until now, it has been the conventional wisdom of former military Freepers, including myself, that any misconduct committed by John Kerry while a civilian in an inactive duty status while still a member of the U.S. Naval Reserves would have had no impact on his discharge status. I, along with others, believed that, after release from active duty but while still a member of the Naval Reserve, Kerry could only have been held accountable for misconduct while on active duty for training or for previous misconduct committed prior to his release from active duty. Well, we have all been proven...

I believe America's best days are ahead of us because I believe that the future belongs to freedom, not to fear -- I fear if you were to get in office more good people would die because of your lies. I can make American safer than President Bush has made us -- He didn't say how. I have a better plan for homeland security -- He didn't say what it was. I have a better plan to be able to fight the war on terror -- He never stated specifics. I have a plan to have a summit with all...

(Excerpt:) "Kerry is an odd mix. There's Kerry the Eliot Ness crusader who takes on tough cases to serve justice. There's Kerry the dispassionate policy advocate who can appear more intrigued with issues than with making contact. His politics bounce between the two. He assails the flow of private money into campaigns; he sides with portions of the corporate political agenda. He hews to the liberal line on universal healthcare and increasing wages, but he has displayed more interest in the subject of international crime--hardly an unimportant topic, but one that does not stir many souls. Does that indicate he's...

<p>As he arrives Sunday at a secluded resort near here for four days of debate preparation, Sen. John Kerry would be advised to ignore a motto inscribed on a historical marker on the edge of town.</p> <p>"Early in life I had to choose between honest arrogance and hypocritical humility," reads a quotation from architect and one-time resident Frank Lloyd Wright. "I chose the former and have seen no reason to change."</p>

The decoration has been prominent in the current presidential campaign because of Democratic nominee John Kerry, who received three Purple Heart awards for serving in the Vietnam War. A group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth has questioned elements of his military service, alleging that "at least one of Kerry's Purple Heart awards was the result of his own negligence, not enemy fire." Example of injuries "which clearly do not qualify for award of the Purple Heart" include: frostbite or trench foot injuries; heat stroke; chemical, biological or nuclear agents not released by the enemy; accidents not related to or...

OK, here we go again. Drudge references an article on Sunday, September 26 with the heading "Bush Team Wants to See Kerry Sweat." Here is the article Drudge references: http://www.time.com/time/election2004/article/0,18471,702075,00.html My thinking is that Kerry really has nothing to lose. If he is defeated, he remains a gigolo - plugged into a $2Billion fortune. Therefore, he will SAY ANYTHING to win the debate...he has walk away power and nothing to lose. Bush on the other hand has a great deal to lose. He has led the war on terror and implemented a Middle East policy based on a realistic view...

Questioning Kerry's patriotism Judson Cox April 26, 2004 John Kerry has accused Republicans of questioning his patriotism. Why not question Kerry's patriotism? Should not a candidate for the Presidency of the United States be patriotic? Should he not love and be loyal to the land he hopes to lead? I say yes, and I will question Kerry's patriotism. Sen. Kerry has a record of engaging in activity that falls just short of treason; he has aided and abetted enemies of the United States. Kerry has falsely maligned U.S. soldiers as war criminals: "They told stories that at times they had...

Politics of Self-Deception Posted September 24, 2004 By Patrick Garry John Kerry is not simply a flip-flopper. It may be worse than that. It may be argued that Kerry and his party are in the throes of self-deception. Either that or they are deliberate hypocrites. It's not that John Kerry doesnt know where he stands. He knows exactly; his ideology has been consistent for the past thirty-five years. Kerry's problem is that he can't reveal his true beliefs. Its a problem shared by the entire Democratic party. Democrats are well practiced at concealing themselves. They are good at pretending to...

Kerry Ad Labels Bush Politics 'Despicable' 46 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) — responding to a Republican group's ad that portrays the senator as soft on terrorism — accused President Bush (news - web sites) and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) of "despicable politics" in a new commercial that the Democrat's campaign rolled out Saturday. Kerry's ad claims that the Republican ticket is "using the appalling and divisive strategy of playing politics with the war on terror, a strategy that undermines the efforts to combat terrorists in America and puts...

Who has a better plan for winning the war on terror? President George Bush 48% 36607 votes Sen. John Kerry 52% 39694 votes

During a 1997 debate on CNN's "Crossfire," Sen. John Kerry, now the Democratic presidential nominee, made the case for launching a pre-emptive attack against Iraq. So reveals Rep. Peter King, New York Republican, who appeared with Mr. Kerry on the program. Mr. King says the U.N. Security Council had just adopted a resolution against Iraq that was watered down at the behest of the French and the Russians. Yet the candidate who now criticizes President Bush for ignoring French and Russian objections to the Iraq war blasted the two countries, claiming that they were compromised by their business dealings with...

John Kerry's Jim Crow America... "The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights investigated these allegations over a six-month period beginning in January 2001. Its 200-page majority report, Voting Irregularities in Florida During the 2000 Presidential Election, excoriates Florida's election officials for various acts of misfeasance. But the conclusions drawn by the report often bore little relationship to the facts contained therein. And media descriptions of the report did little to dispel the widespread belief among the black electorate that blacks had been systematically targeted for harassment, intimidation, and disenfranchisement."

What was Kerry thinking? I wish he'd talk this tough about the French.

The subliberal candidate for President of the United States calls the Prime Minister of Iraq a liar. One would think if things were so awful in Iraq he would be saying so and be campaigning for Kerry. Allawi is obviously against TERRORISM and KERRORISM... >The Massachusetts senator questioned assertions by Allawi, a key ally of the Bush administration, that Iraq would hold elections in January despite the flaring insurgency and that "we are succeeding in Iraq." "I think the prime minister is obviously contradicting his own statement of a few days ago when he said that terrorists are pouring into...
