"Do you know how to vote often?" the wife of Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry asked a crowd of just over 1,000 in the school's auditorium.

PITTSBURGH - Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe urged voters to ignore alleged voting scams and turn out to the polls, promising victory for John Kerry a day before Election Day.

Last week in St. Louis Missouri, a racially-charged pamphlet has been the latest attempt made by Democrats to win minority votes in the African-American community. “This is what they used to do to keep us from voting,” proclaims the brochure, featuring a photo of a 1960’s snapshot of a firefighter hosing a colored person. “Now Attorney General John Ashcroft is trying to prevent African Americans from voting at all. Don’t let them do it again." Missouri Democratic spokeswoman Sarah Howard insists she absolutely will not pull the flier. This is an outrage. This year the attempts made by both parties...

California College Republicans Chairman Michael P. Davidson issued the following statement on the use of the draft by MTV’s Rock the Vote and the KerryCampaign as a scare tactic this election year: "MTV and the Kerry campaign's use of the draft to scare young voters into voting is pathetic and disgusting. "While our servicemen are fighting for our country and the freedom of millions, military service should not be used as an instrument of fear. Military service is one of the most honorable deeds and any suggestion otherwise is grossly insulting. "In this campaign, there is only one person that...

From crushkerry.com: A Childish Act From a Non-Serious Candidate Check out this Halliburton "Pre-Buttal" called a "Hallibuttal" on the Kerry website. At first we thought it was a parody given that it's in comic book form, but it's not. Not only are the facts twisted beyond recognition, it is unworthy of a man running for President, except of course one who likes to insult our intelligence. We thought that jabroni's like us had the "childish" market cornered. We were wrong.

Many democrats have told Senator Kerry in private to elevate the role of Clinton White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart. Kerry was also advised to reconfigure the department for managing the message, arguably the most important job in politics--dominated by round the clock media coverage. One top Democrat said James Carville, the Clinton's top strategist, is urging the campaign to bring on Paul Begala, who worked for Carville, in a senior position to help with message and strategy. Begala is a Kerry friend who already informally advises the campaign. Several Kerry friends have also privately told the candidate to quit...

Even as Sen. John Kerry and his cheerleaders in Big Media try to associate President Bush with the modestly funded Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, they remain silent about the links Kerry and the Democrat party have to multimillion-dollar Bush-hating groups. But they cannot keep concealing these ties, because NewsMax has uncovered multiple examples. Thanks in part to tips from readers nationwide who are outraged about the blatant bias of the media establishment, we have found the following: # From Democrats.org, a Web site of the Democratic National Committee, May 9, 2003: “The Democratic Party is partnering with MoveOn.org, People...

CALGARY (CP) - U.S. presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites)'s campaign veered north into Canada on Tuesday as his sister appealed to expatriate Americans to register for their absentee ballots.

POWELL and MARK HELM Hearst News Service BOSTON --Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Monday announced creation of a nationwide legal SWAT team of election lawyers to combat the kind of voting irregularities that occurred in Florida four years ago, contributing to the disputed election of President Bush by five electoral votes.

According to some Democratic lawmakers, you aren't capable of voting this year without a United Nations monitor making sure you get it right. Nine prominent Democrats, elected members of the House of Representatives, have sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, begging him to send UN monitors to oversee the 2004 election. Florida representative Eddie Bernice Johnson led the latest effort to subvert the sovereignty of the United States and place us under the control of the increasingly-corrupt United Nations. Let me get this straight. A group of Democrats want to bring some people from countries like North Korea,...

Nader personally leveled the allegation in a conversation with John Kerry Tuesday morning, and detailed the exchange later in the day for national radio host Sean Hannity. "I said, 'You better look and see what your Democrats are doing here because they can get in trouble'. . . . I told him, 'This could be a kind of Watergate.'" Nader said that Kerry has "got these rambunctious, aggressive underlings of his" who...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is breaking hard right before our eyes. Sean Hannity is talking now about the phony outrage story regarding the President Bush ads. We are going to find that the RATS contacted family members who are anti-war, anti-Bush and who lost relatives on 9-11. We will find they were given the phone numbers of newsrooms. We will find they were given talking points. Although some who called got out of hand, we got the NY TIMES to take notice of the story. They were deluged with phone calls. I understand Neal Boortz was on the story as...

PLAYING DOCTORThe Kerry campaign in Iowa is looking into the events that transpired on Saturday in Des Moines, when former Vermont Gov. Howie Dean, a licensed physician, helped a man who appeared to suffer a seizure on a street. It turns out the man was a Dean volunteer, and Dean just happened to be passing by when he noticed a crowd and wondered what had happened.
