    'WASHINGTON - Sen. John F. Kerry's brash offer to meet privately with former foe President Bush [related, bio] to discuss foreign policy before Bush's meetings abroad next week with key European leaders has apparently fallen on deaf ears at the White House. ``We've offered to have Sen. Kerry (D-Mass.) meet with President Bush to discuss his trip to Iraq, if the White House is interested,'' Kerry spokesman David Wade said yesterday. ``There are many areas where genuine bipartisanship would make a difference in leading our country forward, whether in national security or children's health care.'' The White House declined comment...

    flippin' again 02/15 05:13 PM John Kerry has signaled his support for President Bush’s $81.9B Iraq/Afghanistan/tsunami funding request. And just to “clarify,” Kerry spoke of his previous vote against military funding: “Mine was the right vote at the time and I wouldn't change it if we went back to that point in time because it was the right vote.” Whether it’s concerning his Vietnam record or funding for U.S. troops, Kerry has settled on his response to questions concerning his campaign’s setbacks. Think of it as his all-purpose “aloha” response: “Should we have done a better job, could I have...

    Sen. John Kerry reiterated his pledge on Monday to sign the form that would allow the government to release all his military records, but said he wanted to know exactly what was in his file before doing so. "I have a stack of different material they sent me," Kerry told radio host Don Imus. "Every time they send me something I want to know what they sent me." "I'll get it done," Kerry insisted in the next breath. Last week the 2008 presidential hopeful suggested he wanted to review his full Navy file to make sure of "what is in...

    Appreciative Kerry lays groundwork for 2008 run By Andrew Miga Saturday, February 5, 2005 Thanking 1,200 supporters gathered in Boston's Westin Hotel last night, Sen. John F. Kerry [related, bio] joked: ``According to the exit polls, there are 2 million people in this room tonight.'' Kerry, striving to be upbeat as he addressed staffers and campaign volunteers from his failed White House run, was propped up by his Bay State colleague, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy [related, bio]. ``This is the first meeting of the Kerry for President Committee 2008,'' Kennedy declared as Kerry and his wife, Teresa, looked on. In...

    A bitter-sounding Sen. John Kerry dismissed the historic Iraqi election on Sunday, warning Americans not to "overhype" the watershed event. "No one in the United States should try to overhype this election," Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press." The failed presidential candidate questioned the historic referendum's legitimacy, saying, "It's hard to say that something is legitimate when a whole portion of the country can't vote and doesn't vote." Kerry also pooh-poohed reports of a surprisingly high 72 percent turnout by Iraqi voters, insisting instead that the election has "gone as expected." Asked if he thought Iraq was now less of...

    First he helped torpedo John F. Kerry's presidential campaign by pronouncing the Massachusetts Democrat "Unfit for Command" in a book, subtitled "Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," that he co-wrote last year. Now insurance broker Jerome Corsi says he is taking aim at a different target: Kerry's Senate seat.

    Bush Sworn-In, Swift Boat Vets Glad It's Not Kerry Thu Jan 20, 2005 5:53 PM ET By John Crawley WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With thousands of Republican faithful cheering the inauguration of President Bush to a second term on Thursday, a group of veterans at the forefront of the "Swift Boat" campaign banded quietly to salute their part in thwarting the candidacy of Sen. John Kerry. "Swift Boat guys were not unified in supporting George Bush. Many were independent or many were Democrats. The only point of union was that they did not want John Kerry to be president," Jerry Corsi,...

    I knew it was coming, but it looks like it is getting really close. Jerome Corsi (the guy who wrote Unfit for Command with John O'Neill) has a new book coming out! Hopefully Atomic Iran will help people wake up. This Iran situation is getting out of hand. And then there's this: "gives light to the aid and comfort being supplied by some key U.S. politicians." This is going to get very, very interesting. It looks like Worldnetdaily is involved in this somehow, so hang on...here we go again! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1581824580/qid=1105889693/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/002-0914162-4508028?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

    The last battle of the Vietnam War was fought on November 2nd, 2004, as John Kerry was defeated in his bid to become President of the United States by John O'Neill and the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth. What was the battle about? It was a battle to recapture the honor of the Vietnam veterans who served gallantly and heroically in that war. And who were the adversaries in this battle? It was the dishonest old media culture -- CBS, NBC, ABC, The New York Times, and the LA Times, who backed John Kerry’s version of how Vietnam veterans...
  • Why John Kerry lost [Lipscomb says press overlooks Swiftie importance]

    New York Sun ^ | January 7-9, 2005 | Thomas Lipscomb
    "Newsweek talks exclusively with John Kerry about why he lost" promised the cover story this New Year's week, and it turns out that Senator Kerry's reflections boil down to the Nixonian. "The pundits have never liked me," he said. "Is it the way I look? The way I sound?" The rest of the press hasn't done much better. Immediately after the campaign, they decided the election was won on "values." A few days later the consensus shifted like a school of fish. Mr. Kerry lost because, as Newsweek's Evan Thomas put it, "sitting presidents are never defeated in wartime." So...

    Visiting with U.S. troops in Baghdad on Thursday, failed presidential candidate John Kerry trashed Commander-in-chief George Bush for making "horrendous judgments" and "unbelievable blunders" that have undermined the war effort. In a series of demoralizing comments first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, the defeated Democrat griped, "What is sad about what's happening here now is that so much of it is a process of catching up from the enormous miscalculations and wrong judgments made in the beginning." Kerry said that because of the Bush administration's mistakes, "the job has been made enormously harder." Among the errors cited by the...

    On Thursday afternoon, when members of Congress will meet to certify the results of the 2004 presidential election, Sen. John F. Kerry will not be among those taking part in a formal protest of Ohio electors. "Despite widespread reports of irregularities, questionable practices by some election officials and instances of lawful voters being denied the right to vote, our legal teams on the ground have found no evidence that would change the outcome of the election," Kerry said in a Jan. 5 email message to supporters.

    First, the blame. Then, the healing. In a new book, NEWSWEEK talks exclusively with John Kerry about why he lost—and looks at his plans for another run. It was a little after 7 p.m. on election night 2004. The network exit polls showed John Kerry leading George Bush in both Florida and Ohio by three points. Kerry's aides were confident that the Democratic candidate would carry these key swings states; Bush had not broken 48 percent in Kerry's recent tracking polls. The aides were a little hesitant to interrupt Kerry as he was fielding satellite TV interviews in a...

    KERRY SPEAKS: WHAT WENT WRONG Sun Jan 02 2005 10:35:31 ET New York-In an exclusive interview about his presidential campaign and his life now, Sen. John Kerry tells Newsweek, "I'm not going to lick my wounds or hide under a rock or disappear. I'm going to learn. I've had disappointments and I've learned to cope. I've lost friends, a marriage: I've lost things in life." Kerry has not given any formal interviews since his defeat. But on Nov. 11, he summoned a Newsweek reporter to his house on Boston's fashionable Louisberg Square. He wanted to complain about Newsweek's election issue,...

    These books were all on the list and considered some of the most notable of 2004: "Against All Enemies", "Chain of Command", "My Life", "Plan of Attack", "STRANGERS: Homosexual Love in the Nineteenth Century" and "THE SURRENDER: An Erotic Memoir." Not one positive book about President Bush. Most obvious is the omission of "Unfit for Command" the book that influenced the election more than any other book that came out in 2004. It is yet another example of the liberal bias that stifles the truth in the MSM.

    When it comes to choosing leaders, integrity comes first--and no man showed more integrity in 2004 than John O'Neill, the 2004 HUMAN EVENTS Man of the Year. He helped to teach us the truth about John Kerry and counter the lies Kerry spread about the image of the Vietnam veteran, whom Kerry maligned three decades ago when, as an anti-war agitator, he presented slanderous testimony in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Kerry wanted voters to see him as a war hero who stood by his "band of brothers." But John O'Neill and the Swift Boat veterans had a different view--of...
