Once again, even the Democrats know that Kerry is garbage
Read this survey, conducted by Democrats themselves.
Wait a second
I though the Democrats were more united than ever? After all, that's what they keep telling me:
Newsview: Dems Fear Kerry Looks Like Gore
WASHINGTON - It's a recurring nightmare for Democratic strategist Tony Coelho — the party's presidential candidate portrayed as a flip-flopping opportunist, ill-served by a strife-torn staff. It happened in 2000, when Coelho ran Al Gore (news - web sites)'s campaign. Now, it's happening to John Kerry (news - web sites).
Democratic leaders fear he's getting "Gored."
"What the Kerry people don't understand is, it's succeeding," Coelho said.
Scores of Kerry supporters like the former California congressman say their initial response is to remain hopeful, based on polls showing the presumptive nominee tied with President Bush (news - web sites) while the Democratic Party is better funded and more united than in 2000. But they are worried about history repeating itself.
"No question, it's a rerun of 2000," said Donna Brazile, campaign manager for the former vice president's 2000 race.
So much for that "united" jazz. This is my favorite part:
"They're painting Kerry as a liberal, and it's succeeding. They're painting him as somebody who flip flops, and they're succeeding," Coelho said, adding that the race is far from over because Kerry has time to show voters his own biography and character. The campaign plans to unveil new biographical ads as early as next week.
New biographical ads? How pathetic is that? I almost feel sorry for them, thinking that Kerry's problems are because people don't know him. In reality, it is exactly like a recent ad Bush had out there, "The problem isn't that people know him, it's that people do." C'mon, what is he going to put in this biographical ad? Something like this maybe:
"Here's John Kerry. He served in Vietnam. He backstabbed his fellow soldiers for selfish political gain when he returned home. He married a rich woman. an for Congress twice and lost. Was Dukakis' Lt. Governor. Ran for Senate and won. Has voted against every defense program that came before him, and for every tax increase and liberal program he saw, while introducing zero legislation of significance. Divorced rich woman. Married even richer woman, a widow of one of his fellow Senators. Flip-flopped throughout. Vote for Kerry."
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

From the headline on down...
...there are many, many levels of not only liberal bias, but liberal comedy too.
Kerry Says Bush Ignoring Imminent Threats
PHILADELPHIA - Amid warnings that another devastating terrorist attack on the United States could be imminent, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Thursday accused President Bush of leaving the nation's chemical plants vulnerable because of his political ties to the industry.
That's right, Bush is leaving them vulnerable because he is in bed with them!! Think about that logic for a minute. Isn't that the exact opposite of how you are supposed to take care of your cronies? Then again, to Kerry, it is perfect logic.
Kerry painted a bleak picture of the danger facing Americans and suggested there could be an attack before the November election. He said every report out of Washington shows that it's not a matter of whether there will be another terrorist attack, but when.
While I am not saying he is hoping for one, we all know that Kerry believes that a terror attack here will turn us all to Spainiards and we will run to vote for him. Between now and the election, you can bet that Kerry will warn about every possible type of attack just so he can say he warned us.

Kerry - the gutless wonder
How can anyone possibly think that John Kerry will have the guts to stand up for America in the world, no matter the criticism, when he does not even have the courage to say that he owns an SUV? He is so afraid of those environmental groups, he says the Chevy Suburban belongs to the family, not to him.
Kerry Says His 'Family' Owns SUV, Not He
Contrast Kerry's gutlessness with Gov. Schwarzenegger, who proudly boasts about his several Hummers. No one cares. But Kerry, so afraid of offending some leftist wackos, he gets caught in a blantant lie, and tries to "nuance" his way out of it.
Do you think he would defend America if the French or Kofi Annan complained? You already know the answer.

And this too from Mr. Green
Via Vodka Pundit
This letter was originally written to the Vodka Pundit:
Reader Frank Martin would like to know why John Kerry hasn't announced any plans to leave the Senate -- and why no one else seems to be planning to take his place:
The Democrats obviously want to keep a seat in the senate, which begs the question: Why isn’t the national Democratic party making noise about who is going to take Kerry’s place? Why aren’t any of the Mass. political class jumping in front of cameras?
In every way that matters, Kerry’s seat represents the first chance in very long time for a politico in Massachusetts to step into the Senate, which, is actually a very powerful position. Teddy “Wheres my Gin Bottle” Kennedy, is sadly not long for this earth. Its entirely likely that the Junior senator for Mass in this term could become the Senior senator in no time at all. Perks? Privilege? Prestige? That’s the “crack cocaine” of the political class.
Now, Politicos are like sharks, they smell blood in the water and they are compelled by nature to be all over it. So, why aren’t these guys all over the biggest political opportunity in a lifetime in the relatively safe democratic seat in Massachusetts?
Maybe, because they know its not going to be open because the current occupant is not going anywhere?
Frank adds, "your blog is great lately. You are on fire man!" Thanks, buddy. I'd blush, but I think you all know that I just don't know how.

Latest Bush Ad
Script for “Doublespeak”
President Bush:
I’m George W. Bush and I approve this message.
VO:
John Kerry says, "A lot of people don't really know who I am."
Well, actually, a lot of people do.
Kerry’s hometown paper says, “In his continuing effort to be all things to all voters … John Kerry is engaging in a level of doublespeak that makes most voters wince.”
The Wall Street Journal said Kerry's tax plan “would mean increasing the tax burden again, which would likely kill the recovery."
On Iraq, The Washington Post said “Kerry’s attempts to weave a thread connecting and justifying [his] positions are unconvincing.”
The Union Leader says Kerry has “waffled” on historic education reforms he supported in 2001, but now opposes.
And the non-partisan National Journal magazine ranks Kerry the most liberal member of the Senate – more liberal than Hillary Clinton or Ted Kennedy.
John Kerry’s problem is not that people don’t know him. It’s that people do.

John Kerry -like 99.9 percent of us - just ask his people
Yesterday, the Viking Pundit wanted to know if Kerry aid the optional higher tax rate on his state return. As we all expected, Kerry did not.
(This part blatantly copied from the Viking Pundit)
The rich should pay higher taxes…except me
With a hat tip to the Cracker Barrel Philosopher, here’s an article by Howie Carr which suggests that John “Soak the rich!” Kerry didn’t pay the extra tax on his Massachusetts return:
Weary of liberals always clamoring for higher taxes on other people, an anti-tax group managed to place a line on the tax form giving Bay Staters the option of paying at the old, since-repealed 5.85 percent rate, rather than at the current 5.3 percent rate.
For two years now, John Kerry has had the opportunity to pay his "fair share." But like some Benedict Arnold CEO, the Democratic Party candidate for president has taken the money and ran.
"Why do you even call asking about this?" his spokesman, Michael Meehan, said Saturday morning. "He has made the same decision as 99.9 percent of his fellow Massachusetts residents."
A little defensive, Mike? How much would it have cost Senator Splunge to set an example for his fellow millionaires? According to Carr, a measly $2,174.
Yep, Kerry is an average Joe.

I am very happy to post this, because I am a Catholic who does not support Kerry:
Hi,
I noticed some comments on your blog about catholics and kerry.
I would like to bring a new website to your attention. A small group of Catholics recently started this website in response to Senator Kerry's attempts to gain Catholic votes. Our goals are to stop Senator Kerry from using his faux catholicism as an election prop, to reduce the number of votes he receives from Catholics, and to enable other Catholics to tell the world we do not support this man--that he is not a "Catholic candidate."
If you have a moment, could you look over the website? Its address is www.catholicsagainstkerry.com
Any and all comments, suggestions, and especially criticisms would be appreciated. Please feel free to forward the website or this email to anyone you wish to forward it too.

MFamous sent along this link to a song called "Doin' the Kerry Flip-Flop"
There was some stuff in the news a couple of weeks ago about how Kerry needs to get more in touch with flyover country; start wearing jeans and be more "blue collar". The song was inspired by that.

Kerry on MTP
Kerry on Meet The Press
Lee at Right Thinking has a great post on this. So does Mark Kilmer. Take a look. I'd like to add this: (My fisking in bold)
MR. RUSSERT: If you were elected one year from now, will there be 100,000 American troops in Iraq?
SEN. KERRY: It depends on what the situation is you find on the ground on January 20th of 2005. I will tell you this, Tim. I will immediately reach out to other nations in a very different way from this administration. Within weeks of being inaugurated, I will return to the U.N. and I will literally, formally rejoin the community of nations and turn over a proud new chapter in America's relationship with the world, which will do a number of things. (Meaning he will bow to the United Nations and let them ruin everything like they always do. This way, Kerry can do what he does best: Shift blame elsewhere.) Number one, change how we're approaching North Korea. (Bribe them like Clinton did, while they become even more dangerous.) Number two, change how we're dealing with AIDS globally. (How is that? Spend even more money than Bush has? This is pandering to gays) Number three, change how we're doing with proliferation with Russia and other countries. (Now who is stuck in the Cold War? Is he saying that he is once agin going to bind us to a treaty with Russia that isn't worth the paper it is printed on, and that Russia never upheld anyway?) Number four, change our approach to global warming and the effort of 160 nations. (That sounds like Kyoto. Kerry voted for a Senate resolution that declared that the Senate would never ratify Kyoto. Kerry is pandering to environmentalists and lying through his teeth. Shameless nonsense.) And that will take some of the poison out of the well that this administration has put there. (Sure, as long as we let those weak, insignificant countries like France and Germany dictate our policy, they'll love us.)
Hey Democrats, this is the best you could do? No way Kerry beats Bush in November.

The Viking Pundit asks a great question
(This post was blatantly copied from the Viking Pundit)
Where is Kerry’s Massachusetts tax return?
Tom the Minuteman and Byron York on NRO are both analyzing John Kerry’s recently released federal tax return today but, in my opinion, they’re missing the bigger story. Massachusetts has an “optional tax rate” of 5.85% instead of the normal 5.3%; thus, if you are “blessed to be wealthy” you may feel compelled to voluntarily increase your tax burden to help out the state.
Raising taxes on Americans making more than $200,000 has been the cornerstone of John Kerry’s so-called economic policy. Does he practice the noblesse oblige he preaches or did he pay the lower tax rate? Let’s see the MA state tax return, Senator.

Kerry...bin Laden...what's the difference?
Gee, I wonder where Osama got these talking points from?
"This war makes millions of dollars for big corporations, either weapons manufacturers or those working in the reconstruction [of Iraq], such as Halliburton and its sister companies...
"It is crystal clear who benefits from igniting the fire of this war and this bloodshed: They are the merchants of war, the bloodsuckers who run the policy of the world from behind the scenes.
"President Bush and his ilk, the media giants, and the U.N. ... all are a fatal danger to the world, and the Zionist lobby is their most dangerous member. Allah willing, we will persist in fighting them...
Add bin Laden to the list of foreign leaders that want Kerry to win. Hell, if bin Laden shows support for universal health care and abortion on demand, he might get a speaking slot at the Democrat convention.

Kerry just doesn't get it
I read this excerpt from a Kerry event today and I was floored at Kerry's lack of reality:
During his day at the college's Harlem campus, Kerry promoted his plan to give a free college education to students who agree to public service by ending a $13 billion windfall that banks earn for issuing government-backed student loans.
Without profits, why would banks issue loans? I am no economist, but if the banks do not make money from issuing loans, they won't issue loans. If they don't issue loans, who will then have to come up with the money? Why the government!!! And, where does the government get the money? From you and me in the form of taxes!!
Either Kerry is a dope, or is counting on those students who are a product of an inferior Democrat-backed education establishment to be dopes.

Even the Boston Globe is questioning Kerry's Vietnam service
I have refrained from questioning the veracity of Kerry's Vietnam service, because I have believed it was honorable and it would be hypocritical to suggest otherwise. My problem with Kerry has been his actions since he returned from Vietnam. Take a look at this Boston Globe article, which is raising some important questions:

The Viking Pundit responds
Eric the Viking Pundit responded to my prediction that Gephardt will be Kerry's VP:
Not a chance - Brian at Anti John-Kerry declares a Kerry-Gephardt ticket is “gonna happen.” No way. Too Washington, too old-school. Gephardt is ancient history.
If the Democrats were half as smart as the Viking Pundit, I would never have predicted Gephardt. Problem is, they'll go establishment, just like they did with John Kerry. Eric sees Gephardt for what he is, and thinks that the Democrats do too. He should know better. That's the problem when you are dealing with the donkeys: You have to lower yourself to think on their level. I have a much easier time thinking like a dope than the Viking Pundit does. He's too smart for that.

Kerry's VP Pick
(Editor's Note: We hope he picks a real dope so we can rip on him too.)
Frankly, I don't think it makes a difference who Kerry picks to fill the VP slot on his ticket. He is going to lose in November. I am quite confident of that. I don't read polls that have Bush losing by 6 points to Kerry today, and next week will have him winning by 5 because they are a waste of time. Polls are crap, used by news organizations to get pre-determined results to fit pre-determined story lines. It is the same story over and over. Bad week in Iraq? Bush falls in polls. Good week? He goes up. Good economic news? That gets buried so few hear about it anyway. The press wants a back and forth race story line, so they'll invent it any way they can. Polls are the way to go. Bottom line: Bush beats Kerry come November. If having a certain someone on his ticket would put him over the top, that certain someone would be at the top of the ticket.
John McCain as Kerry's VP? Give me a break. A media invention. Bush would still beat Kerry even if that happened.
Take a look at this Washington Times article discussing Kerry's selection process. This is a great opening sentence:
Democratic leaders are advising Sen. John Kerry to take great care in picking his running mate and select someone who neutralizes his Northeast liberal reputation and doesn't eclipse him in the charm department.
Well, so much for Howard Dean. Just for a few laughs, I'll analyze the contenders for you. I may only have a B.S. in Political Science from Arizona State University, but I think I have a grasp of the situation, and I won't cost Kerry $1,000 an hour.
- Evan Bayh, Indiana senator - The guy he should pick. Bayh would guarantee Indiana for Kerry, and probably almost guarantee for him Ohio, Missouri, and Michigan. He is one of the few Democrats that Republican-leaning swing voters respect. But, since he is not a abortion-on-demand absolutist, the interest groups that have Kerry by the balls would gripe about him to no end. I just don't see Bayh trying to push himself off as a friend of NARAL. If I did, I would not have seen him as a respectable Democrat to begin with.
- John Edwards, North Carolina senator - The guy a lot of Democrats hope he selects, and I would be stunned if he did. Edwards would overshadow Kerry, who just can't have that. Besides, Edwards does not guarantee South Carolina and North Carolina for Kerry, as much as the Democrats and the media think he would. That "Two Americas" speech will fall on deaf ears to swing voters.
- Wesley Clark, clown - First, get this laughable quote:
[Outshining Kerry] not be the problem if he picked former Army Gen. Wesley Clark, said Arkansas Democratic Party Chairman Ron Oliver.
"I don't really think he would outshine Kerry," he said. "They would bring different strengths to the ticket. They would complement each other a lot."
Mr. Oliver said Mr. Clark's military record would help Democrats burnish their chronic image problem with national defense.
"I can't remember a time when a ticket had more military experience than that one would have," he said. "It would really take that issue off the table."
He wishes. The Democratic Party may see Clark as their Patton or Eisenhower, but most Americans with half a brain see him as just above Gomer Pyle. I pray that Kerry picks Clark. He'd sink him for sure.
- Richard Gephardt, Missouri Congressman - Most "experts" think that Gephardt, an unbridled union lackey, would bring Kerry Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. That's good. I hope they continue to think that way. The union rank-and-file already has the Democrats in their back pocket. Gephardt will not add one vote for Kerry outside of Missouri, and I would bet that Bush would win Missouri anyway. If Gephardt had all that union juice we keep hearing about, he would have had a hell of a lot better showing in union-dominated Iowa caucuses, which Gephardt won in 1988.
- Hillary Clinton - No way, as the campaign would be all about her. Besides, every Hillary supporter is already going to vote for Kerry, and her presence would only rile up people to vote against her. C'mon. Use your brain here. IS there actually one person in this country who is planning to vote for Bush, but would say after Hillary was added to the ticket, "That clinches it. I'm voting for Kerry?" No way.
- Bill Richardson, New Mexico Governor and former U.N. ambassador - He is the Governor of the state in live in, and if it wasn't for seeing him on network TV talking about national issues, I wouldn't know anything about this guy. He is a Mexican with an Anglo name. Combined with his U.N. experience and that he was a Secretary of Energy under Clinton, this makes him a media darling. If Richardson was the Governor of a larger state, I would guarantee right here and now that he would be Kerry's pick. Still, I think this guy has a good shot, especially since he speaks perfect Spanish. If you heard this guy's Spanish-language response to the State of the Union, you would know him as the Mexican Yassar Arafat: Says one thing in English, and a wholly different thing in Spanish.
- Janet Napolitano - Arizona Governor - Since I also live in Arizona 3 days a week, I hear the pundits mention her a lot as well. They should just forget it. She is single and looks like a bull-dyke. No one who looks like this could ever win a national election.
Go ahead and call me sexist or whatever you want. You know I am right.
- Bob Graham, Florida senator - I think if Kerry continues to fall in the Florida polling, he may just pick this guy. Another pick I would be happy with. Graham is ripe for the ripping. If he ran as VP like he did for the Democrat nomination, Kerry wouls regret picking him before Labor Day.
- Virginia Governor Mark Warner - A hard-core tax raiser that Cheney would have an open season on in debates. Besides, not enough name recognition.
- Iowa Governor someone - Who?
- Ed Rendell - Pennsylvania Governor - I actually know him, since I worked at his mayor's gala for 6 of the 8 years he was the mayor of Philadelphia. I like him. I think he is a decent guy. But then again, I love my sister-in-law, despite that she would vote for Dennis Kucinch before Bush. I would never vote for Rendell, and he would be too much of a lightening rod for Kerry. Forget him.
In sum, I would not be at all surprised if he picked Bill Richardson. He fits the bill perfectly. A Spanish-speaking Mexican with an Anglo name, governor of a state the Gore only won by 336 votes in 2000, and a guy who could go to Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California and speak to the locals in their native tongue. Plus, he is a media darling and is another one-world U.N.-loving Socialist.
But, I am predicting right here and now that Kerry picks Dick Gephardt. Why? Because the Democrats will go right along with the playbook, despite that it has failed them time after time. Gephardt is an establishment Democrat, who will not do anything to hurt Kerry. (He also would not do anything to help him either) Plus, he has all that "union support" we keep hearing about. Gephardt will be the VP on Kerry's ticket.
One last thing about Gephardt. If he is so popular in Missouri, why has he never run for Senate? Haven't many current Senators started out as Congressman? Isn't being a Senator considered a much higher status than a Congressman? There are only 2 potential answers to that: He either isn't as popular statewide as the media would like us to think, or he is so entrenched in the party leadership that it would hurt his career to leave?
Kerry-Gephardt. It's gonna happen.
Frankly, I don't think it makes a difference who Kerry picks to fill the VP slot on his ticket. He is going to lose in November. I am quite confident of that. I don't read polls that have Bush losing by 6 points to Kerry today, and next week will have him winning by 5 because they are a waste of time. Polls are crap, used by news organizations to get pre-determined results to fit pre-determined story lines. It is the same story over and over. Bad week in Iraq? Bush falls in polls. Good week? He goes up. Good economic news? That gets buried so few hear about it anyway. The press wants a back and forth race story line, so they'll invent it any way they can. Polls are the way to go. Bottom line: Bush beats Kerry come November. If having a certain someone on his ticket would put him over the top, that certain someone would be at the top of the ticket.
John McCain as Kerry's VP? Give me a break. A media invention. Bush would still beat Kerry even if that happened.
Take a look at this Washington Times article discussing Kerry's selection process. This is a great opening sentence:
Democratic leaders are advising Sen. John Kerry to take great care in picking his running mate and select someone who neutralizes his Northeast liberal reputation and doesn't eclipse him in the charm department.

Via Jeff Jacoby:
Which US senator admitted on Sept. 11, 2001, "We have always known this could happen. . . . I regret to say -- I served on the Intelligence Committee up until last year. I can remember after the bombings of the embassies, after TWA 800, we went through this flurry of activity, talking about it -- but not really doing the hard work of responding.''
That was John Kerry on "Larry King Live," ruing his and his colleagues' pre-9/11 failure to give the threat from international terrorism the urgent attention and "hard work of responding" it should have had.

Follow up to Paul
A few days ago, Paul was discussing how the liberal media is already making excuses for Kerry in case he actually wins in November. I wanted to comment on this part of that worthless op-ed he linked to:
To undo the fiscal mess, Kerry would be torn between reassuring Wall Street with a lot of deficit cutting and trying to find some funds to restore domestic social investment.
2 things: One, there is no "fiscal mess" in reality. This is a liberal illusion that they have come to believe themselves. Two, I just love the words "domestic social investment." Clinton was brilliant in how he made welfare and government largesse sound like investments, as if there will be some return on them. If stock markets were based on social investment, they' have crashed a long time ago. This is Socialist (dare I say Communist>) rhetoric. Basically, social investment is welfare. Believe that.

Thomas Friedman is supposed to be brilliant?
If so, explain this:
I know the right thing to do now is to stay the course, defeat the bad guys, disarm the militias and try to build a political framework that will hold the now wavering Shiite majority on our side — because if we lose them, the game is over. But this will take time and sacrifice, and the only way to generate enough of that is by enlisting the U.N., NATO and all of our allies to make the development of a decent state in Iraq a global priority.
Without more allies, without more global legitimacy — and without an Iraqi center ready to stand up against their Khmer Rouge now posing as their Viet Cong — we cannot win in Iraq. We will be building a house with bricks and no cement. In that case, we will have to move to Plan B. Too bad we never really had Plan A.
Gee, you would think he would know better than anyone that NATO and the U.N. do not want to get involved, no matter what. And, he should know that no matter what the U.S. does, there will never be "global legitmacy." Sum up Friedman and the liberal and the Friedman company line like this: Kill people like it is an assembly, OK. Put a stop to it without France and Germany, no way.

Kerry on terrorism
Blatantly stolen from Right Thinking From The Left Coast:
If anyone has wanted to know exactly what John Kerry's plan is for fighting terrorism is, he was kind enough to provide a detailed synopsis yesterday on CNN.
Right now, what I would do differently is, I mean, look, I’m not the president, and I didn’t create this mess so I don’t want to acknowledge a mistake that I haven’t made.
Kerry's entire campaign hinges on the fact that he's not George W. Bush. He hasn't got a single original idea of his own, and most of the people who are going to vote for him don't care what his ideas are, they just know that he's not George W. Bush, and that's good enough for them.
If there was ever any doubt of Kerry's weakness on national defense, let his statement above put it to rest. He's stated numerous times his desire to cede control of American foreign policy to the United Nations, and to give France and Germany a virtual veto over our national security objectives. Anyone, regardless of party ideology, who believs in a strong national defense could not possibly entertain the idea of voting for this man.

John Kerry, Fiscal Conservative
And, yes, they use their favorite word to describe John Kerry's policy proposal, the same word they loved to use when Howard Dean was their lovechild:
Yesterday at Georgetown University, Senator John Kerry delivered a forceful speech on the virtues of responsible budgeting. On top of his recent nuanced proposals on corporate taxes, Mr. Kerry's performance suggested he is starting to hit his stride in thinking and talking about the economy.
This is not the first, nor will it be the last, time the Times' will toot Kerry's horn.

Via DANEgerus
This is a great post via e-mail. I planned to write something similar but Dane beat me to it, and did it better. Via DANEgerus:
Can't you just hear the Nasally condescending tone of the Elitist:
"If the president can find time to throw out the first ball of the season, he can find the time to throw out the first efforts for real peace in the region, and I think it's long since overdue."-- JFingKerry(D)
It sounds like JFingKerry(D) is stuck in a slogan rut:
"We don't need a president who just says 'gentlemen, start your engines.' We need a president who says 'America, let's start the economy and put people back to work,"' -- JFingKerry(D)
Or...
"Condoleezza Rice can find time to do '60 Minutes' on television before the American people, She ought to find 60 minutes to speak to the commission under oath. We are talking about the security of our country." -- JFingKerry(D)
It seems to me the format is:
'Sarcastic condescending observation' + 'Cliche ridden spin' + 'sweeping generalization'
Let's try one shall we? ( try to imagine the Patrician Boston Accent )
If John Kerry is going to take so much time discussing 'outsourcing of American Jobs', he ought to have a word with the missus about the 57 Heinz plants overseas. That's no way to build America's future.
Or...
If John Kerry truly wants to limit government spending, he might have chosen to vote 'NO' rather then 'YES' on 350 burdensome tax increases in his 19 years in the Senate. Massive tax increases are no way to control the federal budget.
I know... it's really too easy... to clip the flip-flopper all you have to do is point out his contradictory statements...
Certainly the disdainful reference to 'Baseball' reminds us of his dismissal of the NASCAR crowd just a few weeks ago and the baseless platitude that the brief moment 'distracts from peace in the world' has that special flavor of JFingKerry(D) arrogance that I can't duplicate with the use of factual references. So too the JFKerry(D) spin on Condi was particularly loathesome as it in fact displayed his willful ignorance of the 'Separation of Powers' between the employee of the President, Condi of the Executive Branch, and the 911 Commission of the Legislative Branch.
To really capture JFingKerry(D)'s "style" you would have to be mean spirited enough to actually invent and spin with his special flavor of uber-wealthy-Old-Money-Haughty.

I received this e-mail today. I think it was a form e-mail, and not someone asking for a guest post. Take a look for yourself:
A far-left group feels that the entire world population ought to participate in our presidential election, since "it is not an exaggeration to say that the U.S. election is almost as important to citizens of other nations as it is to Americans." This outfit has taken it upon itself to open an online global polling station. The URL is: http://www.allvote.org/
This is being pushed by, among others, a hyperfeminist leftist who's a notorious dissident ex-nun:
http://www.nationalcatholicreporter.org/fwis/pc032304.htm
Americans who so little value their citizenship ought not go unchallenged. The results of this exercise are a foregone conclusion since it's being promoted heavily in far-left circles, and undoubtedly the numbers will be picked up and echoed endlessly in the coming months as "evidence" of the President's supposed foreign policy "failure." Perhaps Bush supporters (and those on the other side who value the quaint notion of sovereignty) could take a moment to
balance the scales a tad. Please share with anyone who may be interested.

Dick Morris on Kerry
Dick Morris, who knows a few things about elections, thinks Kerry is headed for a huge defeat.
More "nuance"
Get this latest crap from that pandering Kerry in Michigan. (At least he wasn't pandering to the anti-American Muslim faction there):
Kerry hits Bush on steel tariffs - but would not re-impose them
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry said Monday the White House should not have scrapped steep tariffs on foreign-made steel last year -- but would not put them back in place if he is elected.
Think about that for a second. Kerry said, Bush is a dead wrong, and I'll do exactly the same thing he is doing.

I don't know if the guy's an arab, Muslim, or what- but this bit on Kerry is a scream. Check it out: http://www.allahpundit.com/archives/000478.html
Keep up the good work.

I have been reading your website for quite some time and I love it. Thanks for everything you do. Today, John Kerry was in my town, Cincinnati, spewing his rhetoric all over town. Thought you would enjoy reading the story and listening/watching what he said today. Keep up the great work!

Kerry is not a simpleton; he is so very nuanced - he is the epitome of a "nuancer".
Kerry is so NUANCED because every timer you ask him the SAME question
you get a NEW-ANSWER!

It would be nice..
...if the "Catholic" John Kerry showed as much respect for the Catholic church he attended in Idaho as he does the non-Catholic churches he attends every other Sunday. You don't think he would actually show up at a predominantly African-American church in a skiing outfit do you?
He wife looks real happy to be there, doesn't she?
[Update: The Washington Times has an interesting article on Kerry and church attendance]

The Valiant Elephant points out to us a great fisking of John Kerry's "10 million jobs" claim, which can be found at one of our favorite blogs, Right-Thinking From The Left Coast.

Laugh of the day
These pictures might be Photoshopped. I'm not sure. You decide.
John Kerry - yeah, real likeable
Read this spot-on column from the brilliant Larry Elder. (Note to Liberals: DO NOT LOOK AT LARRY ELDER's PICTURE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO HE IS!!! Seeing an African-American columnist who has wandered off the liberal plantation may causes healt h problems that we at this blog hold no responsibility for.)
Bush vs. Kerry - a stark contrast
If you are one of the 9 regular readers of my main blog, then you have seen me ask this question:
"[If a pregnant woman is assaulted], how many victims are there, one or two? Your answer will define you."
My answer, as you know, is two. To John Kerry, the answer is one. Thankfully, for President Bush, the answer is two. Today, the President signed into law the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, with these remarks:
[A]ny time an expectant mother is a victim of violence, two lives are in the balance, each deserving protection, and each deserving justice. If the crime is murder and the unborn child's life ends, justice demands a full accounting under the law.
The moral concern of humanity extends to those unborn children who are harmed or killed in crimes against their mothers. And now, the protection of federal law extends to those children, as well. With this action, we widen the circle of compassion and inclusion in our society, and we reaffirm that the United States of America is building a culture of life.
John Kerry was one of the 38 Senators who voted against this act, which is disgusting on two levels. First, he voted against this simply for his own personal political gain with NARAL, NOW, and the other abortion promoters. (LIke I've said before, it has gone way past "protection of rights." It is full-fleged abortion promotion now) Second, he has missed so many votes over the last 9 months or so, for him to even show and and vote against this is disgraceful.
Read this page. Imagine how Kerry would react to it. He wouldn't. Now, image if Bush read it. There is no doubt in my mind he would be as upset about it as I was.
If you are a Kerry supporter despite this, why? Especially if you have children of your own.
