A few other things
- Kerry kept talking about "summits." Sure, the same type of do-nothing talk shop like the U.N. Just what we need.
- Someone please, once and for all, debunk the "buying body armor off the internet for birthday presents" crap. If Kerry was so cocerned, why did he vote against the funding?
- Bush made a great point about how, because we used force, we won't have to keep using it, by mentioning Libya.
- And, I really wish Bush said this: "The Senator might not think Iraq is the center of the war on terror, but the terrorists sure do."

The Debate
Here's my quick thoughts:
According to Kerry, if elected:
- Jacques Chirac will trust us again, just like DeGaulle did Kennedy.
- I'll treat Kim Jong-Il like an equal.
- I'm against multilateral negotiations when Bush is for them.
- I'll be against important weapons programs just like I have been my entire career.
- I won't upset the U.N.
- The world will be happier if I am here.
And:
- He mentioned his Vietnam service quite a few times without once saying the word "Vietnam."
- What exactly is the "global test?" Like the DeGaulle story, he will regret saying this.
Kerry did a hell of a job, I'll tell you that straight out. The problem is that he has zero credibility, and how could anyone trust anything he says? Nothing I heard either of them say was anything different than they have said a thousand times, except when Bush summed up Kerry's logic, that he would get the world to join us for the wrong war at the wrong place at the wrong time. That was terrific.
Kerry sounds great, looks Presidential, but is full of shit. I yelled at the TV when he now tried to say..hold on
SHOCKER!!! CBS radio is calling it "Kerry's night," and their instant poll has Kerry steamrolling Bush. Yeah, OK. Not one person has changed their mind. The American people are not stupid. They will not all of a sudden forget whay Kerry has and hasn't done in his career.
..anyway, I yelled at the TV when he spun his vote against the $87 billion as a "protest vote." Please.
Things I wish Bush had said, but I know he couldn't because he is the President:
"Hey Dickhead, Clinton signed an agreement with North Korea that they NEVER followed, that is why they have nuclear weapons!"
"Hey dope, we need that MOAB because everyone is hiding their nukes underground."
Instead of saying, "I know how the world works," I wish Bush had said, "The U.N. are a corrupt bunch of dirtbags who are trying to fuck as at every turn."
"So, is that your position tonight?"
"I see you wiped off your tan."
Seriously, he will regret that Global Test and DeGaulle story, bank on it. Really, he won't take pre-emptive test without a global test. Bush smacked him back wonderfully on that.
Bottom line: Kerry was Kerry and Bush was Bush. Kerry is a better speaker, and Bush is a better leader. You would have to be a real tool to all of a sudden support Kerry because he spoke well tonight. You'd have to forget that he had zero consistency, and forget that he is an internationalist first and foremost, and bad for national security.
One other thing: Bush never responded that we had bin Laden surrounded. I can't imagine we pulled back from a real chance to get him.

Iraq Massacre
Did you see what happened in Iraq today?
String of Baghdad Blasts Kill 35 Children
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A string of bombs killed 35 children and wounded scores of others as U.S. troops handed out candy Thursday at a government-sponsored celebration to inaugurate a sewage plant. It was the largest death toll of children in any insurgent attack since the start of the Iraq conflict.
Don't think for a second that tonight's debate had nothing to do with this. We are dealing with pure scum. I would not be surprised if Kerry found a way to work this in tonight as a way to bash Bush.

Open thread on tomorrow night's debate
Please comment early and often about your thoughts on tomorrow night's debate.
Another e-mail
A kind e-mailer named Jed sent this, saying, "Here's your hero."
Yes, it's Bush's Yale transcript. Wow!! Bush is dumb!! This proves it!! All you have to do is forget that he not only graduated from Yale, but that he went on to get an MBA from Harvard afterward too.
Funny how no one ever mentioned back in 2000 how Al Gore flunked out of Harvard Divinity and Vanderbilt Law School, and that Kerry went to law school at Boston College because he got rejected by Harvard.
One other thing: If Bush is so dumb, what does that say about all the Democrats he has been out-smarting for the last 10 years?

Via e-mail
I received this from someone who is either a teacher, or a student at a certain university in the great state of Virginia. I am withholding her name and school for reasons that will become obvious: Here's what she sent, and as always, my comments are in bold:
First, let me say, your webpage clearly expresses your distaste for John Kerry. I’m sure you feel like you’re helping to spread the “good word” and that your role in this world has become some how more significant, as a result of this page, but I’d like to help you sleep better at night by shedding some light your way. (I sleep just fine, but thanks anyway. And I'll sleep even better when Bush is re-elected. And, my role in the world ain't that big. We only get a 1000 hits a day. I do this because I believe in it. Besides, I'm having fun.)
I came across your webpage, by accident, while researching an article I wanted to show a fellow co-worker at the school I teach. The accident was in the key words my search picked up. You see, I read something about an individual who was a “world-class, two-faced, flip flopping dope, as well as a gaffe.” (And you are a teacher? "Gaffe" is not an adjective, it is a noun, with, appropriately, a French root. No wonder you are a Kerry supporter. You are a teacher who doesn't even understand simple English, and you want to keep your job without any accountability. The Democrats are stooges for the NEA. )But, once I clicked on your webpage I laughed out loud because I thought it was in regards to our current President. (What part of John Kerry for President? You Must Be Joking! confused you into thinking this was a Bush-bashing site?)
Anyway, allow me to clarify how your headline can easily be misconstrued. In regards to how “hilarious” you think this election is, I unfortunately don’t share in your humor. (You sound like a Kerry operative, crying about getting laughed at.) This election will determine the future of the failing U.S. economy, (The economy is failing? Get real.) healthcare, (You like the service at the DMV and post office, just wait until the government controls your health care. No thanks. As is, our system is the best in the world, by far. When Kofi Annan gets sick, he'll go to a New York hospital, not a Paris hospital. Bank on that) social security, (Bush's plan is good. Take an honest look at it.) college tuition rates,(State issue. Tell them to stop giving illegals in-state tuition) school classroom size, (No one has offered more money than Bush. And, who wrote most of No Child left Behind? That two-faced backstabbing scumbag Ted Kennedy.) and most apparent: the War in Iraq and U.S. International Relations. (International Relations is a two-way street. France says "agree with us or you are not being cooperative, and being unreasonable. Just like the Democrats. Sorry that you are forced to yearn for the good ol' days of Saddam's rule.) So, you see, the humor, low-jabs, and false accusations don’t matter once it’s all boiled down. You’re looking at George W. Bush’s Presidency and Campaign as one large pot of soup cooking on a stove. It looks good from a far, but no one really knows what it’s like until they get a taste. Get closer my fellow American, stir your way through and look at the concoction your President is brewing. (I expect that I'll be enjoying that soup until January 2009. You should do what what my Mom said when she made me eat broccoli: "Learn to like it.")
As far as the names you called Kerry, I find it odd because if you put Bush and Kerry side by side the “two-faced” man is obviously George (refer to his comment about world affairs and his purpose behind invading Iraq). The “flip-flopping” man is again Bush (refer to his stance on whether or not there will be a draft or not. He stated in U.S. and World News that if it came down to a draft he felt confident his fellow Americans would sign up first; so, will you?!)(Draft? Never happen. If you do some research, you'll say that only Democrats are sponsoring legislation to return the draft. It is scare-mongering. Run that crap elsewhere.) And yes, last but not least, you called Kerry a “gaffe”. (A noun, not an adjective. See above.)Let us just skim this comparison because it’s all on the surface. Bush is much more of a public display of entertainment, for it is a fact once strongly affiliated countries used to have respect for the United States. But ever since that frat-boy took office those same countries can’t stop laughing at him and people like you. For me, this isn’t funny. I (along with millions of Americans) believe the comedy act should come to an end! The only thing Bush will win on November 2 is last comic standing. (I have a trivia question for you: When Jacques Chirac, the man whose approval you so deeply desire, said, "The position of the leader of the free world is vacant," who was he talking about? Not Bush. He was referring to Bill Clinton. Bush, Clinton, whoever. It doesn't matter. The world only loves us when we are dying, like their bullshit "support" right after 9/11. They go back to hating us when we fight back. They are gutless wussies who are so corrupt and inept, all they can do is blame us for everything. Go ask Gerhard Schroeder how that is working out these days. I don't see anyone dying to leave here, but I sure see a lot of people dying trying to get in the U.S.
Bottom line: Kerry is a joke, and we are glad to point that out every day. Perhaps our e-mailer is the victim of liberal groupthink. You know the type. They sit together, waiting in line for 90 minutes to eat at a restaurant, complaining that the economy is in the toilet. They piss and moan about Bush's "tax cuts for the rich" while they are already planning on how they'll use their tax refund to go on a Hawaiian vacation. They think that the only appropriate mention of God is when they are in the act of creating a baby that they are going to abort anyway. Teachers complain about how the education system is a mess, and it is Bush's fault, while they send their own children to private school. These same teachers are also upset about poverty while not supporting school vouchers, which would allow children whose parents are poor attend some of the same private schools their kids do. These same liberals who are upset about a few Iraqi scumbags having underwear put on their heads, yet did not give one damn while innocent Iraqis were being out in the shredders and having their tongues cut out and their arms cut off. They said Bush lied about WMD's yet forget that Kerry, Clinton, Gore, Kennedy, the U.N. all said the same thing over and over again the last 10 years.
They take everything anti-Bush as a given, like water is wet, without taking one second to examine their beliefs. The funniest thing? They act like they are the mainstream while their belief system can't win jack at the polls, and their party has been getting their asses kicked everywhere. (Hell, even Taxachussetts has a Republican governor) I almost feel sorry for liberals. Almost.

Hilarious Headline of the Day
From CNN:
Bush apparently leads Kerry in pre-debate poll
(CNN) -- Headed into their first face-to-face debate, President Bush appears to be leading Democratic Sen. John Kerry among likely voters, with a clearer edge among registered voters.
The CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll shows that among likely voters, Bush was the choice of 52 percent, while Kerry was the choice of 44 percent and independent Ralph Nader garnered 3 percent. That result was within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
In the broader category of registered voters, 53 percent supported Bush; 42 percent, Kerry; and 3 percent, Nader. That question had the same margin of error.
In a related CNN story, the Philadelphia Eagles apparently are 3-0.

The Ultimate John Kerry Ad
Make sure your sound is on and click here. Nice work by Mark Simone.
Kerry can kiss Ohio goodbye too
Take a look at the crowd who showed up to see Bush in Ohio today. Over 50,000 people!!
Kerry has spent as much (if not more) time in Ohio as Bush, and not once has he drawn anything close to that. If he did, we would never hear the end of it from the lapdog media. Ohio is proof-positive that the more people see Kerry, the more they don't like him.
As far as I am concerned, Kerry's embarrassing midnight rally after Bush's acceptance speech doomed Kerry in Ohio.

A reminder
This blog is run by 6 guys who have ZIP, ZERO, NADA, SQUATTA, NOTHING to do with the Bush campaign or the Republican Party. We haven't made dime one from doing this. We do it because we realize how important it is that Bush be re-elected and that John Kerry and his liberal agenda get swamped at the polls this November. Plus, John Kerry, through his own words and actions, has earned every bit of scorn, mockery, and derision he has received from this site. And it wil continue right up until Bush is re-elected on November 2nd.
As you all know, oppossing viewpoints are welcome here. The problem is, all the e-mails we get do nothing but mock Bush. I have not received one e-mail in the last 6 weeks or so that has contained an honest defense of Kerry or his policies. That is because he can't be honestly defended, and you donkey dopes who nominated him know it even better than we do.
Rejoice, however, my liberal friends. You'll have 4 more years of Bush-bashing.

Kerry appeals for end to election advertising war
SPRING GREEN, United States (AFP) - Democratic presidential challenger John Kerry appealed for an end to the TV advertising war that has marked his election battle against President George W. Bush.
Well, of course he does. He is getting his ass kicked by every ad out there. The Swift Boats, Windsurfing, Flip-Flopping, etc. have beat his campaign to a pulp.
Think about it. Bush has had quite a few memorable ads. Has there been one memorable anti-Bush ad? (Excluding the MoveOn.og Bush is Hitler ad of course)

Bush Mocks Kerry for 'Changing Positions' on Iraq
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (Reuters) - President Bush on Monday mocked his Democratic rival John Kerry for shifting his positions on Iraq so many times he could "debate himself" in this week's face-off between the two candidates.
Kerry response:
Kerry responded that with American soldiers' lives on the line in Iraq, it was no time for jokes.
"When U.S. soldiers are in harm's way, the American people don't want jokes and fantasy spin from their president, they want to hear the truth," he said in a statement issued from Spring Green, Wisconsin where he is preparing for the debate.
Last week, after Bush unveiled the "Windsurfing" ad:
“1,000 US casualties. Two Americans beheaded just this week. The Pentagon admits terrorists are pouring into Iraq. In the face of the Iraq quagmire, George Bush runs a juvenile and tasteless attack ad.”
and
Mike McCurry, a senior spokesman for Kerry, demanded that Bush pull the ''shameful" ad off the airwaves, accusing the president of taking a ''lighthearted approach to the war in Iraq."
''Mr. President, this is a shameful advertisement that shows a disturbing disregard for those fighting and sacrificing in Iraq, and you should repudiate it immediately," McCurry said in a statement.
See a pattern here? The auto-response used to be, "I served in Vietnam." Now, its "Iraq is a disaster."
The only disaster here is the Kerry campaign.

Laugh of the weekend
Headline of the day
Over the brilliant Mark Steyn's column:
Kerry's looking for American failure -- and he's it
Some tasty tidbits:
- Kerry didn't show up for Allawi's visit to Washington -- he was in Ohio again, which is evidently becoming the proverbial Vietnam-type quagmire for him.
- Kerry finds himself a month before the election with no platform to run on other than American defeat. He has decided to co-opt the jihadist death-cult, the Baathist dead-enders, the suicide bombers and other misfits and run as the candidate of American failure. This would be shameful if he weren't so laughably inept at it.
- If he wasn't ''finished'' after graduating from the Institut Montana in Zug in 1955, this week John Kerry is looking finished in a far more American sense.

Your advice needed
I receieved this e-mail a few minutes ago. I feel this guy's pain. Although I now live in Albuquerque, NM (and Phoenix, AZ for 2 days a week), I grew up in Philly and South Jersey, and know all about this:
Hi,
I'm a student at Rutgers University, and I'm sick of all this Anti-Bush posters and stickers around here. I'm in the process of making hundreds of copies of Anti-Kerry posters to put around the city of New Brunswick. (If you heard in the news, NJ is evenly divided on who to vote for in the coming election). Could I use you information on your site, and could you help me on how to make an effective message to post around the city? Thanks a lot,

This site is wide-open for linking, and anything else you can glean from it to help defeat John Kerry. While our site is dedicated to mocking that dope leftist scumbag, also remember that we are also supporting Bush, and are really voting for him, not against Kerry, if you understand my meaning.
Friends, offer up your insight for our suffering pal at Rutgers:
Here's a few talking points for you:
Liberal: "Saddam didn't have WMD. Bush lied."
Response: "You mean he didn't have them other than the 10 times he used them, right? And, since Kerry, Clinton, Gore screamed for years that Saddam had WMD, and the U.N. passed over a dozen resolutions demanding he disarm, you also think they lied too, right?"
Liberal: "Bush can't win. He'll make Clarence Thomas Chief Justice!"
Response: "So what?"
Liberal: "He's unqualified!!"
Response: "Just think of it as affirmative action. That should make you feel better."
Liberal: "The Swift Boats are liars!! His crewmates know he's a hero."
Response: "Let's see: 264 against Kerry, and 2 supporting him. yeah, it's a real conspiracy, especially since the leader of the Swifties supported John Edwards!"
Liberal: "The Republicans want to take away our civil liberties!"
Response: "Let's see: Kerry sent out a cadre of lawyers to stop the Swifties TV ads and book, threatening everyone. How many lawyers did Bush sent out to stop Farenheit 911? And, who exactly has Bush tried to silence? And, who exactly is afraid of speaking out against Bush?"
And my favorite:
To liberal: "So, I should take Bush's advice when he said, "If You Don’t Believe Saddam Hussein Is A Threat With Nuclear Weapons, Then You Shouldn’t Vote For Me."'"
Liberal's guaranteed response: "Oh, yeah, you should take his advice."
Your response: "Uh, Bush didn't say that. John Kerry said it."

Hi,
I'm a student at Rutgers University, and I'm sick of all this Anti-Bush posters and stickers around here. I'm in the process of making hundreds of copies of Anti-Kerry posters to put around the city of New Brunswick. (If you heard in the news, NJ is evenly divided on who to vote for in the coming election). Could I use you information on your site, and could you help me on how to make an effective message to post around the city? Thanks a lot,
Christian

A reality check from Jeff:
I ran the numbers on Iraq. I just wanted to see how we are doing
compared to other wars.
At the current rate of loss in Iraq it will take us* 84* years *72*
days
to match the number of deaths in Vietnam.

Reality Bites (If You're a Kerry Supporter)
This should tell you all you need to know about the state of the Kerry campaign:
Kerry Pulls Campaign Ads From Four States
WASHINGTON - Bowing to political realities, Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has canceled plans to begin broadcasting television commercials in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana and the perennial battleground of Missouri.
The other day, my law school classmate at UNM showed me some website that called Arkansas "Exactly Tied" and has Arizona "Barely Bush." That is all you need to know about the credibility of that website.
If Kerry is pulling out of those states, that you know he is finished in each of them. His people don't have the luxury of relying on biased polling.

Something to consider about the CBS Panel
Put this thought away for future reference. Via Professor Bainbridge.
VDH - Man of Brilliance
Man (or Woman) of Brilliance is the highest compliment we pay here. Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, Michelle Malkin are just a few examples. VDH offers this terrific column, which is today's required reading:
The U.N.? Who Cares?
The line of the article, referring to Bush's speech at the U.N. earlier this week:
For Mr. Bush to talk to such folk about the need to spread liberty means removing from power, or indeed jailing, many of the oppressors sitting in his audience.

What Liberal Media?
Notice these headlines:
From the AP: CBS Names Panel to Probe Bush Guard Story
From the New York "Once Upon A" Times: CBS Names Panel to Investigate Guard Story
From ABC: CBS Names Panel to Probe Bush Guard Story
CBS News Appoints Dick Thornburgh, Louis Boccardi to Probe Story on Bush's Nat'l Guard Service
An honest headline would have read: "CBS Names Panel to Investigate Itself After Airing Fraudulent Bush Documents."
Yeah, that liberal media. Circling the wagons to protect each other.

The Hillary Factor
For a while now, many people have speculated that the Clinons would subvert the campaign of whatever Democrat won the nomination, in order to have Hillary run for an open seat in 2008. Not that Kerry has needed any help to torpedo his campaign, but the actions of the Clinton's stooge Terry McAullife lately really makes you wonder. From Dick Morris' latest column:
How did the Democrats end up in such a mess? Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe is to blame. It was he who decided to frontload the primaries to produce an early winner. Kerry got the nomination without any real audition. There was never a chance to road-test his candidacy or even to refine his message on a national stage.
McAuliffe is perhaps the biggest loser in the Democrat Party. What a scumbag.

Thomas Sowell - Man of Brilliance
Thomas Sowell offers another terrific column, this one about John Kerry's "Blank Resume."
Read the whole thing.
He ends with this interesting thought:
How many times must John Kerry insult our intelligence before the voters get it? Incidentally, have you noticed how both the Democrats and the liberal media avoid referring to him as "Senator"? Using that title would raise the awkward question of what John Kerry has actually done in the Senate. Not much.

You must watch this
Bush's new ad, called "Windsurfing." Brilliant.
More shamelessness from Kerry
This is pure bullshit:
Kerry: Draft Likely to Return Under Bush
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry citing the war in Iraq and other trouble spots in the world, raised the possibility Wednesday that a military draft could be reinstated if voters re-elect President Bush.
Kerry said he would not bring back the draft and questioned how fairly it was administered in the past.
Answering a question about the draft that had been posed at a forum with voters, Kerry said: "If George Bush were to be re-elected, given the way he has gone about this war and given his avoidance of responsibility in North Korea and Iran and other places, is it possible? I can't tell you."
What a lying sack of shit. First, he should go read the Constitution. Only Congress has the power "to raise armies." And, the only people who have introduced any kind of bill for a draft are Democrats Charles Rangel and the hero of Farenheit 911 "Baghdad" Jim McDermott.
The draft would be the death knell for any politican's career, and they know. Besides, our armed forces don't want conscripts.
Pure fear mongering from Kerry, aided and abetted by his lapdogs in the press.
And it ain't just him. It's now a Democrat talking point.

Remember I said this
2 years from now, Bush will still be here, while Jacques Chirac, Gerhard Schroeder, and Kofi Annan will be gone. Chirac and Annan (along with Annan's son Kojo) all belong in prison. Sadly, tehy'll be living high on the hog with all of their filthy lucre, obtained with the blood of countless people.
No wonder...
...Kerry is so interested in world opinion. The are the ones supporting and financing him. Get this:
AP: Kerry Fund-Raisers Met With S. Korean
(The headline is missing a vital bit of info.)
WASHINGTON - A South Korean man who met with John Kerry's fund-raisers to discuss creating a new political group for Korean-Americans was an intelligence agent for his country, raising concerns among some U.S. officials that either he or his government may have tried to influence this fall's election.
South Korean officials and U.S. officials told The Associated Press that Chung Byung-Man, a consular officer in Los Angeles, actually worked for South Korea's National Intelligence Service.
A spokesman for the South Korean consulate office said Chung was sent home in May amid "speculation" he became involved with the Kerry campaign and Democratic Party through contacts with fund-raiser Rick Yi and that his identity couldn't be discussed further.
Maybe Kerry secretly likes Kobe Tai videos. (Not that there is anything wrong with that) He has a serious fascination with partaking in underhanded dealings with Asians. Vietnamese Commies, Chinese espionage agents, and now South Koreans. Of course, his story will go nowhere. (By the way, what ever happened to that "Israeli spy working on Iraq policy" story? That sure faded quick, and I suspect for different reasons than why this Kerry and the Korean story will be gone in a day.)
Think about all of this for a minute. Kerry has no qualms with granting influence to foreigners. And, he thinks that the British, Italians, Poles, and Aussies, amongst others, are "fraudulent," but wants these guys to help in Iraq:
Twelve French soldiers on peacekeeping duties in Ivory Coast have been arrested in connection with a bank theft there last week.
The troops had been assigned to protect a branch of the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) and were charged with stealing $120,000 (100,000 euros).
French military spokesman Colonel Henry Aussavy said the accused soldiers were being sent home to face French justice.
More than 4,000 French troops are serving alongside UN peacekeepers.
Yeah, we really need France in Iraq.

Journalistic Laughter
While reading my hometown (even though I live 1900 miles away now) rag, the Philadelphia Daily News, I laughed my ass of after reading these lines:
Kerry, who frankly has been mealy-mouthed on the subject, this week finally came through with a cogent and compelling vision for how he would win the peace in Iraq.
and
Kerry has finally come out with a realistic plan. As for President Bush?
Gee, what a surprise. After all, the Philly Daily News proudly reminds everyone every chance they get that they were the first paper in the country to endorse John Kerry, calling him a "serious man for serious times." If there were a honest newspaper, they'd have summed up Kerry's NYU speech like this:
"Kerry proposed many of the things that Bush is already doing. He promised to kiss France and Germany's ass, and proclaimed that they would be involved if Bush only asked nicer. Kerry thinks that Kofi Annan is a man of honor and decency, and is better situated to solve the world's problems than Bush is. And, Kerry thinks the world knows better than we do, despite a long history that would convince any reasonable person to conclude otherwise."
If Kerry keeps this position, no sure thing with his record, he'll give America a clear choice this November 2nd. Either embrace Kerry's pessimism and defeatism, or support Bush's positivism. You already know where we at this blog stand, and I expect America to stand with Bush 41 days from today.

Star Wars Trilogy on DVD
P.T. Barnum would have loved George Lucas. When Lucas released the Star Wars Trilogy on VHS, I bought it. When he re-released it with TXH sound, I bought it. When he re-released all 3 in the theaters in 1997, I went to see them all. When he released the re-edited versions on VHS, I bought them. My first purchase on eBay was the Chinese sub-titles DVD's, bought from a guy in Hong Kong. Now, Lucas has finally been kind enough to allow me to fork over another $40 to buy the triolgy on DVD. And, I must tell you, these are worth every damn penny.
I could not sleep tonight because I knew Wal-Mart would be selling them at midnight, so I got out of bed and bought the set. The bonus features are top-notch. The 9-minute segment on the evolution of Darth Vader and and the documentary on the making of Star Wars are both terrific. The best part is hearing David Prowse, the actor who filled the Darth Vader costume, speaking the Vader lines before James Earl Jones' voice was overdubbed. Simply hilarious.
I wasn't the only one who could not wait. There were 2 registers open, and when I got in line to pay, I counted 6 people in front of me. All were buying the trilogy. Half of the display was already gone, and I bought my set at about 12:20 a.m. Lucas is sitting at the Skywalker Ranch and laughing his ass off at dopes like me. But, in the spirit of capitalism, to paraphrase a line from Star Wars, "Who's the more foolish? The fool who charges you for the same thing over and over again, or the fool who pays it over and over again?"
What does this have to do with John Kerry? Well, he would have called Han Solo a cowboy, Obi-Wan a war monger, and demanded that we reach out to Darth Vader and address the root causes of his anger. He would have called Jabba the Hut a statesman, and would have offered fuel for the Death Star. He would have said Yoda mislead the Rebellion into war, and that Admiral Ackbar led a fraudulent coalition who rushed to war against The Galactic Empire. He would have complained that the Ewoks have inadequate health care and that if Luke and his friends just stayed on Tatooine, The Empire would have never attacked. He would have threatened to arrest Governor Tuck and threatened to impose sanctions on the Empire for its destruction of Alderaan.
Or, he would have been C-3PO. Robotic and a naysayer about everything.
(You have a better Kerry-Star Wars analogy? Let's hear it in the comments.)

Kerry to Saddam: You was done wrong mon ami
Get the opening part of this AP story:
NEW YORK - Staking out new ground on Iraq,
Ha! Must be this week's "new ground." I just loved how they spun his flip-flopping. Back to the story:
NEW YORK - Staking out new ground on IraqSen. John Kerry said Monday he would not have overthrown Saddam Hussein had he been in the White House, and he accused President Bush of "stubborn incompetence," dishonesty and colossal failures of judgment. Bush said Kerry was flip-flopping.
I'm sure those leftist dirtbags at NYU loved that. But, really, does Kerry and his latest band of advisors really think he can just keep throwing out things until something sticks? Someone needs to tell him he isn't running for the Democrat nomination anymore. The only plausible explanation for this nonsense is that Kerry's people are insecure about their base.
If you are a Kerry supporter, then read this Michael Moore pep talk that should help you feel better.
One other thing. Tonight, Michael Moore spoke in Camden, NJ, and a great friend of mine who has lost his marbles went to see him. At the same time, our Philadelphia Eagles were playing the Vik-Queens on Monday Night Football. You must be a real jerkoff to go see Michael Moore instead of watching the Eagles game. While my friend Mike isn't a jerkoff, he surely was surrounded by them tonight.

Caption Contest 2
My friends, put your creative minds to work.
Hmmm..what's missing here
If you are an African-American, tell me again why you give 90% of your vote to the Democrats. Take a look at this:
Undated file photos of possible members of a John Kerry presidential Cabinet. Top row, from left are, former Colorado Sen. Gary Hart; former Georgia Sen. max Cleland; Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack; former Vermont Gov. Jeanne Shaheen and jamie Gorelick. Bottom row, from left are, Sen. maria Cantwell, D-Wash.; former North carolina Gov. Jim Hunt; Rep. Richard Gephardt, D-Mo.; former United Nations Ambassador Richard Holbrooke and retired Gen. Merrill McPeak. (AP Photo/Files)
You mean there is not one, NOT ONE African-American qualified enough to be seriously considered? Wise up my friends. Stop listening to the race-baiters and the race-profiteers like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP leadership, Elijah Cummings, Charles Rangel, etc and seriously consider joining a party that will give qualified individuals real power, opportunity, and respect.

Still think the CBS documents were real?
If this doesn't convince you they are fake, they you are a bigger dope than that guy who e-mailed me a few posts back. And he was a HUGE dope.
E-mail of the day
As always, opposing viewpoints are welcome and posted here. We don't sick our team of lawyers on dissenting opinions like good ol' Johnny does. I got this unsigned e-mail yesterday:
The heading of the e-mail:
Interesting Site full of massive distortions and Republican Misrepresentations - We all know Nixon, I mean Republican's do not lie
Nixon? He's been dead for 11 years or so now. What does he have to do with anything? The body of the e-mail, and, as usal, my comments are in bold.:
Hey Buddy,
You are about one more year of W away from another great depression. (Great Depression? If my Grandma were alive today, she'd smack you in the face for saying that.) In
fact, it's the reason I'm voting for poor George. I figure four more years
of this guy and we won't have to hear from Republicans for another 50 years
(Read Coolidge/Hoover). (Uh, it was 20 years, actually. FDR was elected in 1932, and Eisenhower was elected in 1952. But, I'd love to hear someone explain how FDR got us out of the Great Depression, because any honest look at history will tell you he worsened it and extended it for a lot longer than it had to be. What started the Depression? The Smoot-Hawley tariff, very similar to the protectionist policies the Democrats advocate today. And, will someone tell me one instance of where higher taxation stimulated the economy? I wish the economy was shit sometimes. Then I wouldn't have to wait 2 hours to eat at P.F. Chang's)
Explain this to me - How can you be for a guy (unless you blame Bill
Clinton) who has the country 6 trillion dollar in debt, lost over 900,000
jobs in four years, squandered our chance to get Bin Laden by going into
Iraq, the list goes on and on. This guy is a disaster and you can't come to
terms with it. (6 trillion? Wow!!! Why not say a zillion doallars while you're at it? Bin Laden is dead, by the way.)
I read a sign the other day, "Boots or Flip-Flops," a Dick and Bush sign.
Are you guys serious, a guy who actually wore boots and bleed for the
country in Vietnam or two guys who gained deferments and light duty at best. (You mean the same guy who openly admitted he committed war crimes and slandered our troops then, just as he still does today?)
By the way, I agree that Kerry's voting record in the Senate is fair game;
but, distorting it and misrepresenting it is not. (Maybe you're right. Since Kerry has ZERO Senate record, to discuss it would distort that truth. Name me one thing he has accomplished in 19 years there?)
So, we have a President who stole the last election and is no doing whatever
unethical thing he can do this time to finally get elected. And people
wonder why I can't be a Republican. (Yeah, OK. The only instance of vote suppression in the 2000 election was when Gore tried to discount military ballots over a postmark. Show me proof of how 1 million blacks were disenfranchised. Not an accusation, proof. You have none.)
Look I do not have to listen to what W says, I just have to read his lips.
I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree. (His Dad stupidly thought he could work with the Democrats, that he was being a "uniter," and signed their tax bill, and lost the election over it. Unlike Democrats, who don't care if Democrats lie, Republicans hold their own accountable. That's why Perot got 19% of the vote, allowing Clinton to win with 43% of the vote)
Please still vote for Bush, regardless of your reason.
The heading of the e-mail:
Interesting Site full of massive distortions and Republican Misrepresentations - We all know Nixon, I mean Republican's do not lie
Nixon? He's been dead for 11 years or so now. What does he have to do with anything? The body of the e-mail, and, as usal, my comments are in bold.:
Hey Buddy,
You are about one more year of W away from another great depression. (Great Depression? If my Grandma were alive today, she'd smack you in the face for saying that.) In
fact, it's the reason I'm voting for poor George. I figure four more years
of this guy and we won't have to hear from Republicans for another 50 years
(Read Coolidge/Hoover). (Uh, it was 20 years, actually. FDR was elected in 1932, and Eisenhower was elected in 1952. But, I'd love to hear someone explain how FDR got us out of the Great Depression, because any honest look at history will tell you he worsened it and extended it for a lot longer than it had to be. What started the Depression? The Smoot-Hawley tariff, very similar to the protectionist policies the Democrats advocate today. And, will someone tell me one instance of where higher taxation stimulated the economy? I wish the economy was shit sometimes. Then I wouldn't have to wait 2 hours to eat at P.F. Chang's)
Explain this to me - How can you be for a guy (unless you blame Bill
Clinton) who has the country 6 trillion dollar in debt, lost over 900,000
jobs in four years, squandered our chance to get Bin Laden by going into
Iraq, the list goes on and on. This guy is a disaster and you can't come to
terms with it. (6 trillion? Wow!!! Why not say a zillion doallars while you're at it? Bin Laden is dead, by the way.)
I read a sign the other day, "Boots or Flip-Flops," a Dick and Bush sign.
Are you guys serious, a guy who actually wore boots and bleed for the
country in Vietnam or two guys who gained deferments and light duty at best. (You mean the same guy who openly admitted he committed war crimes and slandered our troops then, just as he still does today?)
By the way, I agree that Kerry's voting record in the Senate is fair game;
but, distorting it and misrepresenting it is not. (Maybe you're right. Since Kerry has ZERO Senate record, to discuss it would distort that truth. Name me one thing he has accomplished in 19 years there?)
So, we have a President who stole the last election and is no doing whatever
unethical thing he can do this time to finally get elected. And people

Weekend Fun
Caption Contest. Winner gets, well, nothing:
Have at it.
Have at it.
Told you so
Did I, or did I not, tell you that Ted Kennedy is poison for Kerry in Pennsylvania?
Get this:
Kennedy won't campaign for Kerry in our area after all
NANTICOKE: The death of Mary Jo Kopechne comes up as a possible reason.
First, Ted was coming. Now, he's not.
U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy will stump for presidential candidate John Kerry in Harrisburg and perhaps Pittsburgh tomorrow, but he won't swing through Northeastern Pennsylvania.
A hinted stop in Nanticoke by the liberal Massachusetts Democrat is off the itinerary, according to Kennedy's spokesman.
On Wednesday, local officials heard Kennedy would be in the area to campaign for Kerry, the other Massachusetts senator. By midday, the visit had fizzled.
"Senator Kennedy will not be in Northeastern Pennsylvania on Friday," said Kerry campaign spokesman Mark Nevins, confirming a local visit had been discussed, but not finalized.
Carole Lewis, director of the Luzerne County Area Agency on Aging, said she received a phone call Wednesday morning from someone asking permission for Kennedy to visit the Nanticoke Senior Center to discuss senior health care issues.
"We were just asked if he could come and speak about it, because he is a sitting official and health care is something our seniors really care about," Lewis said. "But it wasn't long after that when someone called back and said that it had been canceled."
Also, one source close to the Kerry campaign said the Kennedy visit to Nanticoke was a "done deal" as of Tuesday night.
The source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the event was canceled by early Wednesday, soon after news reports of the visit surfaced.
Although no reason has been given for the cancellation, it's possible that Kennedy's ties to the area still haunt him.
Kennedy became forever entwined with the Wyoming Valley on July 18, 1969, when the car he was driving plunged off Dike Bridge into a pond on Chappaquiddick Island, Mass. His passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, a Forty Fort native and Democratic campaign worker, drowned.
Those memories stick with area residents, said one source.
"I think people who were Kerry supporters told the campaign that they were crazy to bring Kennedy here. If he comes, it's going to be a negative, black mark for Kerry."
Kerry's sister, Peggy Kerry, will visit Hanover Township on Sunday as an attendee of Luzerne County District Attorney David Lupas' annual Fall Gathering at the Catholic War Veterans Grove.
Kennedy is scum, pure and simple. And outside of Taxachussetts, he's lower than dog shit.

Kerry is a gutless worm
Why didn't Kerry say any of this bullshit yesterday when he was in front of the National Guard in Las Vegas? After all, wouldn't they be affected the most if this was true?
Kerry Accuses Bush of Hiding Troops Plan
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Democratic Sen. John Kerry on Friday accused the Bush administration of hiding a plan to mobilize more National Guard and Reserve troops after the election while glossing over a worsening conflict in Iraq.
"He won't tell us what congressional leaders are now saying, that this administration is planning yet another substantial call-up of reservists and Guard units immediately after the election," Kerry said. "Hide it from people through the election, then make the move."
Sadly, I live in Albuquerque and Kerry has left a real stench in my adopted hometown. But, really, I am wrong here? If he was going to accuse Bush of doing something that will seriously affect the National Guard, shouldn't they be the audience he makes this "announcement" to?
There is a reason the National Guard recieved him rather coldly. They, the people who will do the dirty work, know exactly who Kerry is and what he is about. If you are a Kerry supporter, aslk yourself why are supporting such a gutless two-faced dirtbag, who is morally bankrupt.

Is there a bigger tool...
...Alan Colmes? No wonder Hannity has 420 stations and 2 best-sellers, while COlmes has a show on 10 affiliates (and needs Fox News Radio to get them) and a book that bombed.
I was just watching Colmes try to defend Kerry and Oliver North and Hannity couldn't contain their laughter. Colmes is a dope.

Talking to the pollsters
As I have said many times, I think polls are mostly crap, so I only menton them to mock them. But today, I checked the Rasmussen polling because they called me last night here in New Mexico, and I spoke to the guy for 5 minutes. I'll just give you this question and answer. It's all you need to know:
Pollster: "On a scale from 1 to 4, but 1 being the highest and 4 being the lowest, how would you rate John Kerry?"
Me: "9"
They also asked about Heather Wilson, our Republican congresswoman running for re-election. of course I'll be voting for her too.

More old liberal media tomfoolery
Get this howler from the always relaible Los Angeles Times, on the front page no less:
Long a Republican Bulwark, a Growing Arizona Is in Play
Now look at this, buried in the 18th paragraph:
A poll taken for the Arizona Republic and released last week showed Bush ahead of Kerry, 54% to 38%. In contrast, the newspaper's polls in August and June had Bush ahead of Kerry by just 3 percentage points, a lead within the survey's margin of error.
How hilarious is that? Take a look at the writer's name:

CFR has come to this
New organization pokes fun at Kerry’s football fumbles — like ‘Lambert Field’
WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry has a new political attack group to contend with.
Two Washington-based lawyers supporting President Bush’s re-election have registered an advocacy group, Football Fans for Truth, as a Section 527 organization allowed to accept unlimited political donations. They plan to publicize Kerry’s recent sports misstatements such as his reference to the home of the Green Bay Packers as “Lambert Field” instead of Lambeau Field.
Other gaffes they hope to bring wider attention to include Kerry’s talk of the Buckeyes — the nickname of Ohio State University’s team — while campaigning in University of Michigan Wolverine territory.
Lawyers Jeff Larroca and Dino Panagopoulos, both members of the law firm Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, said in a conference call Wednesday they have no plans to raise large amounts of cash.
Instead, they hope to get free publicity from sports talk radio and other media.
“Our goal is to basically find ways to get out the political humor about John Kerry’s unsuitability to be sportsman-in-chief,” Larroca said.
Hil-f'n-larious!! I need to start Philadelphia Eagles fans against rich men who marry heiresses and run for President!
By the way, Kerry starting tanking in the Wisconsin polls after calling the frozen tundra, "Lambert Field." Coincidence? I think not. Packers fans are good people, and you can't get away with that shit on them.

We got listed
We are listed on the Campaigns and Elections Political Blog Directory under Republicans. (Thanks guys!!) Here's how they describe us:
This humor oriented blog pokes fun at John Kerry through caricatured illustrations and photographs, but also takes a stab at its own brand of opposition research
I like that description a ton. They witfully allude to our saying that "Kerry writes this blog for us."

...or The New York Times? Read this hilarious, ridiculous, and idiotic headline:
Memos on Bush Are Fake but Accurate, Typist Says
Just think about that for a minute. They're fake, but since they say what the Times wants them to say, they'll find other ways to make them real.
Astonishing. Just astonishing.

MoveOn.org tomfoolery
We all know MoveOn.org is a lying sack outfit, so we here at this blog don't comment too much on them. However, I had to mention this ad those dopes are running:
Announcer: This is an assault weapon. It can fire up to 300 rounds a minute. It’s the weapon most feared by our police. In the hands of terrorists it could kill hundreds. That’s why they’re illegal. John Kerry, a sportsman and a hunter, would keep them illegal.
But on Sept. 13th, George Bush will let the assault weapon ban expire. George Bush says he’s making America safer. Who does he think he’s kidding?
MoveonPAC is responsible for the content of this advertisement.
Somebody needs to send them back to the 6th Grade to learn how our system works. How exactly did Bush "let" the ban expire? Congress didn't even bother to send him a bill to sign. If it was so important to extend this ban, why didn't Kerry go to work for once and introduce legislation extending it?
By the way, thanks to The Viking Pundit, here's Kerry's attemdance record this year:
Days worked: 4
Votes missed: 155 / 172 = 90.1%
Yearly salary of a U.S. Senator: $154,700
Money earned for each day of work so far: $38,675
Number of paychecks Kerry has returned to the Senate: 0

This is great news
It seems that the ol' drunken bastard is hitting the stump for Kerry:
Kennedy to Hit Campaign Trail for Kerry
WASHINGTON - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, often credited with giving a boost to John Kerry's presidential campaign, is launching a seven-week election drive for his Massachusetts colleague that will pair fund raising and travel with a barrage of speeches condemning President Bush's policies.
Kennedy, D-Mass., will make two campaign stops in Pennsylvania on Friday, in addition to appearances around the country nearly every weekend as a surrogate for Kerry. While the Senate remains in session, Kennedy plans almost daily rebukes of Bush's policies, ranging from the war in Iraq to health care and education.
Bush will be up 5-8 points in Pennsylvania before Teddy's flight back to D.C. clears Pa. airspace. Teddy might have helped Francois in the primaries, but Ted Kennedy is poison almost everywhere else. I hope Teddy gets a lot of media coverage. And I mean a lot.

I'd actually like to see this
There is a new film about John Kerry that I'd love to see, just for comic value alone. First, the shockingly honest headline from the Inernational Herald Tribune, owned and operated by the New York Times:
Film on Kerry blurs line between war documentary and ad
The Times Headline is this: Film Walks Line Between Kerry Ad and War Documentary
TORONTO, Sept. 13 - The premiere on Tuesday night of a sympathetic documentary about Senator John Kerry stakes out new territory at the crossroads of politics and cinema: will audiences pay to see what amounts to a two-hour political tribute to a man spotlighted free on the news every night? Can a theatrically released feature film create last-minute momentum for a presidential candidate? Could the effort boomerang?
Those questions, similar to ones raised by Michael Moore's anti-Bush documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11," loom large as "Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry," directed by a longtime friend of Mr. Kerry, George Butler, makes its debut at the Toronto Film Festival, with the window for finding out the answers excruciatingly small. The film will open in 200 theaters on Oct. 1, less than five weeks before the election.
People actually paid to see Gigli, so I am quite sure some people will pay to see this. (I won't. I'll wait for the free DVD) Of course, not many people paid to see Gigli, and neither will many people pay to see this. Read on:
Acquired just six weeks ago by ThinkFilm, based in Canada, "Going Upriver" has shifted in content and story line almost daily. Three weeks ago, the film was far different, before the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth emerged to attack Senator Kerry's wartime record, the filmmakers said.
"George took a hatchet to the film," said Mark Urman, the head of distribution for ThinkFilm, and the focus was tightened exclusively to the Vietnam era. "The film was suddenly printed in capital letters. He took out anything that didn't address the point: who is this man, and why do we care about him?"
Uh, nice try. Without seeing the film, I am quite sure that everything they took out was crap already refuted by the Swift Boat Vets. Really, wouldn't this film be a great opportunity to address the Swift Boats head-on, something Kerry himself has never done?
Using interviews and thousands of photographs taken by Mr. Butler since the late 1960's, the film is a careful, detailed portrait that features footage from Mr. Kerry's service on Swift boats in the Mekong Delta and rare images of him as he led several days of antiwar protest in Washington in 1971, culminating in the veterans' medal-throwing ceremony.
Yeah, show all of it. The American people haven't seen enough of what kind of scumbag John Kerry was, and is.
The film includes footage of Mr. Kerry briefly questioning a veteran at the Winter Soldiers event in 1971, when veterans gave anguished testimony about their experiences in Vietnam, testimony that may still inflame anti-Kerry veterans today.
I wonder if the film will address that the people who testified there have been discredited completely. Probably not.
Senator Kerry did provide Mr. Butler with his own Super-8 footage taken when he was a commander of a Swift boat, a dangerous coastal patrol that, as the film notes, at times had 90 percent casualty rates. When Mr. Kerry cites the pathos of seeing a young Viet Cong soldier left to die in his blue shirt beside a burning hut with no honors or medals, there is film to match the memory.
That right there is why I would watch the film. To see if Kerry himself is in that part of it, or if we are getting Michael Moore-like editing.
And in creating such a positive portrait of a 27-year-old John Kerry, it seems fair to ask whether the current candidate may suffer by comparison. Mr. Butler said he was not worried. "People see this separation between John in Vietnam, and with Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and now," he said. "He's surprisingly much the same person."
That's right, he is as much of an opportunist today as he was then. This last part doesn't appear in the IHT article, but does in the NY article:
"This film is being made as history as being made," Mr. Urman said. "I've never been involved with something that is so now. It's film distribution as performance art, and it's very exciting. We're making it up as we go along."
Perfect. The film is just like the Kerry campaign. They should have named this film "Going Upcreek" instead of "Going Upriver," because up the creek is exactly where Kerry's campaign is.

Why I love blogs
The blog, The View From The Nest, had a great idea. E-mail Frank Abagnale, Jr. (the forger depicted in Catch Me If You Can) and get his thoughts on the CBS forgeries.
I just sent an email to Abagnale's company contact address (http://www.abagnale....):
Sir,
While this comes from my work account, this is a personal request. [my company] has nothing to do with this other than providing the job and desk and computer I was using when it occurred to me that America needs you. I ask you perform a service to America: Tell us, please, if the memos CBS now presents are forgeries or are authentic.
Most of us know you as the greatest living expert in the subject. Either way, this would be a great service to our nation if you could settle this issue.
Thank you
Robin K. Juhl
Ranten.N.Raven@sbcglobal.net
I truly hope he decides to weigh in with an honest opinion.
AND I JUST GOT AN ANSWER!
Dear Robin:
Thank you for your e-mail. Though Mr. Abagnale has not personally seen the
documents or copies of the documents, from what he has seen on television he
believes the documents are forgeries. He feels this should be evident to
anyone of any knowledge of forged documents.
I can tell you that he sent an e-mail to Neil Cavuto of Your World on Fox
News Network (he knows him personally) that stated: "If my forgeries looked
as bad as the CBS documents, it would have been "Catch Me In Two Days".

Most of us know you as the greatest living expert in the subject. Either way, this would be a great service to our nation if you could settle this issue.
Thank you

I truly hope he decides to weigh in with an honest opinion.
AND I JUST GOT AN ANSWER!
Dear Robin:
Thank you for your e-mail. Though Mr. Abagnale has not personally seen the
documents or copies of the documents, from what he has seen on television he
believes the documents are forgeries. He feels this should be evident to
anyone of any knowledge of forged documents.
I can tell you that he sent an e-mail to Neil Cavuto of Your World on Fox
News Network (he knows him personally) that stated: "If my forgeries looked
as bad as the CBS documents, it would have been "Catch Me In Two Days".

F'n Brilliant!!!
You must watch this
Watch the DNC video called "Fortunate Son."
What a waste of money!! (Then again, Democrats are great at that.) And, look who they use as proof, that Barnes guy and Dan Rather from last week's 60 Minutes crockfest. Hilarious!!!
If this is all they got, then they are toast.
Update: President Bush has sent hundreds of lawyers to stop this video!! Uh, no he didn't. Name one instance where Bush has tried to stop any of the crap the left has thrown at him. You can't. As for Kerry, well, you already know about that.
It seems that CBS and NBC are pissed off about their copyrighted material being used for partisan purposes, and want the ad pulled. Somehow, this will be blamed on Karl Rove.

Imagine if there were an honest media
The liberal media continues to carry the water for Kerry:
(This is the headline on the AP front page): Bush, Kerry both seen 'flip-flopping' on issues
And the story's headline:
Both Candidates Often Shift Positions
By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - While working relentlessly to portray Democratic Sen. John Kerry as a "flip-flopper," President Bush has his own history of changing his position, from reversals on steel tariffs and "nation-building" to reasons for invading Iraq.
Most recently, Bush did an about-face on whether the proposed new director of national intelligence should have full budget-making powers as the bipartisan Sept. 11 commission recommended. Bush at first indicated no, then last week said yes.
Nice try, pal. I am not going to even bother with responding. We all know the difference. And, for our add enjoyment, we get this too:
Just as GOP efforts to question Kerry's military record in Vietnam helped revive nagging questions about Bush's service in the Air National Guard, the "flip flop" attacks on Kerry could boomerang against an incumbent running on his record and reputation as a straight talker.
Uh, no. The media and the DNC revived questions about Bush's Guard service to try and stop Kerry from going completely in the tank. And, to think that "flip flop attacks" will boomerang on Bush is nothing more than wishful thinking.
This will only get worse.

A challenge to Steve Ex-Pat
Regular reader and commenter Steve Ex-Pat, who left us to reside in New Zealand, offered this in the comments:
It is starting to look like the memo may be authentic from what I'm reading, which I think will make the drive to prove it a forgery a magnet for more attention on Bush's Guard service. I believe they still need to show that they can reproduce the memo on a pre-1973 typewriter, though. If it turns out to be a real memo, what say you about the content? Or do you not answer hypotheticals (like Ari Fleischer used to say when ducking questions).
So, Steve, what exactly are you reading? Send me an e-mail with links, and I will post it right away. Dissent is always welcome here. I'd love to hear how they are authentic, despite the unmatched signatures, the unavailability of the font used in 1973, that one of the CO's mentioned actually retired a year earlier.
Please, enlighten us.
By the way, Steve, my answer would be, "So what if they were real?" Bush isn't running on what he did 30 years ago, like Kerry. He is running on what he has done the last 4 years. And he is going to be re-elected. Maybe Alec Baldwin will be your neighbor soon.
p.s. this guy isn't a reliable source:

U.S. Servicemen React to Bush Guard Memos
ALBANY, Ga. - Some current and retired members of the National Guard and other military services say they aren't bothered by newly revealed memos that indicate President Bush got preferential treatment in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, while others say they are troubling.
Troubling because they are probably fake? NO WAY!! Troubling because of what they say!! That's right. There is no mention of the real controversy surrounding the memos, only the controversy that the AP wants to push, except a quick sentence which says: Questions have been raised about the documents' authenticity.
And, if that isn't enough for you, it's the liberal media's favorite type of person to quote: A Republican who doesn't support Bush who equates Iraq with Vietnam:
Frank Jones says he's angry about the documents, but he's not surprised by favoritism in the Guard. Jones, a Republican from Troy, N.Y., served in Vietnam in 1970 and 1971 before doing 16 years in the Guard himself. As the presidential election nears, Jones says controversy over both candidates' military records and the mounting death toll in Iraq are important issues.
"I'm really in neither camp at this point," he said. "However, I do see a direct correlation to Vietnam. The body count is really starting to get to me."
Believe me, I am not minimizing the loss of 1000 great Americans who are out there defending my family, but at this rate, it will take 84.73 years to equal the death toll in Vietnam.
And here's another AP favorite, the rare career military Democrat:
Ahmad Majied of Albany says the latest allegations about Bush's military record are more troubling to him than allegations about service honors leveled at Democratic challenger Kerry.
Majied, a Democrat from Albany who served 30 years in the Navy, including five years as a SEAL in Vietnam, said the memos support his belief that Bush was a "playboy" during his service years.
"He had enough money to get what he wanted," Majied said. "I think his main concern was not to go to Southeast Asia. I bet he never dreamed it would come back to haunt him."
Ok, Ahmnad. Whatever you say, you uninformed dope.
The AP, like their brethren at the NY Times, the Boston Globe, etc, are continuing to throw what little of their credibility remains in the toilet for a loser like John Kerry. No wonder newspapers all over the place are inflating circulation numbers. People have caught on, and are tired of the lies.

Kerry Hints GOP May Suppress Black Votes
WASHINGTON - John Kerry suggested Saturday night that Republicans may try to keep black voters from casting their ballots to help President Bush win in November.
"We are not going to stand by and allow another million African American votes to go uncounted in this election," the Democratic presidential nominee told the Congressional Black Caucus"We are not going to stand by and allow acts of voter suppression, and we're hearing those things again in this election."
Nearly 4 years of this lie and still not one shred of evidence. If I were black, I'd be pissed at the way Democrats treat blacks like pawns and infants.

What's the top story currently on the AP wire?
Why, this:
Questions Raised About Bush Guard Service
WASHINGTON - New documents unearthed in the midst of the presidential campaign fill in some blanks but raise other questions about the sometimes mysterious and spotty story of President Bush's military service during Vietnam when he won a coveted spot in the Texas Air National Guard and avoided the war...
Yet, it was the White House — not Kerry's campaign — that distributed four memos from 1972 and 1973 from Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, now deceased, who was the commander of the 111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron in Houston where Bush served. The White House obtained the memos from CBS News, which said it was convinced of their authenticity, and the White House did not question their accuracy. There was no explanation why the Pentagon was unable to find the documents on its own.
The blogosphere already knows why. How come the AP does not?
By tomorrow, the story will be that Karl Rove and John Ashcroft forged them.

Just when you thought...
...the anti-Bush tomfoolery couldn't get any more ridiculous, we find out that the latest "documents" to "prove" that Bush was AWOL were faked! While I am sitting here laughing my balls off, go read Little Green Footballs and Power Line.
Yet again
One of the, as Jean Francois calls them, "trumped-up, so-called coalition of the bribed, the coerced, the bought and the extorted," our true friend and ally Australia, has been the victim of another terrorist attack, as their embassy in Jakarta has been bombed.
Maybe John Kerry doesn't think they are real allies, but the terrorists sure do.
Stick with Tim Blair for all the details and updates.
My liberal Kerry-supporting friends, let me ask you this: When are you and your boy going to realize that there is a war on, and arresting people after the fact is a failure?

Oops! That’s not Cheney! My bad.

Memo to Democrats
Please, PLEASE keep Terry McAullife front and center.
"We know that John Kerry was in Vietnam," said Democratic Party chief Terry McAuliffe in a conference call with reporters. "My question, Mr. President, is where were you, Sir?"
"Either George Bush was deliberately lying to the American public or he had some type of very severe memory loss," McAuliffe said.
Like I've said, this is the third time this story has been brought up and pounded into our heads by the media. It didn't work the last two times. What makes the lefty dopes think it will this time?
Go ask Wesley Clark what happened to his campaign after he stood there smiling while Michael Moore called Bush a deserter.

Kerry Links Iraq War, U.S. Economic Woes
WASHINGTON - Democrat John Kerry sought to link the Iraq (news - web sites) war to U.S. economic woes on Wednesday, calling President Bush's move against Baghdad a "catastrophic choice" that so far has drained $200 billion in needed resources at home.
What "economic woes" are they talking about? Memo to Kerry and his worthless staff: "This is the worst economy since the Great Depression" was a one-trick pony. It is so 1992. All you have to do is convince everyone to believe you, and not their own eyes. And you will fail.

'Texans for Truth' ad challenges Bush on Guard service
A group called Texans for Truth will release a TV ad today in which a former lieutenant colonel in the Alabama Air National Guard says neither he nor his friends saw George W. Bush when the future president was supposed to be with their unit in 1972.
Gee, all they have to do now is explain away Bush's honorable discharge, his high marks in training reports, and exactly how Bush learned to fly that F-2 if he wasn't there. Here's another laugher:
The ad could renew questions about Bush's Vietnam-era service in the National Guard, just as ads by a group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth renewed debate over Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's service in Vietnam and his anti-war efforts.
Uh, no. This will serve as the excuse the media needs to revive the "Bush was AWOL" meme for the third time. And, for the best laugh of the article, here's something that won't get the media too upset:
Texans for Truth is an arm of DriveDemocracy, an Austin-based organization that got its initial funding from the liberal group MoveOn.org. Affiliates of MoveOn.org - MoveOn PAC and MoveOn Voter Fund - have spent about $7 million since March 1 on anti-Bush TV ads.
$7 million dollars of waste money that didn't do anything close to the damages that the Swift Boat Vets did with 150 large. Why is that? Because Americans aren't as dumb as the liberal Democrats think they are. The truth always wins, and sells itself. I'll bet you never read the word "unsubstantiated" next to their charges.
One more piece of comedy:
Kerry-Edwards campaign spokesman Chad Clanton said, "We've never heard of this outfit," referring to Texans for Truth.
Yeah, sure. The Kerry people and MoveOn.org have nothing to do with each other. If that were only true.

All the more reason to vote Bush
Global survey shows 30 of 35 countries want Kerry in White House
Of course they do. Kerry will treat them as equals and act like they are worth something. Bush, on the other hand, has shown the world just how weak and gutless countries like France and Germany are.
They'd better get used to Bush being around for a while longer.

Like we've always said...
...we don't have to write this blog. John Kerry writes it for us. Here he is, in his own words:
"He [the cook at a local restaurant] just gives you what he's got, right?" Mr. Kerry added, continuing steadily off a gangplank of his own making: "And you don't have to worry, it's whatever he's cooked up that day. And I think that's the way it ought to work, for confused people like me who can't make up our minds."

Double standard? I'm shocked!! Shocked!!!!!
Imagine what would happen if you read this in the New York Times:
Among the better-known former Reagan aides who are expected to play an increasingly prominent role [in Bush's campaign] are [insert name], Brit Hume and [insert name], campaign aides said...Mr. Hume, who said he would remain a Fox News commentator, said he was delighted with the changes.
There would be an outrage!! But, since this is what is actually in the New York Times, who cares, right?
The conversation and the recruitment of old Clinton hands came amid rising concern among Democrats about the state of Mr. Kerry's campaign and criticism that he had been too slow to respond to attacks on his military record or to engage Mr. Bush on domestic policy. Among the better-known former Clinton aides who are expected to play an increasingly prominent role are James Carville, Paul Begala and Stanley Greenberg, campaign aides said....
Mr. Begala, who said he would remain a CNN commentator, said he was delighted with the changes.
In a nutshell, this is exactly why CNN is getting steamrolled by Fox in the ratings. CNN has zero credibility left.

Take a look at this unintentionally hilarious cartoon by Ward Sutton in the Village Voice:
That is just brilliant! If John Kerry were that charismatic and cool, he wouldn't be in the situation he is now. The irony here is that Bush has been the cool one, and Kerry has been the whiny bitch. Oh well, let the liberal media stay in that nice cocoon they live in.

What world is Kerry living in?
Kerry slams job losses under Bush
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry took aim at President George W. Bush's jobs record aiming to position himself as the best alternative two months before election day.
"Yesterday morning, once again, we received disappointing news about job creation here in America. The newest numbers show that this past month, we simply havent created enough new jobs," Kerry said in a radio address.
"President Bush is now certain to be the first president since Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression who didnt create a single new job," he added.
If Grandma Howe were alive today, she'd smack Kerry in the face for this, because she lived through the Great Depression. Really, does Kerry actually think he going to get some traction out of this? To believe Kerry, all you have to ignore the fact that you have to wait an hour or 2 to get a table at any restaurant on a weekend, and park about a mile from the front door of any mall if you don't get there before it opens.
He'd better do something fast, or we'll be adding him to the Mondale and Dukakis Hall of Fame.

Thoughts for the Labor Day Weekend
- Go to The Command Post, who has better covergae than anyone in the alleged media on the Islamic terrorists (THAT'S FUCKING RIGHT. ISLAMIC TERRORISTS. Not militants, gunmen, rebels, or anything else al-Reuters, al-AP, al-CNN calls them.) Yeah, I am pissed. They shot children in the back. Do you (especially you moral relativist liberals) understand that? Nothing will stop these scum. NOTHING but their deaths. No negiotiation, no concessions, nothing. Ask yourself this: What if that happens here? Take a good, long look at these pictures. (And this one too) This is what we are dealing with. Bush gets it, and Kerry doesn't. And, get this Reuters headline:
Bush Blames Terrorists for Russian Deaths
As if Bush should have waited for the outcome of a 6-month investigation to make sure it wasn't Tibetan monks who were behind it. Give me a break. Yet, no one gives a shit that the scum Muslim terrorists are going to have a grand old time in Londonistan for the 3rd anniversary of 9/11. Don't fucking act like I make this up about Muslim and Arab terrorists. 10 of the dirtbags who took over that school were Arabs. You have to read other media than the liberal media to discover that. Why would Arabs care about Chechnya? You already know the answer.
- I may have never liked him as a politican, but I will pray for Bill Clinton this weekend. No matter what, he is a father and a former President, and I respect him as such. Join me in praying for him.
- The AP, once again, pulled some real bullshit today, trying to help John Kerry by outright lying in an article, saying that Bush supporters booed Clinton when Bush told them he was in the hospital, and said that Bush did nothing to stop it. An outright lie. Power Line has the story.
- Susan Estrich has gone Howard Dean. Read this threatening article, and then someone tell her if Kerry goes that route, he'll lose by 30 points.
- Sunday will be e-mail day. Please e-mail your thoughts and they will be posted. Since we are not liberal Democrats, we will gladly post pro-Kerry e-mails too.
- Have a great Labor Day Weekend.

- The AP, once again, pulled some real bullshit today, trying to help John Kerry by outright lying in an article, saying that Bush supporters booed Clinton when Bush told them he was in the hospital, and said that Bush did nothing to stop it. An outright lie. Power Line has the story.
- Susan Estrich has gone Howard Dean. Read this threatening article, and then someone tell her if Kerry goes that route, he'll lose by 30 points.
- Sunday will be e-mail day. Please e-mail your thoughts and they will be posted. Since we are not liberal Democrats, we will gladly post pro-Kerry e-mails too.
- Have a great Labor Day Weekend.

Quote of the day, from David Limbaugh:
Nothing could be more preposterous than for Democrats to cry foul when the Republicans are merely trying to publicize the truth about Sen. Kerry's voting record. If that's dirty politics, then Democrats must think Kerry's Senate record is shameful. And they're right.

By the way...
I LOVED Bush bashing the New York Times. F'N GREAT!!!
America has done this kind of work before ? and there have always been doubters. In 1946, 18 months after the fall of Berlin to allied forces, a journalist wrote in the New York Times, "Germany is ? a land in an acute stage of economic, political and moral crisis. [European] capitals are frightened. In every [military] headquarters, one meets alarmed officials doing their utmost to deal with the consequences of the occupation policy that they admit has failed." End quote. Maybe that same person's still around, writing editorials.
I'm sure the Times will hate Bush even more for doing this. Of course, no one will be able to tell the difference anyway.

President Bush tonight
Tonight, America once again saw what a real leader looks like. Really, did you expect anythng less from a man who has ALWAYS risen to the occasion? I like his tone, his lack of cheap applause lines, and his outline of what he hopes to accomplish in a second term. And, I really like his self-effacing jokes about his English and the "In Texas, we call that walking."
I watched the speech tonight with several of my fellow 1Ls at the University of New Mexico School of Law. There were 5 Bush supporters, 4 Kerry supporters, and 2 Bush-leaning undecideds. (I really didn't them there were any undecideds left, but I believe them) Interestingly, the Kerry supporters were honest and reasonable, and we had a great debate during and after the speech. UNM is going to work out even better than I thought.
I don't know about you, but I have seen the air come out of the Kerry supporters little by little. I told the Kerry supporters tonight that they had to admit that if Kerry was shuffling his campaign team, you just know he is in trouble. They couldn't deny it.
What America saw tonight was a strong, steady leader. And this is how Kerry responded:
"I guess I'll leave it up to the voters whether five deferments makes someone more qualified to defend this nation than two tours of duty," Kerry said. Cheney received a series of deferments from 1962 to 1966 for college and graduate school and then for having a child.
"Let me tell you what I think makes someone unfit for duty," Kerry says in the remarks. "Misleading our nation into war in Iraq makes you unfit to lead this nation. Doing nothing while this nation loses millions of jobs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting 45 million Americans go without health care makes you unfit to lead this nation. Letting the Saudi royal family control our energy costs makes you unfit to lead this nation. Handing out billions [in] government contracts to Halliburton while you're still on their payroll makes you unfit."
That is flat-out pathetic. The same old left-wing lines. Really, has he not yet figured out this "I served in Vietnam" thing has got him nowhere? DOes he really think that by ripping Dick Cheney for getting a deferment is going to win him any support? He really does need new advisors.
Contrast Bush's calm and confident delivery tonight, with Kerry's rushed, sweaty delivery a few weeks ago. It isn't even close. If you are a Kerry supporter still holding out hope that Kerry will bounce back during the debates, then I feel sorry for you. Kerry is done, and it'll be 4 more years for Bush. Get used to it.
C'mon, even the Boston Globe and the Village Voice are admitting the obvious.

Memo from John Kerry.
The New Soldier
John Kerry has been keeping his 1971 Anti-American screed, The New Soldier, as far from the printing press as possible. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, you can download it in PDF format and read it yourself.

Pure Liberal Bullshit
Headline in the New York Times:
Bush Cites Doubt America Can Win War on Terror
NASHUA, N.H., Aug. 30 - President Bush, in an interview broadcast on Monday, said he did not think America could win the war on terror but that it could make terrorism less acceptable around the world, a departure from his previous optimistic statements that the United States would eventually prevail.
In the interview with Matt Lauer of the NBC News program "Today," conducted on Saturday but shown on the opening day of the Republican National Convention, Mr. Bush was asked if the United States could win the war against terrorism, which he has made the focus of his administration and the central thrust of his re-election campaign.
"I don't think you can win it," Mr. Bush replied. "But I think you can create conditions so that those who use terror as a tool are less acceptable in parts of the world."
As recently as July 14, Mr. Bush had drawn a far sunnier picture. "I have a clear vision and a strategy to win the war on terror," he said.
At a prime-time news conference in the East Room of the White House on April 13, Mr. Bush said: "One of the interesting things people ask me, now that we are asking questions, is, 'Can you ever win the war on terror?' Of course you can."
It was unclear if Mr. Bush had meant to make the remark to Mr. Lauer, or if he misspoke. But White House officials said the president was not signaling a change in policy, and they sought to explain his statement by saying he was emphasizing the long-term nature of the struggle.
Taken at face value, however, Mr. Bush's words would put him closer to the positions of the United States' European allies, who have considered Mr. Bush's talk of victory simplistic and unhelpful.
What a crcok of shit. President Bush's meaning was obvious, but of course the New York Times distorted it. (Read the transcript yourself) There is not going to be a signed peace treaty with the Islamofascist scum.
Kerry and Edwards must have gotten a chubbie thinking that they could turn this around on Bush. (Notice the AP's laughable headline)
John Edwards came out of hiding to say this:
After months of listening to the Republicans base their campaign on their singular ability to win the war on terror, the president now says we can't win the war on terrorism. This is no time to declare defeat -- it won't be easy and it won't be quick, but we have a comprehensive long-term plan to make America safer. And that's a difference."
Yeah, OK. A plan of appeasement is all they have to offer. This is so rich, coming from a Democrat, when most Democrats have ALREADY declared defeat, or don't even think we are in a war on terror. (Interestingly, one of Kerry's speeches sounded basically the same theme that Bush did.)
Nice try on this one by the Democrats. We know better.

If my last post was wrong...
Zell Miller and Dick Cheney tonight
Of course, the AP quickly ran the negative headline:
Cheney, Miller Unleash Rage Against Kerry
NEW YORK - Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites) unleashed a stinging attack on Sen. John Kerry Wednesday night, ridiculing him as a politician who has made a career out of changing his mind. "More wrong, more weak and more wobbly than any other national figure," agreed Sen. Zell Miller, a Democratic keynoter at the Republican National Convention.
Cheney certainly was not angry, but Miller sure was. And for good reason. Miller has watched his party turn to shit, and he doesn't like it one bit. He didn't say it, but I am sure that he is pissed off that in the wake of 9/11, Democrats are more angry at Bush than they are at bin Laden and Saddam.
Miller kicked ass. What made me sure was how Miller was treated on CNN and MSNBC, as well as what the callers to C-SPAN said. Right away, Wolf Blitzer said something close to this to Miller:
Someone needs to smack Wolfy in the face. If he thinks that people will run to Kerry after Miller's passionate speech about Kerry, he's nuts. If you are a Democrat, and you think Wolfy was right, then you are living in an alternate universe.
And, did you see Zell Miller on with that scumbag Chris Matthews on MSNBC? I was waiting for Miller to reach over and strangle him. As far as I am concerned, being Kerry's lackey over the last few weeks has caused Matthews what little credibility he had, between tonight, his treatment of Swift Boat Vet John O'Neill, and Michelle Malkin. Here's the exchange:
Matthews: Do you believe truthfully that John Kerry wants to defeat the world with spitballs?
Zell: That was a metaphor. You know what a metaphor is?
Matthews: Well, what do you mean by that metaphor?
Zell: He wanted to cancel these weapons programs. Cancel, means to do away with. I think we ought to cancel this interview.
Matthews: Well, that would be my loss Senator. Well, let me ask you about this because I think you have a view on reporters of the world. You said, “It was often the soldier, not the reporter, who has given the freedom of the press.” What was your point?
Zell: Well, it certainly got a rise out of you.
Matthews: Well, it’s a shot.
Zell: You’re a reporter. You didn’t have anything to do with the freedom of the press.
Matthews: Why did you single out reporters… Because you could get an applause line at a conservative convention.
J.C. Watts: Now come on, Chris.
Zell: You’re hopeless. I wish I was over there. In fact I wish we lived in the…
Matthews: If a Republican Senator broke ranks and spoke for the democrats would you respect him?
Zell: Yes, I’ve seen that happen from time to time.
Matthews: Jim Jeffords switched parties after getting elected…
Zell: Wait a minute, wait a minute… If you’re going to ask a question..
Matthews: It’s a tough question. It takes a few words.
Zell: Get out of my face! If you’re going to ask me a question, then step back, and let me answer! I wish we lived in a day where you can challenge a person to a duel. Now that would be pretty good. (Norah Odonell loud laughter)
Don’t pull that stuff on me like you did that young lady when you had her brow beaten to death. I’m not her! I’m not her! You get in my face I’m going to get back in your face. [Jim's note: I presume this is a reference to Michelle Malkin?]
Matthews: Senator can I speak softly to you?
Zell: No, no. You won’t give me a chance to answer. You ask these questions and then you just talk over while I’m trying to answer just like you did that woman the other day. Why don’t why I even came on this program.
Matthews: Well, I’m glad you did. Well let me ask you this…
Zell: No, Are you going to shut up after you ask me! Are going to give me a chance to answer it.
Matthews: Yes, sir. I’m going to give you a chance to answer.
One other thing: I really loved Miller connecting Kerry to Ted Kennedy. Brilliant.
Face it Democrats. Your guy is sinking fast. All of the indications are there. Look at the lack of a convention bounce for Kerry. Look at the shifts in even the liberal-biased polls. Look at the record cable ratings for the Republican convention. Twice as many people are watching this convention than the Democrat convention. Your speakers were Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, and an invented star Barack Obama. You have a shyster trial lawyer as VP, and a guy with a ZERO Senate record. Even Tom Daschle is aligning himself with Bush in his ads!! The reality is right in front of you.
Kerry is done. Accept it.
