Is this good news for Democrats and Kerry's camp?  Is it good news when, a couple of months before election day, the candidate is deciding whether or not to make major changes? 

When is the last time a candidate had to make changes like this so late in the game and what was the outcome of that election?  I need to do some research on that, but I'm pretty sure it can lead to nothing good for that particular candidate.

Al Franken, people don't like you.

In our ever changing world, it is important to point out and thank those who work to make it better.  It is vital to have conservatives who will speak the truth no matter what.  I think I'm going to start praising different conservative bloggers each day.  Some will be from Tblog and some will be from other venues.  All will be people who, like myself, speak the truth and refuse to back down from liberal scare tactics. 

Today, I'm praising a tblogger.  Noguru.  http://noguru.tblog.com" title="http://noguru.tblog.com" target="_blank"http://noguru.tblog.com

Noguru has an excellent blog and understands the mission at hand.  He is a very good writer and always backs up his arguements with facts (as most Conservatives do...sorry if that confuses you liberals).  If you haven't visited his blog, please do.  You are bound to learn quite a bit.

So, Bush is talking to Matt Luarrrer (or however you spell it) and he asks the President if he thinks that we can win the war on terror.  GW Bush, in his usual frankness, says "I don't think you can win the war on terror".  Democrats jump on this like tax money earmarked for the poor. 

Listen, we all know what he meant.  We know that, after listening to the rest of his statement, that he didn't mean we are going to lose the war on terror.  We know that he meant that it is a battle that will never be stopped.  It is a battle that we will have a major influence on, one in which we will gain allies that used to be enemies and they will help us battle terror.  We know that he meant that people will always participate in terrorist activities and it is our duty to make sure that they think twice about doing it.  In waging a war on terror, you are changing the attitudes of those who engage in terroristic activities. 

Before 9/11, terrorists believed that we would not respond with force.  Why would they have?  Look at what we had done in the past.  Now they understand that if you attack America, you will feel the pain of what your actions bring.  You will not be able to do these things without us finding you and eliminating you.  Not only that, the United States now will go after those terrorists before they actually strike.  Changing attitudes on the war on terror means that people understand that they can't harbor terrorists.  They understand that freedom and democracy are the only things that matter and that tyrants who want to spread terror should be taken out of power. 

The more around the world that hold these views, the more we start to change minds regarding how to fight against terror.  This is how you win the war on terror.  You don't win it by signing a peace treaty.  You don't win it by forcing your opponent to raise a white flag.  These people will continue to try and come at us.  Winning the war on terror means you spread freedom and democracy across the globe.  This is the one thing that terrorists don't want and it is what they are fighting against. 

When John Edwards comes out and says that we can win it and that Bush doesn't think we can, he is lying and spreading a new batch of waffles.  John Edwards and John Kerry are part of the party that believes there isn't a real war on terror.  They believe that terrorists are everywhere and have been everywhere but Iraq.  How can that be?  They are the ones that have said they would bring troops home almost instantly.  They are, once again, showcasing their flip flopping abilities.  This is something, the one thing, that they are great at. 

The next step in winning the war on terror is to elect George W Bush back into the White House.  A Kerry win may make some foreign leaders happy but it won't make us safer.

If anyone has any doubts about whether or not John Kerry is pro military, all you have to do is look at his actions in the past.  All you have to do is read his testimony in front of Congress, read the book he wrote "the new soldier", see things like the article above, etc.. 

John Kerry is a fake.  He is pretending to be all things to all people and it is starting to catch up.  Those of you who have not seen this evidence, look at it!  Read it, view it for yourselves.  You will then see the measure of this man.  Those of you who have seen all of this evidence and yet still support him and still say he is an honorable man, shame on you.

These just keep coming and coming.  Kerry is starting to look pathological in his lying.  Has he ever told the truth?  Was there any truth in anything he did in Vietnam?

Social Security is a scam and it is about to run out. 

Cut Benefits to Baby Boomers, Greenspan Warns

NewsMax.com Wires
Friday, Aug. 27, 2004

JACKSON, Wyo. – Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Friday that the country would face "abrupt and painful" choices if Congress did not move quickly to trim the Social Security and Medicare benefits that have been promised to the baby boom generation.

Returning to a politically explosive issue that he has addressed a number of times this year, Greenspan said that it was wrong for the government to hold out the promise of more retirement benefits than it is capable of providing.

He said this issue was particularly critical given the impending retirement of 77 million baby boomers born in the two decades after World War II.

"As a nation, we owe it to our retirees to promise only the benefits that can be delivered," Greenspan said in opening remarks to a two-day conference sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City on the challenges posed by aging populations.

"If we have promised more than our economy has the ability to deliver, as I fear we may have, we must recalibrate our public programs so that pending retirees have time to adjust through other channels," Greenspan said. "If we delay, the adjustments could be abrupt and painful."

Greenspan, as he has done previously, suggested that possible changes would be raising the retirement age to receive full Social Security benefits, which is being gradually increased from 65 to 67.

I thought the liberal media was saying that they were moving and would always be in Kerry's corner?? 

In other news, I heard that Kerry is going to personally respond to Bush's speech.  How pathetic.  Bush may have talked about the speech of Kerry while out on the campaign trail, but he didn't hold a news conference to talk about it.  This just shows how badly Kerry is doing and how scared they are right now.  The DNC has been so amazingly cocky over the last few months and now they are starting to realize that they had absolutely no reason to be.

Back in the debates of election 2000, Al Gore walked right up to GW Bush (while Bush was speaking) and stood there with a crazy smirk on his face.  Bush looked at him in the same way that the rest of America would have looked at him, with a shocked expression.  He was shocked at the audacity Gore had that night.  I also remember, that was the same debate (correct me if I'm wrong) that Al Gore told the first of many debate lies that year.  There was a question asked of Bush regarding FEMA.  Bush talked about touring Texas after a natural disaster along with FEMA.  Gore, immediately following, stated that he too had been there. 

All of this does have a point.  Yes, yes, I know.  Democrats and liberals are notorious for lying through their teeth for votes, but that isn't the point.  The point is, this was Al Gore in attack mode.  He thought that, since everyone continued to state how smart and intelligent he was, he would easily smash the "idiot" Bush in these debates.  The problem was, he tried liberal attack tactics and they backfired almost instantly. 

Liberals try to intimidate (that is what Gore was trying to do when he invaded Bush's space on stage and that is what Kerry is doing to veterans who don't agree with him), they lie about what they do, what they have done and what their opponents have done.  Finally, they cheat to try and win (see the Florida election when thousands of overseas military service men and women had their votes disregarded, see the lies they spread about minorities not having their votes counted even though there wasn't one lawsuit brought up in Florida regarding this, etc...)

Do not let liberals get away with this.  If they have an arguement about something, ask them about it.  Ask them to prove it.  Then, go look up the answers yourself.  They are sneaky and will try to convince you of the lie...i.e. Michael Moore.  If you press them for actual answers they will eventually resort to my favorite thing to watch regarding liberals...verbal attacks. 

If you are a conservative on tblog or anywhere else, you have already been subjected to this (if not, keep speaking and it will come).  You will be called every name in the book.  Here is a short list of things I've been called, on here, over the last month:

--idiot

--moron

--jackass

--motherfu****

--Nazi

--racist

--facist

--blowhard

--f***ing jerk

--people hater

--environment killer

--Nazi f*****

There are many more, but I'm not sure this site has the bandwidth to rehash everything.  You can now see why this is my favorite thing about liberals.  I love the meltdown. 

When liberals attack, they mean business.  They will attack you, your family, your beliefs, your God, your manhood, your patriotism, etc..  As they, as an ideology, become less and less of a factor (thank goodness), we will see this more and more.  Get out your tape recorders, VCR's and DVD players guys, this is going to get fun.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/3 0/candidates.daughters/index.html" title="http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/3 0/candidates.daughters/index.html" target="_blank"http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPO...

CNN is so amazingly biased it isn't even funny.  Not once did they mention that the boos began when they hit the stage.  Not once did they mention the fact that the Kerry daughters had to try and stop the booing so they could finish their sentence.  Not once did they accurately mention the fact that once the Kerry daughters said to vote for their father, the crowd got louder with their boos. 

Just report on things CNN and you will do well.  This is the reason that CNN is almost a non factor now days in the News business.  People are on to you.  Even liberals have stopped watching you.

Take a look at the line up.  Now take a look at the line ups during the Democratic Convention.  What is fair about this?  The networks refuse to show a war time President's party in prime time because of "Everybody Loves Raymond"??  At one time networks were less obvious with their bias.  Now they are right out in the open with it.

This is great, just great.  Democrats everywhere are starting to understand that Kerry is lost.  When Bush's biggest rival starts to use images of Bush to help him win, you know liberocrats are almost giving up.  What happens after the convention when Bush is up by 10?  What then liberocrats?  Will you start to tout the decrease in violence in Iraq as reason to vote for your candidates?  Will you start to turn on Kerry in order to assure Hillary gets a chance in 2008?

Interesting article.  These conventions normally reflect the candidates personality.  It is obvious from the DNC that Kerry is a little too full of himself.

People that have nothing to hide, don't behave this way.  Kerry and the liberocrats are hiding an enormous amount of information regarding his service and other things that have happened over the last 30 years.  This man is not a good person.

Kerry Stonewalling on Medals Mystery

Kerry campaign officials are refusing to answer questions about discrepancies in the military records posted to the presidential candidate's campaign Web site after Navy officials and outside experts challenged the authenticity of some of Kerry's decorations.

Chicago Sun-Times reporter Thomas Lipscomb said Sunday that he's tried to reach Kerry campaign spokesman Michael Meehan 10 times about the controversy - all without response.

"I [also] tried to get John Hurley, head of Veterans for Kerry, to give me reaction," Lipscomb told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg on Sunday. But he wouldn't respond either.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/29 /235307.shtml" title="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/29 /235307.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.newsmax.com/archiv...

These guys were touting that they would have one million (using my best Austin Powers voice) people at their marches.  They had a city permit that stipulated 250,000 marchers which is well above what they actually had.

Did we hear about this in the press?  No, we heard about "massive" protests and we didn't hear about how big of a failure they actually were.  Even New Yorkers believe, in a recent poll, that Bush is and will be a better war time President than Kerry.  Cats and Dogs, living together...what's next? :)

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/28 /134615.shtml" title="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/28 /134615.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.newsmax.com/archiv...

In Florida a statewide poll this week of 400 veterans conducted for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel and the Florida Times-Union showed a clear preference for the incumbent commander-in-chief, with Bush leading Kerry by 56 percent to 39 percent in the Florida poll, with 1 percent for independent Ralph Nader and 4 percent undecided, the Sun-Sentinel reported.

In Pennsylvania the IssuesPA/Pew poll of likely voters shows Bush leading Kerry by 45 percent to 44 percent. Among all registered voters, the Massachusetts senator leads Bush, 45 percent to 43 percent, according to the Knoxville News.

The fat lady will begin to sing after the Republican Convention.  Kerry's last chance will be at the debates and he will come across just like Al Gore did.   Like I've said for a while, this election will be at least an 8 to 10 point victory for Bush.

Bush's fault huh?  Not so says most 9/11 families.

These disturbing FBI documents raise further questions about Sen. Kerry's involvement in what looks like a quid pro quo [cash for meetings] with the communist Chinese," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

I have a feeling there is quite a bit under the rug that Kerry owns.  He seems to have swept so much under it over the last 30 years or so.  Slowly but surely, things like this are coming out.  It's amazing that this man has gotten so far on no record in congress, bogus medals from war and dealing with communist governments.

Liberocrats, this is the man you want leading the country?

"He has not flinched from the hard choices. He will not yield. And neither will we," McCain said in excerpts of his Monday address released by the campaign the night before. The four-day convention ends Thursday with Bush's acceptance address

How does it feel Democrats to know that the person you were all slobbering over to join Kerry's ticket is so staunchly in Bush's corner?

This article is for those of you who are constantly worried about every aspect of our world and society.  Sure, there are bad things out there but there always have been.  There is always an enemy out there wanting to do us harm.  Fortunately, right now, there are fewer enemies out there than there have been in many years.  There is more peace throughout the world right now than in a long long time. 

There are still many dangers in this world.  Just don't buy the constant doom and gloom that is reported by some.

I planned on writing this yesterday but since Tblog was in the crapper for most of the morning I was unable to post anything.  (that is another subject for another time, but what the heck is going on with tblog and why don't any administrators even bother to tell us?)

I'm in San Antonio Texas right now for Promise Keepers.  For those of you who don't know.  Promise Keepers is a touring Christian revival that brings together 10's of thousands of men to praise God, receive encouragement, committ ourselves even more to our wifes, loved ones and God himself.  It is full of speakers, education, amazing worship and great fellowship.  If you have never gone, I suggest you do.  It is a life changing experience. 

Last night we sang our hearts out, cried, watched videos and listened to some great speakers.  One of those speakers is a man named Joe White.  He spoke about the need to have a brand new heart for God, your family and your loved ones.  This doesn't mean going out and actually, physically getting a new heart.  It mean's taking the old crap that is inside of you, throwing it aside, and starting anew.  Too many times we think that what we are and who we are is the only person and way we will ever be.  We are stuck with that life.  That is wrong and we can change who we are if we allow God into our hearts and lives.  It was an excellent talk and one that energized us for today. 

I will make sure I have a deeper blog once I return.  Thank you all for reading and I will be back on my normal schedule starting Sunday.  Take care!

Martinez had been vying for the lead for months with former Congressman Bill McCollum. But Martinez appears to have gained sizeable momentum after his recent TV ad blitz featured President Bush praising his former cabinet secretary.

Since Bush has been openly campaigning for Mel, this is great news for both Bush and Martinez.  It means, for Bush, that he has considerable influence in the state that is so important in this election.  It also means that, once again, Bush will help propel a minority into office...something he has done more than any President in History.

This is disgusting.  Anyone who thinks that a woman should have the right to choose whether or not she wants to kill an innocent child should not have the right to vote.  Partial birth abortions are disgusting and vile and there is no excuse to allow them to happen legally. 

Liberals, you people that say a woman should have the right to choose to do something like this should be ashamed of yourselves.  How could you possibly be for something like this?  You say it's a woman's right to choose what she does with her own body and I agree.  I agree when it only pertains to her body.  Abortion and partial birth abortions are about more than just her body.  They are about the life of an innocent child.

Just an honest question to those of you who are liberals.  What has this man done for your party?  Has your party grown since he has held his position?  Has he been a "keeper"?  If Kerry loses the election and Republicans gain seats in the Senate and House again, is he gone?

"I'm in it up to here...what should I do?"  John Kerry

Kerry is in trouble.  Here are a few highlights of the poll:

•Bush leads Kerry 49%-43% on who would handle Iraq better. Kerry was ahead 48%-47% right after the convention.

•Bush leads Kerry 54%-37% on who would handle terrorism better. Kerry had risen to 41% after his convention.

•Bush leads Kerry 54%-34% on who people think is "a strong and decisive leader." Kerry had halved that lead to 10 points right after the convention.

The description in one of the Ebay listings reads, "Due to the controversial nature of the book, most copies were pulled off the shelves when Kerry decided to run for office making this book a rare find."

If you vote for John Kerry to be the President of the United States, you are voting for the same man who mocked the U.S., it's military, and those who have served in the armed forces.  John Kerry now hides this book and has taken it out of print.  He doesn't want you to read or see this so it is our responsibility to make sure that everyone sees what John Kerry really thinks of the military and our country.

So, I received this comment the other day regarding the swift boaters.  This blogger, who will remain unmentioned, made this statement:

"Like there is anyone left in America who actually believes what these guys are saying"

It seems to me like they are.  John Kerry and his campaign have made royal blunders this year.  The biggest is this issue.  Isn't the best way to refute lies, to prove them wrong?  Kerry's camp and the DNC have not even attempted to do this.  What they have done:

-- Sought legal action to stop the vets from telling their side of the story.

-- Kerry has personally called the swifties (an action which is illegal)

-- Had investigators dig up dirt personally on the veterans to get them to be quiet.

All Kerry has to do is release all of his military and medical records from Vietnam and this whole issue would go away...that is if he is telling the truth.  Instead he has continued to try and silence his critics. 

That fact of the matter is that the American people are idiots like the Kerry camp believes.  The American public understands what a coverup looks like and that is why the polls have started to turn. 

The DNC right now is praying like crazy to whatever it is they pray to, that Bush's bounce from the convention doesn't exist.  If Bush comes out with a 5 or 6 point bounce out of the convention, Kerry can go ahead and hang it up.

"The truth, which is what elections are all about, is that the tax burden of the middle class has gone up while the tax burden of the middle class has gone down," he said.

Like the story says, Bush makes this blunder and the media outlets are all over it.  I promise you won't hear much regarding this..see, John Kerry is the smartest man on earth and can do no wrong.

If this man had said the same thing about blacks/asians/hispanics/e tc.. he would have been fired on the spot.  Why is this man still working?  He would have been smacked around in the press and demonized endlessly....rightfully so.  Instead, he is still teaching. 

This makes me sick.

Wow, Al Franken really thinks highly of himself!  100 million people huh?  More like 10,000 since his show and influence really aren't what the media make it out to be.  Franken is that guy back in highschool who went around cutting up, telling jokes and making trouble.  Kids laughed alright, but not at the jokes.  They laughed because he wasn't funny and he made an utter fool of himself without even knowing it.  Al, when people are laughing, they aren't laughing with you.

Sexual assault lawsuit filed against William Kennedy Smith

August 25, 2004 (Chicago, IL) — A former personnel assistant to Chicago doctor William Kennedy Smith filed a lawsuit Wednesday accusing the nephew of the late John F. Kennedy of sexually assaulting her inside his North Side home in 1999.

The suit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon, names Smith as the defendant and seeks in excess of $50,000. The plaintiff's attorney, Kevin O'Reilly, could not be reached for comment.

In December of 1991 Smith was acquitted of rape and battery charges following a televised trial in West Palm Beach, Florida.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals unveiled a billboard at Lafayette Square Tuesday, featuring a photo of Ronald Reagan and the tagline "Win One for the Gipper: Go Vegetarian. Animal Fats Double Your Risk of Alzheimer's."

Liberals, these are your guys!  This is what happens to good, thoughtful people who have spent far too long being brainwashed by liberal ideology.  These people are nuts and this is such a disgrace. 

Imagine what would happen and imagine the outrage is the Religious Right unveiled a billboard with the images of Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Ted Kennedy, and John Kerry.  Underneath their pictures it would say:  Four reasons that abstinence is vitally important. 

The liberal media and politicians would be up in arms. 

It is extremely important the people understand exactly what Saddam was about.  Ask those Iraqi reporters who cried for joy once they saw pictures of a captured Saddam just what he was like.  Ask Iraqi Olympic Athletes just want Saddam's sons were like to work with. 

These pictures should never been forgotten.  This man was my generation's Hitler.  This is the reason that Bush has said, knowing what he knows now, he would have done the same thing.  Democrats, would you have continued to let this man do these things?  I suppose so...

For starters, 254 swiftboat veterans say Kerry is a fraud; 14 say he's a hero. Partisan considerations aside, which would be more difficult to do: Get 14 liars to keep a secret, or get 254 liars to do so? As a student of recent history, I defer to any registered Democrat on this question.

Not only can he pick them, but when he does, they turn out to be amazing.  Condi for President in 2008.

O'Neill Voted for Gore, Bashed Bush

Swiftboat Veterans for Truth chief spokesman John O'Neill is supposed to be a tool of the Bush Cheney reelection campaign - at least according to John Kerry's media damage controllers.

But in fact, O'Neill voted against George Bush in 2000 and against his father in 1992, O'Neill friend Gerry Birnberg tells the Boston Globe, backing Al Gore and Ross Perot respectively.

O'Neill also supported Perot against Bob Dole in 1996.

http://www.alertnet.org/printable.htm?URL=/thenews/newsdesk /N25611233.htm" title="http://www.alertnet.org/printable.htm?URL=/thenews/newsdesk /N25611233.htm" target="_blank"http://www.alertnet.org/print...

It sure does seem that the meaningless country Canada feels pretty full of herself.  Where would Canada be without the U.S.?  If I were Canada, I would be worried that Bush is going to be reelected.  All we have to do is slow down the money flow into Canada by 20% and we would put their economy in ruins. 

They need to learn that they are the little guy on the block and are nothing without the United States' resources and money.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40145" title="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=40145" target="_blank"http://www.worldnetdaily.com/...

John Kerry, no matter what you do, you can't silence your critics.  You can threaten them legally, you can call them up personally, you can send your own cronies out to see President Bush.  Nothing you do will stop them from spreading the truth. 

The only thing that will stop them is when you actually tell the truth.  Come on John, tell the truth...

This is a 527 independent group and therefore it is illegal for any candidate to contact them.  John Kerry, lawbreaker or crybaby?  You decide...

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/25 /92620.shtml" title="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/25 /92620.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.newsmax.com/archiv...

Bush has told 527s to stop with the ads.  Kerry has yet to admonish any of the ads bashing Bush and is still saying that Bush hasn't denounced them.  Kerry continues to work with 527s like the Hollywood moveon.org. 

Kerry may be the biggest hypocrite of our time.  Look at this picture and tell me this is someone who knows the common man.

More Hollywood Hate for Kerry to Ignore: Beat 'Madman' Bush

Sen. John Kerry keeps pretending that President Bush hasn't already condemned the modestly funded Swift Boat Veterans for Truth's commercial and keeps ignoring the president's challenge to reject all ads from 527 organizations. And now the latest attack ads from Kerry's multimillion-dollar support groups have hit a new extreme.

The pro-Kerry outfit MoveOn has teamed with Hollywood heavyweights including Rob Reiner, Matt Damon, Kevin Bacon, Scarlett Johansson, John Sayles, Ed Asner, Margaret Cho and Al Franken to unleash Bush-bashing ads (10, according to the Associated Press; 14, according to USA Today) for TV and the Internet.

'Madman'

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&" title="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&" target="_blank"http://story.news.yahoo.com/n...;u=/ap/20040825/ap_on_el_ pr/kerry

So, John Kerry thinks that Rumsfeld should resign and that Bush should ask for an independent investigation into Abu Ghraib. 

I have a question for Kerry.  Will he support an independent investigation into the war crimes he took part in supposedly in Vietnam?  Will he support a congressional investigation, open to the public (especially those in his home state) into his lack of attendance in Congress and his lack of attendance during important votes for the last year and a half? 

As for the war crimes he said he took part in, I would think that this is much worse than some of the stuff that happened at Abu Ghraib.  If Kerry did what he said he did, he murdered innocent women and children, burned down homes, etc..  Not only that, but he conspired with the enemy in Vietnam, helped the enemy torture POWs with the comments he made once he was back at home, etc..  This coming from someone who wants to be the Commander in Chief?  I don't think so...

Kerry has voted in Congress, over the last year and a half, almost as many times as I have!  How much does Kerry make per year?  How much is he paid to campaign and not represent the people in his home state?  If you or I were absent that much from our jobs because we were out interviewing for a new job, we would be fired on the spot. 

Kerry wants investigations, like all liberals want when they want to divert attention from their own shortcomings.  Imagine if Bush called for congressional investigations into Kerry's past and his voting record.  Imagine the uproar.

A group of about 40 men and myself are traveling 90 miles south to San Antonio this weekend.  Friday night and all day Saturday we will be attending Promise Keepers.  For those who are not familiar with PK, here is their website:

http://www.promisekeepers.org/" title="http://www.promisekeepers.org/" target="_blank"http://www.promisekeepers.org...

Promise Keepers is an event that no man should miss.  There is nothing like being in an arena with tens of thousands of other men all with the same goals and values.  Fatherhood, being a great husband, being faithful to loved ones, allowing your actions to be based on your morals rather than society, and most importantly being a man of God. 

This event brings people of all walks of life together and gives them a single, wonderful purpose.  It is an event you don't want to miss.  I will follow up afterwards and tell everyone how it was!

"I'm still waiting for someone to show me what we've gotten in this valley for delivering 70 percent of the vote to Democrats over the last 120 years. Are we not the most depressed valley in Ohio - if not the country?" McKelvey said.

More and more democrats are starting to think like this.  After all the years of supporting the left, are you any better than you were before?  This goes for the poor, minorities, the elderly, etc...

What took them so long?  If this were Bush or a Republican, this would have happened already.  Stay tuned...

He calls Bob Dole to complain:

and the Swifties:

http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc98.htm" title="http://www.drudgereport.com/dnc98.htm" target="_blank"http://www.drudgereport.com/d...

What is it with this guy?  First he threatens, like Michael Moore, to sue those who are against him.  Now he is calling people who are his critics and he is whining about how he is being treated?  Give me a break.  How is this guy going to handle being the leader of the free world? 

John Kerry is not cut out to be the President of the Austin area PTA, much less the President of the United States.

Bill Clinton said this on national t.v. and the world swooned.  What an amazing man, I think he really does care about us!  All of a sudden, liberals everywhere (and some conservatives) bought into the myth that was Bill Clinton.  They saw him as, not only someone who would do good for the country, but as someone who also actually cared about everyone.  This, compared to George HW Bush's seemingly cold and withdrawn personality (along with his inability to tell time during a debate and Ross Perot) helped give William Jefferson Clinton the title of POTUS in 1992. 

In 1996, Bill Clinton once again put on the charm and beat another seemingly cold, old and battered Bob Dole (along with the help once again of Ross Perot).  Ole Bob is a great guy and extremely humorous but against Clinton, he looked like that mean old uncle that no one could stand to be around. 

This was Clinton's gift.  No one, not even Republicans and Conservatives, can dispute the fact that Clinton knows how to hold court.  He is a captivating speaker even when nothing substantial comes out of his mouth.  When he stated that "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinski." much of the public bought it without thinking twice.  Clinton was that good. 

Unfortunately for Al Gore, Clinton's charm didn't rub off.  Al was stiff and distant in his personality and in the way he carried himself.  He was almost universally deemed "robotic" in his movements.  He was the ultimate policy wonk who didn't relate to the general public.  When GW Bush came around, he did relate.  He related and he spoke with substance.  This eventually buried Gore, who couldn't even win his home state during the election of 2000.

Now Democrats have given us John Kerry as the "hope for the future".  They had the chance to nominate Howard Dean, who actually has a personality, but they decided he was too risky.  Howard Dean could pump up an audience.  He knew how to spark emotion from those who had no idea what he stood for.  Dean was too much though for the Democratic royalty.  He spoke the truth, as he and other liberals saw it, but that was scary to the DNC.  So, they nominated "lurch".  John Kerry is known for putting people to sleep with speeches and is now known for taking the life out of what are otherwise pumped up audiences. 

This is going to spell disaster for Democrats in November.  The Democrats, for decades, have won on emotion.  They have one with candidates who "relate" to the common man.  Even when they had no intention of actually helping the poor/sick/needy, democrats came across as caring/kind/warm/down to earth.  Kerry doesn't come across as caring or down to earth.  He comes across as rich/cold/distant/out of touch and, more importantly, as a politician. 

Where is Bill Clinton when the Democrats need him most?  Why hasn't he stood up and blasted the "rich, evil Republicans" more?  Why isn't he out there biting his lower lip to show the world how much he hurts for us?  Sure, he spoke at the DNC, but where is he now?  I suppose he is feeling the pain of the Democratic party right now. 

Unless you are a Republican or Christian...

When I recently learned that UNC officials had ordered the funds of a Christian fraternity frozen just because they refused to admit non-Christians, I was shocked.  When I found out later that the funds never even belonged to the state I was outraged. The idea that the state of North Carolina could freeze the privately raised funds of a Christian fraternity made me wonder whether UNC equated Christian student groups with terrorist networks like al-Qaeda.

Wow, so this is why the Kerry campaign has been trying to shut the Swifties up.  They have been telling the truth.  Look, time after time now we are getting different reports from Kerry's service.  If Kerry got one of his purple hearts because of a self inflicted wound and he has been lying about it all these years, he deserves to be forced to step down from office.  His entire past is a lie. 

"To me, that's treason," Cooper told the Canadian Press. "I call it treason against rock 'n' roll because rock is the antithesis of politics. Rock should never be in bed with politics."

"If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are. Why are we rock stars? Because we're morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal."

"Besides," he continued, "when I read the list of people who are supporting Kerry, if I wasn't already a Bush supporter, I would have immediately switched. Linda Ronstadt? Don Henley? Geez, that's a good reason right there to vote for Bush."

Finally a rocker that gets it.  What is Laura Ingram's titled?  "Shut up and Sing".

So, John Kerry is asking the GOP to stop the "fear and smear" tactics and start debating the issues?  Here is a list of things the GOP can't try to debate though:

-- John Kerry's service in the military.  Don't try to bring up issues here.  If you do, your entire life will be searched in order to attack you.

-- John Kerry's service on the Senate Intelligence Committee.  If you try and debate his record of poor attendance, he will tell you that he was in many behind the scenes debates.  If you ask him to release records to prove that, you are attacking him unfairly. 

-- John Kerry's personal life.  Don't ask about his stock holdings, his places of residence overseas, his exes.  Personal things shouldn't matter.  Of course, if this were true for Bush it would be a different story and fair game.

-- John Kerry's entire service in the US Congress.  Don't talk about his 19 years there, afterall, he spent 4 months in Vietnam.

-- John Kerry's personal henchmen...Moveon.org and the other 527s.  Afterall, the Swift boaters received almost 500k!!!  Don't try to mention the millions and millions the liberal 527s are pumping into this campaign because that would be attacking. 

-- John Kerry's inability to denounce 527s who are unfairly trashing Bush.  Even though he is asking the GOP to stop, he doesn't feel he has to at all and he doesn't feel the need to denounce those who are supposedly helping his cause.

-- John Kerry's service for the Communists in Vietnam.  Don't talk about how he is on their Anti-war hall of fame.

-- Don't bring up the fact that he is losing the veteran's vote to Bush right now by over 20 percentage points.  They are all right wing crazies and don't count.

-- Trial lawyers...don't you dare or they will sue you.

-- Teresa's money going to Cuba to help Castro.  Don't bring that up. 

-- Don't say anything about defense spending and Kerry's lack of attendance during important votes on this subject.  As a matter of fact, don't bring up his voting record when it comes to education, taxes, welfare, abortion, same sex marriages, budget items, intelligence and terrorism, and equality.  Don't you guys know?  He may not have voted on any of these things in the last 2 years and rarely over the last 19, but he does care!  Honestly, he does,,believe him. 

John Kerry doesn't want to discuss anything that makes him look bad.  That is the reason he and his party focused on Vietnam.  Nothing in his 19 years in Congress looks good for him.  He has done nothing substantial.  He is the reason that Vietnam has come into focus.  Now that there are veterans coming out and saying he isn't worthy we are supposed to get back to the issues?  Make up your mind John.  Make up your mind.

Since this is something that everyone already knows, it's old news.  It is news that is worth repeating though...

"We make jokes about it but the truth is this presidential election really offers us a choice of two well-informed, opposing positions on every issue. OK, they both belong to John Kerry, but they're still there." —Jay Leno

 The link to 527s
    " The Kerry campaign is gloating this weekend over the resignation of Bush-Cheney volunteer former Vietnam War POW Ken Cordier, who's featured in the latest Swift Boat ad — saying it proves illegal coordination between the Swift vets' 527 group and the official Bush campaign," NewsMax.com reported yesterday.
    " But [John] Kerry has no plans to fire Zach Exley, a key campaign staffer who served as the organizing director for MoveOn.org throughout the presidential primaries," NewsMax said.
    " What's more, MoveOn, whose sole mission is to defeat President Bush in November, maintains that Exley is allowed to 'communicate' with the 527 group even as he works for the Democratic nominee.
    "  'Col. Cordier did not inform the campaign of his involvement in the advertisement,' the Bush campaign said in a statement late Saturday. 'Because of his involvement [in the ad], Col. Cordier will no longer participate as a volunteer for Bush-Cheney '04.'
    " But there's no doubt that Kerry knew all about Exley's background when he hired him.
    " In April, the Kerry for President Web site proudly announced: 'Zach Exley joins the [Kerry] Internet team as Director of Online Communications and Online Organizing. He was previously the director of special projects for MoveOn.org.'
    " Exley claims he won't communicate with MoveOn until after the election, but when he teamed up with Kerry, MoveOn's executive director, Eli Pariser, acknowledged that Exley will be able to make use of 'what he's got in his head.'
    " And a statement issued by MoveOn when Exley signed on with team Kerry insisted, 'federal election rules permit some forms of communication' between Exley and the liberal 527."

Where is the outrage in the media and on the democrats side?  It's not there because they are in it together.  Whatever makes Bush and the nation look bad is good for the media and Kerry.

In the first lady race, Laura wins
Have you noticed that just about everywhere President Bush campaigns he brings his wife, Laura, or brags about her? It's not just because he loves her. The nation digs her too–more, even, than it loves him. "Oh, you noticed that?" chuckles a top Bushie. "They're not taking anything for granted. It's 'Team Bush'." Even Democrats like Laura, according to a Fabrizio, McLaughlin & Associates poll provided to Whispers. "She is clearly an asset to the president," says Tony Fabrizio. Among all voters, Laura's favorables beat Teresa Heinz Kerry's by over 22 percent. Undecideds favor her over Teresa by 16 percent, one of the key reasons Laura 'is out campaigning even though she doesn't like to. "If we can't win white undecided women," admits a Bushie of a key target group, "we don't win." Naturally, the press sharks sense a good story and are trying to pit wife against wife, says the University of Missouri's Betty Houchin Winfield. But, adds the journalism professor, the ladies aren't biting. And if that press ploy doesn't work? "The next thing, they'll be pitting the kids against each other," she says.

Here is the poll...

No one disagrees here.  Laura Bush is more of a woman and decent human being that Teresa could ever think of being.

Wow, they sure do sound alot like the DNC and Kerry's campaign now don't they.  They also sound like quite a few of our liberocrat friends here on tblog.  I wonder, do they all take notes from each other?  What's next?  Will Kerry and the DNC start quoting speeches from Stalin?

Listen, I know there are a few good democrats out there.  People like this though are scum of the earth.  You scream and yell when people question Kerry's claims of injury.  When the right asks for military records to prove the injuries the left freaks out.  The left in 96 bashed Dole in horrible fashion.  It was down right ugly.  Liberals can be a trashy bunch...

Dem Cartoonist Trashed Dole's Combat Heroism

Democrats are outraged over Sen. Bob Dole's decision to question the circumstances under which John Kerry claimed three Purple Hearts.

But they were silent nine years ago, when GOP-bashing cartoonist Gary Trudeau actually derided then-presidential candidate Dole for being wounded and almost dying in World War II.

Story Continues Below

Democrats are the thieves in this country.  Now that Europeans are "monitoring" our elections, do you think that they will overlook this since it is Liberal fraud? 

The sad thing is, you liberals will discredit this and say it's a lie.  Liberals are frauds.

N.Y. Daily News Unearths 'Stunning' Democrat Vote Fraud

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - About 46,000 people, most of them Democrats, are illegally registered to vote in New York City and in Florida, the liberal New York Daily News reported today.

"The finding is even more stunning given the pivotal role Florida played in the 2000 presidential election, when a margin there of 537 votes tipped a victory to George W. Bush."

And the investigation doesn't include other states or even the suburbs of New York.

The pro-Kerry paper said that efforts to prevent such fraud "rely mostly on the honor system." That's a serious flaw when people who have no honor are involved.

Sixty-eight percent of those registered to vote in both states are Democrats. Sixteen percent did not list a party, and only 12 percent are Republicans.

The paper determined that 400 to 1,000 New Yorkers had voted twice in at least one election, "a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine."

A possible solution: a national voter registration system with federally assigned ID numbers. Allan Lichtman, a history professor at American University in Washington, told the paper: "I don't think the country is ready for that. It may well be that a few hundred people spilling over and voting twice may be an inevitable friction within the system."

Even if it results in a repeat of the stolen presidential election of 1960?

A reader from Plymouth Meeting, Pa., who sent us this tip wrote: "The Democrats are obviously the party of vote fraud, by a more than 5 to 1 margin. Why aren't these people being punished? The Justice Department SHOULD investigate and PROSECUTE (senior citizens or not, they belong in JAIL)!"

Still Too Stupid to Vote

Meanwhile, notorious Palm Beach County, where thousands of hard-core Democrats, including many snowbirds from or former residents of New York, claimed to be too stupid to use a Democrat-designed ballot in 2000, is at again.

And what's the problem this time? Some users of the absentee ballot are now claiming to be too inept to draw a simple line connecting two parts of an arrow.

Bring on the lawyers ...

Let me guess Democrats, Kerry isn't as bad as Bush and Newsmax is lying huh?  You guys are so easy to predict, I know what you will say way ahead of time. 

Kerry and the Democrats are the ultimate thieves when it comes to skirting Campaign Finance laws.  The whole reason they were for CF was that they knew and understood how to get around the laws before they even came along.  They knew that they would be the main party to benefit from the restrictions.  Campaign Finance is a scam and anyone who says otherwise is either blind or a Liberocrat.

John Kerry and his cheerleaders in Big Media try to associate President Bush with the modestly funded Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, they remain silent about the links Kerry and the Democrat party have to multimillion-dollar Bush-hating groups. But they cannot keep concealing these ties, because NewsMax has uncovered multiple examples.

Thanks in part to tips from readers nationwide who are outraged about the blatant bias of the media establishment, we have found the following:

So, liberals, are you happy?  An open letter to President Bush:

Mr. President,

I'm writing you to express my concern and disappointment with your decision to denounce the Swift Boat Veterans and their quest to force John Kerry to come clean and honestly answer questions regarding his service. 

This group is over 250 people strong and each is a war hero in his own right.  There are lists and lists of courageous servicemen who served in Vietnam and other wars who have won the same medals that Kerry is supposed to have won legitimately and they all denounce Kerry.  Currently you have at least a 15 to 20 point lead in the polls over John Kerry in regards to veterans.  It is clear that in the military community, John Kerry doesn't have a very high standing. 

I think that your decision to come out against the Swift Vets puts a damper on our political process as a whole and hurts veterans.  It is a move for the establishment and against the common man to make a difference in our very political world.  Politically, you have given up one of your best guns in that John Kerry's credibility has taken a huge hit because of the questions posed by these veterans.  John Kerry won't denounce those 527s who attack you.  He won't stop Moveon.org and George Soros from attacking you unfairly so what do you have to gain politically by this?  Both personally and politically this is a lose/lose situation for you and your campaign. 

This is troubling to me because it shows that you are trying to pander to those who will never agree with you.  No matter what you do, Democrats and liberals will always think of you as evil.  You know what they will say about this?  They will say the following:

--You acted to slowly

--You don't really mean it and it's a political calculation

--You didn't say enough to denounce them

--You only denounced them because you are in on it

--etc...

You will never get them to like you or vote for/with you so stop trying. 

You are, regardless of what liberals and the DNC try to paint you as, a very intelligent man.  You don't get to the position you are in without having the knowledge of how all of this works.  I can see no way that stopping public discourse is a good way to handle things.  John Kerry has tried to legally stop these Veterans from speaking.  He has used scare tactics that are, well, scary in nature.  These Veterans have been unfairly raked over the coals because they have come out against Kerry.  Has the press investigated those veterans who supposedly support him?  No, they take that at face value.  They only want what is bad for you, Mr. President. 

I hope you understand that nothing can come with trying to appease Democrats.  Just like appeasing terrorists, it will never work.  Once you give them what they want, they will ask for more.  Eventually you will be in such a big hole that there is no escape. 

Sincerely,

Deshanews

ELECTION 2004
Teresa: John not qualified to be president
Wife of Democratic nominee doesn't think anyone is up for job

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/22 /134724.shtml" title="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/22 /134724.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.newsmax.com/archiv...

Kerry, his camp and the media have been blasting anyone who has come out to raise questions about Kerry's service and the medals he received.  If it was someone not in Vietnam or someone not in the military, those above have stated that the person doesn't know what they are talking about.  If the person is a Republican, they blast them for being partisan and for lying. 

Bob Dole is a true American hero.  He actually fought and actually was hurt in war.  He almost died. 

Let me ask you a question.  How many medals does Bob Dole have?  What medals are they?  I am willing to bet that, unless you are a huge Bob Dole fan or you just went to look it up, you have no idea.  Why don't you know?  Because Bob Dole hasn't gone around touting his medals every chance he gets.  John Kerry is using his medals as political amo.  It is interesting that real heros in the past haven't had to do this.  Why is he touting these so much?  It's almost as if he knew these medals would be of use...  Are Democrats going to come out and say that Bob Dole doesn't have the qualifications needed to comment on Kerry's wounds?  He has known him for the length of his term in office and he is a real war hero.  How will the Democrats and the media try to discredit him?

"They were always talking about that (anti-war demonstrations), and they picked right up on Kerry's throw-away line, 'Don't be the last man to die in a lost cause, or die for a lost cause,'" said Kenneth Cordier, an Air Force pilot who spent 2,284 days as a prisoner. "They repeated that incessantly.

"They used these photographs and inputs, voice tapes, whatever, from these peace people to try to convince us the whole country had turned anti-war and we were showing a very bad attitude and would never go home."

-----------

"During a four-hour propaganda and harassment session, Boris pulled papers from his pocket and gave them to Warner to think about, he said. Some were clippings from a leftist newspaper in the United States. The other was a typewritten transcript of Kerry's testimony before a U.S. Senate panel in which he repeated allegations of U.S. troops routinely committing atrocities, attacking the war and saying communism was not a threat in Vietnam."

When you liberals sit here and try to justify your hatred for Bush by bashing the war in Iraq, I want you to read these statements.  When you try to say that you support the soldiers but not the war and you are openly critical of what they are doing there, you need to know how it is used by the enemy. 

Anti-war speech, whether it's now or back in Vietnam, does nothing at all to help our country.  It does nothing to make America more secure.  It does nothing to make our troops more safe and it does nothing but give our enemy hope that we will back down. 

When you act like this, ask a POW how it affects them.  Ask POWs how it would affect those who are captured.  Ask POWs how it makes them feel and ask how it would make the soldiers over there feel.  If you actually do love our country and you actually do support our troops, you need to think about them for a second instead of using them as a front for pushing your own ideological beliefs.  That can be done after the fighting is over and our boys are home safe.

Have any of you ever been to a political rally?  Wait, let's back up, what is a rally?  Do any of you know?  A rally is an event of like minded people who gather to support an issue, idea, person, etc..  It is a RALLY.  You are RALLYING for a cause or person.  Do democrats not get this? 

Go to a John Kerry "rally" and how many Bush supporters do they let in?  How many Bush supporters are there?  When Bush supporters get in, what happens to them when they speak up?  They are thrown out.  A rally is in support of something and is not a forum for others.  Why would a candidate throw a rally or a function for those who don't support him?

You liberals in the press and on here who try to make a big deal about Bush's campaign keeping Kerry supporters out need to get a grip and stop with the lies.  You people talk about how Bush "keeps" Kerry supporters out of the rallies and yet you fail to mention how Kerry does the same.

Hypocrits. 

A good friend of mine has donated quite a bit of time to Lance Armstrongs cancer foundation.  He has made these shirts and has been selling them since before the Tour.  They have sold like wildfire!  They are $20.00 per shirt + shipping and handling and half of the money goes to his foundation.  You get a great shirt and get to help out a great cause. 

Message me if you would like one and we can work it out. 

You liberals think that Clinton did anything for the war on terror?  He did alright..just for the wrong side.  Clinton sold military secrets to China and now look who has the intelligence from those horrible mistakes.  Our friends over there in Iran.

GEOSTRATEGY-DIRECT INTELLIGENCE BRIEF

Chinese give 'ecstatic' Tehran GPS system it got during Clinton years

Editor's note: WorldNetDaily brings readers exclusive, up-to-the-minute global intelligence news and analysis from Geostrategy-Direct, a new online newsletter edited by veteran journalist Robert Morton and featuring the "Backgrounder" column compiled by Bill Gertz. Geostrategy-Direct is a subscription-based service produced by the publishers of WorldTribune.com, a free news service frequently linked by the editors of WorldNetDaily.

I'm just interested.   On the blog here there is a poll and something like 70% of those responding have stated they will vote for GWB.   I'm interested in the rest of you.  Who are you going to vote for and what is your reasoning behind it? 

Voting is so important that it shouldn't be done for reasons like "I don't like him", or "He's ugly", or "He has cool hair".  You should vote for someone because you believe he is the candidate that will help make your life better/safer in the years to come.

What is it with University of Miami players?  I think you have to be a thug to play there.  There used to be only one real player in the league that I wanted to fail badly and that is Kellen Winslow.  Now I can add this chump. 

So there I was today, walking around Barnes and Noble and what did I find?  I found that there wasn't one single copy of the Swift Boaters book.  I thought to myself that this was expected, I mean it is at the top of Amazon.com and 2nd or 3rd on the NY Times bestseller list. 

I went to the manager and asked about the book and when they though they would have more in.  He told me that they ordered a grand total of THREE books and they sold out automatically.  I asked him when that was and he said that it was the day the book came out.  They have ordered ZERO since then.  Now this confused me.  I mean this is one of the best selling books in the country.  The books he ordered didn't stay on the shelf long enough to say "flip flop Kerry" and they haven't ordered any more? 

To make matters even more interesting, there were probably 20 copies of Bill Clintons book laying stagnant on the shelves.  I asked him how he could run a business like that and he had no answer.  I asked when he would be ordering more of this proven bestseller.  When would he be ordering more of this instant money maker.  He told me he wasn't sure they would be getting any in the next few months.  Why not?  Why keep non-selling Clinton books on the shelves but not the book that is sweeping the nation? 

I called around to the other Barnes and Nobles in town.  I called the Borders as well.  All had almost the exact same situation.  What is going on?  Why can't I find this book in Austin Texas?  Why aren't bookstores stocking this book?  Why are they giving up sales to push some personal political ideology? 

If you are looking for the book, you will have to go to www.amazon.com.  Otherwise, you are going to have a hard time.  If Kerry gets his way, we may not even be able to find it online. 

What a sad state the democratic party is in when they start to ban things that contrary to their own beliefs.  It's not really a shock though is it?

"Look, I just have to ask:  How is it that you selected this candidate without knowing that he had absolutely nothing to run on, and I do mean nothing, except four months in Vietnam?  Didn’t it occur to you that you might want a candidate with at least some record of accomplishment over a twenty-year period of service in the Senate?"

http://www.townhall.com/columnists/nealboortz /nb20040820.shtml" title="http://www.townhall.com/columnists/nealboortz /nb20040820.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.townhall.com/colum...

I love Boortz.  He is probably one of my favorite Conservative personalities.  He tells it like it is and liberals hate that..you know, the truth sucks and they don't want to hear it. 

I learned something from Boortz a while back.  He was talking about liberals and what their ultimate plan is.  The plan is to win.  Their plan is all about power.  They have no other motivation.  They will do whatever it takes to win.  They will lie to seniors, they will lie to everyone.  They will cheat, they will steal, they will cheat and then say that the other party is cheating.  They are crooks.  What happens when a party who is so consumed with power actually gets power?  What will they do?  This is almost like asking that question to an eco-terrorist.  They say that they want the environment to be completely clean but they really don't want that.  If it were, what would they do for a living?  They would be unemployed and who wants to hire someone who blows things up for a living and complains about everything? 

If democrats/liberals gain the power they so powerfully crave, what next?  They wouldn't know what to do.  They would have no were to go, they would have no plans, they would just be stagnant.  Why do you think the issues that democrats have "campaigned" on for so long remain issues to this day?  How long have Democrats campaigned on the poor being beaten up?  How long have they campaigned on the "fact" that republicans were going to take away seniors benefits and social security?  How long have democrats campaigned on issues like these?  Are these issues solved after all of the supposed work they have done?  No...they are still issues because democrats have no intention of fixing any of the social problems that plague our country.  They just want the issue to run for office on...

Now we know that sometimes Drudge is given false information.  Sometimes he doesn't though and many times he is right on.  If the Kerry campaign has done this it is an outrage and completely un-American.

The Conservative Hitman has called Tblog it's home for almost a month now.  We have had amazing site visits since then both from tbloggers and from the various search engines we are on.  We have received a great deal of email/messages/comments that have been constructive and positive. 

Unfortunately, we have also received some that have been less than constructive.  This hate mail is sometimes harmless and sometimes childish.  Some has been down right scary.  I think we all need to keep one of these bloggers in our prayers. 

Newbie seems to have almost lost it.  Of all the messages I have received, both comments and private messages, his seems to be the most vile and/or confusing.  Here is what he wrote me in the last couple of days:

In response to an article and comments on Kerry's recent flip flopping on whether or not it's right to move troops from Korea and Europe he wrote this inspired work...

You people tell me that their isn't a bias in the media.  If you say that you don't watch any of it or read any either.  Now we have these swift boat vets and the media does it's best to bash them.  They go and dig up dirt on ONE of the over 200 vets and they say that is proof that it is all a lie.  What?  Are you kidding me?  Why won't the media ask questions and dig into Kerry's past?  Why won't they at least look into the suggestions made by these vets?  They looked into Bush's record every chance they got, but with Kerry it's all about bashing someone else. 

Conservatives just have to face the facts.  The media will always be partial and will always side with liberals.  They will always be biased.

You have got to be kidding me.  Is this where our country is headed?  Are we so weak that we have to give in to everything??  As someone in this article states, this is not Mexico, this is America.  I don't care if that school is 100% hispanic, they are in America.   Amazing, truly amazing.

Would you fight these guys sensitively?  Would you wait for them to attack before you "use the full force of our military"?  Would you act pre-emptively against them or would you allow them to kill some of our citizens before going after them? 

This question needs to be answered and it needs a black and white answer.  These are the sort of situations the Commander in Chief must deal with on a daily basis.  Is anyone really that confident that Kerry can do this?

Read the article liberals.  Tell me how he hasn't just completely changed direction over a few weeks.  First he says he will take troops out of Korea and/or Europe and now he bashes Bush for wanting to do it...over 10 years??  Liberals, you guys can't defend this.  The liberal press is starting to get pissed at this as well.  This is about to blow up for Kerry.  You can't keep going back and forth.

Kerry Backed Korea, Europe Troop Reductions Three Weeks Ago

Sen. John Kerry is blasting President Bush for his plan to withdraw 70,000 troops from South Korea and Germany. But less than three weeks ago the top Democrat said he thought such troop reductions were a good idea, specifically naming Europe and Korea.

"I will have significant, enormous reduction in the level of troops," Kerry told ABC's "This Week" on Aug. 1.

"I think we can significantly change the deployment of troops [in Iraq], not just there but elsewhere in the world. In the Korean peninsula perhaps, in Europe perhaps. There are great possibilities open to us. But this administration has very little imagination."

My friends, democrats are trying to hijack the meaning of hero.  For so long they have been against those who are heros and now, all of a sudden, they think they are the ones who have given to this country.  A few gems from this article:

"The media will spend weeks going through pay stubs for Bush's National Guard service in Alabama in the waning days of war, but if Kerry tells them exotic tales of covert missions into Cambodia directed by Richard Nixon, they don't even bother to fact-check who was president in December 1968."

---------------

"Tom Harkin, Crazed Moron, was shouting this week that Dick Cheney is a "coward," evidently for not fighting in Vietnam like Harkin. Except Harkin didn't fight in Vietnam either! The last time Harkin was bragging about his Vietnam service was in 1984 when he told David Broder of the Washington Post: "I spent five years as a Navy pilot, starting in November of 1962. One year was in Vietnam. I was flying F-4s and F-8s on combat air patrols and photo-reconnaissance support missions."

Sen. Barry Goldwater – not the Post – checked with the Defense Department and soon Harkin was forced to admit he had never been in combat in Vietnam, but was based in Japan during the war, ferrying damaged planes from the Saigon airport to Japan for repairs. Oops!"

----------------

"Then there was Al Gore who, like Kerry, was in Vietnam just long enough to get photos for his future political campaigns. (Apparently all future Democratic politicians take cameras to war zones.)

Gore enlisted in the Army in 1970 in a calculated gambit to help his senator dad in an election year. Young Al was given a cushy job writing for the Stars and Stripes newspaper, a bodyguard, and an exit strategy when Pops lost the election. After five months of this hygienic tour of duty, Little Lord Fauntleroy asked to come home, and before long he was safe and sound and preparing to flunk out of divinity school and then drop out of law school.

But over the next 30 years, Gore provided the media with increasingly macho reminiscences of his combat experiences in Vietnam – almost as vivid and stirring as the impassioned account he gave of being a tobacco farmer.

Thank goodness!  We have a sane man in office somewhere.  This will cause our dependence on foreign oil to drop and be extremely good for our economy.  Knowing that, I'm sure the democrats will try to stop it.  Remember....

What is good for America is bad for Democrats right now.

John Kerry doesn't know how to tell the truth.  He would have you believe that everyone is against Bush.  It's not true.  This election isn't going to be as close as the Democrats are trying to tell you.  This is going to be a 8 to 10 point win for Bush.  Bank on it...

Kissinger, Shultz, Others Dispel Myth Diplomats Oppose Bush

John Kerry would have you believe that America's diplomats as well as the career leftists ensconced in the State Department support his brand of anti-sovereignty globalism. This newly released letter from Diplomats for a Nonpartisan Foreign Service shows otherwise:

In the face of massive danger, over 1100 American Foreign Service officers recently volunteered for the 145 openings in our embassy and other diplomatic offices across Iraq. Former Foreign Service officers Ambassador L. Paul Bremer and now Ambassador John Negroponte agreed to take on perhaps the single most dangerous position in the world as head of the U.S. effort in Iraq. When the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were devastated by terrorist bombings in 1998, Foreign Service officers emerged from the rubble and kept doing their work.

President Bush and President Clinton knew, as their predecessors learned, that they could trust the Foreign Service to serve them without regard to party. This trust has been hard won as a number of Presidents have come to office distrusting the Service, convinced of a political bias – most often based on loyal service to the outgoing administration.

The undersigned have held responsible positions for the planning and execution of American foreign and national security policy in Republican and Democratic administrations; fifteen of us were career Foreign Service officers. Clearly former diplomats and military officers as individuals have the right, even the responsibility to participate in the political life of our country, and a number have gone on to hold elected office, including in Congress. Others have been called back to duty as political appointees. They have done so as individuals, not as spokesmen for their profession, and this is as it should be. To do otherwise we believe risks undermining the confidence of our elected leaders in the professionalism and integrity of our foreign and military services.

On June 16th, as the current presidential campaign went into high gear, a group calling itself "Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change” issued a statement attacking the Bush Administration’s foreign policy and established a website and organization to defeat President Bush in November.

Their unprecedented political statement elicited considerable comment in both the American and foreign press about supposed disenchantment in the career diplomatic and military services with the current administration. The impression that this created, that there is consensus among experienced diplomats and military officers about this administration’s policies, is simply wrong. Among the signers of our statement are supporters of this administration’s policies and those who are critics. "Diplomats and Military Commanders for Change” also stimulated at least two other campaigns among former career officers – one explicitly for President Bush and the other for Senator Kerry.

A core principle and deeply held tradition of our foreign and military services is now at risk. A president must be able to count on the career services to remain above the political fray, provide disinterested advice, and faithfully execute decisions taken.

We are immensely proud of the current generation in our Service and cannot remain silent while their professional integrity is put at risk. Across the globe, in circumstances of great danger and difficulty, we are the front line of America’s interests. As the walls of the entrance to the State Department attest, even more ambassadors have been killed in the line of duty than flag officers since the Vietnam War. Under Secretary Powell’s leadership, the morale and loyalty of the Foreign Service are high.

Whoever is elected this November must be able to count on the unquestioned, passionate commitment to nonpartisanship by the professionals of the foreign and uniformed services of the United States. We are confident the candidates for election this November – of whichever party – will respect and appreciate our determination that our career services remain and be seen as truly apolitical, in the best interests of our country.

Democrats hate this.  They say he is a traitor and not a real Democrat.  He is.  He's Conservative in many ways but in may other ways (social) he is very liberal.  Hopefully he will get into his life and his life in public service.  Maybe then, the media and press will be unable to hide from the public, as they have to this point, exactly why he is supporting Bush over Kerry.

The stock market ISN'T what makes an economy strong or weak.  Since the democrats believe it is (at least whenever the market is down.  When it's up they don't talk about it) I thought I would point out that we have had 4 days of great stock movement.  I'm sure we won't hear anything about it though,,,will we?

Gee..do you think this is going to make the rounds on CNN, ABC, CBS, etc..?  Absolutely not.  If it does I will donate $100.00 to the UN.  Of course, if this happened to Bush it would be front page news on every single media outlet in the nation..probably the world.

Inside the Asylum: Why the UN and Old Europe Are Worse Than You Think

This is a great book.  It is certainly worth reading.  The book will give you an insight into the  scam that is the United Nations and it will allow you to fully understand just how bad these supposed friends of the United States are.  I am more and more convinced that the UN is out to completely dismantle and destroy the United States and what we are about.  They were much happier when we were in the Cold War and Communists were running old Europe.  They long for those days.

As long as Conservatives are in the White House and Congress, we don't have to worry about that...

This just keeps getting funnier and funnier.  At least Clinton was a good liar.

Kerry: Cambodia Mission Top Secret

John Kerry's presidential campaign claimed on Tuesday that his Christmas 1968 mission into Cambodia was top, top secret - and that's why there are no documents that verify the implausible claim.

"During John Kerry's service in Vietnam, many times he was on or near the Cambodian border and on one occasion crossed into Cambodia at the request of members of a special operations group operating out of Ha Tien," Kerry spokesman Michael Meehan said in a statement. 

But Meehan told the Boston Globe that there was no paperwork to confirm the claim and he could not supply a date for the incursion.

Kerry continues his hypocrisy 2004 tour by visiting the VFW.  In 1971 he called the group:

"a paramilitary, pro-war organization" out of touch with young veterans."

What is the next stop for his hypocrisy tour?  The Vietnam wall?  This guy is a joke and a stain on our country.

Eventually the press is going to have to stop ignoring the lies regarding Kerry's service.

Sometimes at night, When I am afraid.  I cover my eyes.  I cover my shame.  So here in the dark, broken apart, come with your light and fill up my heart...

Oh Great light of the world, fill up my soul.  I'm half a man here, so come make me whole.  Oh Great light of the world, come to impart The light of your grace, to fill up my heart.

The wind of this world, can push us around.  Folding us up, and backing us down.  But here in the dark, I'm not alone.  So come with your strength and carry me home.

Oh Great light of the world, fill up my sould.  I'm half a man here, so come make me whole.  Oh Great light of the world, come to im part the light of your grace, to fill up my heart.

This is my absolute favorite some right now.  "Great light of the world" by Bebo Norman.  Actually the whole C.D. is great but this song really seems to hit me. 

In the case of John Kerry, many issues swirl around his service in Vietnam and his activities after he returned and became engaged with an anti-war, anti-American group known as Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Kerry could make hard evidence available to the general public through the mainstream media by just filling out a few simple forms and submitting them to the federal government. But Senator Kerry refuses to do that.

Kerry will not release his medical records. Kerry will not release his military records. Kerry will not release records of the investigation conducted about his anti-war, anti-American activities, and Kerry will not release his IRS records which would show the source of his wealth, suggested as enormous. In short, Kerry will not produce any real evidence about his true character. He is suggesting, I suppose, that we should take his word for it. Or perhaps we should just guess.

Like he says, Kerry could end all of the issues regarding his service in Vietnam if he wanted to.  All he would have to do, to prove all of his opponents wrong, would be to release his records.  Afterall, if there is nothing to hide, why not? 

Kerry is hiding something.  Who knows if what some of these people say is true or not.  We won't know until Kerry releases the records.  Until then, he looks guilty as sin.

South Dakota voters have a choice this year.  How could they possibly vote for the status quo?  What exactly has Daschle done for the residents in South Dakota and what has he done that is substantial in Washington except become a laughing stock? 

The tides they are a changin..

The "Scream Team" won today beating Greece 77-71.  Tim Duncan had 14 points and fouled out late in the game.  Does anyone really care? 

I don't remember a time that our nation was so down on a team in the olympics that was representing our country.  Can you?  Most of the people I know right now are actually watching the games and hoping that they lose.  I'm sorry but you have to be pretty bad for the US public to be openly hoping you lose.  Our nation is full of people who are extremely forgiving.  You can mess up, say stupid things, treat people horribly, let your country down and we are very willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and continue to root for you.  For a large portion of the country to be against you, you would have had to screw up majorly.

The "Scream Team" has obviously done that.  Not only do they play badly, shoot badly, not play team basketball, argue every single call the official makes, act like pouty babies, throw temper tantrums and tell people it's none of their business, they also lose badly and win ugly. 

This is not a fun thing to watch and this team of basketball players does not make me proud to be an American.  That is the worst part of all this.

What you liberals don't seem to get is that this is amazingly bad for the United States.  When you attack sitting war-time Presidents in front of audiences overseas, it undermines US foreign policy and makes it more difficult to get the job done. 

Go back and look at the Clinton Presidency.  Did you see Reagan, Bush, Ford or Nixon bashing Clinton in Europe?  No.  Why didn't you?  Because it's not right.  Of course, liberocrats have changed the rules and now they will forever be different. 

Bad for America = good for liberocrats.

What does all of this mean?  It means that the "weak" economy that Kerry/Edwards has been talking about is actually strong.  No matter how much Democrats talk down this economy, it keeps picking itself up off of the floor and moving forward.  Wonderful for Americans, bad for liberals who want power and who want to get into office.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page =list/rookieqbs" title="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page =list/rookieqbs" target="_blank"http://sports.espn.go.com/esp...

I thought this was pretty interesting.  It's funny, when you think of the great QBs of the last 20 years or so, most don't come up on a list like this.  Why?  Because most of them didn't have to start as rookies.  They were allowed to sit back and learn from a veteran.  Rookies these days rarely have that opportunity.  That is one of the reasons that second year QBs like Carson Palmer and Chris Simms are going to be successful.

By Jeff Merron
Page 2

Rookie starting QBs are a rare breed, because the conventional wisdom is that a year or two of waiting and watching on the sidelines will be a huge benefit to even the greatest potential pro quarterbacks. But some teams are forced, by lack of talent or injury, to give their rook the helm from the get-go.

Only two play-callers are likely to be thrown right into the action this season: the Giants' Eli Manning and the Chargers' Philip Rivers. Will they be among the best rookie QBs of all time? It won't be easy.

10. Bob Griese (Dolphins, 1967)
The Dolphins were a second-year expansion team when Grise arrived, and stunk throughout the rest of the 1960s. But Griese demonstrated right away that he could be the cornerstone of the teams that dominated in the early 1970s. He made the Pro Bowl as a rookie (Joe Namath was the other AFL QB), completing 50 percent of his passes for 2,005 yards and 15 TDs.

	Joe Namath delivered very quickly for the New York Jets.

9. Joe Namath (Jets, 1965)
Broadway Joe lived up to all the hype, winning AFL rookie of the year honors from both the Sporting News and the United Press and being named to the AFL All-Star team. He took over as starter in the third game of the season and threw for 2,220 yards; it would be the one of just two seasons in his career when he tossed more TD passes (18) than INTs (15).

8. Johnny Unitas (Colts, 1956)
Unitas was cut by the Steelers in training camp in 1955, and when the Colts gave him a chance in 1956 he didn't waste any time in becoming a star. In 12 games he completed 110 of 198 passes (55.6 percent), averaging a solid 7.6 yards per attempt. Unitas also ran 28 times for 155 yards and a TD.

7. Rick Mirer (1993, Seattle)
Jerome Bettis was named offensive rookie of the year by the AP, but many (including Football Digest) thought Mirer should have gotten the nod. Why? Because in 1992 the Seahawks' offense was the worst in the NFL, by far; the team averaged less than one TD a game. With Mirer at the helm the next year, the Seahawks' offense improved immediately, and the team picked up four more wins, improving from 2-14 to 6-10. Mirer started every game, and set rookie records in completions (274), attempts (486), and yards (2,833). He also carried the ball 68 times for 344 yards and 3 TDs.

It turned out to be the greatest year of Mirer's career.

LISTS GALORE!
At Page 2, we have a long, strong tradition of sports lists -- in case you missed some, or you're just curious, check out our List archive.

6. Peyton Manning (Colts, 1998)
Manning took every snap for the Colts in 1998, and set all kinds of rookie QB records in the process: most completions (326), attempts (575), and yards (3,739). He also threw for 26 TDs, breaking Charlie Conerly's 50-year-old mark. Manning was one of the top QBs in the NFL, leading the AFC in passing yards and attempts.

Manning did all this despite getting off to a terrible start; in his first four games, he threw 11 interceptions. He turned things around in the middle of the season. "The improvement is phenomenal," said Colts president Bill Polian in mid-December. "I've never seen improvement like this from a rookie in all my years."

5. Charlie Conerly (Giants, 1948)
The 1948 Giants weren't very good, but their 4-8 record was an improvement over 1947 (2-8-2), and started the uptrend that would take them to the playoffs in 1950. Conerly, who compiled the third-highest rookie passer rating ever (84.0), completed 162 of 199 passes for 2,175 yards. He also threw 22 TD passes, which stood as the rookie record for 50 years before Manning.

4. Fran Tarkenton (Vikings, 1961)
Tarkenton exploded out of the gates, leading the expansion Vikings to a 37-13 blowout upset of the Bears in their first game. Tarkenton threw for four TDs and ran for another in that contest. He was just getting started. The Vikings finished the season 3-11, but Tarkenton had a great year. He completed 56 percent of his passes and was third in the NFL with 18 TD passes. And he did what he later became famous for: he scrambled and ran like crazy, rushing for 308 yards and 5 TDs.

	From the very beginning, Dan Marino was a smash hit in Miami.

3. Dan Marino (Dolphins, 1983)
Marino, the sixth QB picked in the 1983 draft, didn't start for the Dolphins until the sixth game of the season. His debut, against the Bills, was a harbinger: he threw for 322 yards and 3 TDs in a close OT loss. He then led the Dolphins to the playoffs, in the process becoming the first rookie QB to lead a conference in passing. He also set a rookie record with a 96 passer rating, and became the first rookie QB to start in the Pro Bowl.

2. Bob Waterfield (Rams, 1945)
Waterfield was a runaway selection for NFL MVP and led Cleveland to the NFL Championship, throwing the long ball: he averaged 9.4 yards per pass attempt, and completed 52 percent of his passes. He also tossed 37- and 44-yard TD passes in the Rams' 15-14 championship game win over the Redskins.

1. Greg Cook (Bengals, 1969)
Cook had the potential to be one of the greatest QBs in NFL history. The Bengals drafted him out of the University of Cincinnati, fifth overall, and he stepped right into the young Bill Walsh's offense and threw deep often, connecting with tight end Bob Trumpy and wide receiver Eric Crabtree.

Cook started right away and led the Bengals to a 3-0 record before injuring his shoulder. He missed the next three games (the Bengals lost all three), then came back, still injured, and continued his great season. By the end of his rookie year, he'd thrown for 1,854 yards and 15 TDs. He also averaged 17.5 yards per completion and holds the rookie record for average yards per attempt, 9.41. And his QB rating of 88 remains the second-highest ever for a rookie QB, behind Marino. Cook was named AFL rookie of the year by the United Press.

Sadly, Cook was unable to overcome his shoulder injury and played only one more game (in 1973) in his NFL career.

What the Democrats and Kerry are actually running on...

Isn't that sweet...

"Not hiring people who might want to blow up our cities would seem to be a modest step if you want the government to help in your fund-raising," writes Leo, "but inside the ACLU this was a wildly controversial idea. But the organization wanted the money, so it made a decision: Make the agreement, but don't live up to it."

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39989" title="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=39989" target="_blank"http://www.worldnetdaily.com/...

So, the ACLU is against hiring based on whether or not someone is a Christian, but if you go to the ACLU and you are a terrorist they are  going to let that slide. 

This needs to be dealt with extremely quickly.  There needs to be heavy fines and penalties placed on the ACLU.  This is not something that should be allowed to happen.

Here is a link to stepdad's blog.  This story should not be pushed under the bed by the democrats or by the media.  Let me ask you the same question that stepdad asks:  If George W. Bush lied about being someone else would the press or the democrats let it go?  Would you not see it on every single newcast in the nation? 

The Kerry camp has a major credibility problem.  Every day they lie about something else.  The media has a major problem in that fewer people than ever believe what they say.  Why you ask?  Because of stuff like this.  They are blatantly partisan on the liberals side.

Good gosh.  Someone this concerned with his hair is thinking about running for POTUS?  I can see it now:

"Mr. President, AQ has just attack L.A.  Sir, they have taken over downtown!" says a Kerry staffer.  "What? How did that happen?" Kerry asks.  "Well, your sensitive war on terror has given the terrorists the ability to regroup and hit us hard."  the staffer says sheepishly.  "Well, darn it, hold on.  Let me fix my hair.  Where in the heck is that hairdresser!!!  I pay her good money to keep me looking great and she is no where to be found during a crisis."  Kerry laments.

Wow, he will be the first windsurfing, neat freak President ever!

Yo, lefties, how much longer are you going to spread that lie that you don't hate Bush just because he is Bush?  How much longer are you going to say "it's about issues".  We all know that is a crock of you know what. 

I heard a story today regarding Moveon.orgs new TV ad.  It is going to be in response to the Swift Boat Vets ad.  The ad only attacks Bush.  It does nothing to refute the supposed lies in the Swift Boaters ad.  You know why?  Because they can't refute them.  Instead of dealing the the truth, the left just attacks and hates.  Funny, and they have always touted themselves as kind hearted...please.

This is a great read.  Of course, liberals on this board and everywhere will hate it.  That is one of the reasons USAT killed it.  It's amazing, the USA today does things like this, they fire Ann Coulter for being too "over the top"in reporting for the Democratic National Convention then go and hire Michael Moore to report for the RNC.  Then they do things like this.  Please tell me that you liberals aren't so blind that you can't see the hypocrisy here. 

Anyway, this is a very interesting article,,,certainly worth reading.  Even if you aren't a Bush fan or a Conservative you should at least open your mind and click on the link.

Tell us liberals, what good would it have done?  This is just a case of liberals inventing an issue.  Problem is, John Kerry sat in a Senate room with other Senators when it happened.  Did he jump up to the rescue?  No, he sat there for 40 minutes before being told to get out. 

Liberal = hypocrite

So, for the longest time now Kerry has bashed Bush for not following up on Intelligence matters.  He has said that Bush has acted too slowly and that is not a way for a Comander in Chief to act.  Where has Kerry been though?  He has missed most of the hearings for his committee and yet he is touting the fact that he is a "hard working member" of the committee? 

Of course his response is that, while he's missed public meetings, he's had many private meetings.  The only way to know this is true is to release those records and it is something he has failed to give the green light on so far.  What a hypocrite.

This wasn't just a misstatement.  Kerry didn't just get his facts jumbled or accidentally say the wrong date.  He told a lie.  He lied to gain politically for himself.  You don't make a mistake 50 times on the same issue.  His mistake is that he is a pathological liar.

Shut up and sing.  Did anyone see that time the John McCain was on Saturday Night Live?  I remember this great skit where he was singing Barbara Striesand (spelling?) songs.  He was just plain horrible!  He was butchering these songs like no one else could.  Then, all of a sudden, he stops and asks the person next to him "Am I pretty bad?  I'm pretty bad aren't I?"  The person says yes and then John McCain says "So you mean I should stick to politics instead of singing?"  "Now you know how everyone feels about Babs, don't you?  She should stick to singing and stay out of politics". 

Shut up and sing.

NLPC Criticizes Springsteen and “Vote for Change”

Date: August 6, 2004
Contact: Peter Flaherty 703-237-1970

Peter Flaherty, President of the National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), today commented:

Bruce Springsteen can support anyone he wants for President, but it should be noted he has exercised questionable judgment in the past when venturing into politics. In 1990 he did a benefit concert, along with Jackson Browne and Bonnie Raitt, for the now-discredited Christic Institute headed by controversial attorney Daniel Sheehan.

Christic was the propagator of the conspiracy theory based on the alleged existence of a “secret team” of former intelligence officers who purportedly arranged cocaine deals to support the Nicaraguan contras and flood American inner cities with drugs. Christic’s racketeering suit against Reagan administration officials and contra supporters was eventually thrown out by the judge, who ordered Christic to pay the legal bills of the defendants. Sheehan’s credibility was questioned not only by conservatives but also by liberal and left-wing commentators.

I’ve seen Springsteen perform a number of times over the years, including a Boston Music Hall show in 1975, during the time he had his picture on the covers of both Time and Newsweek. I am sure that I am not alone in wishing he would stick to music.

Yesterday, when a group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth announced it would run ads critical of John Kerry, the sources of the Veterans’ funding was immediately reported and scrutinized. The finances of the Vote for Change tour deserve similar scrutiny.

According to a press release by the organizers, the Vote for Change tour is sponsored by MoveOn PAC, with proceeds going to America Coming Together (ACT). ACT is a 527 organization bankrolled substantially by Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros.

Ironically, Soros has also donated $18 million in recent years through his Open Society Institute to groups seeking to tighten campaign finance laws. For instance, Common Cause’s foundation has reportedly received $625,000 from the Institute. Earlier this year, when the Federal Election Commission proposed to subject 527s to election law, Common Cause and other Soros-funded organizations voiced opposition, citing a newfound concern for the First Amendment. Maybe big money has corrupted the reformers, or maybe they are reformers only when it suits their ideological agenda. END OF STATEMENT

NLPC promotes ethics in public life and sponsors the Government Integrity Project.

The only Democrat to come out and say it was wrong was John McCain and he really can't be considered a Republican, he is more of an independent.  The administration didn't dismiss it, they just took the high road.  Name one Republican who has come out and said the book is full of lies and it isn't true. 

You can't do that.  You won't find one Republican saying that.  Actually, you won't find one Democrat who has come out and debated the merits of this book.  You have liberals bashing the veteran heros themselves.  You have liberals and the media bashing the guy who financed it.  You have liberals bashing republicans because of it.  The one thing you don't have is the Kerry camp or Democrats debating the issues brought up in the book. 

Democrats need to stop lying by saying that everyone has dismissed this book already.  No one has.  This book scares the crap out of the Democratic party because it is still an issue.  Go take a look at the best seller list right now and see who is on top...

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

Let's take the first article on here first.  So, she wouldn't talk about the merits or discuss what about the ad was false.  She didn't know anything about Kerry's record.  Also, when she states that they are using a loophole in the campaign finance laws, I ask you this question:  Has she said the same thing about groups like Moveon.org?  I think not.  What a bunch of crap.  Instead of talking about the points brought up in the ad and debate those, let's just beat these people up and demonize them.

Secondly, about Olberman.  Once again, this is the idea that whenever a Republican does something like this it's political and when a democrat does it it's not.  What the democrats have done is make it so that the public is not concerned when there are terror alerts.  Ok, so, let's go through the situation.  At the start of the Homeland Security Departments run, they raise the terror alert but don't go into all of the details because they could give too much info and let the terrorists know we know.  The Democrats scream and throw a fit.  They say it's political and a lie because we aren't giving out all of the information.  They say we are manipulating the system for our own political gain.  Then, they have more warnings and the Republicans (White House) tells everyone, in detail, that the terrorists are targeting financial institutions and large buildings.  The Democrats scream and say it's political and the Republican party is using fear politically.  Then they make the claim that the intelligence is old and didn't matter.  Of course, we find out that it's been updated and the threat is real.  Still most of the country heard the Democrats lies enough to think it's partially true.  Once we found that it was a real terror threat, did you see the liberal media or politicians apologize?  No.

The Republican party is running against the Democrats and the media in this election year.

Ohhh, the Kerry campaign can't like this...or do they?  It kind of lends credibility to the claim that leaders of other nations want Kerry over Bush.  Now, publically, Castro and that crazy from North Korea have endorsed Kerry, who's next?  We shall see...

My blog is currently looking for a humorist.  Right now my blog is almost exclusively political and I need that to end.  I will always have a main focus on politics but if I don't bust up the 24/7 political bashing I might throw up :)

The person(s) who would be helping would need to make sure it's clean.  Of course, I would look at it first and approve it, but I need to make sure it stays clean because that ensures us the best search engine position!  This would be something like 3 or 4 times a week and would be beneficial to all involved.  For me, it would be something else to break up my day and crack me up and for you it would allow extra exposure for you and your blog as I would allow you to referrence the blog and link to my site.

Please message me if you are interested!

I am a Christian and I am a Christian 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, so I celebrate that fact every day of my life.  I believe it to be important to express that everyday.  My blog right now is currently almost exclusively politically driven.  It will stay that way because I believe it is an important topic.  If I keep it 100% political I may throw up and tear my hair out :) 

I've always been a huge believer in starting off the day buried in God's word.  I think it would be nice for my blog to be the same way.  I'm looking for someone who can write a daily morning christian piece.  I would love for it to be everyday, but if not, we can get numerous people to do this.  I believe this would be beneficial for everyone involved.  It would be wonderful for me to be able to read about my God early in the morning, it would give the writer another outlet for his or her ministry and it would allow your blog to receive more exposure because I would link to your site and allow you to referrence your blog. 

Please message me if this is something you would like to participate in.  Thanks!

Every Friday, I'm going to have different sports articles written that will go up on my blog, deshanews.tblog.com.  It will always be a Conservative/Polit ical styled blog but talking about that 24/7 is going to make me want to throw up.  Right now, I'm receiving quite a few hits already and I'm steadily moving up the hot blogs chart.  This could be a great opportunity for a sports minded individual who wants to write good articles and get extra traffic to his or her blog.  I will be looking for articles on the following sports:

-- Football

-- Baseball

-- Basketball

-- Other sports

Obviously, during the football season it takes priority over sports that aren't in season, but that is true for all of the sports.  Anyone who writes will be allowed to referrence their blog and I will put a link on mine as well.  This would be beneficial to all!  I would get good sports articles on my blog and the writer would be able to get double the exposure.  Please let me know if you would be interested by leaving me a comment and I will get with you regarding it!  Thanks...

What is that saying?  Where there's smoke there's fire?  Listen, there were many things said about the Clintons back in the 90's that I didn't believe.  All of the crap about them being part of the Mafia, all of the stuff about them having a murder ring.  I didn't buy any of that.  This stuff is different and I think it has legs.

Investigative Report: Another Clinton Scandal Coming?

Posted August 13, 2004

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/200 4/8/11/92635.shtml" title="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/200 4/8/11/92635.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.newsmax.com/archiv...

Not only that, but I have a question.  Why is it right for tax payers to be paying for John Kerry to not only run for President, but to attack Bush as well.  We are paying, I am paying to help attack a sitting war time President! 

When is the last time that John Kerry or John Edwards voted in the Senate?  Isn't their job to do this?  It's not only tax payers in their home states, but all tax payers that provide their income.  John Kerry and John Edwards are both paid around $160,000 per year.  What are they doing to earn this money?  Nothing.  Instead, they are running around the country, on our dime, and bashing our President.

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/200 4/8/13/144228.shtml" title="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/200 4/8/13/144228.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.newsmax.com/archiv...

Just amazing.  You have some guy out of Houston who gives the Swift Boat Veterans less than a million dollars and he gets creamed by everyone.  The press beats him up, the DNC beats him up, the Kerry campaign beats him up.  Why not do the same to George Soros.  He has specifically said it is his goal to see that Bush is defeated and will "put his money where his mouth is". 

Of course they won't say anything (they being the press and democrats).  This helps them with their objective.

Now I know why some say that the teletubbies are evil..

http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20040811-095728 -5824r.htm" title="http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20040811-095728 -5824r.htm" target="_blank"http://www.washtimes.com/op-e...

"I can sum up my stance on the Yucca Mountain Plan in four words: Not on my watch. As a senator, I voted against it. And as president, I will do everything in my power to ensure your backyard does not become America's nuclear waste dump."

  Actually, Mr. Kerry did all that a senator could do to ensure that Nevada was the site of the waste repository in 1987 by voting for the "Screw Nevada" bill, which essentially singled out the state as the site of the nuclear waste repository. Mr. Kerry voted six other times for measures supporting the project. In 1987, he voted for a provision (different from the "Screw Nevada" bill) that made the Yucca project almost inevitable. In 1997, Mr. Kerry voted against a provision, sponsored by the minority whip, Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, that would have required the written consent of governors for nuclear waste to be transported across state lines

More and more people are noticing...and it's not just the Republicans.  No wonder John Kerry doesn't want to focus on his time in the Senate.  He has voted so many different ways that he doesn't remember what side of each issue he is supposed to be on.  It's starting to bite him...

When his own people start to turn on him, you know he is almost finished.  I'm just wondering how he is going to go out.  He never seems stable to me and always look on the verge of explosion.  Of course, that is what he and his cronies do best right?  Explode... 

Way to go Palestinians!  Finally you are starting to understand that if you want real peace, it won't be with Arafat.  He doesn't want peace.

Since John McCain supports President Bush for reelection and is actively campaigning for him, since he spurned attempts from the left to get him on Kerry's ticket and since he is making statements like this, I wonder what the left thinks of this real Vietnam hero now? 

People right now are lamenting our involvement in Iraq.  They usually say the following:

-- There have been too many deaths.  One death is too many, anyone would agree.  What is the price though of freedom for an entire population?

-- We've been there too long and will be there longer.  Yep, you are right.  But we haven't been there very long at all compared to past wars.

Let's put the death toll in perspective:

• Solders killed in Iraq to date (17 mths): 931
  
• Soldiers killed in Vietnam War (64-73): 58,200
  
• Soldiers killed in Persian Gulf War (90-91): 382
  
• Chicago murder rate in 2003 : 599

So, let me get this straight.  The war that John Kerry is touting now killed over 58,000 and we think Iraq has been bad? 

Here is something that will help put the time spent in Iraq in perspective:

• 
  

  Iraq (Bush): 17 months and counting

  
  
• 
  

  Kosovo (Clinton): 4 years and counting

  
  
• 
  

  Bosnia (Clinton): 8 years and counting

  
  
• 
  

  Haiti (Clinton): 2 years

  
  
• 
  

  Somalia (Bush/Clinton): 2 years

  
  
• 
  

  Japan (Roosevelt): 57 years and counting

  
  
• 
  

  Germany (Roosevelt): 57 years and counting

17 months doesn't sound to bad after seeing that huh?  I just thought this would be worth showing and mentioning to those who weren't aware of it.  War is never fun.  People die in war and one day spent in combat is too long...ask anyone in the military.  The length of time and the casualties in Iraq so far have been much less compared to other wars in the history of the United States. 

Go America, God U.S. Soldiers and go United States leaders.  May God bless you all.

Face it: We are now an information society, with a premium on talk, not action.

That is the best line from this article.  We are a society, the liberals at least, who love for a President to say "I feel your pain".  We love for our politicians and leaders to have great intentions.  When a leader actually has good intentions and does what he thinks is best to make them become reality what happens?  He is called evil, nazi like, hateful, etc.. 

Why is it that a nation that was founded on action is so opposed to it?

On Loathing Bush
It’s not about what he does.

By: Victore Davis Hanson

For now Americans seem to be split 50-50 over the reelection of George W. Bush. Such a hotly contested election is hardly new. We saw races just as close in 1960, 1968, and 1976. Had Ross Perot not run in 1992 — and perhaps even in 1996 — Bill Clinton (who didn't receive a 50 percent majority in either of his presidential races) may well have found himself in the same predicament as Gore did in Florida, 2000 — struggling to win the Electoral College while losing the popular vote to George Bush Sr.

There are a number of issues in this contest on which reasonable people can differ. If one is out of work or without comprehensive health insurance, then the economy is rocky, to be measured not by historically low unemployment figures but by the number of actual jobs lost or gained. For others more fortunate, by any fair measure of housing, transportation, or consumer goods, the United States has achieved a standard of living well beyond even that of Europe.

One can argue that the post-bellum reconstruction of Iraq was unforeseeably messy and fouled-up. Or, one can argue that it's striking that after a mere three years the United States has liberated 50 million and implemented democratic reform in place of what were the two most fascistic governments in the world — all without another 9/11 mass murder.

Furthermore, our troubles with Europe can be seen as either provoking tried and tested friends or lancing a boil that was growing for years as a result of our different histories, the end of the Cold War, and the utopianism of the EU. We could all disagree further about education, illegal immigration, energy policy, taxation, and a host of other issues.

But what is not explicable in terms of rational disagreement is the Left's pathological hatred of George W. Bush. It transcends all contention over the issues, the Democratic hurt over the Florida elections, and even the animus once shown Bill Clinton by the activist Right. From where does this near-religious anger arise and what does it portend?

Let's start with the admission that much of the invective is irrational, fueled by emotion rather than reason. Thus the black leadership uses slurs such as "Taliban" and "Confederacy" against Bush, even though no other president has selected an African-American secretary of State and national-security adviser or pledged so many billions for AIDS relief in Africa. Liberals talk of social programs starved, but domestic spending under Bush increased at annual rates greater than during any Democratic administration in recent history. Just read howls of conservatives who worry about Bush's Great Society-like programs.

On foreign policy, Kerry rips Bush apart — but can't say whether he would have gone into Afghanistan and Iraq and is unable to specify how he would have gotten pacifistic Europeans on board. It is common to caricature Ashcroft as some Seven Days in May insurrectionist, bent on overthrowing the Constitution; but given the almost daily arrests of terror suspects in the United States, Kerry cannot tell us how exactly the Patriot Act has eroded our freedoms, much less why it is unnecessary in hunting down potential mass murderers.

What is it about Bush that elicits such hatred, that galvanizes even usually mindless rock stars, self-indulgent Hollywood actors, lethargic ex-presidents and vice presidents, and hypocritical Democratic senators to embrace such canonical fury? Why was the Left content to make fun of Ford's clumsiness, Reagan's forgetfulness, and George Sr.'s preppiness, but now calls George W. a Nazi and worse still? Why are there forthcoming novels and plays that discuss the assassination of George W. Bush? Why did we not get a Reaganwacked, a Reaganworld, a Lies of Ronald Reagan — a similar vast industry of paperback pulp equating Reagan with evil incarnate?

THE SOUTHERN ALBATROSS

Bush is a southerner, with a drawl — but not one who is either liberal or Democratic. We forget just how rare that is.

In fact, we have not seen a twanged president or vice president who was conservative in over a half-century. The previous rule? A Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Lloyd Bentsen, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, or John Edwards could serve or run for executive national office only on a simple triangulating premise — they offered moderate and regional balance to Yankee liberalism and yet did not in the slightest scare the rest of the country with images of a redneck South.

Any unrepentant conservatives from the south — former Democrats like a John Connolly or a Phil Graham — who sought the presidency quickly faded. Mr. Bush is unusual — an adopted Texan who reflects the attitudes and beliefs of most Southerners, and who counts on real political affinity rather than mere regional loyalty for support south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Nixon-Lodge, Goldwater-Miller, Nixon-Agnew, Ford-Dole, Reagan-Bush, Bush-Quayle, Dole-Kemp, Bush-Cheney — not a Southern conservative Republican to be found on any ticket, a trend that surely keeps Karl Rove's wheels spinning each night.

For the Left, Mr. Bush is automatically under a cloud of suspicion; he is an unapologetic twanger who likes guns, barbeques, NASCAR, "the ranch," and pick-up trucks. It matters little that George Bush's record on classical civil-rights issues is impeccable, without a hint of the deplorable racism of a younger Senator Byrd, a Lyndon Johnson, or an Al Gore Sr. Every statement Bush drawls out about religion, affirmative action, or abortion is forever suspect — sort of what would happen should a Germanic-sounding Arnold Schwarzenegger quite rightly lecture Californians about the need for greater order, efficiency, cohesiveness, and the willpower to regain pride and purpose. Necessary, yes — but for some, given his accent, Wagnerian and spooky all the same.

BIBLE THUMPING

Similarly, Bush's Christianity seems evangelical and literal. It comes across as disturbing to liberals of the country who see religion as a mere social formality at best, useful for weddings and funerals, perhaps comforting at Christmas and Easter of course, but otherwise a potential threat to the full expression of lifestyle "choices."

American politicos like their candidates to be Episcopalian, Unitarian, or Congregationalist, perhaps even mainstream but quiet Methodists or Presbyterians. Baptists of the southern flavor, or anything not found in a New England township, reflect a real belief in the literalness of the Bible — primordial ideas that religion is not a social necessity but a fire-and-brimstone path to eternal salvation.

Jimmy Carter came closest to the edge with his talk of being born again. Yet his liberalism, his close friendship with Walter Mondale, and his talk of American pathology convinced the Left that he was just a southern version of a Daniel Berrigan or William Sloan Coffin — a little weird, perhaps, but useful all the same in drawing the powers of Christianity into the liberal crusade. In contrast, if Bush evokes the name of God one one-thousandth as often as did Abraham Lincoln or Reverend Jackson, he is dismissed as an unhinged zealot eager to incite a Hundred Years' War with the Muslims.

MR. MANICHEAN

Critics accuse Mr. Bush of Manichaeism — of tough, black-and-white talk about good and evil. They are right. He certainly sounds different from the usual suburban moralist, especially in an age of irony, skepticism, and cynicism. Our era is dominated by pundits, professors, and journalists to whom hip nuance is everything. The Time magazine style of reporting starts off with Theme A, then reverses course half-way through with counterargument B, only to conclude with Theme A lite.

I like David Letterman and Jon Stewart, but like most Americans I can never really tell when or whether they are ever sincere. Not long ago a Frenchman explained to me why he hates Bush, who "thinks linearly" and has no sense of the "problematique." Face it: We are now an information society, with a premium on talk, not action. To suggest that one need not be 100 percent certain — but perhaps only 60 percent certain — to act is deeply disturbing. And when you add lingo like "bring 'em on," the caricature that Bush belongs on the main street of Gunsmoke rather than in Sex in the City or The West Wing is only strengthened.

Go back to the early 1960s and listen to the accents on shows like Have Gun Will Travel and GE Playhouse and contrast those characters' speech with today's television diction: The former are square, one-dimensional, blunt — almost flat and Midwestern in tone — the latter speak nasally, their speech drawn out and full of ironic, sarcastic under-the-breath asides, often striving to reflect sophisticated uncertainty, if not camp.

We not only have an evangelical Christian as president in the age or irony, but one who really makes it sound like we have the ability to make choices that are more right than wrong and then act on them. In a world in which our elites can give 1,000 reasons for inaction and not one for resolution, Mr. Bush seems precipitous, unnuanced, one-dimensional, and oh-so-retro.

RENEGADE ARISTOCRAT

George Bush is a traitor of the most frightening sort to his class: He is not an ideological tribune like Roosevelt or Kennedy, but someone far worse, who seems to dislike the entire baggage of sophisticated, highbrow society. An Eastern blueblood who initially did all the right things — Prep School, the Ivy league, Skull and Bones — he then, accent and all, not only went back to rural Texas, but embraced a popular culture antithetical to the preppie, wonkish, aristocratic world of the East Coast elite.

So Bush suffers additional invective not accorded his father, whose cadre of Wall Street stockbrokers, Council on Foreign Relations pin-stripers, and State Department sober and judicious insiders could assure the liberal establishment that, well, here was a man like us who believed in noblesse oblige, sent his kids to our schools, and simply had a smidgeon less compassion for the down-trodden.

But W.? His wife is pure Texas: a closet smoker from a family that does not have lots of money or status — not a Kennedy or Kerry spouse replete with loot, connections, and European sophistication. Unlike Teresa, Hillary, or Tipper, Laura has no angst about her own career; she doesn't give sermons about super-womaning as wife, mother, and activist exec. Worse still, Laura Bush is happy, proud, and likes who and what she is.

We don't hear that the Bush twins are like the Kerry offspring at Harvard Med, or slashing through Stanford Chelsea-style, or even like the Gore girls, lecturing the faithful on their father's liberalism. Somehow the purportedly non-New York Times reading, non-NPR-listening, non-Guggenheim-visiting George W. Bush veered off onto the wrong path, and his recalcitrance seems to drive his aristocratic rivals nuts. His antipathy, after all, is one of choice, not fueled by an outsider's envy or prior poverty.

"Pushy" neocons — not Shimon Peres groupies — advise him on Israel. Bush talks to confident black entrepreneurs, not the elite CEOs of the race industry. He is at home more with ministers in polyester than with elbow-patched, turtle-necked scholars of religion. So it is not just what Bush does, but how he does it that matters so much to the exasperated, out-of-the-loop op-ed boards, Malibu filmmakers, elite newsrooms, faculty lounges, and foundation panels.

In short, the Left hates George W. Bush for who he is rather than what he does. Southern conservatism, evangelical Christianity, a black-and-white worldview, and a wealthy man's disdain for elite culture — none by itself earns hatred, of course, but each is a force multiplier of the other and so helps explain the evolution of disagreement into pathological venom.

September 11 cooled the furor of these aristocratic critics, but Iraq re-ignited it. Not voting for George Bush is, of course understandable and millions in fact will do precisely that. But for those haters who demonize the man, their knee-jerk disgust tells us far more about their own shallow characters than it does anything about our wartime president.

And there is a great danger in all these manifestations of pure hatred. We are in a war. And in these tumultuous days, the Left's unhinged odium will resonate with and embolden not only our enemies abroad, but also the deranged, dangerous folk here at home.

"But, fortunately, our predecessors in the presidency and the Senate and the Congress . . . never forgot that fantastic American belief that freedom has the capacity to transform lives, transform enemies to allies in peace."

Bush concluded by telling the woman: "Someday, an American president is going to be sitting down with an elected leader from Iraq, huddled and talking about how to keep the peace. That's what your brother's mission is."

After watching the Iraqi Olympic team walk into the arena tonight it made me believe more and more.  God has given us a wonderful President for the times we are in.  Some day we will have a President who will be able to sit beside an elected official from Iraq in Peace time and have a stately dinner.  This future to come would never have been possible without the vision of GW Bush. 

Without that vision, those athletes in Athens tonight would be scared for their lives.  If they lost an event they would face torture and possible death.

Regarding Bill Clinton's attacks on Iraqi targets, Kerry said in 1997, "So clearly the allies may not like it...where's the backbone of Russia, where's the backbone of France, where are they in expressing their condemnation of such clearly illegal activity?"  John Kerry

AND

A year later, after additional bombing, Kerry said,

We have to be prepared to go the full distance, which is to do everything possible to disrupt [Saddam's] regime and to encourage the forces of democracy. ... [H]e can rebuild both chemical and biological. And every indication is, because of his deception and duplicity in the past, he will seek to do that. So we will not eliminate the problem for ourselves or for the rest of the world with a bombing attack. ... I believe that in the post-Cold War period this issue of proliferation, particularly in the hands of Saddam Hussein, is critical.

This was an interesting article.  How long are you liberals going to go along with Kerry?  I mean, 95% of you are and were against the war and yet not only did Kerry vote for it, he was for Bill Clinton's bombings even though they were against the wishes of our supposed friends in Europe.  Not only that, but he asked about France's backbone for not being for it!! 

Will someone please explain to me what his motive here is if it isn't purely political?

I thought that Kerry was going to only raise taxes on the "top 1%".  I was wrong.  He said that is what he was going to do but, afterall, he is a liberocrat and you can't trust a word that comes from his mouth.

Kerry wants to follow the Bill Clinton version of raising taxes.  Bill Clinton said he would help the middle class, but he raised taxes on them like never before.  Now Kerry, who voted in favor of those tax increases, wants to do the same this go around. 

So, let me get this straight Mr. Kerry, you want to raise taxes not only on the big bad wealth, but also on the little guy you supposedly represent?  Hmmm interesting strategy.  Thing is, you can't get out of this one...

I think we all can agree, Democrats and Republicans alike, this this is a scary situation.  I plead for everyone to say a prayer about those in Florida tonight.  May they be safe from harm and may they be able to get back to normal as soon as possible. 

Hurricanes are horrifying.  Here in Texas we have to deal with other things but nothing like this.  Any of you out there who have family in the area, please give us updates.  Thanks and God bless...

I just saw AvP.  I'm not sure what I expected.  I went because someone paid for my ticket so I suppose I'm a mooch.  Anyway, I won't give any spoilers.  I will say what I wished had happened...

It would have been great to have thousands of midget Predators fighting thousands of Giant Aliens.  Now that would have been entertainment! 

Has anyone else seen this yet?  If so, what did you think?

Alan Keyes speaks his mind and it's afraid to be politically incorrect.  If Bush selects O'Connor ahead of a conservative I'm going to throw a fit.  Bush needs to stay true to his conservative base.  They are the ones who will elect him back into office and if he neglects them and tries to appease the Liberocrats, he will lose.

Why do some in this country and around the world consider us bad guys and yet mute their critique of terrorists like these people?  Is it that they are afraid to upset them for the chance that they may be next?  These people need to be taken down.  We can't wait for them to strike us, we can't wait for another 9/11, we can't wait for another beheading.  We have to hunt these people down and kill them.  They don't deserve trials.  They don't deserve the legal rights that American citizens have. 

These people will get theirs, one way or another.  Here's hoping it happens as soon as possible.

It's a question worth asking.  Why did he resign?  Obviously, in our country, having an affair doesn't warrant resignation.  Have a homosexual affair, in the northeast, wouldn't keep you from running for office either.  By coming out and admitting to his "sin" he would have probably won by a wider margin.  So, the question is a good one.  Why?

Bill Clinton and his fans made it very popular to say that it's not about the personal life.  One's personal life has nothing to do with whether or not that person can and is doing their job effectively.  I agree with that to some extent.  Eventually, the personal life will take on a life of it's own and distract the official from doing what they need to be doing, but it is a correct statement.  Regardless of what I or any other conservative things, the American public is forgiving and sometimes to a fault.  We want to forgive our heros and statemen.  We want to believe that those in public office are good people doing their best for us.  He would hvae been forgiven.

What is underneath the surface here?  That will start to come out shortly.  It's already being reported that the person he had an affair with was the person he placed in a high level in his Homeland Security department.  This person had no business being in that department because he had no experience at all with intelligence or security of this kind.  Is there more to this story?  There are the allegations of wrongdoing as far as financial matters are concerned also.  It's obvious though, this is more than just a homosexual affair.  That is not what brought this man down. 

Someone in the NJ Democratic party forced his hand.  Why else would he step down and almost kill his career by resigning when he easily could have beaten it?  I'm sure time will tell, hopefully sooner rather than later.

This is just insane, what is our country coming to?  So, she is jailed for doing something that is perfectly legal?  What??  At what point do cigs get banned outright and at what point did the Government become the keepers of our children?

Something has to be done here.  If we are going to ban smoking, then fine.  Do it already!  If we aren't going to have a prohibition on smoking, then stop regulating when, where and how people can smoke.

I don't smoke.  I hate the way it makes people smell.  That doesn't mean that I have the right to keep others from doing it...since it's legal!!  Sheesh..we have better things to worry about in our society, whether or not someone is doing something perfectly legal around their OWN children is not one of them.

Why does this not surprise me?  Kerry has already stated he would fight a "sensitive" war on terror.  He has already stated that he wouldn't preemptively fight terrorists.  The only other option at that point would be to wait until they attack us. 

When he was Lt. Gov. in Mass with Dukakis, he even stated he wouldn't respond.  What is this about?  Is this the man that we want handling our national defense?  Does he mean this now?  Have things changed?  Even if his views have changed, why did he believe that then?  There are some questions that need to be answered and unfortunately for Kerry, he doesn't have the answers.

Kerry: I Wouldn't Respond to Nuclear Attack

John Kerry told Democrats gathered in Boston two weeks ago that he defended his country as a young soldier in Vietnam and he would defend it again as president.

But as Michael Dukakis' Lieutenant Governor, Kerry authored an executive order that said the state of Massachussetts would refuse to take part in any civil defense efforts in response to a nuclear attack on America.

The presidential candidate was an ardent proponent of the nuclear freeze at the time, and viewed Cold War civil defense preparations as an attempt to delude the American people into thinking a nuclear exchange was survivable.

This is totally off of the subject I normally talk about (thank goodness).  I live here in Austin Texas and the city is putting on a Lance Armstrong parade and rally today.  Since Lance is a hometown guy, it will be wild.  Last year there were more than 100,000 who showed up and there is expect to be more this year! 

My wife, my child and myself are going to be out there shouting and supporting.  If you have a chance, check out the Lance Armstrong Foundation online.  They do some great work...

So here we are, August 13th 2004, smack dab in the middle of the Presidential election season.  Before I get going, when will America get this passionate about city wide and state wide elections?  City and State elections are the ones that impact us most as average citizens.  Anyway, I was up this morning reading the paper and started to ask myself what issues are most important to me.  Here they are:

-- The Economy.  Not only the economy at the present time, but the economy in 5,10,15 years.  Having a new baby gets you to think a little further ahead into the future.

-- God and my ability to worship him openly and publicly if I want.  It seems that more and more, christians are unable to worship when they want. 

-- Abortion.  I think it is murder.  I'm not for outlawing it though.  I think the better way to get someone to change their opinion on this matter is to change their heart.  Forcing someone to not have an abortion instead of teaching them why it is wrong has never worked.

-- School choice.  I want the option to take my kids to schools that allow them the greatest opportunity to acheive great things.  Unfortunately, public schools are just not the answer anymore.

-- Safety.  I want to feel safe.  I want to feel safe from thugs and criminals within our country and I want to feel safe from terrorist attacks.

Those are just a few of the issues that are important to me.  Obviously there are more. 

After seeing what issues are important to me, I look at both of the candidates.  Who has the same concerns about the issues I deem important?  Not only that, but which candidate actually has a plan to tackle these issues?  When it comes to elections, we for too long have heard candidates talk a good game but not deliver.  Which candidate has a plan for your issue?  Which candidate is all talk? 

These are all important things to remember when determining who to vote for.  Has Bush lived up to your expectations?  Has Kerry shown with his service in government that he is ready to lead?

Ask yourselves these questions before you vote or decide.  Don't look at fighting and arguing.  Don't look at sensationalism and attacks. 

Now, go get ready to vote :)

http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/12 /110239.shtml" title="http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/8/12 /110239.shtml" target="_blank"http://www.newsmax.com/archiv...

What does it tell you when those closest to you don't even vote for the party you represent?  Normally, a child, stepchild, aunt, uncle, grandchild, etc.. knows that person pretty well.  What does it tell you when that person is "undecided" on whether or not they will vote for their step dad? 

Not even those closest to him like John Kerry.  After he loses this election, what is he going to do?  Go back to the Senate and continue his pitiful record of not voting and not doing anything substantial?  Hopefully, voters in Mass. will take this to heart.

I posted this over on the politics board because it involves others who post there...but I thought it would be good here as well.  Enjoy! :)

(I know that, while doing this investigation, I'm going to increase their traffic flow and therefore increase their standing on tblog, but the end justifies the means...)

While I have my thoughts on other groups of tblog screenames who may actually be one person, I thought I would focus on these three.  Let me read you their names once again:

CarteBlanche, Spymaster, Patriotacts and check it out.   

I thought we would take them individually first and then all three as a whole.  Let's look at Carteblanche first...

[link]

Carte is an interesting cat.  Here are a few facts about Carte and his blog:

-- Not once since the month of August began has he posted his own thoughts...hmmm.  They are all copied directly from the link he provided.

-- There are many many duplicates among the blogs he has had for the month.  I wonder if this is something that the others do as well...

-- Look at the right and left borders of his blog.  On the right you have headlines from buzzflash.com and from something called the "smirkingchimp"  On the left you have links to Guerrilla News, Moveon.org, The nation, Winston Smith's blog, Sam Adams blog (these are the other two blogs I have questions about..but I'll get to that later)

-- Carte also allows only one blog at a time on his page.  This makes it so that you have to click on archives in order to read the rest of his blogs.

Spymaster is next. [link]

Spymaster has quite a dirty mouth.  I don't know if I've ever received a message from him that wasn't littered with profanity.  Here are some observations from his blog:

-- He, like Carte, has many many duplicates in his archives of threads.  Something fishy is going on here.  If you don't believe me, go to his blog and see for yourself. 

-- Most, if not all, of his posts are copied directly from the link he provided.  This is interesting...why can't these guys think or type for themselves.  Only when they've been directly smacked around have they come out and typed their own words....

-- Spymaster, every time a Conservative makes a point, will come back and use those words against him in his next blog.  Look for yourself.  Example:  Someone will post a blog regarding a funny picture with Kerry and Kennedy in it.  Spymaster (and the other goons) will post a similar blog with something to do with Bush and Cheney being "f***wits". 

-- Spymaster also has Winston Smith's blog and Sam Adams blog. 

-- Spymaster, like Carte, has news from "buzzflash.com and The smirking chimp.  Their websites are almost identical.  Kind of like the same person put them together...

Next is Patriotacts.  [link]

Ditto to what I said for the other two...it's all coming together now.

-- Patriotacts, like his compadres before him, has countless duplicates on his blog.  Almost like there is an automated process with all of this that accidentally duplicates them.  You know how, when you send websites through search engine submissions, how they make you type in a code at the end?  They do this so that it's almost impossible for automated companies to mass mail to thousands of search engines at once.  This is what they are doing it seems.  But we will see...  At least they are a little more clever in regards to Patriotacts.  Some of the duplicates have different subject lines and titles.  The body though is the same. 

-- Once again, a vast majority of Patriot's blogs are copied straight from the articles.  Patroit's blog does seem to have a few original statements (how original can they be) but I would say 95% are copied with no personal commentary. 

-- One thing that all of these guys like to do is use profanity and these symbols on almost everything:  !!! ??? LOLOL HAHA.  This is a common theme in their comments on other blogs and on their own blogs. 

-- On the left hand side, once again you find Winston Smith's blog and Sam Adams blog.  One the right, once again, you find the "buzzflashnews and the smirking chimp.  These blogs are all set up exactly the same...just like the same person did all of them!

Finally we come to Checkitout. [link]

The checkitout character might be my favorite personality of this person.  He is the one that most frequently messages me or makes comments on my blog.  He is also the most vile, frequently resorting to profanity to try and make his weak case. 

-- I believe that Checkitout is this person's main blog.  There are more original ideas and thoughts (well, not really original, just not completely copied from the links that are provided). 

-- There are still tons of duplicates which tells me that when he is too busy working on his other blogs, he has some sort of automated process doing his work for him. 

-- The left side of the blog has Winston Smith's blog and Sam Adams blog...just identical to the other three blogs and the right has buzzflashnews and the smirking chimp just like the other three.  This blog is exactly the same as the other three...what do you guys smell here? 

In conclusion, all you have to do is study their blogs to see what is happening here.  Carteblanche, spymaster, patriotacts and checkitout are all run by the same person/group/organization /lowlife.  Their blogs are exactly the same, their writing style (when actually writing) is exactly the same, the way they post entire articles and no real thoughts are exactly the same, the number of posts so far this month are almost exactly the same, and on and on and on. 

My question is this:  Why?  Why would you want to deceive tbloggers like this?  Do you feel that the only way to get a majority is to cheat?  I mean, come on, the majority of users on here are probably already siding with you, aren't you preaching to the choir? 

If I were Dr. Forbush, I would be not to pleased.  He is the one that is being hurt with this.  He is a real poster and does his best to talk about what he believes in.  You others,,opps, other, are only hurting his cause. 

Dr., what are you going to do about this?  Are you going to pretend that they are four different people or are you going to call them out for being fake?  If you or anyone else has questions regarding this, let me know. 

Have a great night and happy blogging!

This is starting to pile up folks.  Kerry wanted his campaign to be about the 4 months he spent in Vietnam and that is exactly what he is getting.  The problem for Kerry now is that it is too late to reverse course and campaign on something else. 

I have a feeling that the cracks in the Kerry campaign swiftboat are starting to show.  I just wonder when Ms. Heinz/Kerry is going to go nutso on everyone.

By the numbers
    A few telling tidbits from a new Winston Group poll of 1,000 registered voters conducted July 20-21 and released yesterday: 



    S ixty-six percent believe Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry is a liberal, 58 percent believe "Iraq could not be ignored," 57 percent believe "Hollywood has gone too far" in attacking President Bush.
    I n a general election matchup, 49 percent favored Mr. Bush and 47 percent Mr. Kerry.
    O f the group surveyed, 36 percent were Democrats, 34 percent Republican and 29 percent were independents. 

Keep in mind, this was a poll that was evenly split between democrats and republicans.  There were also quite a few independents.  I am pretty sure I know why this poll didn't get any traction...it favors Bush in every way.

Someday, those eco-terrorists out there are going to have to stop telling the lie that the earth is getting warmer and it's human beings and the "big bad" United State who are causing it.

Of course, these guys are probably just Republican hacks paid by Cheney and Haliburton huh?  Sheesh...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&" title="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&" target="_blank"http://story.news.yahoo.com/n...;cid=573&ncid=573& ;e=11&u=/nm/20040812/ od_nm/odd_italy_hamsters_ dc

I'm sorry, animal cruelty is no laughing matter, I just couldn't pass thi up.  I'm sure you all know what is coming next but...sorry...I just had to. 

It's too bad that Kerry wasn't there to give the hampsters CPR. 

It has come to my attention that liberocrats haven't used the same tactics with this election as they normally do.  At the very start of the campaign, we heard liberocrats talk about social security and the elderly, education, abortion, etc.. but lately they have been amazingly silent.

Could it be that liberocrats base their beliefs on poll numbers?  Could it be that liberocrats have abandoned their normal themes because the polls show that they aren't working?  This is the case people.  This is why John Kerry is focusing on 4 months of his life (Vietnam) and nothing else. 

Look at poll numbers right now.  Is abortion at the top of their priority list?  No, it's not.  The other problem for liberocrats and this issue is that the general public sides in favor of Conservative thinking here, meaning they are against abortion.  Kerry voting no to a ban on partial birth abortions certainly makes this an issue he doesn't want to touch.

Social Security?  This is not an issue that the general public is too concerned with right now.  If you look at any opinion polls you can see this.  Most understand that the system is in dire straights and something must be done.  The problem for liberocrats here is that they've painted themselves into a corner on this issue.  If voters think that something has to be done with social security because it is going to be bankrupt sometime soon, they are on the side of the Conservatives who have wanted to change it for some time.  Kerry and his friends have been against changing it and have bashed Conservatives for wanting to do it saying that it would throw the elderly into the streets.  You can see why he is staying away from this...

So what is left for Kerry to talk about?  War and, his favorite topic now, Vietnam.  Here is the problem for Liberocrats on this topic.  Conservatives have a long history of supporting the military and it's troops and the democrats do not.  They were against the very war that Kery is touting now!  Kerry was against it and disgusted by the things he saw there and yet he continues to say he is proud of serving there.  What are you proud of Kerry, the war crimes you committed while there?  Kerry and the Dems are stepping into a hole in which they will have a hard time getting out of. 

Do the Liberocrats really want an election based on who is more popular amongst veterans?  Do the democrats really want to have a debate on who is more patriotic, on who is better equipped to fight the war we are in?  Right now it seems that poll numbers say that is their best chance to win.  What happens when those poll numbers start to slip as well?  What will they base their campaign on then? 

John F. Kerry said he would fight a more sensitive war on terror.  He has made a mockery of the liberocratic party since then and they have been trying to put out that fire in the last day or so.  It seems that the party of sensitivity is only that way when it is politically viable.

Is being sensitive such a bad thing?  Can't being sensitive be a great thing?  Yes and yes are the answers here.  Here is a list of things you should be sensitive with and things you shouldn't be sensitive with:

-- You should be sensitive when you are a dentist.  Cavities can hurt and if you aren't sensitive, that patient may not come back.

-- You should be sensitive when discussing your childs acne.  You kid comes home and tells you that people at school are calling him pizza face.  This is a difficult time for your child and it is perfectly fine to handle this sensitive situations extremely sensitively.

-- You should handle fine china very carefully and with as much sensitivity as possible.  They are delicate.

-- You should be sensitive to your spouse's needs.  You have to live with this person for the rest of your life,,and if you want that, you better be sensitive!

Things you can't afford to be sensitive about

-- We can't afford to be too sensitive to deadly prison inmates.  If you are, you may end up being their bitch.

-- One can't afford to be sensitive when your girlfriend or boyfriend is breaking up with you.  You have to show them who is in control :)

-- The United States can't afford to be sensitive to terrorists.  They are out to kill us.  They have killed us abroad and on our homeland.  We can't afford to be sensitive to those who are sympathetic to terrorists.  Yes, this means even in situations and relationships with Saudi Arabia.  (this is not a political thing so don't bring it up.  Our relationship with the Saudis has spanned decades and didn't start with Bush.)  We have to deal with terrorists and those who support them with an iron fist.  If we don't they will KILL us and those who support us.

I'm not sure if Kerry and the liberocrats understand this.  I think they would rather have a situation like in Spain where they are threatened and then back off of their stance.  I think the liberocrats see the fact that, for the time being, terrorists aren't attack the Spanish because they were appeasers.  We will not bow down to terrorists.  We will not give them what they want.  We can't afford to be sensitive to them or their fight. 

Sensitive, Senator Kerry, should not be part of your terror vocabulary.

Would Kerry's sensitive war be able to handle this fight?  Personally, I think we are being sensitive with this...unfortunately.  I think we need to be a little more forceful.  They are holed up in a mosque and know that we won't go after them in there.  I just know if we were in the situation, they would come after us regardless.  Why?  Because this is war and has nothing to do with their Mosque.  I say we drop a few 500 lb bombs on that mosque and give them some skylights :)  (I heard someone say this today and had to use it!)

Do any of you think that liberocrats will come out and demand a recount? haha...  This was what had to happen.  The mayor of San Fran did these weddings illegally and he knew this was going to happen. 

Funny thing is, I haven't heard gay marriages being debated much on the left.  Why isn't Kerry using stuff like this against Bush?  Could it be that the majority of Americans don't favor gay marriage?  That is what cracks me up about liberocrats.  People hate Bush because he is "stubborn" and being "stubborn" makes you "stupid".  Sorry libs, that isn't being stubborn, it's having actual beliefs that you stand by.  Kerry was harping on this issue until he realized it wasn't a winning one.  He all of a sudden realized that this once democratic party issue, is a non issue as far as American citizens go.  They are opposed to the liberal mantra of gay marriage.

This is really starting to get under my skin.  I've started to hear exactly what the liberocrats message will be in the coming month or so.  In the next month, the death toll for American servicemen and women will probably reach 1000.  Liberocrats are going to use this as a rallying point.  They are actually counting the dead as though dead soldiers in Iraq is a good thing for them!  What??

Liberals, this is why your party is almost dead.  You benefit from dead servicemen?  How is it possible that a dead soldier is good for your party and "cause"?  In your case the end justifies the means. 

Every time there is a bombing, every time a soldier is injured or killed, every time one of those insurgents speaks, you liberals jump for joy.  How do I know this?  Because many of you post it on here.  The glee in your rhetoric comes through loud and clear.  You are actually happy when these things happen because, in your warped minds, you think this hurts Bush and helps your "cause". 

When will you learn?  When you will understand that you are the ones creating "two Americas".  Republicans believe there should be one America.  One America united in our charge as Americans.  One American united in the belief that our way of life is the best and the belief that we believe others should be able to, some day, benefit from the same.  On America opposed to terrorists, suicide bombings and our soldiers being killed.  How can you be part of that America when you joyfully report soldiers being killed.

I understand reporting these numbers.  No one wants people to die, espcially when they are our own troops.  This is war though, whether you agree with the war or not, this is war and that is what happens.  How does a rising death toll benefit you?

So, veterans are for Kerry huh?  This website has a list of over 6,000 vets saying they are for Bush.  Are these 6,000+ veterans just "republican cronies", are the "stupid and ignorant", or are they just representative of veterans across the country. 

Last time I checked, Bush had a 23 to 25% lead among veterans over Kerry.  Veterans think that Kerry is a traitor.  They also know him to be a Liberocrat.  Liberocrats have, for decades, hated the military (see Vietnam) and despised soldiers.  Now they are trying to pretend that they all of a sudden like the military?

Even Liberals and Democrats have to be pleased with this.  It seems that every day, more and more terrorists are killed and or captured.  Every single one of these people who are in custody means the world is that much safer.

Does anyone disagree with this??

"I find voters are blinded by their hatred of Bush and ignore the true issues," wrote AOL member Tarraballa on a messageboard related to the poll. "That is scary to me. Kerry may be winning in the war of 'hating Bush,' but he is not the best man for president. Do you honestly want Kerry in office when 9-11 hits again? I wouldn't."

Gee, that sounds like something I've been saying for months.  Bush is the best man for the job and people know it.  Oh, wait, this poll doesn't count because it isn't favorable to the democrats.  Democrats even had the chance to vote multiple times if they had different screen names.  Ha! 

Oh well, this should be fun...

Thank goodness for our youth.  It's about time that people start to stand up for what is right.  The New York Times is blatantly liberal and is consistently slanted to the left.  They are no longer the standard bearer in journalism and, quite frankly, is a horrible paper now. 

I'm sure this student will be bashed like crazy.  I'm sure he will be called a "right wing fanatic".  This is what happens when you take on the establishment.  That's ok, fight on brother.

Wow, Liberocrats and the Kerry team hate to see good news like this.  Remember, good new for America = bad news for liberocrats like Kerry.  Even with Kerry, Edwards and the entire Democratic party bashing and smacking down the economy, we still continue to have positive news.

While the July rebound was smaller than the 1 percent advance that many economists had been expecting, the 0.5 percent June drop was revised upward from a much worse the 1.1 percent decline that the government had originally reported.

The July increase was led by a 2.4 percent jump in auto sales which followed a 3 percent drop in June. Auto dealers, alarmed by the sharp fall off, reinstituted attractive dealer financing incentives that lured buyers back.

The strength in July provided hoped-for evidence that the economy was coming out of what Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan termed a "soft patch" in June, when a variety of economic indicators suddenly weakened.

Animal rights activists, same as eco-terrorists, are a threat.  They believe, sincerely, that Animals have just as many rights, if not more than human beings.  They believe that monkeys can speak to us and they believe that salamaders are more important than building schools.

I'm all for protecting wildlife when we can.  I hate hearing stories about animals being abused by their owners and I hate seeing dead deer on the side of the road.  That being said, that isn't the same as a human life.  Animals don't deserve the same rights and respect as human beings.  These people believe so sincerely that this is the case, that they are willing to act violently toward human beings to prove their point.

Every time I see one of these idiots going to jail, I smile and toast to their 6 months in prison.

Our crazy message of the day is actually doubled today!  Our good friends Patriotact (Patriot?  for what country?) and Spymaster.  They routinely say incoherent things, but tonight was especially good.  Check it out for yourself! (like that pun?)

"CheckItOut has mind enough to see what we all see: deshanews is an ugly nasty mean liar who is discredited and idiotic.

But then we've agreed we'd rather have you post your vile lies and bullshit than beat-and-torture your poor desperate wife and molest your kids. :("

AND

"Nope, Dubya will simply wage pre-emptive warfares based upon heinous lies that place us at greater risk than ever before. Of course, the AWOL deserter drunkary party-boob wasn't willing to go to war himself.

But Dubya's quite willing to massacre, torture and rape people in order to make Halliburton & Carlyle Group rich. Which is why the Dimwit Dubya & Fuckwit Cheney are going down. We won't let them rig this election this time!"

Liberals on this board are too funny.  They call Republicans Nazis who kill innocent children and who increase terrorism, but when they are proven to be the ones increasing terrorism they scream and yell and call you an idiot.  That is a liberal folks.  These people, once again, have proven themselves to be anything but intelligent.  They have shown to have the vocabulary of an 8th grader and a dogs ability to reason. 

I especially like the part where one of them attacked my family personally in the message.  Isn't it funny?  This is what liberals do.  They attack, defame, lie, cheat, steal, anything they can.  Since they can't reason with logic, they resort to this sort of thing.

Congrats guys, you both have our crazy message of the day!!  Now, go to bed, it's way past your bedtime kids.

Ok, I'm going to give Drforbush credit, he actually believes what he posts, he looks up logic and supposed facts and tries to lay them out to convince others he is right.  I don't agree with him at all, but he does it in a way that could be considered convincing. 

Besides the good Dr., I don't think there is another liberocrat that is anything more than someone who copies articles.  Not one of you has a mind of your own.  You rarely interject your own thoughts, and when you do, you show us your educational level.  When facts are presented to you, you come up with your own blog basically ripping off the previous one from your conservative counterparts. 

I'm calling you guys out right now.  You are all losers...every single one of you (except Dr.).  You people do nothing buy spray lies, curse, call people names, read directly off of the DNC's website, John Kerry's website and every socialist website around.  You liberocrat posters are the reason there is a terrorism problem.  You aid terrorists who want to kill our country by doing whatever you can to discredit the war on terror and those who lead it. 

You can say this is wrong, but I dare you to prove it.  You are the ones who would have been against going after Hitler in WW2.  You would have said he wasn't directly affecting us, so who cares.  You know this is the truth.  You are the people who hated Reagan for telling the Russians to "tear down this wall".  You are the ones who didn't think it was right to fight against Russians because you thought that their way of government was better than ours. 

You are the party of hate.  You are the party of terrorists.  You are the party of entitlement.  I hope you are happy with yourselves...

(Ok, sorry, I'm better now.  I had to let that out.  It's been a tough day and one of my fellow co-workers...who is a liberal, pissed me off with his lies)

Another showing of Democratic hypocrisy.  At some point, Liberocrat will come after little people like myself because they can.  See, it's ok to silence those who oppose you..at least if you are in the Democratic party.

I can say with amazing certainty that if Bush had done something like this it would be all over every single national broadcast.  Instead, no one has heard about it. 

Kerry is a dishonest person.  He is a liar and he is willing to play with fire in regards to national security and the truth to the American people.  Kerry is your normal Liberocrat though.  He lies through his teeth, spins things in his direction, then ignores the truth when it is presented to him.  He attacks (ok sorry, his people attack) those who disagree with him and he is out to discredit anyone, even veterans, who come out and oppose him. 

Democrats, this is the man you want running the country?  If so, it speaks of your ethics, values and morality.

Why do liberals love this guy?  You know why?  Because he isn't Jewish and he hates the United States.  Anyone who has any knowledge of his history and the history of the conflict surely understands that the so called "slavery" of his people, happened because he attacked Isreal in the first place. 

He doesn't want reform, he doesn't want peace.  Peace means he has no power, in his eyes.  The only way he gets others to side with him is to show that he is the small guy on the block and everyone else is out to get him.  He is a waste of time and it's about time that the World and liberals in the United States see this fact.

Remember all of the saliva the press lost over the posibility that John McCain might run with John Kerry?  :)  Democrats hate pictures like this:

Before you dismiss this, read it.  There are some interesting quotes and some interesting links to help prove their case. 

I wonder how Democrats will spin this.  I mean, they have always been for lifting sanctions on Cuba.  If you are in favor of lifting sanctions on Cuba, that has to mean you don't think that Castro and Cuba are a threat right?  If you don't think they are a threat, why would you deny this?

Smells fishy...

All I can do is shake my head.  I remember Bill Clinton doing this.  He was the master.  As much as I didn't like him and as much as I thought he pandered to whomever he could for votes, he knew how to connect to his audiences.  I remember Gore trying to do this.  He was pathetic at it.  I remember Hilary doing this, she too was/is no good at it.  Now there is Kerry.  When will Democrats/Liberals stop trying to be something they aren't.  Clinton connected with people (for some reason) and they don't. 

When you don't connect with people, you have to tell bigger lies.  Kerry doesn't connect so he is trying like crazy to do something that will show "he knows and feels their pain".  So, what he does, is take an example of someone who is sick and spin their situation into a campaing issue.  This lady's husband directly said that this wasn't true. 

John, you need to stop this.  It's going to come back and bite you in the butt.

NEW YORK - Veteran "60 Minutes" correspondent Mike Wallace was handcuffed and driven to a police station Tuesday night after arguing with city inspectors over where his driver had parked.

The dispute began at about 8:30 p.m., as Wallace was leaving a Manhattan restaurant, WCBS-TV reported. Wallace, 86, saw two inspectors interviewing his driver, who they said was double-parked.

The Taxi and Limousine Commission said Wallace became "overly assertive and disrespectful" and interfered with the inspectors, according to WCBS.

At one point, Wallace lunged at one of the inspectors, according to the commission. The other inspector then handcuffed Wallace and drove him to a police station, where he was issued a summons for disorderly conduct. He was later released.

Luigi Militello, the restaurant manager, told WCBS that the inspectors "manhandled" Wallace during the dispute.

CBS said in a statement Tuesday that Wallace was at home and that more information would be released if it became available.

Richard Leibner, a spokesman for Wallace, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

How is a nation supposed to deal with threats like this?  Do we run and hide and give up like Spain?  Do we sell arms to them like our European neighbors?  Do we put on the false impression that we are doing something, like the Clinton administration did for 8 years, when we are really doing nothing?  Do we fight them sensitively like Kerry wants us to?  Do we wait for them to actually attack us again before we strike like Demcrats/Liberals/Kerry want?  Or...

Do we proactively search for this information (like we already have now), search for those in on the plot, let everyone know that there is a threat so the public can be as prepared as possible, look for these terrorists, and squash them like the dirt they are? 

The Bush administration came up with the Bush doctrine.  The Bush doctrine basically is very simple yet different from U.S. Policy in the past.  In the past, we would have done what the first paragraph said.  We would have waited to be attacked, then we would have responded weakly.  Now, we don't put ourselves in a position to have to react.  Does this mean that we will always be able to strike before we are hit?  No, that's impossible.  Does it mean that we will thrwart every terrorist attack?  No, that too is impossible.  Does it mean that terrorists know we are looking for them?  Does it mean that, if we find a plot by them, we will strike them before they hit and kill us?  Yes it does. 

How does this not make sence to Liberals?  It doesn't make sense to them because they are not strong on National Defense.  They never have been, its just not been a priority.  They are the party (Democratic Party) of anti-war, anti-military, anti-patriotism, pro-europe and pro-terrorist's rights.  Is this the party you want protecting you?

Think about that as this latest plot by Al Qaeda is revealed...

High-fat, high-calorie foods and sedentary lifestyles play a big role in obesity. But for Deuel, who has battled his weight all his life, genetics is partly to blame. He weighed about 90 pounds in kindergarten and more than 250 pounds in middle school.

"Even though he's faced negativity all these years, he's not a negative person," Edith Deuel said. "He's almost always been able to stay bubbly and make jokes and be happy."

Deuel tried many diets. Even now, he sometimes longs for his favorites: pizza and burritos.

Sigh...at least in this article they mention the fact that his favorites are pizza and burritos.  That sounds like the problem,,,not genetics.  I'm sure I sound harsh and insensitive, but come on.  At what point do you not see yourself in the mirror and say, "wow, I gotta stop eating".  I only wish there were a picture...that would help just about everyone with their assorted diets.

Wow, this is amazing.  I can't believe liberals would go this far.  I have an idea of what the Kerry camp would say about this:

"We do not endorse any such actions or website.  This does pose a question.  Why do people feel this strongly?  Why would they hate GWB this much?  I say that they are right.  I was in Vietnam for chrissakes.  GWBush lied.  He is a big business person.  Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah..."

What do you liberals think about this crap?  Is this something you detest or is this where your party is going?

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that it certain was a photo op.  They want to show John Kerry as a "happy go lucky kind of guy", someone who knows how to have fun and be playful as well as serious. 

Then I started thinking about it.  Without meaning to, Kerry with this photo, has defined his campaign so far.  He is walking a thin line, he is walking a tightrope, he is doing a balancing act.  He says one thing to one group and something completely different to another.  The balancing act is about to blow up in his face. 

Remember Al Gore?  Remember how Gore had so many problems in the debates because, for one, Bush kicked his rear, and secondly because Bush called out Gore on all of the lies and flip flops he had told throughout the campaign.  The same is going to happen this year.  Kerry will have no answer for most of the questions that will be brought up.  When he is on national television debating someone, he won't be able to avoid answering the question. 

Kerry's tightroping campaign, coming to an end in a city near you!

You've got to be kidding me.  So, running a cookie stand, one in which he stole the idea from someone else, makes him an expert on small businesses?  John Kerry is amazing. 

I really do love this guy.  If it didn't mean the end of capitalism, the beginning of socialism in the United States, I might want him to get elected just to keep him around for four more years.  He provides endless entertainment and laughs.

How many of you have heard of this book?  John Kerry wrote it after leaving Vietnam.  The cover of the book has an upside down American Flag and a bunch of war protesters mocking a very famous American image.  Does this look like the cover of a book of someone who was proud to serve in Vietnam as he has said?  Does this look like someone who should be our commander in chief?  How do you give a book like this to military personel and say "Hey, read this, your President wrote it". 

John Kerry and all liberals have a basic hatred for the military.  If you are a military person, you already know this.

Let's look at this situation:

-- A book that describes and talks about different ways to kill President Bush.

--A movie filled with documented lies about the President.

--Whoopi Goldburg and other celebrities using crude humor at every chance against the war-time President.

--Rock bands getting together, on Moveon.org's dime, to trash the President.

--Documentary after documentary slamming the sitting War-time President.

--Democrats stealing classified documents that would hurt them.

--Book after book after book bashing the sitting war-time President.

--Plays like the one I linked above.

All of this and Kerry doesn't have a 15 point lead?  Liberals have gone overboard this election season.  They are and continue to show their hate.  They are sad excuses for Americans.  You liberals can tell me that I have no right to say that, but they you say that you have the freedom of speech to spew your crap everywhere.  Hypocrits. 

John Kerry tries to be everything to everyone.  He and his associates frequently screw up and "flip flop" on issues.  This is a known fact.  What isn't always known, since the press overlooks these sort of things with Mr. Kerry, are the actual quotes.  Some of the other quotes are interesting as they pertain to his being a major liberal and some are just plain funny.   Here are some of them...enjoy:

Flip-Flopping

"Mr. Kerry voted for the USA Patriot Act, Mr. Bush's No Child Left Behind education bill and the Congressional resolution authorizing the president to use force in Iraq, only to sharply criticize all three once he became a presidential candidate. Mr. Kerry counters that his quarrel is with Mr. Bush's execution of the policies, but he struggled for months to explain his shifting stance on the Iraq war." -- Todd S. Purdum, Jan 25, 2004 in the New York Times

Wade litmus test after explaining that he doesn't believe in litmus tests

"If that amendment does not pass, will you then vote against the $87 billion?" -- The LA Times Doyle Mcmanus, 9/14/03

"I don’t think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That’s irresponsible. What is responsible is for the administration to do this properly now. And I am laying out the way in which the administration could unite the American people, could bring other countries to the table, and I think could give the American people a sense that they're on the right track. There's a way to do this properly. But I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job." -- John Kerry, 9/14/03

"I'm proud to say that John (Edwards) joined me in voting against that $87 billion ..." -- John Kerry, 7/12/04

Massachusetts Liberal

By contrast, the other Senator from the Bay State, Teddy Kennedy, has a lifetime rating of 88. "That makes Kennedy the conservative of the two," chortled Republican National Chairman Ed Gillespie as he visited New Hampshire last week on an anti-Democratic strafing run." -- James Pinkerton, 1/26/04

Misc

"President Clinton was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second." -- John Kerry, 2004

No Class

"Did The Training Wheels Fall Off?" -- John Kerry's comment after hearing that George Bush fell off of his bike

"I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, 'I'm against everything'? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to f*ck it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did." -- John Kerry in Rolling Stone

"No one's talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day. It's a lot easier than you think and it doesn't cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes. You target (Bush's) natural constituencies. For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you're an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion. Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, 'What's all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?" -- From one Kerry's Celebrity Supporters, Moby, who Kerry has even performed with on stage

"We're going to keep pounding, let me tell you. We're just beginning to fight here. These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen. It's scary." -- John Kerry, March 2004

"Somebody told me the other day that the Secret Service has orders that if George Bush is shot, they're to shoot Quayle. There isn't any press here, is there?" -- Nov. 16, 1988

Kerry added, "I know where that anger comes from, I know where the frustration comes from." -- John Kerry, May 2004

Truthful?

"The senator with the most special interest money over the last 15 years is John Kerry who’s just been running around telling all Americans how he’s going to get the special interests and don’t let the door hit you on the way out. That is exactly what’s wrong with American politics and that’s why 50 percent of the people in this country don’t vote." -- Howard Dean on Feb 1, 2004

Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV. "The family has it. I don't have it," he said." -- The Guardian, April 23, 2004

John Kerry On Saddam's Weapons Of Mass Destruction

"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." -- From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998

"The Iraqi regime's record over the decade leaves little doubt that Saddam Hussein wants to retain his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and to expand it to include nuclear weapons. We cannot allow him to prevail in that quest. The weapons are an unacceptable threat." -- John Kerry, 10/9/02

"(W)e need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. ...And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War." -- John Kerry, 1/23/03

"If you don't believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me." -- USA Today on 2/13/03

John Kerry For The War In Iraq

"I think we ought to put the heat on Saddam Hussein. I’ve said that for a number of years, Bill. I criticized the Clinton administration for backing off of the inspections when Ambassador Butler was giving us strong evidence that we needed to continue. I think we need to put the pressure on no matter what the evidence is about September 11." -- John Kerry On "The O’Reilly Factor", 12/11/01

"I would disagree with John McCain that it’s the actual weapons of mass destruction he may use against us, it’s what he may do in another invasion of Kuwait or in a miscalculation about the Kurds or a miscalculation about Iran or particularly Israel. Those are the things that - that I think present the greatest danger. He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat." John Kerry, "Face The Nation", 9/15/02

"George, I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry, Democratic Debate, 5/3/03

"Iraq may not be the war on terror itself, but it is critical to the outcome of the war on terror, and therefore any advance in Iraq is an advance forward in that..." -- John Kerry 12/15/03

John Kerry Against The War In Iraq

"If you think I would have gone to war the way George Bush did, don't vote for me." -- John Kerry, Jan 2004

"Are you one of the anti-war candidates?" -- MSNBC’S Chris Matthews, 1/6/04
"I am - Yeah." -- John Kerry, 1/6/04

"With respect to getting our troops out, the measure is the stability of Iraq. [Democracy] shouldn't be the measure of when you leave. I have always said from day one that the goal here...is a stable Iraq, not whether or not that's a full democracy." -- John Kerry waffles on Democracy in Iraq, April 2004

War On Terrorism?

"Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts said during last night's Democratic presidential debate that the threat of terrorism has been exaggerated. "I think there has been an exaggeration," Mr. Kerry said when asked whether President Bush has overstated the threat of terrorism. "They are misleading all Americans in a profound way." -- Washington Times on Jan 30, 2004

"Running For Senate In 1984, Kerry Called For Cancellation Of At Least 27 Weapons Systems And Reductions In 18 Other Systems. “[Kerry] recommended cancellation of 27 weapons systems including the B1 bomber, the cruise missile, MX missile, Trident submarine, Patriot air defense missile, F15 fighter plane, Sparrow missile, stealth bomber and Pershing II missile. He recommended reductions in 18 other systems including the joint tactical air system, the Bradley fighting vehicle, the M1 Abrams tank and the F16 fighter plane." -- RNC Research

"John Kerry said yesterday that he will treat the war on terror "primarily" as law-enforcement action..." -- Washington Times, April 19

John Kerry On Vietnam

"I am saddened by the fact that Vietnam has yet again been inserted into the campaign, and that it has been inserted in what I feel to be the worst possible way... What saddens me most is that Democrats, above all those who shared the agonies of that generation, should now be re-fighting the many conflicts of Vietnam in order to win the current political conflict of a presidential primary." -- John Kerry back in 1992

"The race for the White House should be about leadership, and leadership requires that one help heal the wounds of Vietnam, not reopen them." -- John Kerry on Feb 27, 1992

"We do not need more division. We certainly do not need something as complex and emotional as Vietnam reduced to simple campaign rhetoric." -- John Kerry on Feb 27, 1992

We will not quickly join those who march on Veterans' Day waving small flags, calling to memory those thousands who died for the "greater glory of the United States." We will not accept the rhetoric. We will not readily join the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars -- in fact, we will find it hard to join anything at all and when we do, we will demand relevancy such as other organizations have recently been unable to provide. We will not take solace from the creation of monuments or the naming of parks after a select few of the thousands of dead Americans and Vietnamese. We will not uphold traditions which decorously memorialize that which was base and grim. -- John Kerry, in "The New Soldier"

"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions and all of this is ordered as a matter of written established policy by the government of the United States from the top down." -- John Kerry, April 18, 1971

"To attempt to justify the loss of one American life in Vietnam, Cambodia or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom...is to us the height of criminal hypocrisy." -- John Kerry, 1971

“I've never made any judgments about any choice somebody made about avoiding the draft, about going to Canada, going to jail, being a conscientious objector, going into the National Guard. Those are choices people make.” -- John Kerry Denigrates the National Guard on Feb 3, 2004

Others On John Kerry & Vietnam

"Mr. Kerry is the type of person who lives and survives only on war-weariness and fears of the American people," O'Neill said. "This is the same little man who on nationwide television in April spoke of, quote, `crimes committed on a day-to-day basis, with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command.' Who was quoted in a prominent news magazine
