"I don't care who wins" the Democratic primary, said Judy Donovan of Tucson, Ariz. "I'd get my dog to run. I'm not kidding. I would get Mickey Mouse in there. Anybody but Bush.'"

[Chi-townChief]

So THAT'S how we end up with clowns like Clinton in the White House.

[Archangelsk]

No, we get clowns like Clinton in office because of perception.

Glad to hear a principled Democrat speak up.

she needs a cat

[Chi-townChief]

Clark gives us a classic as well:

"This could be over. It could be a long way from over, and it could be impacted tomorrow by something we don't know about."

Almost sounds like our Mayor Daley.

[Dog Gone]

Why would you excerpt an AP story and then place it in Breaking News?

[Revolting cat!]

Hello President Catsup!

[Revolting cat!]

Inadvertently, the Donovan woman expresses the root problem with the world's best political system. Forget that it's Bush for a minute, 43% would vote for the Manson/Brawley (Charles/Tawana) RAT ticket, guaranteed!

Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry (news - web sites) rolled up big victories and a pile of delegates in five states Tuesday night, while rivals John Edwards (news - web sites) and Wesley Clark (news - web sites) kept their candidacies alive with singular triumphs in a dramatic cross-country contest.

Edwards easily won his native South Carolina and Clark, a retired Army general from Arkansas, eked out victory in neighboring Oklahoma. Howard Dean (news - web sites) earned no wins and perhaps no delegates, his candidacy in peril. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites) was shut out, too, and dropped out of the race.

"It's a huge night," Kerry told The Associated Press, even as rivals denied him a coveted sweep.

Racking up victories in Missouri, Arizona, North Dakota, New Mexico and Delaware, Kerry suggested that his rivals were regional candidates.

"I compliment John Edwards, but I think you have to run a national campaign, and I think that's what we've shown tonight," the four-term Massachusetts senator said. "You can't cherry-pick the presidency."

With Iowa and New Hampshire already in his pocket, Kerry boasts a record of 7-2 in primary season contests, the undisputed front-runner who had a chance to put two major rivals away but failed.

An AP analysis showed Kerry winning 65 pledged delegates, Edwards 43, Clark five and Al Sharpton (news - web sites) one, with 155 yet to be allocated. Kerry's wins in Missouri and Arizona were the night's biggest prizes, with 129 delegates — nearly half of the 269 at stake.

Tuesday's results pushed Kerry close to 200 delegates out of 2,162 needed for the nomination, including the superdelegates of lawmakers and party traditionalists. Dean trailed by nearly 70, Edwards by nearly 100.

Democrats award delegates based on a candidates' showing in congressional districts, giving Kerry's rivals a chance to grab a few delegates even in contests they lost.

I wonder what her posting name on FR is. She sounds just like the pseudo conservatives that Jim Rob flushed down and out of the system this past weekend.

"I don't care who wins" the Democratic primary, said Judy Donovan of Tucson, Ariz. "I'd get my dog to run. I'm not kidding. I would get Mickey Mouse in there. Anybody but Bush.'"

[Indie]

I've actually heard people say exactly that line. Almost went to jail a few times. And these are "Americans?"

[MJY1288]

LOL

[MJY1288]

John Kerry said this on FOX NEWS tonight:

"Some went off to Canada, some were conscientious objectors, and some joined the National Guard"

I hope that French looking idiot keeps up with this horse hockey, because we have a hell of a lot of Guardsman in harms way right now, and he is disrespecting the many sacrifices our National Guardsman have made for this country over the years. Damn him to hell

[Grampa Dave]

He is also poing every reservist who was ready to go into harms way or ended up in harms way, since WWII.

The Marine, Army, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard reservists as well as National Guard personnel have served honorably in the war against terrorism. That is more that any rat in Congress has done in the war against terrorism.

[A CA Guy]

Well, Kerry is very beatable. This is not the worst news by a long shot.

[MJY1288]

John Kerry is digging himself a mighty deep hole by making light of the service of our Guardsman and Reservist

[JohnnyZ]

Howard Dean (news - web sites) earned no wins and perhaps no delegates, his candidacy in peril.

He'll get delegates almost certainly for New Mexico & maybe Arizona.

An AP analysis showed Kerry winning 65 pledged delegates, Edwards 43, Clark five and Al Sharpton (news - web sites) one, with 155 yet to be allocated. Kerry's wins in Missouri and Arizona were the night's biggest prizes, with 129 delegates — nearly half of the 269 at stake.

The overall will be something like 144 Kerry, 65 Edwards, 44 Clark, 15 Dean (at most), 1 Sharpton.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

So when do the Clinton's start submarining Kerry? We know Hillary can't let him win so at what point do they start whacking him in the press?

I'd bet not soon. They will wait for him to peak and then start the tearing down.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

It's an epidemic!

[Graymatter]

I see that Clark is claiming victory in OK, without regard for the legal process. The Board of Elections there is apparently not his idea of a controlling legal authority. Another tin-eared Democrat. (Insofar as he's a Democrat at all.)

[CyberAnt]

The sadest part is when you ask them why they want "anybody but Bush", they cannot give you a comprehensive answer.

It's always some smarmy, hate-filled, sanctimonious drivel the dems have been spewing for years.

[Grampa Dave]

You can tell a lot about a man by his enemies.

President Bush is very lucky to have the vile and shrill enemies he has on the left the pseudo ultra right.

[CyberAnt]

I agree with that!!

FR link to Cash and Kerry Newsweek Feb. 9 issue - A generous potential contributor wanted to visit Kerry's Capitol Hill office. The donor was Johnny Chung, a glad-handing Taiwanese-American entrepreneur. Chung brought along some friends, including a Hong Kong businesswoman named Liu Chaoying.

Kerry's encounter with Chung and Liu would turn into a political embarrassment. Federal investigators later discovered that Liu was in fact a lieutenant colonel in China's People's Liberation Army and vice president of a Chinese-government-owned aerospace firm.

A little more google searching on Col Liu Chaying revealed this tidbit:
http://www.afpc.org/crm/crm155.htm
From the NY Times:
Col. Liu works for China Aerospace, a state-owned company that reports directly to the Chinese military, and is tasked by the government to acquire U.S. technology. The Times continues, Beijing's new military strategy, which includes a new generation of nuclear ballistic missiles capable of hitting the U.S., is dependent on sophisticated computers and other advanced electronic weapons technology. In previous jobs, Col. Liu helped market sensitive missile technology to countries like Pakistan. According to official U.S. documents, she also made secret trips to the United States in pursuit of American technology and was frequently monitored by American agents.

John F*ing Commie Kerry and Commie Ted discuss their plan to hand America over to our nation's enemies:

[jrlc]

the Rats better think twice about the bogus charge that the President went "AWOL." Looks like John F*ing Kerry went traitor. Check out the Iwo Jima slam on the cover of his book:

[Moby Grape]

Ross Perot is the reason we ended up with clowns like the Clintons in the White House (Clinton got 41% in 1992)

[Hon]

"Some went off to Canada, some were conscientious objectors, and some joined the National Guard"

And some joined the Navy. Kerry spent his first tour of duty in Vietnam on a frigate miles away from VN. He never once saw the enemy during that time.

He then volunteered (some say was volunteered) to a Swift boat. By Kerry's own admission he thought that was a safe assignment, since at that time they were no used close in.

Too bad for him Zumwalt changed their usage and he actually got into a combat zone during his three and half month second tour of VN.

(BTW, Kerry had a pilot's license. Why didn't he go into the Air Force?)

[Hon]

"Looks like John F*ing Kerry went traitor."

Given his penchant for things French, maybe the better term for him would be "collaborator".

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

(BTW, Kerry had a pilot's license. Why didn't he go into the Air Force?)

Or naval aviation. I never heard any attempt at an answer to this question. The Dems don't care so I don't think we'll ever get an answer to that mystery.

NO NEED to excerpt stories from Yahoo!. If a story needs to be excerpted, it will let you know automatically when you hit "Preview."

she needs a cat

. . . or three.

[PJ-Comix]

GREAT FIND!!!

[Celtic Conservative]

omg, not ....SIAMESE! theyr'e a very cute cat, but a "special sort of evil" if you tick 'em off. I know , I got two of 'em.

The problem with Yahoo is that you can't get a clean printable page to copy.

[AnAmericanMother]

Look out! The middle one (14 pounds of solid muscle) resents being called "cute".

He is also a Viking Kitty . . .

This one, on the other hand, doesn't really mind being called "cute".

"Bow before me, you mere human."

[Salvation]

Clark - 1 ??

[mewzilla]

I don't know why Ketchup Boy is so excited. If my math is correct, most of the people voting yesterday voted for somebody else...

[JohnnyZ]

I see that Clark is claiming victory in OK, without regard for the legal process. The Board of Elections there is apparently not his idea of a controlling legal authority. Another tin-eared Democrat.

Petronski & I had projected him the winner on the Live Thread. I'm sure that was all he needed to have convidence that he'd won.

[Celtic Conservative]

fourteen pounds? gotta be a neutered male. That's big for a siamese, they unsually go 10, 12 pounds tops. good looking cats, thanks for posting.Wish i could post up some of mine, but the scanner is currently down.

Potsie Wins his First Election!

The problem with Yahoo is that you can't get a clean printable page to copy.

So...CLEAN IT UP! How tough is that? I do it all the time. Take a minute to wipe out all those "news-website" references and you are left with the READABLE story.

[AnAmericanMother]

Yep, at least in our bloodlines there's a big difference in size between the boys and the girls.

He did receive "the unkindest cut of all" - you can't leave Siamese tomcats loose in the house because they WILL "spray" - he still pretends to, goes through all the motions but doesn't actually. But they are still big cats even before they are neutered. Back when I was still showing, I entered one of my males who was barely age-qualified for the adult championship class. He was twice the size of anything else in the ring, and the judge hefted him in the "stretch" and glanced down at his card, said, "Ohhh . . . seven months old. We're going to be a BIG boy when we grow up." Cat said "meeeoooooowwwwrrr."

[MeekOneGOP]

Kerry 02-03-2004:
"For the second time this week a New England Patriot Won!"

[bunches]

You are absolutely right. My son is now serving in Iraq with his Coast Guard reserve unit. He is my hero.

Senator Kerry needs to think before he speaks.

[PJ-Comix]

Is that a legit photo of Kerry speaking in front of a Viet Cong flag or was that added in later? If the former then it shows how pathetic Ketchup Boy was/is.

[MeekOneGOP]

hehe ! I was pretty sure it was photoshopped, but had to do a quick Google Search to find out.

It is photoshopped. Here is the link to the Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry website.

They have a link 'About this photograph' there for their story and the original pic ...

____________________________________________________

I'm getting fired up about ole John 'F' Kerry, aren't you !?? haha !

the original pic of that said 'Fire Fighters for Kerry' ...

[OldFriend]

We got clinton because conservatives thought George HW Bush wasn't pure enough for them.

Sounds like we're getting a lot of that now.....

This morning's Rush Limbaugh update was a sneering monologue about the new budget presented by President Bush.

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

Laura Ingraham never misses an opportunity to bash and or ridicule the President on just about any topic.

Sean's a Rush wannabe and goes after the President following any of Rush's shows where he bashes the President.
