No wonder Dean is staying in the race.
Could Clark have dirty dumped everything on Kerry before he left the campaign trail?

I hope Rove does not leak too much early on Kerry.It makes no sense letting Kerry get inoculated on this stuff. Hammer him in another month when it looks like he has the thing wrapped up.

Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, who has endorsed Kerry, said Kerry's statements were appropriate for their time.

Only if you were a communist!

This is gold, pure T gold for us, because he's done and said things since that will verify his position!

A quote from the article, as posted on Drudge:

'I'm an internationalist. I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations'...

He was old enough to know better by this time.I get visions of the "revolution"of the 60s and 70s and do not like to think about the commies at the back pushing the groups.

Some were idealistic useful idiots,some were criminals,some were socialists,some are now in the Senate and the House.One is running for President.

Very ordinary in their time for a Democrat. Don't forget that.

He described himself as "an internationalist," and said he wanted "to almost eliminate CIA activity."

"I'd like to see our troops dispersed through the world only at the directive of the United Nations," Kerry said.

Just what this nation needs: a president who will bend over and grab his ankles for the UN.

I think that any time anyone says, "But that was 34 years ago." We need to forcefully remind them of two things...

1. He basically has been saying the same thing for the last 2 years. (We shouldn't have gone to Iraq without the UN).

2. Worse than anything else, when he said this, the Vietnam was still going on, and we were not only fighting Vietnam, we were fighting Communism, and the Soviet Unions (now Russia)imperialism. Correct me if I am wrong, but the Soviet Union, is/was a permanent member of the UN. Hence they would have VETOED each and every engagement of the time, and the Cold War would have been over, only their side would have won!!!!

His wife, Mrs. Heinz, says that her alive, but skeletal, husband is a "world citizen." She is angry because President Bush does not embrace the global-warming agenda that she embraces.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Keep this information secret until AFTER Kerry has the coronation nomination! You saw what happened when we focused on Dean; we have to let Kerry be nominated before we take him down. (Didn't you read the stuff on the inside of your secret decoder ring? LOL!)
