I'm driving myself crazy trying to keep up with all this stuff, Bush ads, Kerry, Haiti, The Tides Foundation, Rush...

You do more work here than 90% of us combined. I am grateful, and I just want to keep reminding you of that. :)

These slimy dim-o-Rats have shown satan to be their leader.

I thought it bore repeating....loudly.

Appreciate it... Hon just posted a pile of new links here:

which to me, just reeks of corruption, kickbacks, payoffs. Maybe I'm oldfashioned, but even if it obeys the letter of the law, it is unseemly.

Yes...all past history, except that of George W. Bush's National Guard record, college drinking exploits, Kerry's Vietnam heroism, and Bush administration failures, is OFF LIMITS for any discussion, pictures, or commercials.

Give me a break! The folks who bring up their "disgust" with the commercials ALL have political agendas which oppose Bush! Now, who's politicizing 9/11????

"Outraged" victims tied to John Kerry campaign DIRECTLY

I heard Rush play the sound bites of the women all saying the exact same thing. I thought I'd search for those sounds bites tonight when I came across this trail of links from Colleen Kelly and Peaceful Tomorrows back to John Kerry himself.

Here's some quick links if you want to pass this info along without all of my commentary:

The Heinz Endowments have teamed up with a secretive left-wing group [Mrs. Kerry Is A Commie]

The "outraged" faces we've seen on television the past two days are more than they seem. Family members of 9/11 victims have been interviewed ad nauseum on television and in newspapers far and wide--Among those 9/11 family members quoted in newspapers and in television interviews across the nation are people like Rita Lasar and Colleen Kelly. Both Lasar and Kelly are leaders of a group called September 11 Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, which on it's surface sounds innocuous enough.But when the connections are peeled away like the layers of an onion, the true picture emerges. Peaceful Tomorrows is one of several projects sponsored by the Tides Center of Pennsylvania.But who is the Tides Center? Known as the Tides Center for Pennsylvania, formerly the Tides Center for Western Pennsylvania, it is none other than a creation of the Tides Foundation and Center, headquartered in San Francisco, and two Pennsylvania-based foundations -- the Vira Heinz Endowment and the Howard Heinz Endowment-- chaired by Teresa Heinz Kerry, heir to the Heinz food company fortune and wife of Democrat presidential contender Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts.

It just shows that the Dems know they can't survive an election based upon the will to defend this country instead of letting it be destroyed.

Your threads are invaluable as a research tool backhoe. Thank you for all the work you do to bring these things together.

I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.

I see that it will be possible for him to win. The media will relentlessly pound out negative story after negative story about the President. Every lost dog will be his fault. But no negative stories about John Kerry will make the front page or 6 PM newscast. I know a lot of people don't pay attention to the mass media anymore, but enough do to make me worried.

The media have already succeded in redefining a "bad" unemployment number to mean anything higher than 4 %. It will be interesting to watch (though sad and frustrating) as the media pivots 180 degrees should Kerry win and suddenly it'll be happy days again.

Same here- if the media weren't effective in changing minds, private businesses would not spend billions of dollars a year on advertising. It influences people.
