Charlotte, NC/Arlington, VA—Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory today called on the Kerry-Edwards campaign to release the unedited tape of a controversial fundraiser Thursday in New York.
"Last week, Senator Kerry told Mid-western voters that he shared their 'conservative values.' This week, when celebrities called the President a 'thug' and made sexual innuendos with the President's name, Kerry said they represented 'the heart and soul of our country.' This is just the latest example of Kerry telling different things to different crowds. The Kerry campaign should release the tape from his fundraiser to allow North Carolina voters to decide for themselves if the Kerry campaign represents their values,” said Mayor McCrory.
"While John Kerry had time to join this hate-fest fundraiser in New York City, earlier that day, he claimed that he hadn't 'had time' to be briefed on recent security threats,” continued McCrory. “John Kerry has been ranked the senate's most liberal member and in choosing Senator Edwards, he chose the senate's fourth most liberal member. The voters of North Carolina wouldn't have sent John Edwards back to the senate, and they're not going to send John Kerry to the White House. It's clear that Kerry and Edwards's priorities and values are outside the mainstream of both North Carolina and America."
On a Bush-Cheney ’04 conference call on Friday, U.S. Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) discussed the Kerry fundraiser and said, “…John Kerry held a fundraiser in New York that featured performers in a time of war calling the President of the United States 'a cheap thug' and 'a liar.' John Kerry just sat there, grinning like a mule eating briars.
"Far from condemning this display of hatred, he said their remarks represented the 'heart and soul' of our country. These are not the values of Southern voters. These are not the values of rural voters, and this is just another example of how far out of the mainstream Senator Kerry really is,” stated Miller.
How come I dont believe Edwards can deliver the Southern Vote for Kerry?.
I am not sure but Edwards shouldnt think of moving to another state when his Senate term is up, Maybe Massachusetts.

And now Kerry has cancelled a church date with his boy toy to go back to D.C. for a national security briefing.
Pray for W and Our Troops
The Kerry campaign should release the tape from his fundraiser to allow all voters to know what Kerry considers to be "the heart and soul" of America. (I think we already know.)
Kerry's pattern of making poor choices has never been more evident than with his choice of John Edwards. The John-Johns haven't gotten the anticipated bounce in the polls and Kerry should be in major panic mode.
We should begin to see meltdown shortly after the DNC convention. Howard Dean won't be the only Dem making primal screams. The John-Johns will soon follow.
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." - Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"We 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." - Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI), Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry ( D - MA), and others Oct. 9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." - Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." - Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. BobGraham (D, FL,) and others, December 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." - Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." - Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do." - Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapon stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
"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

This, by the way, was NOT the security briefing he skipped on what is happening now. No, the security briefing he is getting, if I am not mistaken, is the briefing on Senate Intelligence committee on what happened prior to 9/11.
But a briefing from Rockefeller no doubt! UGH, ACK
It is also a sign, that Emptysuit/Lawsuit have no issues, only their lies, innuendoes, hate, and anger to campaign on.
Kerry showing us how he feels about the Issues.
Not to worry, folks. This is merely a deceptive attempt by the present occupant of the WH to garner sympathy and cheap votes. It won't work. Bush is to blame for that nasty fundraiser. Badabing, badaboom.
If Kerry were smart, he'd ban all photographs, period.
