Will it have specifics we missed in his speech? Not that I'm dying to find out, mind you.

AHA! So this is why he hasn't told anyone what his plans are. Trying to make a quick buck on the side.

That was before he said he would release the plans in the book.

Of course the plans will be non-specific so he won't have to flip-flop later. He'll make sure it fits no matter the change in the political winds.

kerry on FNS with Chris Wallace:


"I will not release the specifics of my plan (for anything) until after the election".


Look for generalities one could drive a Semi Truck through!

John Edwards is so concerned about a family that can't afford a $10 coat for their little girl, yet they are selling their book for $19.95?

Uh huh. Why don't they give it away for free? More evidence they're a different class when it comes to two Americas: the rich can buy it for a campaign contribution and the riffraff can line up to read the only copy in their local public library.

Is he wearing his little bunny foo foo costume on the cover?

How about a picture of that lame throw at the Boston Red Sox/Yankees game?

Is Teerraaayyzza's cookie recipe in the book?

I'm not absolutely certain, but I believe the Title comes right out of the Federalist Papers (Alexander Hamilton alias Publius). It might be worth reading the book just to see if it is pure plagerism. Maybe Bubba ghosted the book??

John (the lurch) Scary Kerry's new book, "Appeasement 101." Ghost written by, Neveille Chamberlain. Democratic mindset, " All that we are saying, is give peace a chance. " The reason Scary Kerry missed all those Senate votes, he was out seeking that kinder and more gentle society. Bush/Cheney 2004

This is really strange. Whoever heard of a presidential candidate coming out with a Book before an election? It is as odd as his constant touting of his military record.

Maybe he should subtitle it Profiles in Worries or alternately, Profiles in Fromage. The neurotic emulation of Kennedy by Kerry continues to shock and amaze.

I'll bet it's such a general book and plagarized as well, that it's nothing more than a high school term paper on the papers of Alexander Hamilton.

Didn't Dave Barry sum up the Kerry plan as becoming strong through the strength of our strongness, or some such thing? LOL

What I find amazing is that KERRY and the Gimmies spend so much time and effort worrying about and trying to appease our "FRIENDS" but spend NO TIME or EFFORT trying to WORK with or SUPPORT their own country and President.

The Bush administration was going to produce a similar policy handbook, but the Constitution is already widely available.

I am reading "Reckless Disregard" by Lt. Col. "Buzz" Patterson and suggest all here read it - or better yet lend a copy to a fence-sitter. A scathing deconstruction of Kerry.

Patterson mentions one of Kerry's other books titled "The New Soldier" (1971). The cover has a photo of some ragtag "vets" do a mock raising of the U.S. flag while alongside the Marines' Iwo Jima memorial. Their flag is upside down. Patterson challenges anyone to find a copy of this book now. I took him up on it and used AddAll's out-of-print search.

The results are astonishing. There were 11 copies available, get this, ranging in price from $399.95 to $2,502.95!!!

Mebbe your library has one. Clark County's (NV) huge inventory didn't have it.

Too bad the Pubbies don't fork out for the book and use some of Kerry's treasonable quotes/actions in their campaign ads.

LOL! President Bush blew that oaf's studied bookishness on national security out of the water today with his announcement in the Rose Garden on real world steps to keep us safe. It left John F*ckin' with nothing substantiative to say. I love it!

What a silly group. They think he's going to get any voters to read his book?

The radical democrats won't read it, they don't need to. The hardcore republican's won't read it, they don't want to. The only possible audience is the "mushy middle". Let's face facts, the "mushy middle" is still mushy, and still in the middle, because they just don't care. People like that don't read books, they watch "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and "Outback Jack" on the television.

For all their efforts, they may get two or three dozen to read the book and three or four to actually vote in November because of what they read in the book.

A really lousy return on investment in my opinion.
