I always knew the libs needed therapy. The DEMS are nothing more than a roiling hive of seething rage.
"Kerry grows on you"
It's official....John F'n Kerry is SLIME MOLD!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone get me some Lysol and I will fix it!!!!!
I get very tired of this crap being repeated. Cleland ran as a conservate Zell Miller type Democrat in 1996 and was elected with a 49% plurality because there was a Libertarian in the race to siphon off enough Republican votes. He became a predictable liberal vote on most issues, something his opponent had the gall to point out in 2002, when the voters sent him packing decisively.
You see, to a Democrat, a war injury is supposed to entitle them to a free ride in elective office for life. Anything else is smear tactics.
I feel bad about Cleland's war injury and all but the guy's still a total jackass.
Its not my fault! That guy MADE me reach for that grenade! It all makes sense now! I AM NOT RESPONSILE!
Something happened as he ascended to higher office, and he became a mouthpiece for the left wing- but he was not always like that. I feel embarassed for him.
"...and the gloves are well and truly off"
Well, one glove anyway...
As I have said before, I would like to see a crash up derby match between him and Larry Flynt, just prove they are not the same person.
Maybe they could have a grenade tossing match. You know, like its an egg.
The rest of the story: "He had just jumped off a helicopter, on his way to do a little drinking (not running into battle as the article implies), when he saw a grenade on the ground. Believing it had fallen off his belt, he bent over to pick it up – and it exploded."
"To the outrage of Democrats and some Republicans, and in an early example of the tactics that are currently being used to discredit Kerry (funny, no mention of Dems using the tactics, and the fact that they are usually the innovators of the techniques), his rival ran a ferocious television advert that questioned his patriotism (actually, it questioned his poor judgement) for having voted in the Senate against new Homeland Security legislation. He had indeed voted against it, but only because of a particular clause inserted by Republicans (and there had never been a bill with a debatable clause in it before. Pardon my sarcasm. Ever look at the highway bills?). To ram the point home, an image in the advert showed Osama bin Laden staring off screen and Saddam Hussein shaking hands with one of his generals."
Hey, we were at war, time was of he essence, and political posturing was ill timed and ill advised. Play politics when lives are not at stake.
Laughing at liberals is very therapeutic
So does melanoma, the trick is to excise it before it metastisizes.

From the 2/7/04 NYTimes (re: Kerry vs. Weld, 1996): (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/07/politics/campaign/07KERR.html?pagewanted=2&ei=5070&en=524fef06665dae45&hp&ex=1092369600 Mr. Kerry planted himself in Massachusetts and pushed aside his longtime media adviser — much as last year he fired his campaign manager. He brought in Bob Shrum, a Democratic consultant known for sharp ads and who is now playing a major role in Kerry's presidential campaign.
Mr. Kerry began hammering the theme that would let him leap over the charm gap: that a vote for Weld was a vote for a Republican Senate and for Newt Gingrich's Republican revolution.
Kerry ads reminded voters that Mr. Weld had once deemed Mr. Gingrich — "Newtie," the governor had called him — his "ideological soulmate." They blended photos of Mr. Weld with those of Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmond. At a debate, Mr. Kerry held up a Dole for President button in front of Mr. Weld.
Mr. Weld insisted there were "only two names on the ballot: Weld and Kerry." On its face, it seemed ridiculous to lump a Grateful Dead-loving, gay rights-supporting governor with Southern conservatives.
But even Weld advisers say it worked. "We thought, `Everyone knows Bill Weld, no one will believe this guy is Newt Gingrich, this is dumb strategy,' " said Raymond P. Howell, a senior Weld adviser. "It was brilliant strategy."
In the final debate, the week before Election Day, Mr. Kerry challenged Mr. Weld to declare whether he would support Mr. Helms's continued tenure as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "That was a tough question," Mr. Weld said recently. "I ducked."
What does Cleland have to say about this? How is it different from what Cleland claims was done to him?
Cleland lost in Georgia because he insisted on voting 100% down the Democratic line, including supporting Clinton at every step. There was no vicious smear campaign.
He's a whiner.
