The "John Flapjack Kerry" camp is in complete disarray. Now look, you diehard dems know it and you can see it playing out right before your eyes.
I know that now you're thinking to yourself thoughts like "I wonder if Dick Gephardt would be in this position?" or "Jo-motion wouldn't have had these kinds of issues..."
AND YOU'RE RIGHT...
But you let the nut-wing lefties wrestle control away from you in the primaries. The reasonable ones among you did not speak up when Farenheit 9/11 called into question the patriotism of even our nation's military service men and women. And even when there were 59 specific points of fact that were proven false in the Michael Moore "film" you just sat there assuming that your guy was taking a lead and that he would make it all good after the election.
ON THAT YOU'RE NOT RIGHT...
John Kerry has proven to be one constant mistake after another. You know it and I know it. I mean for crying out loud he couldn't even get the Ohio State Buckeyes/Michigan Wolverine thing straight and its only the biggest rivalry in all of College sports...
Kerry's decision to take on the Swift Boat Vets publicly suddenly gave them mainstream attention in the media. And people, even IN the media are figuring out that these guys aren't pulling this stuff out of their backsides. Nope, the SBVs are reasonable - even likable people. Some of them are democrats, some of them are republicans, some of them are independents. Some of them would have supported a Gephardt for President without question. Some of them voted for McCain. But one thing is clear - they think Kerry is a danger as commander in chief. And I don't know about you but when an officer's ENTIRE chain of command pegs him a bad apple - to me it counts for something.
NOW THEY'VE GONE AND DONE IT...
Just about the time Kerry started his belly-aching about the Swift Boat Vets (shameless plug here - John O'Neil/my show/on Tuesday), they had to move on to what I believe will be a far MORE damaging ad. Using Kerry's own voice they juxtapose him saying how they had cut off ears, and heads, and electrically shocked people's gentials, with former Prisoners of War who underwent torture to keep from admitting what John Kerry said before the Senate for free.
This is what will KILL John Kerry - from this point forth on the Veterans vote - and for Kerry - to the Vet's - he's dead.
And according to polls out this weekend it looks like his position on Partial Birth abortion (he supports it), Live Birth Abortion (he supports it), Abortion on demand (he supports it), and aggressively promoting the gay agenda and ready to do the bidding of the "same sex marriage" lobby (he supports them all) - the Catholics have had it with him too.
Add to that the fact that Bush is polling 28% of the African American vote in California and 43% of the Latino vote in that same state and this all just has to make you hate life.
And by the way - when John Kerry went from "Bring it on..." to "Stop it their picking on me..." he pretty much lost the whole "ability to lead" thing as well...
AND THAT'S JOHN KERRY AND HE'S "REPORTING FOR DUTY"...
Here's hoping.
Honest, sincere, seekers of the truth look at both sides in order to see what the big uproar is about. Those that do contrast Kerry and his attack dogs and their rabid attempts to smear the Swifties with the detailed, documented and reasonably presented information of the Swifties.
This is a big time loser for Kerry...as well it should be.
In essence, the Kerry campaign is funding the PR for the swifties.
The best thing Kerry could have done was to ignore it and mitigate the damage to what the Swifites could afford themselves.
But Kerry and his ilk love a lie and so they must attack...and thereby bring more and more attention to the issue...and to the truth.
SOOO very good. Like an intelligent sports bar version of Steyn.
The cool morning mist settled over the Cambodian border. The engine hummed, moving the swift boat slowly through the mined river. They weren't supposed to be here. It wasn't supposed to be this way. An illegal war conducted by President Nixon. It didn't make sense. Everything about this mission was wrong.
Lt. Kerry's mission was an impossible one. Find and silence Colonel Kurtz. Why had Colonel Kurtz fled to Cambodia? What madness had driven him to this? And why had they chosen him?
It didn't matter now. Now he had to find Colonel Kurtz. He had to silence this loose cannon. Something had to be done. Was he the man to do it? He didn't know. The personal demons had haunted him for far too long. He wanted to be patriotic. He needed to be patriotic. But a political career lay in wait for him back in the States.
Suddenly, the swift boat left the air from the thrust of the mine. Lt. Kerry didn't hestitate. He didn't second guess. He floored the throttle in retreat, hearing a scream from the stern. He looked back to see Jim Rassman in the water.
Could he leave him? Jim was just along for the ride. A ride taking them deep into the Cambodian jungle in search of a madman. The second passed, but Lt. Kerry knew he could leave no man behind.
The fifty caliber machine gun fire barked loudly from the shoreline. Then, he remembered it. He reached in his duffle bag at his side and pulled out his 8mm camera. He jerked the steering, turning the boat around and yelling, "Let's go boys. We're only gonna have one take at this!"
:) HA!
Here's a link: http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com/books/electivedecisions.shtml
Then the Columbian drug interdiction Senate commttee...another J F'n Kerry resume enhancer
So I see Swiftie ads Nos 3 and 4 in the pipe line.
Consider it brung.
If you go to the website and look further down, you will see the remarkable conclusion that Kerry is only 3 points up in California and that Connecticut is quite close also...from this website to Gods ear.
Say what? What poll is this from?
J.F. Kerry, he's a clown
That J.F. Kerry, he's a clown
He's gonna get caught
Just you wait and see
"Why's everybody always pickin' on me?"
Apparently they have something big planned for late September, early October.
I heard a lady on TV, I believe she was supporting Kerry but I'm positive, say something to the effect that we may never know the whole truth about all the allegations. People will just have to listen to both sides and make up their own minds.
In this situation SKerry loses. After claiming loudly that the Swiftees were frauds and liars,and trying mightily to keep them from being heard, if they can't prove that, then people I think, will more likely believe the Swiftees.
Me thinks the Swifites, many of which are sharp Naval Academy Grads...who know Kerry very well...have played him and his campaign like a fiddle.
Poor little terry m, someone should check, I think his diaper
needs changed.
LOL... Great stuff.
Agreed. I did notice that O'Neill (and presumably other officers in his group) are Annapolis grads. I'm sure when they were going through their Annapolis experience they had no idea which surprises life had in store for them, but it looks like they were prepared for their most important challenge and I'm sure Annapolis had a lot to do with that.
