Krauthammer: Nowhere Left to Flop
The Washington Post ^ | 9/17/04 | Charles Krauthammer

Posted on 09/17/2004 5:57:00 AM PDT by piperpilot

If the election were held today, John Kerry would lose by between 88 and 120 electoral votes. The reason is simple: The central vulnerability of this president -- the central issue of this campaign -- is the Iraq war. And Kerry has nothing left to say.

I would never conclude that Kerry has nothing left to say. He says plenty.

Yeah, but every time he says something he seems to dig himself into a deeper hole that will be increasingly more difficult to extricate himself.

These dizzying contradictions -- so glaring, so public, so frequent -- have gone beyond undermining anything Kerry can now say on Iraq. They have been transmuted into a character issue. When Kerry went off windsurfing during the Republican convention, Jay Leno noted that even Kerry's hobbies depend on wind direction. Kerry on the war has become an object not only of derision but of irreconcilable suspicion. What kind of man, aspiring to the presidency, does not know his own mind about the most serious issue of our time?

sad but true....:-)

True. It does seem like a broken record, but he keeps blabbering.

It's true. Kerry doesn't have anything left to say. Liberals are such loud-mouthed morons, they say whatever comes into their empty heads without a thought concerning timing or impact.

By now, everyone on the planet has heard their garbage about Iraq, about 9/11, about the economy. There's nothing left, so they are left rehashing the same stupidities from years ago in hopes that something will stick.

And I think ordinary people are just sick to death of their tripe. I hear it every day here in DC where I am so unfortunate to have to work. From the time I get home from work until the time I go to bed at night, Fox News is on in my home so that I can return to some modicum of sanity.

When I was in Viet Nam, blah, blah, blah, bring it on, blah, blah, blah, make it stop, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, it's the Secret Service's fault, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

I'm surprised that the NIH hasn't announced that Kerry is a sure cure for insomnia.
