WASHINGTON -- The terrorist attack foiled by British authorities prompted a battle of words yesterday between a pair of presidential contenders from Massachusetts, with Governor Mitt Romney lashing out at Senator John F. "I'm a war HEro" Kerry for suggesting that the war in Iraq has harmed the nation's security and I have "A PLAN" for saving America, it's a great plan, the best plan thought up in the last 75 years and you should listen to me cause I'm a war HEro.
Ok so I took a few liberties with the article.....sue me.

Gee, could here be some bias in the way this is written? I can't imagine Gov. Romney "lashing out" at anybody. He's one of the most calm, friendly, discplined political leaders I've ever seen and he speaks in very reasonable, measured words. What a joke the liberal MSM has become as they desperately try to attack an outstanding Republican governor through their obviously biased choice of words.

Kerry just can't see the big picture. Saddam was oh so very close to having the sanctions lifted and getting rid of the UN FOREVER....almost as if he knew 9-11 was coming.
Usama could have had safe-haven in Iraq. Don't kid yourself. Where did they find Yosef?
Usama doesn't want to run a nation like Saddam.....He wants his followers as borderless nomads, at his side and under his bidding....just like Mohammed.

``Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda have succeeded in isolating the United States," Kerry, a Democrat, said during a conference call organized on behalf of Patrick Murphy, a Democratic candidate in a Pennsylvania House race.

Romney is a great governor. the MSM pushs strange ideas about him, about his Mormom voodoo politics and "he might be too moderate for Republicans"...
the guy is just about right. not perfect, but pretty damn good.

that's just too too ugly.
Already looked it up, Romney against amnesty! moves him to the front of my 08 list. Besides, he is easy to look at.

"Strange mormon" stories won't work against Romney, because after people listen to Romney for ten minutes they will conclude that he's exceedling bright, logical, rational, reasonable, likeable, and friendly. So these stories are just going to backfire on the MSM and make them look stupid if they try to connect these stories to Romney.

Funniest exchange I have heard in awhile. Read the whole article. I especially like this line from Romney attacking Kerry.
``I think it shows a complete lack of understanding of the kind of enemy that we're facing," said Romney, a Republican. ``This is not a small group of wackos in the hills that all we have to do is go find one person and it suddenly goes away."

What are Kerry's credentials on war and terrorism? I was a Ltjg Pilot in Vietnam and I was not involved in strategy sessions nor did the President call and ask me for advice. This clowns four months ducking and running over there certainly does not give him any more insight into warfighting that anyone else. And if he claims his years in the Senate made him smart on the issue then I would have to check his attendance record and I bet he wasn't involved in the nuts and bolts discussions that would educate a person. This joker and his lightweight staff should admit that they lost and they would lose again. Just enjoy sucking your perks from the taxpayer and STFU.
To: tioga
A veilled jab at Janet Reno. I this really the dem strategy? Unfocused, nonsequiturs? What are these men smoking.
Mr. what about our allies, Kerry now says, "``Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda have succeeded in isolating the United States." Oh really! That's why we see the G8 leaders eenjoying themselves at work and socially with back rubs and pig roasts. That's why we have two unanimous resoluitions in the UN security council this month on Iran and Lebanon. The guy who is isolated is Kerry, as he should be, except what he has does not appear to be contagous.

sKerry IS isolated, not Amererica, because he lost the dang election. And he lost because America recognized that he was not a strong post 9/11 leader, but a dorky nutcase.
**Can you imagine a romance between skerry and reno.....oh, gads, the mental picture that conjures up.** Gag.
