Wow, more money to 'first responders' and tighter port security for airlines and shipping interests.

I feel safer already. Where do I cast my vote?

He told an overflow crowd

Hummm...he must have been talking in the bathroom.

[mewzilla]

More like Homeland Insecurity.

[jackd]

International Union of Police? Isn't that either Heinrich Himmler's Interpol or Lenin's KGB? And. . . Kerry talking about homeland security is like Al Sharpton talking about his NRA membership, right? And. . . where is this money for first responders coming ???? TAXES, TAXES, and more TAXES!

Closing the barn door after the Horses get out.

promising to pay more money for "first-responders"

Sounds like he'll let us get hit first then coordinate a great clean-up.

[McGavin999]

Oh, I've got it! How about "I'll put a million police officers on the streets"? Has that one been done yet?

[Dolphy]

He told an overflow crowd he is calling for tighter port security for airlines and shipping interests

Yep, just as he promised, ideas nobody has thought of.

Kerry wants another Maginot Line.

Bush wants to eradicate terrorists.

[Steve_Seattle]

A few weeks ago, Kerry said the terrorist threat was "exaggerated." Now he's saying Bush isn't doing enough to fight this exaggerated threat. Another flip-flop.

[telebob]

That's it? That's the plan?

Wow.

[Integrityrocks]

I can't wait to see the long list of financial increases to every program and walk of life that Kerry will promise and then turn around and blast Bush for the deficit. Got my front row seat.

[Plutarch]

Kerry... promis[ed] to pay more money for "first-responders" to terrorism such as police and firefighters.

1. More money for "cities", i.e. to Democratic political machines. Some might trickle to a policeman or two.

2. Great, we will have more police and firefighters to respond to the devastating attacks our enemies will be inflicting on us.

[LI Rep]

Let's see, he'll spend more $$ on first responders to clean up the mess created by the fact that we couldn't find and stop the terrorists because he voted to cut the intelligence budget.

What kind of logic did they teach @ Boston College Law School?

[TommyDale]

His very first move will be to offer total amnesty to all Al Qaida, followed by EST classes, where they all sit around and sing "Kum-By-Yah".

[Dilbert56]

If Kerry becomes President the money on first responders will be wasted. His nuanced, international (i.e. pussyfoot) approach means we'll need more money for hearses, morgues, and cemetaries. Then the government will have to take over "Big Insurance" because the jump in death benefits will bankrupt the commercial enterprises.

[Spruce]

What does this zombie think about Iran and Syria signing a mutual-defense treaty? The Axis of Evil is taking this war serious.
Senator Kerry would be an absolute disaster for not only America, but the whole of western civilization.

[Turbodog]

"Kerry outlined his plans for homeland security, promising to pay more money for "first-responders" to terrorism such as police and firefighters."

They are going to need it too, because if Kerry is elected you better believe this nation will be the target of numerous mega terrorist attacks.

[Libloather]

...promising to pay more money for "first-responders" to terrorism...

Before or after the attack?

[BlueNgold]

Kerry's reference to First Responders is nothing more than typical Dem pandering to Unions .. in the case the Police and FF unions, which in my experience, do not represent the opinions of rank and file members politically.
