John Kerry Opposes Iran Nuke Strike, Backs Censure 2008 presidential hopeful John Kerry said Sunday that he opposes a U.S. strike against Iran's nuclear facilities that would involve nuclear bunker-busting bombs - and announced his support for Sen. Russ Feingold proposal to censure President Bush. Asked about reports that U.S. contingency plans include using "tactical nuclear devices" in a possible Iran attack, Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press": "I think that is another example of the move from the hip, shoot from the hip, cowboy diplomacy of this administration . . . For us to think about exploding tactical nuclear...

Two days ago it was Tom Daschle's birthday; today is the birthday of John Kerry who was born on December 11, 1943. Birthday wishes, comments, and gloating are welcome.

Midnight in South Vietnam, and the river is black. Past the rice paddies and shacks, small fires are burning by the shoreline as Lt. John H. Davis' 50-foot aluminum swift boat — PCF 19 — makes its routine patrol through the reeds.

John Kerry said Sunday that he's "outraged" that anyone would think the re-emergence of Osama bin Laden on a terror video released Friday may hurt his chances in next Tuesday's election. "I'm outraged that he has appeared," Kerry told ABC News anchor Peter Jennings. "I'm outraged that he inserts himself in any kind of way into the electoral process of America." Asked about comments from both his campaign and team Bush suggesting that the bin Laden tape gives the president a big boost in the closing days of the campaign, Kerry told Jennings, "I think it's unfortunate that anybody puts...

WILKES-BARRE - Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani called Sen. John Kerry's criticism of the Bush administration regarding 380 tons of missing explosives in Iraq "shameful." Speaking before about a crowd of about 150 packed into the Republican campaign headquarters Thursday afternoon, Giuliani said that by attacking President Bush, Kerry is impugning the performance of American troops. "What's he's saying by inference is that our troops didn't do their jobs. He's blaming it on the president, but the people that were there, the people on the ground, were our military. "He's talking about at most 380 tons of explosives...

http://chronwatch.com/content/contentDisplay.asp?aid=10716 The President Who Committed Treason Written by Raymond Kraft Friday, October 29, 2004 Next week the American people may do something they have never done before: they may elected as President of the United States of America a man who has committed treason against the United States of America. The Constitution of the United States of America defines treason as follows: "Section 3. 1. Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony...

This is a brief response and note to Kathryn's bringing to our attention Jay Costs points (below). I also think that Bush is doing much better in Ohio than the MSM gives him credit for; the MSM are spinning. And this explains why Bush was able to stay away from the state for ten days; he has a chance to take Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota, and still hold Ohio. Rove isn't an idiot and they haven't given up on Ohio. Jay mentions many good reasons for thinking this and he is essentially correct. I want to emphasize a few things,...

Replace Social Security payroll tax with national sales tax By Laurence J. Kotlikoff Wed, Oct. 20, 2004 With Iraq on the front burner, domestic policy is getting short shrift in the presidential campaign. Two issues – the tax system and Social Security – deserve much more attention. Notwithstanding recent tax cuts, our tax system places a huge burden on middle-class Americans, reducing not just their take-home pay but also their incentives to work and save. And Social Security is a walking time bomb with no obvious means, apart from highly regressive payroll tax hikes, of covering two-fifths of its future benefit commitments....

Daily Recycler has the clip of tonight's Scarborough Country. You have to see it to believe it. A little over three minutes.

Per Zogby: “It's still neck and neck, folks, and targeting is intense. With Bush and Kerry now tied among seniors, small wonder that Kerry is pushing hard on social security. Recall that in 2000 when Gore faced the same dilemma, he closed out the race winning seniors pressing the social security button. Bush’s lead among armed forces’ families is strong—maybe Sinclair hears the call to reinforce. Similarly, Kerry’s growing young voter appeal can only be helped by the ‘draft.’ Two new items to note: Among newly registered voters Kerry leads 52% to 38%; among those who have already voted, Bush...

Brit leads off today with the Mary Cheney controversy. He'll also be highlighting the DRUDGE info about the DNC putting out a 66 page manual on how to lie about the voting discrepancies, even if there are none... Tune in and let's ROLL!

<p>MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa., Oct. 13 -- Lynne V. Cheney, wife of Vice President Cheney, accused John F. Kerry Wednesday night of "a cheap and tawdry political trick" and said he "is not a good man" after he brought up their daughter's homosexuality at the final presidential debate.</p>

You just wanted to hug the man (even if you don't normally hug men)

45 minutes to go. If there is already a live debate thread go ahead and delete this. I understand posting a live thread has become a somewhat of a political ordeal here, when it shouldn't be. So to take the pressure off, I'm posting this anyway. Do I dare? LOL!

KYTV (Springfield, Missouri NBC affiliate) Announced tonight that the Bush campaign has pulled its advertising money in Missouri. KYTV noted that Kerry pulled its funds long ago and that "Bush has a comfortable margin" in Missouri

Brit just showed a very long clip of Stolen Valor. Next they showed a hateful rebuttal by some Kerry puppet. Then, get this, by coincidence I bet, they ran the Stolen Valor ad.

Kerry claims he received a 'long' voice mail from Reeve the same day he went into cardiac arrest, fell into a coma and subsequently died the next day. I find this incredible!! Who among us believes Kerry was possibly Reeves last phone call of his life? I think Kerry has some splainin' to do. "Kerry, who knew the "Superman" actor for about 15 years through family and dedication to the same causes, said Reeve left him a long voice mail on Saturday thanking him for campaigning on the possibilities of a cure for conditions like his." http://www.dailynews.com/Stories/0,1413,200~20954~2461635,00.html "The star of...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush (news - web sites) bounced back into a tie with Democratic challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) one day before their final debate, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Tuesday. Bush gained three points on the Massachusetts senator to move into a 45-45 percent dead heat in the latest three-day tracking poll of the White House campaign.(SNIP)

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- When pro-Kerry commentators solemnly pronounce Debate Round 2 to have been "a draw" -- you know George Bush won that round.The president won because he went in with a theme spoken by the heavyweight champion Joe Louis, just before his 1946 victory over the lighter, faster Billy Conn: "He can run, but he can't hide." (The Brown Bomber caught up with Conn in the eighth round of that first TV spectacular.)Bush's debate plan was to keep boring in on the Kerry record: flip-flopping this year on the war, but all too consistently liberal for 20 years on...

WASHINGTON – The Democratic Party and 18 senators are objecting to a broadcasting company's plan to air on 62 TV stations a critical documentary about John Kerry's anti-war activities after he returned home from Vietnam three decades ago. Sinclair Broadcast Group has asked its television stations, many of them in competitive states in the presidential election, to pre-empt regular programming to run the documentary as part of an hourlong program two weeks before the Nov. 2 election. Based near Baltimore, the company owns or manages affiliates of major broadcast networks in several states, including Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. Mark Hyman,...

(CNSNews.com) - A Middle East scholar and recognized expert on Islamic militants and terrorism agreed that leaked Iraqi intelligence documents recently published by CNSNews.com demonstrate that Saddam Hussein collaborated with and supported Islamic terrorist groups, including Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, World Magazine reports. "This is a watershed. This is big," said Walid Phares, who reviewed the documents at World Magazine's request on Oct. 6

I always get a chuckle after reading the hateful comments you "compassionate" god loving people make. Point 1- The only people you tend to love and support are people that look like you and that are Christian. Well, the world and the US is made up of many different cultures and people and I would imagine Jesus, who I do believe was a great person/prophet, would have treated all people with dignity. Point 2- I find it so interesting that the majority of people that are most concerned about terrorism in the US are the people from areas that the...

Wow... Ron P. Reagan finally admitted that Bush won the debate! At the very end of the show, he finally agreed with Pat Buchanan - Kerry won Round 1, Bush won Round 2, and Round 3 will most likely be a draw, and the debates will ultimately have no impact on the election....

I ask each of you just to look into your hearts, look into your guts. Gut-check time.

Moderator Gibson decides that this is to be the final question of the second Presidential Debate: "Q. President Bush, during the last four years, you have made thousands of decisions that have affected millions of lives. Please give three instances in which you came to realize you had made a wrong decision and what you did to correct it." In a debate with no high points, the final question was one last chance to stump the President. Gibson chooses a question which is designed to put Bush on the defensive, hopefully having to answer for mistakes, and allowing Kerry the...

October 8th Bush/Kerry Debate

Anyone watching this jerk? This man has committed TREASON during Vietnam and continues to commit TREASON today.

The latent fascism of the American Left gets less latent all the time Regarding the recently published 'hitlist' of Republican Party convention delegates, a little digging reveals the source. A website using the name rncdelegates.com, which loads its pages from another server, in New York City:Click on any state and you will get the name, address, phone numbers, etc. of the state's Republican deligates. And why is this information posted?Our objectives are to: Supply anti-RNC groups with data on the delegates to use in whatever way they see fit.Supply a body of information that can be easily added to.Encourage the...

Half the audience who showed up last week to see John Edwards' first South Carolina appearance since he won his home state's primary in February walked out before he arrived - two hours late. And in another sign of trouble in paradise, the state's Democratic Senate candidate - whose campaign the Edwards visit was supposed to boost - declined to be seen on the same stage with him. Democrat U.S. Senate hopeful Inez Tenenbaum "has gone to great lengths to distance herself from the national party," reports the South Carolina newspaper, The State. Edwards "is about as close as she’s...

Brit Hume just covered Kerry's quote in Outdoor Life magazine about owning a communist rifle to remind him of his M-16 that saved his life in Vietnam. Brit says that it turns out that the magazine never interviewed Kerry. Instead, they sent out a questionnaire. The Kerry campaign now says that Kerry did not answer the questions, but a campaign staffer answered for him. The staffer is to blame.

SPRING GREEN, United States (AFP) - Democratic presidential challenger John Kerry (news - web sites) appealed for an end to the TV advertising war that has marked his election battle against President George W. Bush (news - web sites). Kerry said the avalanche of negative television spots and attacks being shown on US screens was scaring off voters. ***More like kicking his Butt. "Americans need a real conversation over our future," Kerry said in a speech at a school in Spring Green, Wisconsin. "What they don't need is all these trumped up advertisements, they just make people curl up and...

Newt Gingrich mentioned the THREE trips to Paris tonight and the Spectator is reporting that a news organization is about to run with it BIG. Stick a fork in him. HE"S DONE.
