With a complete lack of irony, Good Morning America’s George Stephanopoulos on Thursday commented on the revelation that John Edwards had fathered a love child. The former top aide to Bill Clinton marveled, "How did he ever think he was going to get through a presidential campaign sitting on all this?" Stephanopoulos, perhaps not thinking of his old boss and the Gennifer Flowers scandal during the 1992 campaign, chided Edwards: "It is just unbelievable." In a second story on the subject, correspondent Bianna Golodryga introduced the story by explaining, "Former presidential candidate John Edwards, now admits that he did father...

Countering Kerry’s Orwellian HistoryFReeper Review of Swett and Ziegler, To Set the Record StraightBy Fedora I recently had the pleasure of reading Scott Swett and Tim Ziegler’s new book To Set the Record Straight: How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry (Foreword by John O’Neill, New American Media Publishing, 2008, 389pp, hardcover $29.95, ToSetTheRecordStraight.com). As someone whose research is given an acknowledgment by the authors, I would like here to share some of my reactions to this important book. The first chapter begins with a review of John Kerry’s role in promoting Vietnam Veterans Against...

A civil servant who leaked a secret memo about George W. Bush wanted it to be seen by US presidential candidate John Kerry, the Old Bailey heard. David Keogh, 50, from Northampton, is said to have passed a highly sensitive document detailing talks between Mr. Bush and Tony Blair to Leo O'Connor. Mr. Keogh told jurors the contents of the memo had preyed on his mind. Mr. Keogh and Mr. O'Connor, 44, also of Northampton, deny three charges under the Official Secrets Act. Mr. Keogh had been asked to copy out the memo for distribution to high-ranking UK officials. The...

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the richest man in the presidential race.Presidential candidates are not required to disclose their net worth, and Romney has not. But analysts who track compensation in Romney’s business field said it was likely to exceed $500 million, according to a report in Saturday's New York Times.Romney built his fortune with the Boston-based Bain Capital, a venture and buyout firm. In 1984, Romney began investing Bain’s $40 million venture fund that eventually grew to billions. Romney’s fund was the first investor in Staples, the office supplies store. The Times also suggests that Romney has...

Ohio — Today, attorneys representing the Kerry-Edwards campaign filed papers in Delaware County, Ohio to intervene in legal proceedings in defense of Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb, Libertarian Michael Badnarik and their legal counsel, the National Voting Rights Institute, who are seeking a recount of all votes cast for president in the Ohio 2004 general election.

Editorial: Anglosphere's leadership is singing in tune IN an analysis of George W. Bush's election victory in the current issue of The Economist, the magazine's acerbic US commentator, "Lexington", warns the Democrats against the self-serving view that the US President won by appealing to base instincts such as fear and hatred. The Republicans "clobbered them on hope". Mr Bush was better than John Kerry at "exuding optimism" and "addressing the aspirations of an aspirational people". This is always the winning strategy in a pro-growth culture such as the US, and shows the Republicans have turned themselves into the "party of...

Thank goodness for pollster Brad Coker and his Mason-Dixon research organization. Their late polls may rescue us from a wrong-headed interpretation of the 2004 election results. Coker offers an alternative to Warren Mitofsky’s flawed exit-poll-driven conclusion that moral values were the driving force behind this election. Yes, the fact that moral values were more frequently mentioned in this year’s exit poll is significant, but it’s not as significant as it’s being touted to be. Although morality was a plurality winner in the exit poll’s “most important issue” sweepstakes, barely one in five voters (22 percent) said values were the top...

"THEY are like mules," a particularly cool bishop remarked the other day of progressives in the Catholic church. "They have no heirs." Might this also be true of the deconstructionist Left in politics, with its conceivably sui generis progenitors traceable only back to the counter-cultural sixties and seventies? There's an argument to be made. The re-election of George Bush, an unequivocally combative conservative, and the return of John Howard for a fourth term, suggests climate change in American and Australian politics rather than seasonal variation. After fighting Bush with dedicated unscrupulousness throughout the presidential campaign, The New York Times tacitly...

Even the stomach of the liberal-left Village Voice has turned at John Kerry's role as chairman of the Senate Select Committee on POW/MIA Affairs in covering up the substantial body of evidence that captured American servicemen were held back by the North Vietnamese to assure U.S. performance on peace agreements. On Sept. 21, 1992, former CIA director and secretary of defense James Schlesinger told the Kerry committee flatly that Americans were left behind in Vietnam. The precise numbers were a matter of record. Sworn affidavits say that Kerry gave orders on or before April 9, 1992, to shred intelligence...

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran would welcome a proposal by U.S. presidential candidate Senator John Kerry's running mate for a "great bargain" to solve the dispute over Tehran's nuclear program, a senior Iranian official said on Saturday. Vice presidential candidate Senator John Edwards has said that Kerry, a Democrat, would be willing to supply Iran with nuclear fuel for power generation if Tehran abandons its own fuel-making capability - if Iran did not accept this offer, it would confirm Iran wanted to make an atom bomb. Iran earlier rejected the proposal, saying it would be "irrational" for Iran to jeopardize what...

There are many similarities between the fictional Manchurian Candidate, Sergeant Raymond Shaw, who returns to America after the Korean War with a Medal of Honor, and John F Kerry. In the original 1962 movie-THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE, starring Frank Sinatra and Laurence Harvey, not the recent politically correct version of the movie, the communists in the Korean War capture an American infantry platoon and subject them to intense brainwashing techniques. One of the patrol members, Sergeant Shaw, played by Harvey, is a carefully programmed sleeper agent, brainwashed to go back to America to kill the future President of the United States....

Perhaps Sen. John Kerry does have an advantage after all over President Bush in understanding the complex political issues of the Middle East. New research by Burke's Peerage reveals that Mr. Kerry is the only presidential candidate in U.S. history who has genealogical descent from Muslims, Jews and Christians. "Senator Kerry ... is a virtual walking United Nations," says Harold Brooks-Baker, publishing director of Burke's. Mr. Kerry is kinsman of the Shi'ite shahs of Persia (the most famous was Shah Abbas I, who reigned from 1587 to 1629), as well as the Muslim kings of Tunisia, all of whom —...

Monday, September 20, 2004 The Kerry campaign: Definition of insanity Posted: September 20, 20041:00 a.m. Eastern By Doug Powers © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com John Kerry is down in the polls, and his campaign is now the political equivalent of a hooved animal on a frozen pond. The news for Kerry keeps getting worse. Why? For the Democrats, the textbook definition of "insanity" comes to mind: Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Months ago, it all seemed so promising for Kerry. He came back from a distant third to win in Iowa, he had the best hair of...

The state troopers' union is seriously considering an endorsement of President Bush, a vote that would be an embarrassment for Sen. John F. Kerry and a risky move for the union, according to government and law enforcement sources. ``It would be embarrassing for the senator that the state police in his own state aren't supporting him,'' said one law enforcement source. Members of the executive board for the State Police Association of Massachusetts met earlier this week but took no action on an endorsement - despite intense speculation the leadership was poised to reach a decision, according to state police...

Several days I ago I realized that all the dates of John Kerry's activities were totally jumbled in my head. I sat down to make a little timeline. It grew into a massive timeline - and covers his entire life. I know several other FReepers had the same confusion. So here is the result. It is still a work in progress, and any additions, corrections, etc. will be most appreciated.The entire timeline along with pictures will be archived at my web site: http://www.archive-news.net/Kerry/JK_timeline.html.

<p>BODY: Vietnam. The Mekong Delta. February 1969.</p> <p>US Navy boats glide through rays of sunlight glinting off cobalt waters. Lush green palms and mangroves sway on river banks, and just under them dozens of Viet Cong snipers are dug in deep. John Forbes Kerry, then a 25-year-old skipper of the six-man crew on Patrol Craft Fast 93, is about to be ambushed.</p>

Not a flame, just a thought. If McCain-Feingold prohibits coordination between independent 527 organizations, like Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth, and candidates and campaigns, then how can John Kerry expect President Bush to ask that the Swift Vets stop running their ads? If President Bush affects a 527 organizations's activity in any way, isn't that "coordination?" Doesn't CFR, as things currently stand, legally prohibit President Bush from doing anything but stand on the sidelines, with regard to the Swift Vets?

In an interview this morning on Fox and Friends, Kerry spokeman Jeh Johnson backed off of Democrat presidential nominee Senator John Kerry's repeated statements that he had spent Christmas 1968 on a secret mission in Cambodia.Fox's Brian Kilmead asked Mr. Johnson whether Sen. Kerry would release the action report from January 20, 1969 regarding purported action in Cambodia.Mr. Johnson said, "I believe you're referring to an incident that happened near Cambodia. Okay, well John Kerry has said on the record that he had a mistaken recollection earlier. He talked about a combat situation on Christmas Eve, 1968, which at one...

The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have hired their own lawyers in response to the Kerry/Edwards campaign's threat of ruinous lawsuits for anyone who allows the independent 527 to purchase ad time at their media outlet. For some reason, the Democrats seem to have a problem with the actual practice of free speech, even after having their party chairman, Terry McAuliffe, call George Bush a deserter and John Kerry question the quality of his National Guard service. When the shoe moves to the other foot, suddenly the Democrats switch from "Bring It On" to "We'll Sue You Into Silence," quite...

When conservative Alan Keyes of Maryland accepts the Illinois Republican U.S. Senate nomination today in Arlington Heights, he'll be joining the ranks of some very liberal company: Hillary Clinton, Robert F.

Three Vietnam veterans who were held captive for years in the prison known as the "Hanoi Hilton" revealed Tuesday that their Communist jailers repeatedly cited John Kerry's 1971 Senate testimony branding them as war criminals to justify threatening them with execution and drive down their morale. "These statements [by Kerry] ... were proof I deserved to be punished," former POW Air Force pilot Jim Warner told United Press International. During every interrogation session, said Warner, his Vietnamese jailers echoed Kerry's charges that he was a war criminal. "The memory of that was still pretty fresh in my mind, and I...

"We resent very deeply the false war crimes charges he made coming back from Vietnam in 1971 and repeated in the book "Tour of Duty." We think those cast an aspersion on all those living and dead, from our unit and other units in Vietnam. We think that he knew he was lying when he made the charges, and we think that they're unsupportable. We intend to bring the truth about that to the American people. We believe, based on our experience with him, that he is totally unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief." -- John O'Neill, spokesman, Swift Boat Veterans...

. John Kerry's service in Vietnam lasted 4 months and 12 days, beginning in November 1968 when he reported to Cam Rahn Bay for a month of training. His abbreviated combat tour ended shortly after he requested a transfer out of Vietnam on March 17, 1969, citing Navy instruction 1300.39 permitting personnel with three Purple Hearts to request reassignment. So far as we are able to determine, Kerry was the only Swift sailor ever to leave Vietnam without completing the standard one-year tour of duty, other than those who were seriously wounded or killed. It is clear that at...

As John F. Kerry tries to bounce out of Boston and into a decisive fall campaign lead, a skeleton from the past will slink out of jail - possibly looking to score headlines and undercut the new nominee. David Paul, a central figure in a 1980s savings and loan scandal, is set to be sprung from a halfway house in Miami Sunday - a decade after his conviction on 97 counts of banking fraud. TV news outlets are scrambling to line up the first interview, hopeful the long-silent Paul might spill some beans about his close fund-raising ties to Kerry...

Senator Kerry's national security adviser had to take back comments he made under oath in 2002 to a federal court that members of a Colombian paramilitary group received training from Al Qaeda in Afghanistant The disclosure of Rand Beers's amended deposition in Arias v.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Many Indiana obstetricians say medical malpractice insurance costs are becoming too high to stay in business, even though Indiana has among the lowest rates in the nation. Dr. Lynda Smirz stopped delivering babies this month because she could not afford the increase in medical malpractice insurance costs. A state fund created to keep malpractice rates low was almost depleted before the state Department of Insurance ordered a 73 percent increase for all physicians. Jim McIntire, an attorney for the state medical association, says some doctors were on such tight budgets that the increase pushed them over the edge.

BOSTON - When a young John Kerry launched his first election campaign in 1972, he tapped his 21-year-old brother, Cameron, to serve as his political director. More than three decades later, the soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee — now surrounded by a cadre of high-paid, high-powered political professionals — still relies heavily upon his little brother as a top adviser, fund-raiser, sounding board and confidant. Over the past two years, the Massachusetts senator has consulted with Cameron before making the most monumental decisions of his presidential quest: how to vote on the Iraq war resolution, whether to fire the manager of...

KERRY UNFIT FOR COMMAND IN VIETNAM = PROVEN Analysis of John Kerry's Fitness Reports . Context John Kerry's campaign representatives quote a few words from one of his best Navy fitness reports to support their misleading claim that Kerry's military evaluations were those of a top-flight officer. They carefully ignore the existence of several other reports that range from mediocre to substandard, thereby presenting an inaccurate picture of Kerry's service record. There are also gaps in the documentations made public to date by the Kerry campaign, where no fitness reports are provided at all. Here we present an analysis of...

WASHINGTON, July 19 (JTA) — Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) has learned in the last year to walk the walk on Israel and Jewish issues. The nagging worry for Israel’s government is that he might break into a run. Political insiders see the single substantive difference between the Middle East policies of President Bush and the presumptive Democratic nominee is not in their content, but in their pace. On his official Web site, Kerry says peace will “only be viable if U.S. engagement in this process is active, constant, and at the highest levels.” That’s a clear shot at Bush: Except...

Ready to Rumble: More than 20 Jewish Democratic lawmakers are volunteering to debate President Bush's Jewish Republican partisans on any aspect of John Kerry's record. "The Bush-Cheney campaign thought they could get away with mischaracterizing Kerry's record. Let's do Israel. Let's do domestic policy. Bring it on," said the executive director of the National Jewish Democratic Council, Ira Forman, who extended the invitation to debate in a letter to Bush's campaign manager, Ken Mehlman, and the Republican Jewish Coalition. "I can't tell you how easy it was to get them," Forman said of the Democratic lawmakers who volunteered. "We're not...

I grew up in a family of 11 children in the days before SUVs. So we took our road trips in two-car caravans led by a steamy station wagon with crank-handle windows and hot vinyl upholstery. That wagon was always packed with obstreperous kids singing obnoxious songs. But one song we were emphatically discouraged from singing has now emerged as a theme song for John Kerry's presidential campaign. My father loved popular music and never ceased being interested in it. In the 1960s, he happily escorted my older sisters to see the Beatles. A decade later, he bought me tickets...

DERRY (AP) - John Kerry’s family tree includes the Irish immigrant believed to have introduced the potato to America, according to research by a local historian. Numerous publications have stated over the years that Kerry is Irish-American, considered a political advantage in Massachusetts, the nation’s most Irish state. But Kerry says he never indicated he was Irish and corrected the misstatements whenever possible. The senator’s family took its name from a county in Ireland, but it was an adopted name. His grandfather, Frederick Kerry, a Czech Jew, changed his name from Fritz Kohn when he came to America. But Derry...

South Florida's Jewish retirees may not live to see the day the country elects its first Jewish president, but they could settle for the next best thing: a president with a Jewish brother. Presidential candidate John Kerry's younger brother, Cameron Kerry, brought that message to town Monday when he campaigned as a Jewish convert in Palm Beach County Democratic Jewish strongholds west of Boca Raton and in Boynton Beach. It was the first time that many of the politically active retirees in Century Village and Westchester Country Club had heard about Cameron Kerry's unorthodox credentials. Reared Catholic like his older...

Presidential candidate John Kerry clenched his fist and thrust it into the air at yesterday's NAACP convention in Philadelphia - in what appeared to be a "Black Power" salute reminiscent of some of the race-based separatist movements of the 1960s. The Kerry campaign refused to confirm that their candidate "intended" to offer the controversial gesture, the New York Post said. But photographs of the moment left little room for any other interpretation. Kerry's "Black Power" salute was delivered from the podium while standing side-by-side with NAACP president Kweisi Mfume. The top Democrat engaged in the divisive symbolism despite telling...

CNSNews.com) - Some of John Kerry's former swift boat crewmates will have a high-profile role at the Democratic National Convention later this month, as they attempt to portray Kerry as a decorated Vietnam War hero. But an even larger number of veterans say that's not the case. As news spread Tuesday of the convention's framework, members of a group called Swift Boat Veterans for Truth dismissed the Democrats' plans. On the last night of the convention, an undisclosed number of Vietnam veterans plan to endorse Kerry. "Preceding John Kerry and playing an important role will be his swift boat crewmates,...

John Edwards would have liked to be US President in 2004. But he’s an extraordinarily talented plaintiffs’ trial lawyer. If he can’t win, he’ll settle. Being John Kerry’s vice president would be enough. For now. Why should Muslims care? Because Edwards voted for the Patriot Act, voted for giving President Bush authority to use military force in Iraq, and is obsessed with militarily defending Israel through war in the Middle East. Plaintiffs’ lawyers defend underdogs to the death, and Edwards sees Israel, a nuclear-armed munitions factory, as the underdog. And Edwards will fight to the death for Israel. And like...

On June 30, John Kerry went to Phoenix and spoke before the national conference of the race identity group La Raza. By now most Americans know that “La Raza” is Spanish for “The Race,” and also that the media accept that groups such as La Raza are conspicuously race conscious while being intolerant of others for being so. This may be why Kerry, a presidential candidate of a mainstream political party, didn’t see much of a downside in speaking before such an organization. In Kerry’s appearance, Americans can see just how far behind its politicians have left the truth. They...

Bush's new hard-line policy restricting travelers to a single visit every three years “punishes and isolates the Cuban people and harms the Cuban Americans with relatives on the island while leaving Castro unharmed,” Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., has told the Miami Herald. According to the report, Kerry would encourage "principled travel" to the island and lift the cap on gifts to its people. Although embracing the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba and support for dissidents, Kerry was critical of Bush's restriction of travel and cash gifts to Cubans on the island as a “cynical and misguided ploy for a few...
