LIE, CHEAT, STEAL THE DEMOCRATS WILL DO IT ALL:What is becoming plainly obvious is how badly the leftists in America are adopting the "anything we have to do to win - even if its illegal" approach to tomorrow's voting process. Fred Barnes in this morning's edition of the Weekly Standard  summed it up  best. "We are entitled to do whatever it takes to defeat him (BUSH), to say whatever we want. You see it in the bumper stickers (re-defeat Bush..., in the destruction of Bush yard signs..., in the harrassment at least in the blue states of anyone wearing a Bush...

Kerry is slated over Bin Laden poll By Joe Murphy, Political Editor In Washington, Evening Standard 1 November 2004 John Kerry was hit by an eve-of-election row today when it emerged his team took an opinion poll on the Osama bin Laden terror tape. "It's as though he doesn't know what he believes until he check the polls," claimed vice president Dick Cheney. "I don't think that's a man who is up to the task of being commander in chief. George Bush doesn't need a poll to know what he believes, especially about Osama bin Laden." Mr Kerry's aides initially...

I'm tired of trying to refute liberals' claims against George Bush and the U.S. with discussions based on logic. They don't listen. We need a list of quick and easy one-liners that can get to the core of the issue and silence the liberals, or at least give them something to think about. Here are a few liberalisms (in quotes) with a one-line rebuttal to each. Please add yours to the list. "Bush started this war." No, the terrorists did. "It's like Japan attacked America, and then America attacked Mexico." No, it's like Japan attacked the U.S., and the U.S....

October Surprise? The Truth Behind Kerry's Military Discharge. What's Kerry Hiding?: "I have nothing to hide. I want you to ask me questions." --John Kerry, Reuters, August 3, 2004 The only 180 John Kerry hasn't accomplished in his litany of flip-flops throughout his campaign is Standard Form 180, the paperwork necessary for the complete release of his military records from the Department of Defense repository. The Kerry campaign and website continue to claim he has released all military records. In fact, they've released the few documents painting the senator in a favorable light. There are at least 100 pages, promising...

Kerry: 'Wake Up America' and Choose Fresh Start Fri Oct 29, 2004 01:17 PM ET By Patricia Wilson ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Democratic challenger John Kerry urged Americans on Friday to "wake up" and choose a new start on the economy and Iraq instead of four more years of President Bush's "catastrophic mismanagement." Four days before the United States chooses its next commander in chief, the Massachusetts senator told supporters in Orlando they could not afford to re-elect Bush, "a president who's unwilling to admit the mistakes he's made and says he would do the same thing all over again."...

In a noontime press conference today at the Pentagon, Pentagon spokesman Larry Dirita and Army Maj. Austin Pearson, an ammunition management officer who was at the Iraqi ammunition depot Al Qaqaa in spring, 2003 with the Army 3rd Infantry Division, cast doubt on the New York Times/CBS News report alleging that 377 tons of Iraqi munitions had disappeared from the site, after it had come under American control in April, 2003. Maj. Austin estimated that his unit removed 200-250 tons of munitions, and Mr. Dirita emphasized that reports that 141 tons of RDX explosives were at the facility under IAEA...

WASHINGTON — A U.S. soldier is coming forward Friday to say a team from the 3rd Infantry Division took about 200 tons of explosives from an Iraqi military facility soon after Saddam Hussein's regime fell last year. The soldier will appear before reporters at noon, EDT. The briefing will be shown on the FOX News Channel. The announcement is the latest twist in the mystery over what happened to 377 tons of explosives that the International Atomic Energy Agency said had disappeared. The soldier's story comes as new videotape has surfaced that supports the contention that tons of the explosives...

Kerry Says Saddam 'Might Be Gone' Had He Been President Fri Oct 29 2004 10:02:35 ET NBCNEWS Brokaw interviewed John Kerry Thursday evening. Brokaw: "If you had been President, Saddam Hussein would be in power." Kerry: "Not necessarily." Brokaw: "You said you wouldn't go to war against him." Kerry: "That's not true. Because under the inspection process, Saddam Hussein was required to destroy those kinds of materials and weapons." Brokaw: "But he wasn't destroying them." Kerry: "That's what you have inspectors for. That's why I voted for the threat of force, because he only does things when you have a...

<p>Excerpt from Tony Snow's 9-16-04 interview with John Kerry where Kerry essentially said the US brought the attacks on ourselves with our policies and attitudes. This was the first sunday after 911 and Kerry was blaming US attitudes and polcies for provoking, essentially, the attack.</p>

PHOTOS CONFIRM - LARGE TRUCKS AT AL QAQAA: It is the worst of all possibilities for John Kerry. While he is busy blaming the troops for the missing weapons that were never there on their watch. While he is accusing them of being incompetent when it came to securing weapons of mass destruction. While he spit in their face the way he did to the Prisoners of War after he returned from Vietnam. The Pentagon is now providing addtional evidence that further deconstructs the now debunked New York Times story of the missing weapns. This photo as released late yesterday...

WASHINGTON - Russian special forces may have moved many of Saddam Hussein's weapons and related goods out of Iraq and into Syria in the weeks before the U.S. invasion in 2003, The Washington Times reported today. John A. Shaw, deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, told The Times in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, "almost certainly" removed the 377 tons of heavy ordnance that has been reported missing from a site south of Baghdad. "The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units," Shaw...

ONCE again, John Kerry shows his instinct to go for the capillaries, rather than the jugular. Kerry has embraced the dubious New York Times/CBS accusations about U.S. bungling permitting the theft of explosives from an ammunition dump in Iraq. The senator has chosen to predicate the entire final week of his campaign on the unsolvable mystery of what happened to the bomb-making material in the chaos surrounding the invasion of Iraq. By stepping up to bat and running an ad in which he speaks directly into the camera in an effort to win votes over the issue, Kerry has...

Thursday, October 28, 2004 John Kerry's Dishonorable Discharge Through a very reliable source, I received a copy of the following e-mail to Sean Hannity asking his help in exposing the truth about John Kerry's discharge papers fromteh US Navy. The author is a retired former Navy lawyer and he references the former personal lawyer to then Secretary of the Navy J. William Middleton

A 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS crew in Iraq shortly after the fall of Saddam Hussein was in the area where tons of explosives disappeared. The missing explosives are now an issue in the presidential debate. Democratic candidate John Kerry is accusing President Bush of not securing the site they allegedly disappeared from. President Bush says no one knows if the ammunition was taken before or after the fall of Baghdad on April 9, 2003 when coalition troops moved in to the area. Using GPS technology and talking with members of the 101st Airborne 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS determined our crew embedded with...

I just saw on Fox News that Bush is being blamed for the Hurricanes that hit Florida. The Dem's buddies are running ads and billboards accusing Bush of the hurricanes because he is causing Global Warming. Am I the only one that knows Global Warming actually causes less hurricanes? Does the Dum Liberals know this?

LESS THAN A POUND of the high explosive known as HMX was enough to destroy a Pan Am jumbo jet over Scotland in 1988 in one of the worst terrorist attacks against Americans before Sept. 11, 2001. So it can only be dismaying to learn that nearly 215 tons of the substance -- enough for hundreds of thousands of such bombs -- disappeared from an Iraqi weapons facility sometime after March 2003, when it was last seen by international inspectors. An additional 162 tons of the explosives RDX and PETN also are missing, according to a report to the International...

Iraq Site: Mystery Trucks Eyed Oct. 28, 2004 The Pentagon is studying satellite photographs of the weapons storage facility in Iraq from which a massive amount of high explosives is missing, trying to determine the nature of unusual vehicle activity there before U.S. troops arrived, reports CBS News Correspondent David Martin. The U.N. nuclear watchdog this week alerted the Security Council that up to 377 tons of powerful explosives was missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility. The Iraqi government said the material was lost to looting due to poor security after the U.S. invasion. U.S. commanders acknowledged that when troops visited...

In the final week of the presidential campaign, cheese is becoming one of the key election issues. America's Dairyland, Wisconsin, is one of the "blue" states that President Bush is hoping to pull into the "red" column. Senator Kerry, on the other hand, is tugging back even harder, and he's not fighting fair, hitting Bush below the "farm belt" (as it were) by attacking him in rural Wisconsin with some misleading and bizarre claims. First, Kerry is running a television ad on selected stations in the central and western part of the state, claiming that the Bush administration has...
