More than a month after Americans voted to re-elect President Bush, delegates to the Electoral College across the country were making it official Monday by casting ballots based on how their states voted. California's 55 electors played it straight during proceedings held in the state Assembly chambers, unanimously choosing Democrat John Kerry and his running mate, John Edwards, despite the futility of the exercise. But earlier in the day, some of those same electors were mixing it up outside the state Capitol in a protest that attracted hundreds of marchers and sign wavers - some saying the Electoral College should...

Senator Kerry, as your tour over "Flyover Country" is now spinning out of control, it must be really hard on your stomachs. You and the missus are used to the finest cuisine and now have to look like you are eating like the locals. All the little people are so impressed! I know you must have been embarassed by the revelation that you ate on the bus at stop and threw the local food in the garbage. We all saw that you really didn't eat at Wendy's. I mean, everyone thought you were eating at Wendy's, but then you had...

John Kerry calls the New York Times with complaints, but no plans. YESTERDAY, John Kerry called the New York Times to blast the Bush administration's North Korea policy. As David Sanger wrote in today's front-page Times http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/13/politics/campaign/13korea.html story, it is "highly unusual for Mr. Kerry to seek out a reporter on Sunday, when he had no public appearances scheduled, to attack Mr. Bush." Still, the Bush administration's North Korea policy is a subject of legitimate debate, and Kerry is entitled to call a New York Times reporter, even on Sunday, to press his case. But what is stunning is how...

ANOKA, Minn. - Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) on Thursday lashed out at "the lie that's been put out there" about his Vietnam War service as Republicans and Democrats fiercely debated his military record, sensing a political advantage in keeping the issue alive. The debate started when a group of critics, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, raised questions about the Democratic presidential candidate's command during the Vietnam War. It has escalated into a tit-for-tat advertising war amid accusations from each campaign that the other side is improperly using independent groups to front their attacks. Responding to a...

Howdy. Senator Kerry, as your tour over "Flyover Country" rolls on, it must be really hard on your stomachs.

I know you must have been embarassed by the revelation that you ate on the bus at stop and threw the local food in the garbage. Gosh, maybe that's what you and the missus had a spat over recently: stayed in separate rooms. She might have even said "shove it". We all saw that...

Well, Senator Kerry, the flyover tour continues it must be just so hard on your stomachs. You are getting smarter though! You and the missus didn't even show up to that stupid Milwaukee Dairy Queen or that grubby Leon's BBQ place to throw your food away! Hey, I know you said you'd go, but you cleverly ducked that one and ate some fine cuisine at Pieces of Eight on the lakefront. Pretty slick my friend. It was a scenic location and the missus probably approved of that one. We understand that you and the missus are used to the finest...

Hey Senator Kerry. I know you must have been embarassed by the revelation that you ate on the bus at your last stop. We saw that you really didn't eat at Wendy's.

BOSTON - As a U.S. senator for nearly two decades, John Kerry will be a familiar figure to the 4,300 Democrats who gather in his hometown this week to make him their party's presidential nominee. Kerry's challenge at the Democratic National Convention opening Monday is to introduce himself in a more personal way to the millions of Americans who say they still don't know him - and to many more who, having heard or seen him, aren't yet sold on his candidacy. Despite months of intense campaigning and a burst of primary wins over Democratic rivals, Kerry, 60, remains something...

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Sen. John Kerry's criticism of increasing logging in national forests to ease wildfire threats shows how badly his brand of environmentalism is out of step with most Westerners, the Bush-Cheney campaign said Wednesday. Kerry's campaign countered that the Bush administration's forest policy is aimed more at bolstering timber industry profits than protecting communities from fires. Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said President Bush has failed to provide money necessary to remove small trees and underbrush that has built up near communities in the Sierra and around Lake Tahoe. "I thought the president would live up to his...

Bush Campaign Blasts Kerry's Bible Quote Monday March 29, 2004 3:16 AM By NEDRA PICKLER Associated Press Writer ST. LOUIS (AP) - John Kerry cited a Bible verse Sunday to criticize leaders who have ``faith but has no deeds,'' prompting President Bush's spokesman to accuse Kerry of exploiting Scripture for a political attack. Kerry never mentioned Bush by name during his speech at New North Side Baptist Church, but aimed his criticism at ``our present national leadership.'' Kerry cited Scripture in his appeal for the worshippers, including James 2:14, ``What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to...

For a national security speech earlier this month, Sen. John F. Kerry's speechwriters produced a draft that included the story of a woman who was suddenly evicted from military housing. Because her husband was killed in Iraq, authorities brusquely told her, she no longer qualified as a military family. Kerry's prepared speech had the words to crisply convey his outrage. "How can this happen in the United States of America?" the prepared text read. "Who among us could move on short notice when you don't even know where your paycheck will come from?" But when the Massachusetts Democrat delivered the...

Schanberg "Follow the Microfiche" enator John Kerry, a decorated battle veteran, was courageous as a navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War. But he was not so courageous more than two decades later, when he covered up voluminous evidence that a significant number of live American prisoners—perhaps hundreds—were never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed in January 1973. The Massachusetts senator, now seeking the presidency, carried out this...

WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Sen. John Kerry is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He mentions this fact in nearly every speech before supporters and his presidential campaign website currently has six images or stories on its main page devoted to his military background and his support for our troops. Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie this week challenged that support. "Candidate Kerry's rhetoric doesn't match up with Sen. Kerry's voting record," Gillespie charged on Monday. "Before he was a presidential candidate, Kerry voted to slash billions in defense spending and supported proposals to cut everything from Navy submarines to...
