***Barbara Boxer, John Kerry, George Soros: Anti-Bolton Smear Tactics***

Tell George Bush to nominate a new UN Ambassador!
4/27/2005

Dear Friend,

On April 19th, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee met once more to consider the nomination of John Bolton as UN Ambassador. In the light of many serious allegations against Bolton that have emerged over the past few weeks, I along with the other committee Democrats urged Chairman Lugar to hold off on a final vote until these allegations could be fully explored.

Most observers expected our efforts to fail, figuring that committee Republicans would steamroll Democrats on a party line vote and ram Bolton's nomination through, sending it to the Senate floor for a final vote. But that didn't happen.

Thanks in large part to your efforts, including more than 37,000 emails you sent to your senators in protest, Bolton's nomination was stopped in its tracks. Republican Senator George Voinovich of Ohio joined committee Democrats in urging more careful consideration of John Bolton's nomination, delaying a final vote for three weeks -- and I am so grateful for his support on this critical issue.

Now, it's time for us to do more.

Clearly, John Bolton is not qualified to be UN Ambassador -- and it's time to tell President Bush to nominate someone else.

John Bolton's nomination is dividing the country. This is a man who has shown nothing but contempt for the United Nations throughout his career. This is a man who has bullied intelligence analysts to try to get them to say what he wants, even when it's not true. This is a man who doesn't get along well with others and, if confirmed, would be entrusted with representing our nation in sensitive diplomatic negotiations at the United Nations.

Surely we can do better. Surely we can find a nominee for UN Ambassador that America can support and get behind -- not someone who divides our country and alienates our allies.

Tell President Bush to send the Senate a new UN nominee -- sign my petition to the White House now!

Every President has the right to choose senior members of his Administration. But every President also has an obligation to the American people that those nominees are well qualified for the positions they seek.

Clearly, with the nomination of John Bolton, George Bush has failed us. America deserves so much better from our United Nations Ambassador.

Tell President Bush to send us a new nominee today!

In Friendship,

Dear Friend,

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations - and, in particular, Senator Lincoln Chafee - have a big decision to make this week.

I've made my decision. I will vigorously oppose the nomination of John Bolton as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

Have you ever noticed that in the Bush Administration, the only way to get a job promotion is to bungle our national security? As under secretary of state for arms control and international security for the past four years, Mr. Bolton has achieved little. In fact, we secured more nuclear materials in the two years before September 11th than in the two years after. North Korea and Iran are now burgeoning nuclear states. This record earned John Bolton a nomination to the UN?

How can we believe this nomination makes any sense at all?

We can't believe it.

But, unless Senator Lincoln Chafee puts principle over party, the inexplicable John Bolton nomination will squeak through the Foreign Relations Committee on a party line vote.

We have to do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen.

That's why, in addition to being vocal about my own opposition to Senator Bolton, I am organizing johnkerry.com activists in Rhode Island to contact Senator Chafee, and I am running online ads in the Rhode Island media.

See the ad for yourself.

http://www.johnkerry.com/action/chafee-ad.php

Why retain and promote those who have failed to make America more safe and secure? Donald Rumsfeld has been a disaster as Secretary of Defense. That's why over 800,000 people have signed our petition supporting my call for Rumsfeld's resignation. Yet the President stands stubbornly by him.

Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz has made repeated and serious miscalculations about the costs and risks America would face in Iraq. Yet now the Bush Administration wants us to believe he is the right person to lead the World Bank.

And now, the Bush administration wants to add John Bolton to that astonishing list.

I will keep you posted on our efforts to stop this nomination from advancing.

Sincerely,

John Kerry

P.S. I'm sharing this with you because I want you to know how hard we're working on this critical vote. But, I also want you to be prepared. Should the Bolton nomination make it through committee, we may have to wage a nationwide effort to defeat it on the floor of the Senate.

Uh, Mr. Kerry, I know this is a ridiculous question, but... "DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS TO DO SOMETHING F-O-R THE COUNTRY, AS OPPOSED TO JUST CRITCIZING THE PRESIDENT?"

I guess this means Kerry won't have time to sign a 180 form.

I got this information from an email from Move America Forward:


Friends,

We've come across information on the efforts by liberal Senators
Barbara Boxer and John Kerry to defeat John Bolton, the man President
Bush has nominated to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the UN.

Boxer and Kerry are using their Political Action Committee's (PACs)
and campaign accounts to wage an aggressive attack on Bolton's
nomination.

READ ABOUT BOXER'S ATTACK ON BOLTON AT HER PAC WEBSITE:

http://www.pacforachange.com/

READ ABOUT JOHN KERRY'S ATTACK AT HIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE:

http://www.johnkerry.com/email/0411.html

This is what we're up against - two of the most powerful liberal
Democrats in the country putting their political machine at work
to defeat Bolton.

MoveOn.org - with its millions of dollars in funding from George
Soros - has activated its network of 2 MILLION plus activists
across the nation.

In fact, just today we received a phone call from a George Soros
associate who posed as a college student doing a "research paper" on
the Bolton nomination fight. This phony "student" wanted inside
information on our ad campaign supporting Bolton including
information on where our next ads would air, and how much we'd
spend in each market.

The problem for this fake "student" was that the phone number he
left behind is the phone number of Darrell Rogers, a key Soros
ally who heads up a pro-drug use organization.

Barbara Boxer... John Kerry... George Soros... MoveOn.org

These are the forces of the far Left who have teamed up to challenge
John Bolton.

... We've already seen how
successful the smear campaign against Bolton was in getting
'moderate' Republicans to temporarily stray from their support
of Bolton.

Next week we return to the TV airwaves with our newest ads...

Yes, this POLS (you can decode that) -- has no time for anything relating to this country. Going all the way back to Clintoni, all these people EVER DO "FOR" AMERICA is obstruction and self-empowerment. Just look at Kerry's non-existent campaign platform...these people have ZERO FOCUS on the country, only focus on being in CONTROL OF IT.

Marxism, 101.

If the Bolton nomination does fail, I would like Bush to nominate Rep. Ron Paul for the position. Short of that, I would leave it vacant. Can he do that? Does he HAVE to appoint a UN ambassador? Funny how all the dems are up in arms about a harsh speaking John Bolton, but not a frigging WORD about the massive an inexusable failures of the UN. Is it any wonder they can't win elections? I'm not too familiar with the rules, but if it doesn't get out of committe, it can still be pushed to the senate floor for a vote with a negative recommendation can't it? It would still pass.

Well .. I wouldn't have given out the information. You can always say it's proprietary information.

Answer their emails. Go to http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/gloriajanemusic.htm and scroll down to the fifth song. "Democrats Stop Playing Your Block And Blame Game"

Under the song you will find a link that says, "Tell-A-Friend" Put in kerry's email address and send him the link to the song. Repeat with boxer and any other obstructionist democrap you can think of.

They'll get the idea!

There's "outright smear" and then there is "passive-aggressive smear":

[excerpt from today's aussie jayjray Leftist Elites blog]

Unbelievable self-deception and reality-denial. Just listen to what Elizabeth Edwards, wife of the recent Democrat vice-Presidential nominee, has to say about free speech and compare it with the constant attacks on anything conservative that occur almost daily on Left-dominated American university and college campuses: "Democrats are simply good and decent people. And good and decent people want everyone to do well -- those who agree with them and those who do not. We fight for the right of voices with which we disagree to speak out, for the right of people to say things we don't believe to be true, even for the right to be malicious and mean-spirited." Just look at today's post on EDUCATION WATCH for starters.

***American Democrat party smells all the way to Australia.
