I don't have anything to do with this site but I came accross it and noticed that Bush is leading Kerry 64% - 36% !

They have a show on about the "bling bling" between Bush and Kerry.Kerry has 5 mansions but what caught my attention is the fact that Kerry's mansion in Idaho is actually an English mansion that he had shipped from Englind.That's right...

Kerry: strange, stuck-up... and stupid By Mark Steyn (Filed: 24/08/2004) According to Francis Harris in Saturday's Telegraph, allegations that John Kerry "lied about his Vietnam record" are "unravelling". Oh, I wouldn't say that. Right now, it looks like the sanity of the Kerry campaign and its pals in the media that's beginning to unravel. Switch on the TV these days and you'll see John O'Neill, principal spokesman for the hundreds of Swift boat veterans who oppose their old comrade Kerry, talking calmly and patiently about the facts, citing chapter and verse and relevant footnotes, while some deranged interviewer is going...

Steve Gardner was just on the Jerry Doyle radio show for the last hour and he broke some breaking news: 1) Swiftvets.com took in $280,000 just today before 1500 Hrs. and is going to be close to $400,000 for the day. 2) Judicial Watch (I know) just filed war crimes charged against Kerry to the Sec of the Navy for his Vietnam crimes of war he admitted to to the US Senate. 3) There will be some breaking news soon on actual Nave official documents about kerry that will prove more of his official lies.

Did anyone watch NightLine tonight. It was about Mexican Illegals and they highlighted workers in Las Vegas.They were saying Bush's plan doesn't give any amnesty or citizenship to Mexicans who come here to work. They basically said they come to work and have to go home?Is this true?

According to an ABCNEWS/Washington Post poll, Bush's overall job approval rating stands at 57 percent Those are positive results for the White House given that the last few weeks have been some of the deadliest in Iraq since the war started in March. So is the fact that 62 percent of Americans say U.S forces should remain until order is restored, despite the casualties.
