John Kerry is holding out hope that China will cooperate with US efforts to grapple with climate change — despite contentious relations between the two nations. “Our hope is that we’re going to be able to deal with yes, China,” Kerry, the Biden administration’s Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, told reporters in Dubai on Saturday. “President Biden has made it clear and I’ve made it clear,” he said. “None of the other issues we have with China — and there are issues — is held hostage to or is engaged in a trade for what we need to do on...

by Craig E. Richardson    Kerry’s Catholic Supporters 10/29/04 There has been much discussion about whether Catholics in good standing can support Senator John Kerry for president because of his extreme views on abortion. His voting record and public statements on life issues clearly contradict the Church’s teaching and many Catholics are insistent that this disqualifies him for consideration. There are Catholics, however, who are actively supporting Kerry’s presidential bid and they are not shy about expressing their opinions. One such group is Pax Christi USA (peace of Christ), an organization calling itself “the national Catholic peace movement.” Auxiliary Bishop...

Some familiar echoes from 20 years ago: Giving aid and comfort during Vietnam was bad enough. But it was more of the same in the 1980's, when he and Vietnam pal  Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) met with the enemy in Nicaragua. When some in Congress criticized this trip as violating the Constitution, Kerry's refrain: he was "...a veteran of Vietnam who fought and was wounded in that conflict."  Secretary of State George Shultz called a spade a spade, " The litany of apology for communists, and condemnation for America and our friends, is beginning again."

...but he certainly thinks that you are. A caller to my talk show earlier this week was trying to explain his support for John Kerry. He particularly liked Kerry’s plan to increase taxes on the highest income earners. It was an explanation only a Democrat could love. “If the government takes more money away from the rich,” he said, “then the rich will have to work harder to get that money back, and this will increase productivity and help our economy.” If this caller is right armed robbery should be looked at as a positive influence on our economy. The...

As US grapples with off shoring job losses, Uncle Sam presses the world to let it's high charging lawyers, consultants and accountants to practice in their countries, who say they don't really need them. If one assumes that about 30% of the US IT industry revenues come from overseas , now one of the hardest hit by off-shoring, one can say the world has been supporting the industry ( and quite a few American jobs), for quite some time....

WASHINGTON - Saddam Hussein's capture threatens to blunt Democratic front-runner Howard Dean's signature issue as the first primary contests near: his fervent opposition to the war in Iraq. Saddam may have surrendered without firing a shot, but that was hardly the case with Dean's top rivals, who fired at the front-runner with abandon yesterday, sensing his political vulnerability for the first time in the 2004 race. The harshest anti-Dean volleys came from Sens. Joseph Lieberman (D- Conn.) and John F.
