sKERRY'S DOG STORY
For those of you who not only didn't believe Kerry's Vietnam tall tale about a
dog named "VC" being blown off his swift boat only to miraculously land on
another swift boat (what are the odds?), but didn't believe the boob would even
tell such a cockamamie story in the first place, here's the link to the PDF
survey he filled out for the Humane Society so you can see it for yourself:
http://www.humaneusa.org/2004_presidential/question/jkerry_2004.pdf
Read it and weep.
YES, SEN. KERRY...COME OUT OF THE LIBERAL CLOSET
"Next time you're asked, Senator, why not stand firm (you're already tall) and
tell Americans, crisply, sharply and with conviction, how liberal values have
shaped the greatness of this country. It won't lose you the election. It might
just help you win it."
- Liberal Katrina vanden Heuvel, liberal editor of the liberal The Nation
magazine advising liberal John Kerry to admit openly he's a liberal
GETTING AWAY FROM THE PEASANTS
"Dem candidate-in-waiting John Kerry is set for a 5-day luxury break at his Sun
Valley, Idaho compound after a week riddled with gaffes, missteps and slippage
in the polls. Gorgeous, 19.5 rooms at 7,749 square-feet, with a market value of
$4.9 million [property taxes of more than $30,000 annually], Kerry's Idaho
vacation getaway will be the setting of a Spring Break regroup and unwind,
sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT."
- Drudge Report, 3/17/04
sKERRY TAKES VACATION BEFORE NOT TAKING A VACATION
"Republicans may want to know which foreign leaders have been secretly endorsing
John Kerry, but Democrats probably would rather know why their standard-bearer
is taking a five-day hiatus in his vacation home in Idaho just as the battle is
heating up. The candidate and his wife landed last night in Twin Falls in what
the AP called an 'unmarked' Boeing 737. Mr. Kerry must be ill or just severely
tuckered, because it's a weird time to be taking off. In fact, any time is weird
to take off in such a close race that's already going full-tilt."
- Holman Jenkins, Political Diary, 3/18/04
GUTLESS COWARDS
"Spain, once the land of conquistadors and conquest, is now ground zero for
gutless cowardice in the face of terror."
- Columnist Michael Graham
SPINELESS WEASELS
"Another day, another bombing by Al-Qaeda. A huge car bomb tore through Baghdad
last night, killing 27 people. And what was the target of the cowardly Islamic
terrorists? A military installation? A government office? Some other military
target? Of course not, why it was an unguarded hotel filled with innocent
civilians. . . . Those of you who think this election is about health care, jobs
and other worthless political issues need to take note: Islamic terrorism is not
going to go away, and we are next... . . . If we don't continue cleaning house
in the Middle East, this is going to keep happening. What's it going to take for
the spineless weasels on the left to get that through their thick skull?"
- Talk-show host Neal Boortz
THE WORLD UNDER JOHN KERRY
"That ultimatum (by President Bush for Saddam to leave Iraq or be forcibly
removed) came one year ago today--twelve months in which Saddam went from
palace, to bunker, to spider hole, to jail. A year ago, he was the all-powerful
dictator of Iraq, controlling the lives and the future of almost 25 million
people. Today, the people of Iraq know that the dictator and his sons will never
torment them again. And we can be certain that they will never again threaten
Iraq's neighbors or the United States of America. . . . Had the decision
belonged to Sen. Kerry, Saddam Hussein would still be in power, today, in Iraq.
In fact, Saddam Hussein would almost certainly still be in control of Kuwait.
"...On national security, the senator has shown at least one measure of
consistency. Over the years, he has repeatedly voted against weapons systems for
the military. He voted against the Apache helicopter, against the Tomahawk
cruise missile, against even the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. He has also been a
reliable vote against military pay increases--opposing them no fewer than 12
times. Many of these very weapons systems have been used by our forces in Iraq
and Afghanistan, and are proving to be valuable assets in the war on terror."
- Vice President Dick Cheney at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and
Museum in Simi Valley, Calif., 3/17/04
RETURN OF THE McCAIN MUTINY
"A day after Vice President Dick Cheney delivered a devastating attack on Sen.
John Kerry's defense and national security records, Sen. John McCain is coming
to Kerry's defense. McCain told NBC Thursday morning that he doesn't believe
that Kerry is 'necessarily weak on defense' -- even though he says they disagree
on some issues, according to the Associated Press."
- NewsMax.com, 3/18/04
PATRONIZING THE "COLORED" KIDS
"The ad in USA Today wasn't headlined 'For Blacks and Hispanics, These Kids Are
Pretty Smart' -- but it might as well have been. The full-page layout trumpeted
the 32 college students selected as finalists in the American Advertising
Federation's annual 'Most Promising Minority Students Program.' . . . Perhaps
the 32 students hailed in the ad really are gifted whiz kids with a genius for
advertising -- but when the competition excludes more than 70 percent of the
field, how would one know? (According to the American Council on education,
'students of color' account for 28 percent of all undergraduates, and just 21.8
percent of all bachelor's degrees awarded.)"
- Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby
HECK, WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT LEGAL TO HUNT 'EM?
"The folks on the Rhea County Commission in Tennessee have thought up a really
... umm ... unique way to block gay marriage from spreading into their
community. Their solution: criminalize homosexuality and so that they can ban
homosexuals from even living in Rhea County.
"Commissioner J.C. Fugate proposed the resolution urging state lawmakers to
introduce legislation amending Tennessee's criminal code so that Rhea County can
charge homosexuals with 'crimes against nature.' Under Fugate's plan, gay
persons could be both imprisoned for this criminal offense and barred from even
living in the county itself because -- by their very nature -- homosexuals would
all be deemed criminals. That, you see, would stop gay marriage from even
reaching this area. 'We need to keep them out of here ... I'd like to make
[sure] that those kind of people cannot live in Rhea County or abide in Rhea
County. If they're caught in Rhea County living together as such, they should be
tried for crimes against nature,' said Fugate.
"The resolution passed by an 8-0 vote. The commissioners later asked the County
Attorney to 'find the best way [now] to enact a local law banning homosexuals
from living in Rhea County.' Rhea County was the same jurisdiction that
criminally prosecuted school teacher John Scopes in 1925 for teaching Darwin's
theory of evolution -- an event the county celebrates each year with a
festival."
- Ron Gunzburger, Politics1, 3/18/04
HOLE-IN-YOUR-WALLET GANG STRIKES AGAIN
Another member of the infamous political Kennedy Gang is under fire. A staffer
for former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D) stands accused of
diverting a whopping $6.3 million taxpayer dollars into KKT's failed 2002
gubernatorial campaign.
