He's got another vote Here too. You can put together a smear sheat on just about anyone if you hate them enough.

Here is my resume if you focus on and exaggerate the bad parts...

- couldnt make it into any good universitys so I had to go to a technical school

- failed all my classes the first two years in that school

- walked from my first job in an explosive arguement with a supervisor

- Drove wrecklessly and wrecked 3 cars before I was even 21

- Have a good stash of pornography on my PC

- Have hired strippers to come to a hotel room for entertainment many times.

- Has smoked weed quite a few times and drank too much also.

[markd79ta]

That is soooo convenient to blame one man for an economic recession. I guess Bush was to blame for the corporations cooking the books in the bull market of the 90s. I guess Bush was to blame that we the American people over-invested into the .coms (with no proof of earnings) that eventually went bust in 2000. I guess Bush was to blame for the September 11th attacks that rattled our cage. I guess Bush is to blame for the 40years of terrorism gone unchecked in the middle east. I guess Bush is to blame for the cost of the "War on Terror" that nobody had the balls to act on before Bush. I guess Bush is to blame for the Patriot Act (that protects you and me from future harm) that was virtually unanimously passed in Congress. I guess Bush was to blame for the 90s military reductions that needed to be reversed after the September 11th attacks. I guess Bush was to blame for having to poor billions into NY along with the aid needed from western forest fires caused by the awful drought that we are experiencing for the last seven years. I guess Bush is to blame for all of our economic woes we have today!!!! Yep, lets just blame Bush for it all...there is no way it could rest on all of our short-sightedness? Perhaps, maybe, he inherited those problems and our elected officials both in the executive and congressional branch are trying their best to clean up the mess?

Here's what Kerry doesn't want you to read

BROTHERS BAND TOGETHER AGAINST KERRY

Thu Aug 12,12:21 AM ET

By Ann Coulter

Democrats haven't been this upset about an American engaging in free speech since Juanita Broaddrick opened her yap.

Two hundred fifty-four Swift Boat Veterans have signed a letter saying John Kerry (news - web sites) is not fit to be commander in chief, a point developed in some detail in the blockbuster new book by John O'Neill, aptly titled "Unfit for Command." At the 2003 reunion of Swift Boat Veterans, about 300 men showed up: 85 percent of them think Kerry is unfit to be president. (On the bright side, Kerry was voted, in absentia, "Most Likely to Run for President on His Phony War Record.") Fewer than 10 percent of all Swift Boat Veterans contacted refused to sign the letter.

Kerry was in Vietnam for only four months, which, coincidentally, is less than the combined airtime he's spent talking about it. It takes a special kind of person to get that many people to hate your guts in so little time. The last time this many people hated one person after only four months was when Margaret Cho had her own sitcom.

But our young Eddie Haskell managed to annoy other servicemen even before he came home and called them war criminals. About 60 eyewitnesses to Kerry's service are cited in the book, describing Kerry fleeing comrades who were under attack, disregarding orders, putting others in danger, sucking up to his commanders, creating phony film footage of his exploits with a home-movie camera, and recommending himself for medals and Purple Hearts in vainglorious reports he wrote himself. (This was apparently before the concept of "fragging" put limits on such behavior.)

After three months of combat, Kerry had collected enough film footage for his political campaigns, so he went home. He even shot three different endings to the episode where he chases down a VC guy after test audiences thought Kerry shooting a wounded teenager in the back was too much of a "downer." After filming his last staged exploit, Kerry reportedly told a buddy, "That's a wrap. See you at the convention in about 35 years."

Kerry is demanding to be made president on the basis of spending four months in Vietnam 35 years ago. And yet the men who know what he did during those four months don't think he's fit to be dogcatcher. That seems newsworthy to me, but I must be wrong since the media have engineered a total blackout of the Swift Boat Veterans.

In May, the Swiftees held a spellbinding press conference in Washington, D.C. In front of a photo being used by the Kerry campaign to tout Kerry's war service, the officers stood up, one by one, pointed to their own faces in the campaign photo, and announced that they believed Kerry unfit for command. Only one officer in the photo supports Kerry for president. Seventeen say he is not fit to be president.

The press covered it much as they covered Paula Jones' first press conference.

With the media playing their usual role as Truth Commissar for the now-dead Soviet Union, the Swiftees are having to purchase ad time in order to be heard. No Tim Russert interviews, no "Today" show appearances, no New York Times editorials or Vanity Fair hagiographies for these heretics against the liberal religion. The only way Swift Boat Veterans for Truth could get less attention would be to go on "Air America" radio.

If the 254 veterans against Kerry got one-tenth as much media coverage for calling Kerry a liar as Clown Joe Wilson did for calling Bush a liar, the veterans wouldn't need to buy ad time to get their message out. (Wilson, you'll recall, was a media darling for six or seven months before being exposed as a fantasist by Senate investigators.)

With their commitment to free speech and a robust exchange of ideas (i.e., "child pornography" and "sedition"), the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) is threatening to sue TV stations that run the Swift Boat Veterans' paid ads. Sue? Can you tell already that there are two lawyers at the top of the Democratic ticket? These are the same people who accuse John Ashcroft (news - web sites) of shredding the Bill of Rights. WHY ISN'T THE PRESS COVERING THIS??? Wait, now I remember. OK, never mind. (To contribute to the Swift Boat Veterans go here: https://coral.he.net/~swiftvet/swift...site=SwiftVets)

The threat to sue is absurd, but will allow the very same TV stations that are already censoring the Swiftees to have an excuse to censor even purchased airtime.

Leave aside the fact that Kerry is a presidential candidate and -- judging by the ads being run against George Bush -- I gather there's nothing you can't say about a presidential candidate, including calling him Hitler. After reading "Unfit for Command," I am pretty sure Kerry doesn't want a neutral tribunal deciding who's telling the truth here.

The Swift Boat Veterans provide detailed accounts from dozens and dozens of eyewitnesses to Kerry's Uriah Heep-like behavior -- which "Unfit for Command" contrasts with Kerry's boastful descriptions of the exact same incidents.

By contrast, Kerry's supporters have their usual off-the-rack denunciations of any witness against a Democrat. The veterans are: liars, bigots, idiots, politically motivated, and I was never alone in a hotel with Paula Jones.

Ron Brownstein, Los Angeles Times reporter and Bill Clinton (news - web sites)'s favorite reporter, compared the Swift Boat Veterans' ad to a "snuff film." He claimed the veterans have "strong Republican ties."

Apparently, before being permitted to engage in free speech against Democrats in this country you have to: (1) prove that you are not a Republican, (2) take a vow of poverty, and (3) purchase the right to speak in a TV ad. On the basis of Clown Wilson, Michael Moore, George Soros, Moveon.org, etc., etc., etc., I gather the requirements for engaging in free speech against a Republican are somewhat less rigorous. Hey! Maybe John Edwards (news - web sites) is right: There really are two Americas!

O'Neill, the author of "Unfit for Command" and founder of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, can be heard on the Nixon tapes -- unaware that he was being taped -- telling Nixon that he came from a family of Democrats and voted for Hubert Humphrey in the prior election. Unlike Joe Wilson, Anita Hill or Richard Clarke, Woodward and Bernstein, et al., O'Neill has said he will take no royalties on his book but will donate all his profits to the Navy. So I think even under liberals' rules, O'Neill is allowed to have an opinion.

Before the book was released and O'Neill could appear to defend it, liberals were on TV denouncing the book. If memory serves, the last book Democrats tried this hard to suppress was the Bible. The DNC is threatening to sue to prevent the Swift Boat Veterans from buying ad time. When Democrats are this terrified of a book, it's not because they have a good answer. Howard Dean (news - web sites) can accuse Ashcroft of book-burning all he wants, but it's the Democrats who are doing everything in their power to prevent you from reading "Unfit for Command." In bookstores beginning this week.

[Dave M]

Perhaps it's actually possible that politicians from both parties suck! Republicans are as bad as democrats and vice-versa. Who you are more likely to agree with has more to do with how you were raised and your personal view on matters than it does with who is actually right. Politics is opinion on a national scale and nobody will ever be right, and everyone has skeletons in their closet.

[aschroeger]

I'm not voting.....Damned if you do, damned if you dont... I don't like either runner personally..

[fastTa]

I saw this in another sig and liked it:

[NJSpeed]

I'll take Bush over Kerry any day. At least Bush won't roll over like a panty-waste liberal (Kerry) when the hard decisions need to be made.

Im with you i wouldnt call bush a great president by any means but i dont think Kerry will do any better

[SteveH95Formula]

I know one thing I'm not voting for the terrorist, cowards or f@gets!

[gimp19]

If you compare the state of our country with a Bush (senior or junior) in office to when Clinton was in charge its sickening. Thats why I'm voting Kerry, things cant get any worse then they are now.

You are greatly misinformed. MSNBC, The Wall Street Journal, and Forbes are all reporting that the economy is steadily bettering itself. Unemployment is STILL going down, the industrial economy is STILL strengthening, home ownership is at an all time high, the current interest rates are reflective of more people spending money, and retail sales are steadily and have been climbing.

Keep in mind that George W. and his staff are doing all of this while we are at war!!

George W is doing an excellent job. Forbes and the Wall Street Journal are even showing how the unemployment rate under George W is lower than that of Clinton.
