Interesting Kerry article
Kerry: U.S. would be better, safer with my plans
Ex-candidate: Bush 'dragged his feet' on security, military issues

The Associated Press
Updated: 10:44 a.m. ET Feb. 15, 2005

WASHINGTON - Former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who lost decisively to President Bush in an election focused on national security, said Tuesday the country would be “far better off” with his proposals for Iraq and the military.

“I think my security proposals for the country were smack on, dead on,” Kerry said. “I think that had they started to do the things I proposed on Iraq when I proposed them, we would be far better off today. And they are in fact now trying to do some of the things that I proposed.

7. and badly I might add
They don't really get it, so they can't implement properly.

Even so, they should send Kerry a check every week. Sometimes he seems like an unpaid advisor. During the campaign, he'd say something, and then about a month later they'd make some token effort in that direction, perhaps just so they could say "What's Kerry talking about? We already do protect our ports! See, we just threw some money at them this week!"

Even if Kerry was beaten decisively, which I dispute, that doesn't make him wrong. Just not the president.

2. I have one quibble:
"...John Kerry, who lost decisively to President Bush..."

"LOST DECISIVELY" MY ASS.

4. He "lost"
By 100,000 "votes" in Ohio.

Typical MSM tactic: try to make it look like a landslide when it clearly, obviously wasn't. Repeat ad infinitum, and soon enough people will be spouting it for gospel.

"Oh you know, Kerry just got his ASS handed to him in 2004..."

:eyes: :puke:

I hate hate hate hate hate the media.

8. This is how the media uses demoralizing language against Democrats, so
they can keep their dictatortot propped up and Master Rove happy.

Bush turns journalists into prostitutes and prostitutes into journalists.

6. That bothered me too! If they say it often enough, maybe it'll be true?

9. Even if there was no election fraud
Bush's win would be classified by one and all as a squeaker.
