Tehrani Johnny

Some poetic whimsy...

Teherani Johnni

The gift that keeps on giving,
That’s what John Kerry is;
As long as that fool’s living,
He’ll keep us blogs in biz.
Big John’s too dumb to ever get
His big foot from his mouth;
So at ease, relax, you Swiftvets,
His campaign’s headed south.

He began his long tradition,
While still wearing Navy blue,
Of practicing sedition,
Against vets like me, like you.
As a second john in Paris,
He courted Madame Binh,
Who hooked her nail in his naris,
And sent her songbird home to sing.

And now he’s right back to it,
Lurching into media light;
Again he says he’ll do it,
So damn sure he is right.
He’ll go see Imawhackjob,
To plan how we’ll surrender,
Another stab us in the back job,
The only plan Big John can render.

They’ll fete him sure in Teheran,
Perhaps with parades and floats,
A happy, winning, waving John,
So far from those Swift boats.
His treason will put a big smile
On the face of many a Teherani,
So proud of Imawhackjob’s guile,
In creating Teherani Johnni.

The Great Pretender talks tough with Maher... about killing the President of the United States. Yeah, sure, and tell us its a joke later.

Do us a favor Johnny Boy, go for another run in '08, it would guarantee us another four years and the only thing better than kicking your ass in '04 would be to do it again in '08.

Same Shit, Different Decade

Old habits don't die. They hibernate.

Were you wondering why John Kerry would attack our Troops serving in Iraq? Wondering why he woud make false accusations, aid and abet the enemy, encourage both anti-American sentiment and additional attacks on our Troops? Wondering why he would say:

And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the–of–the historical customs, religious customs.

Well, you need only look to history and science for the answer. Remember that John Kerry launched his political career on April 23, 1971, when he attacked our Troops serving in Vietnam. Remember that he made false accusations, aided and abetted the enemy, encouraged anti-American sentiment, and directly caused the continued torture and death of an untold number of American Troops. Remember that he said:

"They told stories that at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Ghengis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."

John Kerry has built his entire political career on such lies, he can't help it. John Kerry is a habitual liar, and as a result, he likely suffers from brain damage from a lifetime of lies:

... habitual activity (e.g., smoking, eating fatty foods, gambling, etc.) changes neural activity patterns in a specific region of the brain when habits are formed. These neural patterns created by habit can be changed or altered. But when a stimulus from the old days returns, the dormant pattern can reassert itself, according to a new study from the M.I.T., putting an individual in a neural state akin to being on autopilot... The neural patterns get established in the basal ganglia, a brain region critical to habits, addiction and procedural learning."

I'm not making excuses for the bastard, and I'm not joking either. John Kerry's neural state is on "liar autopilot." He lies, and lies, and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies. And lies

Still, brain damage or not, the simple fact remains that John Kerry disgraced this Country, his uniform, and his service with his politically motivated lies and false testimony concerning those brave men who fought for freedom in Vietnam.

John Kerry shamed the memory of the 58,000 brave troops whose names are etched on the Wall.

John Kerry lied and manipulated his way into a position to abandon his men in Vietnam.

John Kerry stole the bravery, the dignity and the honor of our Vietnam Veterans. He stole their hopes and dreams. He stole their future.

What John Kerry stole from our Veterans, he used as stepping stones to his own future, caring not who or what was crushed beneath his feet.

And now he is trying to do it again.

Still have presidential hopes John? Forget it. On November 2, 2004, you finally experienced a small measure of the very rejection that our Vietnam Veterans experienced as a direct result of your words and deeds in 1971. You are now known by your own words and deeds to be a fraud and a phony, a loser and a liar, a political opportunist and a traitor. On November 2, 2004, America rejected you completely by an overwhelming majority and sentenced you to a life of obscurity and humiliation. On that day, John Kerry, you finally reaped what you have sown for the last 40 years.

You are a nothing and a nobody, everywhere and anywhere, except of course, in the eyes of Bin Laden and his ilk, and of course, the citizen of Assachusetts. You will likely keep your senate seat, because Assachusetts is Assachusetts, but that's all you get John. So sit down, shut up, and collect your unearned paycheck.

For America sees your sickness, and is repulsed. Sit down and shut up John, because you should be tried for treason and receive the ultimate sentence when convicted:

I wouldn't want your eternity John and I hope hell is hot enough for you.

Yet Another Kerry Rant

Dear John:

Two hundred and eighty-seven days have passed since you promised America to sign your Form 180 and release all of the information surrounding your discharge from the United States Navy.

After making this promise to America, you then stated to the Boston Globe that had in fact signed it, and further promised that "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

You have broken these promises John.

You did not release all of the information surrounding your discharge from the United States Navy, claiming that you released what the Navy sent.

America would like to see your signed 180 John. America would like to see whether you did in fact allow for full disclosure. Show us that you checked the box for an "undeleted report of separation," John, and not the one that deletes that information.

Did you release all of your records John, or did you keep some secret?

The answer to that question seems obvious. America knows you kept the discharge secret. America knows you are lying.

Do you think we are stupid John? Come on. The Globe says the records you authorized to be released were pretty much the same ones they already had. The Navy confirmed that they had over 100 pages they could not release without your authorization.

Inquiring minds want to know, John, what type of discharge did you get, John, and how did that discharge change after Carter pardoned all draft dodgers and traitors to this country?

We want to see your records John, and you promised to release them. You also promised we could see your 180. Where is your 180?? Show it to us. Set your 180 free John!

Your failure to do so John, even after your promises, proves that you are a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar.

We have not forgotten John, and we will not let America forget either.

You can send your own letter to The Great Pretender reminding him of his promise, and I urge you to do so.

Cao tells us of eleven Marines who, after nearly four decades, have finally come home from Vietnam despite the best efforts of John Kerry:

John Kerry did his best to turn his back on any of his brothers at arms dead or alive remaining in Vietnam, heading up a committee –the sole purpose of which was to “normalize” relations with Vietnam at the expense of all of the POWs left there.
The old adage is “no man left behind”. But Kerry betrayed everything he learned at officers training school. He sucked up to the communists then, he’s sucking up to them today.

Liar Liar

Dear John:

Two hundred and seventy-three days have passed since you promised America to sign your Form 180 and release all of the information surrounding your discharge from the United States Navy.

After making this promise to America, you then stated to the Boston Globe that had in fact signed it, and further promised that "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

You have broken these promises John.

You did not release all of the information surrounding your discharge from the United States Navy, claiming that you released what the Navy sent.

Did you release all of your records John, or did you keep some secret?

The answer to that question seems obvious. America knows you kept the discharge secret. America knows you are lying.

STFU!!!

"It will be hard for this administration, but it is essential to acknowledge that the insurgency will not be defeated unless our troop levels are drawn down, starting immediately after successful elections in December. The presence of 159,000 U.S. troops in Iraq is deterring peace efforts. Senator John F'ng Kerry

So, the only way to win is to surrender?

Tis true that Bush's second term has been more than a disappointment but, things like this remind me that no matter how bad it is, I am still grateful that John Kerry ain't in the White House.

Whose side is John Kerry on anyway? Not ours, that's for sure.

Set it Free John!

Its been two hundred and sixty days since John Kerry promised to sign his 180 and yes, that's one hundred and forty-one days longer than Kerry "served" in Vietnam.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

And yet... During an interview with the Boston Globe, Kerry was asked if he had signed Form SF 180, authorizing the Department of Defense to grant access to all his military records. And Kerry said...

"I have signed it," Kerry said. Then, he added that his staff was "still going through it" and "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

Well, I'd like to see your signed 180 John, show it to me. Show me that you allowed for full disclosure, John. Show me that you checked the box for an "undeleted report of separation," John, and not the one that deletes that information.

Did you release all of your records John, or did you keep some secret? Of course you did John, of course you did.

Yes, two hundred and sixty three days later, Kerry's 180 is still MIA and all over America a cry has gone out - a cry that has fallen on deaf ears.

Come on John. The Globe says the records you authorized to be released were pretty much the same ones they already had. The Navy said they had over 100 pages they could not release without your authorization.

Inquiring minds want to know, John, what type of discharge did you get, John, and how did that discharge change after Carter pardoned all draft dodgers and traitors to this country?

It's been one hundred thirty-seven days since you said you signed it John Kerry, one hundred thirty-two days since you said we could see it. We want to see it, John. Where is your 180?? Show it to us.

Sorry John, but you can't lie, cheat or weasel your way out of it. Why? Because, as we all know, John F. Kerry, you are a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar.

It's been thirty-nine days since you said you signed it John Kerry, fifty-three days since you said we could see it. We want to see it, John. Where is your 180?? Show it to us.

Got news for you John, releasing your grades won't throw us off the truth trail... although it proves that you're the slacker we said you are. Still, proving you're a slacker ain't enough John, we want to prove you are low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar and we are not going to let this one go.

Sorry John, but you can't lie, cheat or weasel your way out of it. Why? Because, as we all know, John F. Kerry, you are a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar, and a slacker. So. My vow stands. I will write that low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar every Tuesday for the rest of his lying scum sucking piece of shit life.

Free Kerry's 180 - Day 18

Its been one hundred and twenty-eight days since John Kerry promised to sign his 180 and yes, that's eight days longer than Kerry "served" in Vietnam.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

And yet... During an interview with the Boston Globe, Kerry was asked if had signed Form SF 180, authorizing the Department of Defense to grant access to all his military records. And Kerry said...

"I have signed it," Kerry said. Then, he added that his staff was "still going through it" and "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

But... where is it? It's been eighteen days since you said you signed it John Kerry, where is the 180?? Who has it? When will we see it? Alas and alas... Kerry's 180 is still MIA.

Did John Kerry sign his 180? I'll believe it when I see it.

All over America a cry has gone out - a cry that has fallen on deaf ears.

Did he sign it? Maybe. But if he did, he probably put it next to his "Plan for America" and that means we will never see it. That, or he likely used invisible ink, or he will never send the damn thing to the Navy. Why? Because, as we all know, John F. Kerry is a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar.

So, today I sent yet another email to the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar reminding him of his promise to America.

Free John Kerry's 180!!

Its been one hundred and twenty-one days since John Kerry promised to sign his 180.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

And suddenly... During an interview with the Boston Globe, Kerry was asked if had signed Form SF 180, authorizing the Department of Defense to grant access to all his military records. And Kerry said...

"I have signed it," Kerry said. Then, he added that his staff was "still going through it" and "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

But... where is it? It's been eleven days since you said you signed it John Kerry, where is the 180?? Who has it? When will we see it? Alas and alas... Kerry's 180 is still MIA.

Did John Kerry sign his 180? I'll believe it when I see it.

So? We are writing a bit of poetry to entertain ourselves while we wait. My bit of prose:

John Kerry, he is such a liar
I'll keep his feet to the fire
for a hero he is not
despite the medals he got
He's stuck in the honesty quagmire

and there's this from Caosblog:

Mr. Kerry, you gave us your word
Which thousands of Americans heard
On meet the press tv
Won’t you set free
The records that you have incurred?

Set that 180 free John Kerry
Before the nation gets even more scarey
You never can tell
What righwingers from hell
Can do if you don’t answer our query.

Tom sent me this:

Free your ‘180′, John Kerry!
You said you’d release it, when queried…
We will never forget!
Your word is your debt!
Forever, you can’t keep it buried!

and the one and only Trike gave us this:

Stack the wood ever higher
and keep the heat without tire
for such must be his lot
until through time he gets to rot
that wannabe-hasbeen Squire

Got a poem in ya? Send it here and I'll link you! Yes, feel free to join in the fun... and... if you are a blogger, join us in spreading the word every Tuesday, the more the merrier!!

Yes. No. Maybe.

Yup. It's Tuesday again. And you know what that means. It means today is the day we remind The Great Pretender of his January 30, 2005 promise to sign his 180.

Oh, yes, I'm the great pretender... Just laughing and gay like a clown... I seem to be what I'm not, you see...

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

So! ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN DAYS have passed and still, no 180. But...

Oh yes... I'm the great pretender... Pretending that I'm doing well... My need is such... I pretend too much...

From today's Boston Globe:

During an interview yesterday with Globe editorial writers and columnists, the former Democratic presidential nominee was asked if had signed Form SF 180, authorizing the Department of Defense to grant access to all his military records.

"I have signed it," Kerry said.

Yeah. Right. Sure you did John. Sure you did.

Oh-oh, yes I’m the great pretender... Adrift in a world of my own... I've played the game... But to my real shame...

"I have signed it," Kerry said. Then, he added that his staff was "still going through it" and "very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

Going through it? Going through it for what? Come on John, who do you think you're kidding?

Too real is this feeling of make-believe...

After the interview, Kerry’s communications director, David Wade, was asked to clarify when Kerry signed SF 180 and when public access would be granted. Kerry drifted over to join the conversation, immediately raising the confusion level. He did not answer the question of when he signed the form or when the entire record will be made public.

Several e-mails later, Wade conveyed the following information: On Friday, May 20, Kerry obtained a copy of Form 180 and signed it. "The next step is to send it to the Navy, which will happen in the next few days. The Navy will then send out the records," e-mailed Wade. Kerry first said he would sign Form 180 when pressed by Tim Russert during a Jan. 30 appearance on "Meet the Press."

So, today I sent yet another email to the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar reminding him of his promise to America.

My vow stands. I will write that low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar every Tuesday for the rest of his lying scum sucking piece of shit life.

I will send the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar an email with a link to the form every Tuesday for the rest of his lying scum sucking piece of shit life.

Oh yes... I'm the great pretender...

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

So! ONE HUNDRED DAYS have passed and still, no 180.

Eighty-Six days and still counting...

Yup. It's Tuesday again. and you know what that means:

On January 30, 2005, The Great Pretender once again promised to sign his 180, this time on NBC News’ Meet the Press.

MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?

SEN. KERRY: Yes, I will.

John F. Kerry, we know who you are, we know what you are, we know where you got your game plan.

It is believed by many that during the summer of 1942, Lyndon B. Johnson perpetuated a fraud against the United States of America to obtain a Silver Star he did not deserve and that he did so to further his political career. There exists personal statements of those who were present claiming the fraud and there is factual evidence, including documentation to back up the claims of fraud.

The story of Lyndon B. Johnson and the Heckling Hare gives rise to the question, what did John F. Kerry know and when did he know it? The details of Johnson's fraud read like a script of Kerry's actions in Vietnam. Unlike Kerry, Johnson was never forced to address the discrepancies in the story of the Operation Tow-9. Kerry, in the face of a flurry of accusations of fraud, has not addressed the discrepancies either and has instead attacked the messenger, making an issue of not only the honesty and integrity of his accusers, but their motives as well.

Yes, we know what you did.

We know. And so, it is no surprise to those of us who know you that eighty-six days have passed and still, no 180.

My prediction stands: John Kerry will never sign the 180, never! Why? Because he is a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar.

That's right, John F. Kerry is a low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar, as evidenced by this video, provided to me by my new friend Sal. Great job on the video Sal, keep up the good work!

Today I sent yet another email to the low-life scum sucking piece of shit liar reminding him of his promise to America.

Kerry had a Plan?

Once again, the rumor surfaces. Does anyone besides John Kerry remember Kerry's Plan? I don't, because I never heard it. Of course, it could be because I never did get my secret agent decoder ring, they were supposed to ship from Cambodia just in time for Christmas but alas, mine never arrived.

"I think my security proposals for the country were smack on, dead on. 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." - John Kerry

Reflecting on the presidential campaign, Kerry said he had proposed "a far more effective way to make America safer."

Jeepers, my memory fails me. Did The Great Pretender have a plan? What exactly was that plan anyway? Was it the plan where he first voted for the war and then voted not to fund it? Was it the plan to cut military spending after we upped the number of troops by 40,000? The Great Pretender had a plan to make us safer? I missed that plan too? Oh wait, was that part of his plan to turn over our military and our safety to the consortium of dictators known as the United Nations?

"Americans accepted that I could be the commander in chief. What they were unwilling to do was shift commanders in midstream." - John Kerry

Huh? Which Americans were those and which alternative universe do they live in? This might be funny, were it not so pathetic. I seem to recall the numbers reflected overwhelming support for George W. Bush as Commander in Chief. I seem to recall that America as a whole rejected the notion of The Great Pretender as Commander in Chief.

Will this man ever drop his delusions of grandeur?

The truth is that America accepted the fact that John Kerry is a liar and hypocrite who used the reputation of our Vietnam Veterans as stepping stones to further his political ambitions. America accepted the fact that John Kerry is not fit to be dogcatcher, but is perhaps perfectly suited to play second fiddle to the killer senator from Massachusetts.

Sign the 180 Johnny boy. Sign the 180.

(Thanks Warren, for the quotes.)

Clueless in Boston

Contributed by Alan Peters:

"The pundits have never liked me. Is it the way I look? The way I sound?" -John Kerry in first post-election interview with Newsweek.

How about the way you think? The way you act? The way you acted in the past? How about being an onion skin away from formally being a traitor? (Maybe officially were without Carter's pardon). How about the lies you tell?

Looking like "Lurch" certainly doesn't help.

Swift Justice!

Bold John sailed forth in his faux scow,
Till the Swiftees fired across his bow;
And legions of irate attorneys,
Could not defend Cambodian journeys,
Nor stories of his fabled hat,
So voters sensed they smelled a rat.
And while the networks denied them prime,
The Swiftees surely got their time.

While John screamed it was all a smear,
O’Neill came across sincere,
And forced Big John to duck the press,
To run, to hide from his specious mess.
But relentless those old Swiftee guys,
They bit, hung on, exposed his lies.
These brave old warriors once again
Stood for their country, for their kin.

They made us all look one more time
At the traitor who’d charged them with crime,
And gave false witness to their deeds
For nothing more than political needs.
It’s a smear proclaimed the New York Times
Those liars all committed crimes.
Chris Matthews raged, foamed at the mouth,
Still the turncoat’s campaign headed south.

So the Swiftboat Veterans’ charges stuck
And made poor John a sitting duck.
He had no answers, no glib replies,
To cover up his treasonous lies;
That made us think, our minds aware,
The Swiftees had some truth in there;
What if he’d faked his combat valor,
Were all those medals tinged with pallor?

Dan Rather would not pay them heed,
But still the Swiftees made John bleed.
The mainstream pundits called them liars;
But no lefty slant could staunch these fires.
The blazes that these Swiftees set
Were burning John Boy’s ass you bet;
And those Swiftboat fires just burned away
Till they fried John’s ass on election day.

Now all you heroes on that Wall
Take solace seeing Kerry fall.
This scheming pol who stained your name
Has been denied his claim to fame.
The Swiftees stood and did their best,
Denied the traitor his life’s quest.
You can rest in peace our honored kin
Your honor restored by honorable men.

Nope... No Terrorists Here II

Back in September, it was noted here how incredibly ignorant The Great Pretender is concerning the terrorists who threaten our safety and our way of life.

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

You couldn't be more wrong John Kerry. Deroy Murdock at the NRO reminds us yet again that anyone stupid enough to believe that Saddam Hussein had no ties to terrorists or to al Qaeda in particular needs to visit Hussien and Terror on the internet. The website is adapted from a speech by Deroy Murdock on September 22 at Stanford University's Hoover Institution.

Hussien and Terror has undeniable proof that Saddam Hussein supported terrorists, providing them with, yes, safe haven, cash, diplomatic assistance, training, and even medical care.

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

You won't be surprised to see copies of checks given to the families of Palestinian homicide bombers in Israel, as well as pictures of the terrorists and their victims.

But you may be surprised to read the words of former Italian prime minister Bettino Craxi explaining that terrorist Abu Abbas — ring leader of the October 1985 Achille Lauro cruise-ship hijacking — was freed from Italian custody because he traveled on an Iraqi diplomatic passport.

"Abu Abbas was the holder of an Iraqi diplomatic passport…The plane was on an official mission, considered covered by diplomatic immunity and extra-territorial status in the air and on the ground." Bettino Craxi, Italy’s prime minister, October 14, 1985

After escaping Italian police in October 1985 following the Achille Lauro hijacking (thanks to his Iraqi diplomatic passport), Abu Abbas finally ended up in Baghdad in 1994, where he lived comfortably as one of Saddam Hussein’s guests. U.S. soldiers caught Abbas in Iraq in April 2003. This time, he did not get away. He died last March 9, in American custody, reportedly of natural causes.

But... but... but...

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Visit Hussien and Terror and read about the May 7, 2003 decision by Clinton-appointed U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. to award the families of two September 11 victims $104 million in damages after their attorney proved that Saddam Hussein's government provided "material support" to al Qaeda in the September 11 massacre.

"Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion. Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

"Iraq was not even close to the center of the War on Terror before the president invaded it." John F. Kerry, Presidential Debate, September 30, 2004

Oh yes, John Kerry. You are wrong, very wrong, as is The Junior Achiever and Senator Killer.

"There is no connection between Saddam Hussein and the attacks of September 11th — period." John Edwards, Vice Presidential Debate, October 5, 2004

"Iraq was not a breeding ground for terrorism. Our invasion has made it one." Senator Ted Kennedy, October 16, 2003

"I never believed in the link between Saddam Hussein, Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda and Islamist terrorism." former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, October 21, 2003

"The evidence now shows clearly that Saddam did not want to work with Osama bin Laden at all." Al Gore, August 2003

Today, John Kerry, you and the entire Democratic Party combine to be the number one threat to America.

Arafat's Only Hope

World Net Daily reports that Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat sits in the pile of rubble that used to be his Ramallah compound, hoping for a Kerry presidency.

It is no surprise that Arafat would prefer that Bush lose this election, after all, President Bush has backed Ariel Sharon's policies, including the isolation of Arafat due to his involvement in terrorism.

It is easy to understand why both terrorists and Europeans support Kerry when you consider Kerry's intention to coordinate American foreign policy with the EU. These countries support Arafat and they are certainly hostile to Israel.

And then, there is Kerry's appointment of Martin Indyk as an adviser. Indyk, who, as the WND puts it, "was a driving force behind Clinton's assessment of Arafat as a statesman and urged Clinton to accept Arafat as the legitimate ruler of the Palestinians." WND also points out that, "under Indyk's advisory, Arafat visited the White House during the Clinton administration 24 times, more than any other world leader during those eight years."

Will Arafat's hopes and dreams come true? Considering Kerry's fixation on the United Nations as the arbiter of international legitimacy and considering how dangerous the ramifications of his foreign policy would be for Israel, we can only hope not.

Why Won't Kerry Disclose Navy Discharge?

Thomas H. Lipscomb believes it is for a very good reason. Mr. Lipscomb has written an excellent article about The Great Pretender's Military Records, citing an official Navy document on Senator Kerry's campaign Web site listed as Mr. Kerry's "Honorable Discharge from the Reserves," and he makes some valid points and conclusions, some of which are excerpted here:

The document is a form cover letter in the name of the Carter administration's secretary of the Navy, W. Graham Claytor. It describes Mr. Kerry's discharge as being subsequent to the review of "a board of officers." This in it self is unusual. There is nothing about an ordinary honorable discharge action in the Navy that requires a review by a board of officers.

According to the secretary of the Navy's document, the "authority of reference" this board was using in considering Mr. Kerry's record was "Title 10, U.S. Code Section 1162 and 1163. "This section refers to the grounds for involuntary separation from the service. What was being reviewed, then, was Mr. Kerry's involuntary separation from the service. And it couldn't have been an honorable discharge, or there would have been no point in any review at all. The review was likely held to improve Mr. Kerry's status of discharge from a less than honorable discharge to an honorable discharge.

Mr. Lipscomb reminds us of Kerry's meeting with the enemy in 1970 and his participation in organizing a a demonstration in July of 1971.

For example, while America was still at war, Mr. Kerry had met with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong delegation to the Paris Peace talks in May 1970 and then held a demonstration in July 1971 in Washington to try to get Congress to accept the enemy's seven point peace proposal without a single change.

And Mr. Lipscomb speaks of Eugene Debs. How many Americans know who Eugene Debs is?

Woodrow Wilson threw Eugene Debs, a former presidential candidate, in prison just for demonstrating for peace negotiations with Germany during World War I. No court overturned his imprisonment.

Eugene Debs. Former presidential candidate. Jailed. For demonstrating. Debs demonstrated. Kerry did too. Debs didn't meet with the enemy. Kerry did.

The "board of officers" review reported in the Claytor document is even more extraordinary because it came about "by direction of the President." No normal honorable discharge requires the direction of the president. The president at that time was James Carter. This adds another twist to the story of Mr. Kerry's hidden military records.

Mr. Carter's first act as president was a general amnesty for draft dodgers and other war protesters. Less than an hour after his inauguration on January 21, 1977, while still in the Capitol building, Mr. Carter signed Executive Order 4483 empowering it. By the time it became a directive from the Defense Department in March 1977 it had been expanded to include other offenders who may have had general, bad conduct, dishonorable discharges, and any other discharge or sentence with negative effect on military records. In those cases the directive outlined a procedure for appeal on a case by case basis before a board of officers. A satisfactory appeal would result in an improvement of discharge status or an honorable discharge.

Jimmy Carter. One of the worst presidents this nation ever had to suffer under.

There is one odd coincidence that gives some weight to the possibility that Mr. Kerry was dishonorably discharged. Mr. Kerry has claimed that he lost his medal certificates and that is why he asked that they be reissued. But when a dishonorable discharge is issued, all pay benefits, and allowances, and all medals and honors are revoked as well. And five months after Mr. Kerry joined the U.S. Senate in 1985, on one single day, June 4, all of Mr. Kerry's medals were reissued.

Mr. Lipscomb appears to have the answers to Kerry's refusal to release his records.

Don't you know...

In Boston, nearly everyone has heard the words "Don't you know who I am?" Those words have been used by The Great Pretender to bully his way through life in nearly every instance imaginable.

And now... as is to be expected... those words are being used by Kerry and his supporters to bully his way into the White House.

On DaySide with Linda Vester today on Fox News, Kerry Campaign spokesman Chad Clanton was discussing Sinclair Broadcasting Group plans to air "Stolen Honor," the documentary about Kerry's Vietnam war service.

Clanton stated: "They [Sinclair] better hope that we're not elected."

Vester immediately asked if that was intended as a threat to Sinclair that a Kerry administration would not renew their broadcast licenses.

Clanton tried to back off, but the threat was unmistakable.

Indeed. We know exactly who you are John Kerry and what you are as well.

Thanks Al for the tip...

Junior Achiever Lies Too

The Junior Achiever is as consistent as The Great Pretender when it comes to lying to the American public...

"I believe we can build a better life for our families, families like the family I grew up with, and communities like Seneca and Robbins, North Carolina. But it has to be based on the values of hard work and responsibility, not accounting tricks and corporate greed." -- John Edwards, Presidential Candidates Debate, Columbia, SC, 5/3/03

Talking about taxes during the Vice Presidential Debate: "To pay for the things that we believe need to be done -- We also want to close some corporate loopholes. -- John Edwards, Vice Presidential Debate, 10/05/04

But... but.... but....

"Edwards, a trial lawyer, set up a professional corporation in 1995, in which he was the sole employee and shareholder. Edwards then paid himself a salary of $ 600,000 and $ 540,000 in 1996 and 1997, according to a personal disclosure statement he was required to file with the secretary of the Senate.

At the same time he collected $5 million each year in dividends from his corporation.

Edwards was required to pay Medicare taxes on his $600,000 salary, but under this arrangement he was not required to pay Medicare taxes on his $5 million in corporate dividends.” (The [Raleigh] News & Observer, 10/14/98)

Jeepers. Edwards deliberately and intentionally defrauded the government and the health care system to avoid paying taxes on $10 million dollars. Using accounting tricks and corporate loopholes.

The Number One Threat to America

In response to the outrage and disgust at The Great Pretender's comparison of terrorism to prostitution, Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer said:

"The whole article is about how John Kerry recognizes that the war on terror requires a multipronged approach. It's not just the military aspect, but you need diplomacy to be able to enlist your allies. The Bush people have never understood that. John Kerry has always said that terrorism is the No. 1 threat to the U.S."

Really? Are you sure about that Phil? How about a little quote from the first debate:

Lehrer: New question, two minutes, Senator Kerry.

If you are elected president, what will you take to that office thinking is the single most serious threat to the national security to the United States?

Kerry: Nuclear proliferation. Nuclear proliferation. There's some 600-plus tons of unsecured material still in the former Soviet Union and Russia.

It's okay Phil, we understand. Its really hard to tell what The Great Pretender thinks on any given day, at any given time. And really, we don't need John Kerry to tell us what the number one threat to America is. We already know.

The number one threat to America is John Kerry.

Posted by LindaSoG at 08:54 PM

Nuisance???

According to Drudge, The Great Pretender told the New York Times:

"We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance..."

Nuisance? When were terrorists just a "nuisance?" When they blew up the USS Cole? When they murdered 240 Marines in Lebanon? When they blew up the WTC the first time?

Send the paramedics. My head just exploded.

WAIT.... I am afraid its worse than I thought.

Kerry considers terrorism to be equal to crime of prostitution. The full quote:

We have to get back to the place we were, where terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance," Kerry said. "As a former law-enforcement person, I know we're never going to end prostitution. We're never going to end illegal gambling. But we're going to reduce it, organized crime, to a level where it isn't on the rise. It isn't threatening people's lives every day, and fundamentally, it's something that you continue to fight, but it's not threatening the fabric of your life." -- John Kerry

Pardon me for saying so, but if this man is elected, we are more than screwed, we are fucked.

Posted by LindaSoG at 05:08 PM

I Agree With John Kerry

"No seriously — imagine that you struck up a conversation with a relatively informed person who said, "I agree with John Kerry about the war on terror." What, exactly do you think that person would mean?

Would he be trying to communicate that we should stay the course? That we blundered going to war in the first place? That we were right to go to war but handled it wrong since we were there? That it was a good cause? A grand diversion? We should bug out? Finish the job? Or simply that he doesn't know anything about the war except that George Bush is always wrong?" -- From Jonah Goldberg

Oooh, oooh...I'm guessing it's "he doesn't know anything about the war except that George Bush is always wrong"!

In all seriousness, it's amazing to me that we're in a war on terrorism and we have a man running for President who can't coherently explain his own position on the war, whose supporters can't explain it, and whose views have radically shifted time and time again.

It takes a lot of gall to take a joke like John Kerry and try to pretend he's credible on national security, but remember that we're talking about a party that calls ex-KKK member Robert Byrd the "Conscience of the Senate" and Bill Clinton, "The First Black President". So I guess "gall" isn't a problem...

King Abdullah of Jordan said just yesterday or the day before you can't hold elections in Iraq with the chaos that's going on today. -- John Kerry, Presidential Debate, 10/08/04

Okay. So. That is the opinion of the King. Now. If only someone could tell me what a king knows about elections.

Kerry Lied... again

I have to agree with The Great Pretender that if nothing else, he certainly is consistent.

There is no denying the fact that the Great Pretender consistently ignores the truth and consistently lies to America and the rest of world. Earlier lies are detailed here and here.

The Great Pretender consistently lies about Gen. Eric Shinseki, claiming the General was fired because he said the occupation of Iraq would take 10 years and 500,000 troops.

The truth is that General Shinseki served out his full, four-year term as Army CoS and Rummy announced his replacement prior to his "500,000" testimony, and while Rummy may not have been very fond of the General at the time, the truth is that Gen. Shinseki was set to retire before Iraq became an issue.

Kerry on Allies

Oh yes... I'm the Great Pretender... pretending that I'm doing well...

"I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ...

"I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." ... "I have a plan." -- John Kerry, Second Presidential Debate, St. Louis, MO, 10/8/04

I play the game but to my real shame....

Although he continued to tout it last nite, The Great Pretender admits that his great Iraq Plan is no-go, having already conceded before the debate that he probably will not be able to convince France and Germany to contribute troops to Iraq if he is elected president.

The Massachusetts senator has made broadening the coalition trying to stabilize Iraq a centerpiece of his campaign, but at a town hall meeting yesterday, he said he knows other countries won’t trade their soldiers’ lives for those of U.S. troops.

"Does that mean allies are going to trade their young for our young in body bags? I know they are not. I know that," he said.

Oh yes... I'm The Great Pretender... just laughing and gay like a clown...

Asked about that statement later, Mr. Kerry said, "When I was referring to that, I was really talking about Germany and France and some of the countries that had been most restrained."

"Other countries are obviously more willing to accept responsibilities," he added, as he took questions from reporters in a school yard in Tipton, Iowa.

And those other countries are..... who? More of those secret supporters?

We know this, one of those countries is certainly not Poland, who would probably leave the coalition if Kerry is elected.

"It is sad that a senator with 20 years of experience underestimates Polish sacrifice, this is sad," Mr. Kwasniewski said in an interview with Poland’s TVN television, saying it was "immoral" to ignore the contributions of Poland, Ukraine, Bulgaria and others.

Yup.

Oh yes... too real is this feeling of make believe...

Kerry on Intelligence

Oh yes... I'm The Great Pretender... Just laughing and gay like a clown

"Because the most important weapon in doing that is intelligence. You got to have the best intelligence in the world, and in order to have the best intelligence in the world, to know who the terrorists are, and where they are, and what they're plotting, you've got to have the best cooperation you've ever had in the world." -- John Kerry, Second Presidential Debate, St. Louis, MO, 10/8/04

I seem to be what I'm not you see...

While on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Kerry missed 76% of the public hearings. During Kerry's eight years of service on the Senate's Select Committee on Intelligence, there were 49 open, public hearings. Of these 49, John Kerry attended just 11 (22.4 percent).

In 1994, after the first terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, Kerry proposed an amendment to cut the intelligence budget by $6 Billion across the board.

Kerry on the Patriot Act

Oh yes... I'm The Great Pretender... Pretending I'm doing well...

"Now, the three things they try to say I’ve changed position on are the Patriot Act. I haven’t. I support it." -- John Kerry, Second Presidential Debate, St. Louis, MO, 10/8/04

My need is such I pretend too much... I'm lying but no one can tell...

"We are a nation of laws and liberties, not of a knock in the night. So it is time to end the era of John Ashcroft. That starts with replacing the Patriot Act with a new law that protects our people and our liberties at the same time. I’ve been a District Attorney and I know that what law enforcement needs are real tools not restrictions on American’s basic rights." -- John Kerry, Remarks At Iowa State University, 12/1/03

"If you are sensitive to and care about civil liberties, you can make provisions to guarantee that there is not this blind spot in the American justice system that there is today under the Patriot Act." -- John Kerry As Quoted On NPR’s 'Morning Edition', 8/18/03

Too real is this feeling of... make believe...

Posted by LindaSoG at 07:31 AM

Kerry on Iraq

Oh yes... I'm The Great Pretender... Adrift in a world of my own...

"I've never changed my mind about Iraq. I did believe Saddam Hussein was a threat. I always believed he was a threat – believed it in 1998, when Clinton was president. I wanted to give Clinton the power to use force if necessary." -- John Kerry, Second Presidential Debate, St. Louis, MO, 10/8/04

I play the game... but to my real shame...

October 2002: Kerry Voted For Use Of Force Resolution Against Iraq.

April 2003: Kerry promised not to attack President Bush when the war began but just weeks later, with troops just miles from Baghdad, Kerry broke his pledge and called or a "Regime Change in the United States."

May 2003: In first democrat debate, Kerry strongly supported the President’s action in Iraq.

September 2003: Kerry said voting against the The $87 Billion supplemental would be "irresponsible."

October 2003: Kerry voted against the $87 Billion supplemental supporting our troops.

January 2004: After voting for war and trailing candidate Howard Dean in the democrat primaries, Kerry says he is an "Anti-War Candidate."

August 2004: In response to the President’s question about how he would have voted if he knew then what he knows now, Kerry confirmed
that he would still have voted for the "Use Of Force Resolution."

September 2004: Kerry: Iraq is "The wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time."

September 2004: Kerry says there were no circumstances under which we should have gone to war, but he was still right to vote for it. Kerry said that the removal of Saddam Hussein has left America "less secure."

and on whether the Iraq War was worth it, Kerry said: "It depends on the outcome."

I seem to be what I'm not you see...

Qualifications Clarified

Roamin notes:

Since Senator Kerry's Campaign and Convention have largely based his qualifications for the Presidency on his now crumbling War hero status, I thought we should redirect the focus to his other accomplishments in life (other than marrying into money).

The following is a list of John Kerry's accomplishments as Mike Dukakis's Lt. Governor and as Teddy Kennedy's junior Senator!

Cheaters Never Prosper

The INDC Journal is reporting that John Kerry brought prohibited material into last Thursday's Presidential Debate and they've got video to prove it.

John Kerry Violated Debate Rules

As indicated by the linked video (fullscreen mode is very compelling), John Kerry clearly removes what look like note cards or papers from his right jacket pocket, and then places them on the podium at the beginning of the debate.

1. A candidate's unilateral use of prepared notes could provide a distinct advantage in the debate, hence their mutual prohibition.

2. While the nature of the object is possibly disputable based on the angle of the video, the rules clearly state that "[n]o ... tangible things may be brought into the debate by either candidate." That includes notes, Mont Blanc pens, magic hats, you name it.

Get over there and check it out. If this is true...

Color Coded Kerry

There is a new theory circulating America.

Could it be that The Great Pretender has discovered a way to help America know what the daily position is that he will take on the issues?

Well now, that would be an excellent idea! No more guessing if he is for or against anything. We have already seen the orange Kerry. But just think, depending on the opinion of the day, we would see a red Kerry, a green Kerry, or even a purple Kerry.

On the days when Kerry is for gay marriage, he could be pink. On days when he is Irish, maybe he could be plaid, as against his Jewish days, when he would be blue. The possibilities are endless.

Of course, if it were true, we would certainly expect to see lot of yellow Kerry.

His heart, of course, would remain same color - black.

It is an idea whose time has come. Make it so!

What time was it in France?

Gosh I love the internet. The Communist News Network and the New York Slimes both say The Great Pretender was at a Huntington, West Virginia rally for veterans when he said:

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

Okay. So. The Great Pretender now makes the claim that a portrayal of him as a flip flopper "Doesn't reflect the truth." On ABC's Good Morning America, he tries to explain...

"It just was a very inarticulate way of saying something, and I had one of those inarticulate moments late in the evening when I was dead tired in the primaries, and I didn't say something very clearly." -- John Kerry

Late in the evening? In France maybe. But the truth is, here in America, it was noon.

Yup.

According to ABC Note, the festivities were scheduled for High Noon. Doors opened at 11:00 am.

Glad you cleared that up for us John.

So? Let's do the time warp again...

Any Way The Wind Blows

As November 2, 2004 looms ever closer, The Great Pretender continues to be on everyone's side on every issue. It's difficult to keep up with the nuances, and I was glad to find this collection put together by John Hawkins at RightWingNews.

Flip

"Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein and those who believe today that we are not safer with his capture don't have the judgment to be president or the credibility to be elected president." -- John Kerry 12/20/03

Flop

"...(T)he satisfaction we take in (Saddam's) downfall does not hide this fact: We have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure." -- John Kerry, 9/20/04

Reality Check

"Well, what can we say of Senator Kerry? He was for the war and then he was against the war. He was for it, but he wouldn't fund it. Then he'd fund it, but he wasn't for it. He was for the Patriot Act until he was against the Patriot Act. Or was he against it until he was for it? I forget. He probably does, too. This is a candidate who has to Google his own name to find out where he stands." -- George Pataki

Flip

"But I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job." -- John Kerry on the $87 billion dollars spent to rebuild Iraq and support our troops in Iraq, 9/14/03

Flop

"I'm proud to say that John (Edwards) joined me in voting against that $87 billion..." -- John Kerry, 7/12/04

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." -- John Kerry, 3/19/04

Reality Check

"My point about John Kerry being inconsistent is best described in his own words, not mine. I quote John Kerry, "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it." Maybe this explains John Edwards' need for two Americas. One is where John Kerry can vote for something and another where he can vote against exactly the same thing." -- Rudy Giuliani

Flip

"Iraq may not be the war on terror itself, but it is critical to the outcome of the war on terror, and therefore any advance in Iraq is an advance forward in that and I disagree with the Governor [Howard Dean]." -- John Kerry, 12/15/03

Flop

"...(W)e must have a great honest national debate on Iraq. The President claims it is the centerpiece of his war on terror. In fact, Iraq was a profound diversion from that war and the battle against our greatest enemy, Osama bin Laden and the terrorists." -- John Kerry 9/20/04

Reality Check

"I was just back in my office banging my head on the jukebox. This is my candidate, and...I don't know what he's talking about." -- Don Imus, 9/16/04, after an interview with John Kerry that extensively covered his "position" on the war

Flip

"If you don't believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me." -- John Kerry, USA Today on 2/13/03

Flop

"If you think I would have gone to war the way George Bush did, don't vote for me." -- John Kerry, Jan 2004

Reality Check

"When it was popular to be a Massachusetts liberal, his voting record was that. When it was popular to be for the Iraq war, he was for it. Now it's popular to be against it, and he's against it." -- Jay Carson, a Dean campaign spokesman

Flip

"I would disagree with John McCain that it’s the actual weapons of mass destruction he may use against us, it’s what he may do in another invasion of Kuwait or in a miscalculation about the Kurds or a miscalculation about Iran or particularly Israel. Those are the things that - that I think present the greatest danger. He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat." -- John Kerry, "Face The Nation", 9/15/02

"It would be naive to the point of grave danger not to believe that, left to his own devices, Saddam Hussein will provoke, misjudge, or stumble into a future, more dangerous confrontation with the civilized world....He has supported and harbored terrorist groups, particularly radical Palestinian groups such as Abu Nidal, and he has given money to families of suicide murderers in Israel. ...We should not go to war because these things are in his past, but we should be prepared to go to war because of what they tell us about the future." -- John Kerry 10/9/02

Flop

"Yet today, President Bush tells us that he would do everything all over again, the same way. How can he possibly be serious? Is he really saying that if we knew there were no imminent threat, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to Al Qaeda, the United States should have invaded Iraq? My answer is no - because a Commander-in-Chief's first responsibility is to make a wise and responsible decision to keep America safe." -- John Kerry, 9/20/04

Reality Check

"Even in this post-9/11 period, Senator Kerry doesn’t appear to understand how the world has changed. He talks about leading a "more sensitive war on terror," as though al-Qaida will be impressed with our softer side. He declared at the Democratic Convention that he will forcefully defend America after we have been attacked. My fellow Americans, we have already been attacked, and faced with an enemy who seeks the deadliest of weapons to use against us, we cannot wait for the next attack. We must do everything we can to prevent it and that includes the use of military force." -- Dick Cheney

Flip

"I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq - Saddam Hussein is a renegade and outlaw who turned his back on the tough conditions of his surrender put in place by the United Nations in 1991." -- John Kerry, 7/29/02

Flop

"It's the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." -- John Kerry, 9/06/04

Reality Check

"Senator Kerry says, "America should go to war not when it wants to go to war but when it has to go to war." Well, Senator, the firefighters and cops who ran into those burning towers and died on September 11th didn't want to go to war. They were heroes in a war they didn't even know existed. America did not choose this war. But we have a president who chooses to win it." -- George Pataki

Flip

"George, I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry, Democratic Debate, 5/3/03

Flop

"Are you one of the anti-war candidates?" -- MSNBC’S Chris Matthews, 1/6/04

"I am, yes, in the sense that I don't believe the president took to us war as he should have, yes. Absolutely. Do I think this president violated his promises to America? Yes, I do, Chris. Was there a way to hold Saddam Hussein accountable? You bet there was and we should have done it right." -- John Kerry, 1/6/04

Reality Check

"(John Kerry) even, at one point, declared himself as an anti-war candidate. And now he says he's pro-war candidate. At this rate, with 64 days left, he still has time to change his position four or five more times." -- Rudy Giuliani

Flip

"I think the judgment of a nominee who doesn't understand that having Saddam Hussein captured will make it extraordinarily difficult to be able to beat an incumbent wartime president who captured Saddam Hussein. And let me tell you why, Tim. Saddam Hussein took us to war once before. In that war, young Americans were killed. He went to war in order to take over the oil fields. It wasn't just an invasion of Kuwait. He was heading for the oil fields of Saudi Arabia. And that would have had a profound effect on the security of the United States. This is a man who has used weapons of mass destruction, unlike other people on this Earth today, not only against other people but against his own people. This is a man who tried to assassinate a former president of the United States, a man who lobbed 36 missiles into Israel in order to destabilize the Middle East, a man who is so capable of miscalculation that he even brought this war on himself. This is a man who, if he was left uncaptured, would have continued to be able to organize the Ba'athists. He would have continued to terrorize the people, just in their minds, because of 30 years of terror in Iraq." -- John Kerry on NBC's "Meet The Press, 1/11/04

Flop

"The only legitimate reason (to go to war was) the weapons of mass destruction question. But after you built the international coalition, exhausted the [U.N.] inspections and you have no other choice." -- John Kerry, 9/07/04

Reality Check

"The years of keeping Saddam in a box were coming to a close. The international consensus that he be kept isolated and unarmed had eroded to the point that many critics of military action had decided the time had come again to do business with Saddam, despite his near daily attacks on our pilots, and his refusal, until his last day in power, to allow the unrestricted inspection of his arsenal. Our choice wasn't between a benign status quo and the bloodshed of war. It was between war and a graver threat. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Not our critics abroad. Not our political opponents. And certainly not a disingenuous film maker who would have us believe that Saddam's Iraq was an oasis of peace when in fact it was a place of indescribable cruelty, torture chambers, mass graves and prisons that destroyed the lives of the small children held inside their walls." -- John McCain

Conclusion

The war on terrorism is serious business, not some petty political game. While the war is in progress, the lives of our troops, 27 million Iraqis, and countless Americans here at home depend on the decisions made by our Commander-In-Chief.

Given that, do we really want a President who'll radically alter his position on something as important as the war in Iraq based on nothing more than which way the prevailing political winds are blowing? Literally millions of lives, American and Iraqi, may be saved or lost by decisions that are going to be made over the next four years in the White House. So think hard about this, do you really think someone as feckless as John Kerry can be trusted with that sort of responsibility? Obviously, the answer is no...

Nope... No Terrorists Here

The Great Pretender once again proves his ignorance of foreign affairs, the origins and the impact of terrorism and of course, the history of Iraq. It makes me wonder where The Great Pretender was during the years 1980 through March 2003.

"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Iraq and terrorism go back decades. Baghdad trained Palestine Liberation Front members in small arms and explosives. Saddam used the Arab Liberation Front to funnel money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers in order to prolong the Intifada. And it's no secret that Saddam's own intelligence service was involved in dozens of attacks or attempted assassinations in the 1990s.

"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Iraq was a haven for palestinian international terrorist Abu Abbas, who was captured in Baghdad in April of 2003. Palestinian terrorists under Abbas' command hijacked the Achille Lauro in October 1985. During the hijacking, Leon Klinghoffer -- a 69-year-old wheelchair-bound American Jew who was with his wife of 36 years on the cruise -- was killed and dumped into the sea. "He created troubles. He was handicapped but he was inciting and provoking the other passengers. So, the decision was made to kill him," Abbas told the Boston Globe in 1998.

Abu Abbas had been living in Baghdad since 1994, under the protection of Saddam Hussein.

"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Iraq was a haven for palestinian international terrorist Abu Nidal, and The Abu Nidal Organization ("ANO"), in fact, Saddam participated in forming the ANO, sheltered the ANO, and sponsored ANO. The ANO is responsible for terrorist attacks in 20 different countries, which killed more than 300 people, as well as wounding hundreds more. In the mid-1980s, the group was seen as the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization. Experts say that Abu Nidal worked with Iraqi intelligence while representing Fatah in Baghdad. Although Saddam Hussein expelled Abu Nidal and the ANO in an attempt to win American military support for Iraq’s 1980s war with Iran, once the war ended, Iraq resumed its support of Abu Nidal. The ANO is now believed to be based in Iraq, with cells in Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon.

"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Iraq was a haven for the radical Kurdish Islamic terrorist group Ansar al-Islam. This terrorist group has ties with both the Taliban and with al-Qaeda. It is the most radical group operating in the Iraqi Kurdistan region. Ansar al-Islam activities include: razing of beauty salons, burning a school for girls, and the murder of women for refusing to wear the burqa. It has seized a Taliban-style enclave of 4,000 civilians and several villages near the Iranian border. It is also responsible for ambushing and killing of 42 Kurdish soldiers. Ansar al-Islam is in a state of war with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK). It was responsible for the assassination in 2001 of a senior official of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), Franso Hariri, and for the attempted killing of Burhan Salih, head of the PUK-led Iraqi Kurdistan regional government.

"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Iraq was a haven for the deadly terrorist network headed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, an associate and collaborator of Usama bin Laden and his al-Qaida lieutenants. In 2002, Zarqawi was in Baghdad for medical treatment, staying in the capital of Iraq for two months. Also in 2002, an al-Qaida associate bragged that the situation in Iraq was "good," that Baghdad could be transited quickly. Also in 2002, two suspected al-Qaida operatives were arrested crossing from Iraq into Saudi Arabia. They were linked to Zarqawi's Baghdad cell and one of them received training in Afghanistan on how to use cyanide.

Zarqawi's terrorism is not confined to the Middle East. Zarqawi and his network have plotted terrorist actions against countries including France, Britain, Spain, Italy, Germany and Russia.

"Iraq is now what it was not before the war, a haven for terrorists." John F. Kerry, September 24, 2004

Jeepers. I guess The Great Pretender was out windsurfing during those intelligence briefings. Or maybe he just shredded those memos too.

How can The Great Pretender keep America safe from terrorism when he is completely ignorant of who the terrorists are, and where they are? If I know, why doesn't the man who aspires to be President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of our Military know?

More Eff'n Promises

Oh puleeze.

The Great Pretender is at it again, this time in Milwaulkee.

"I will fight a smarter, more effective war on terrorism than George Bush,"

"I will make America safe. I defended this country as a young man and I will not hesitate to defend it as president of the United States."

Really? As a young man, he committed atrocities, remember? He blew up rice silos, he shot up villages and he burned them down, and he killed farm animals and pets. Does that mean we were in peril from the goats and chickens in Vietnam? How did that make us safe?

"It's not just making big decisions - that's the requirement of being president. It's making the right decisions. And when you make the wrong decisions, standing up and saying, 'We made a mistake.'"

And just what big decisions has The Great Pretender made that we should believe him capable of making another? Sorry, but what color the bike and the matching accessories should be does not qualify as a big decision, nor does deciding which SUV to drive. And what mistake did we make? We haven't made any mistakes, after all, we haven't elected his sorry butt.

So just when is the The Great Pretender going to give us a little hint about exactly how he intends to accomplish these things? I still haven't received my secret decoder ring, although I hear they will be available in Cambodia just in time for Christmas.

Come on John. Give a us hint... just a hint... Oh never mind.

Let me tell you my plan to fight a smart, effective war on terror. It's the same plan I will use to make America safer.

I am going to vote for George W. Bush.

Whose Military?

Whose military has 709,000 regular, active duty personnel and 293,000 reserve troops?

Whose military has 8 standing army divisions and 20 air force and navy air wings with 2,000 combat aircraft?

Whose military has 4 aircraft carriers and 121 surface combat ships and 19 strategic ballistic missile submarines with 3,114 nuclear warheads on 232 missiles?

Whose military has 232 strategic bombers, 500 ICBMs with 1,950 warheads?

Whose military has all the support it needs, including bases, shipyards and other assets necessary to sustain it?

Not ours, thanks to Clinton and Gore. These are the things they eliminated during their administration.

Who voted to kill every aircraft carrier since 1988?

Who voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle and the M-1 Abrams Tank?

Who voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system, the F-15 Strike Eagle, the Block 60 F-16, the P-3 Orion upgrade, the B-1 and B-2, the FA-18 and the F117?

Who voted to kill the Patriot Anti Missile System?

Who voted to kill each and every military appropriation for the development and deployment of each and every weapons systems since 1988?

Oh yes... its the Great Pretender...

The Great Pretender, that's who.

With a record like that, it should come as no surprise that all the Democrats want to talk about is President Bush's National Guard Service and Kerry's Vietnam fantasies.

Memo Minutia

The Bush "Guard Memos" are forged, without a doubt.

Real or not, the memos have accomplished their goal and served their purpose. The media and the rest of us are lost in memo minutia, and they have become the shield that the main target is hiding behind. The Great Pretender has become invisible.

This close to the election, there are much more important things to put in the public eye. Like The Great Pretender's senate voting record and his double secret plan to save America. Voters should not be required to have a secret decoder ring from Cambodia to know how he plans to accomplish these things.

The Great Pretender needs to be interrogated on these matters. Instead, we are chasing type set experts while he gets a free ride.

Reality is he has nothing up his sleeve but his lies and there is no rabbit in his hat. America needs to see that.

The time has come to roust him from his obmutescence and get him to put his foot firmly back in his mouth where it belongs. (I stole that line)

We need to get back on track.

Electoral College: Bush - 213 | Kerry - 173

No More Mr. Nice Guy?

The Great Pretender went so far as to accuse the White House of coordinating 527-ads to attack him.

Last week, The Great Pretender described the Republican convention as “almost nothing but anger and insults.”

The Great Pretender is constantly whining about below-the-belt personal attacks, claiming a “Republican attack squad” and supposed attacks on his “patriotism.”

So now The Great Pretender has decided that he has to start playing hard ball.

Hmmm... how much lower can they go? Well... they are Democrats. Here are a few suggestions and remember, I'm just trying to help!

So. Start with an insinuation that Bush is a dictator.

4/2/03: Kerry calls for a “regime change in the United States.”

Call Bush a phony.

No More Options for Kerry

The Great Pretender, is it appears, running out of options, unless he wants to really get boring by taking his side show into reruns. Wait, it’s been a constant rerun for years!

Clinton sent in the backstabbing, Masters of Spin, but it may not save the Kerry sideshow. Too many commercials and not anything like good entertainment. A hero who isn't, and an admitted war criminal, caught in yet another lie, and delusional if he thinks his ‘dream world’ creation of Kerry, ‘The Presidential Potentate’ is going to have a long run on Broadway!

It is apparent that to a lot of Americans, All the Wannabe Kings men and all the Wannabe Kings horses this can’t put Campaign back together again.

The liberal press is being nailed for fake memos, Too many good men are standing up to the Kerry intimidation machine, and speaking facts, truths that can be substantiated to a great degree. Kerry has had to begin that painful slide to defeat, by having to admit the first Purple Heart was not earned.

When will the second and third awards be taken too? (Perhaps when the US Navy looks into the facts surrounding them as well?) The “V” on the questionable Silver Star has some very big problems also!

Obtaining medals or awards under false pretenses =Military Offense

Self-Inflected wounds to avoid Combat = Military Offense

Committing war crimes while an Officer = Military Offense

Issuing or producing false action reports = Military Offense

Giving aid to the Enemy during a time of war, (as an Officer) = TREASON

Lying before Congress = Federal Offense

Using lies and pressure to silence detection of above = Slander, libel, and considering the scope of the offenses, most likely Federal in nature as well!

[An interesting aspect to watch is will the Feds be looking at those who have helped these assorted crimes to take place? A ‘breath’ of investigation, and we will be treated to the sight of rats bailing FROM a sinking ship!]

The Kerry Dynasty is looking at being slowly and carefully picked apart under the bright light of federal investigations, war crimes trials, and blogasphere fact dumps that will leave him looking like Swiss cheese. Somewhere along the way, all those ‘helpful’ friends and financing angels are going to drift away from the bright light, and standing there, so very, very alone will be a man having to deal with reality.

There will be no more phone calls from Slick Willie, Kerry will find that line disconnected! The Clinton's have made sure Kerry goes down, setting the stage for Hillary in 2008. Well, at least Kerry knows of a good lawyer, maybe he can hire him, if Teresa is interested in throwing good money after bad.

All in all, the Kerry show is faltering on the edge of the abyss, and we are all watching with morbid curiosity, as to when he will begin that slow final trip over his made up dream past, and down into the obscurity he faces.

I am John Kerry

I was against the first Iraq war. I am against the second Iraq war, but I voted for it. Now I'm against it but I was for it. I support the UN. I'm against terrorism and against the Iraq war. But I voted for the Iraq war. So, I voted against the first war and supported the second war, wait.....

I'm against gay marriage but for gay unions. I support gays but think the San Francisco mayor is wrong. I support gay marriages. No, wait, gay unions.

I'm Catholic. Wait, I'm Jewish. My dad was Jewish. But I was raised Catholic. What am I? I don't want to confuse people.

I am for abortions, but wait, I'm Catholic, and Catholics are pro-life. But I might consider putting pro-life judges in office, but I'm not sure. I do know I voted for a pro-life judge, but I stated that it was a mistake.

I went to Vietnam. But I was against Vietnam. I testified against fellow U.S. Troops in Vietnam, threw my medals away and led others to do the same. But I am a war hero.....but against the war.

I stated I threw my medals away then I threw my ribbons away. I then revealed that I threw my ribbons away but not my medals, then lately I stated that I threw someone else's medals away and never threw anything of mine away.

I believe ribbons and medals aren't the same thing. Medals come with ribbons, so now I believe that ribbons and medals are the same thing besides the fact that ribbons are cloth and medals are metal.

I wrote a book that pictured the U.S. Flag upside-down on its cover. But now I fly and campaign in a plane with a large flag right-side up on it. But sometimes, we fly upside-down for fun.

Yasser Arafat is a hero and a statesman. The Israelis shouldn't kill Palestinian terrorists, but they should stop terrorism. Yasser Arafat is a terrorist supporter. I support Mideast peace.

I am for the common man, unlike Bush. I am against the rich. But my family is worth $300 million dollars has a jet and many SUV's. I am the common man.

I am against sending jobs overseas. My wife is a Heinz heir, which Heinz has most factories offshore. I am against rewarding companies for exporting jobs as long as it is not Heinz.

I own $1 million in Wal-Mart stock. I believe Wal-Mart is evil by driving small business owners out of town. I am a capitalist and I own part of Wal-Mart but I am a good guy for small corporate America.

I own SUV's when I talk to my followers in Detroit, Michigan, Teresa owns SUV's, I don't own any when I talk to tree hugging followers. I have a campaign jet that gets 1/3 mpg, which is great fuel efficiency.

I am against making military service an issue in presidential elections. I defended a draft dodger Clinton and stated that all serve in their own capacity whether they draft dodge or not. Did I mention, I served in Vietnam and am a hero? Are you questioning my patriotism? I served in Vietnam. My opponent didn't. I have three purple hearts! I am a hero. I am qualified to run this country since I served.

I am John Kerry

Veterans' Day by Russ Vaughn

How liberals do defy the mind
For nothing in theirs' can we find,
That willingly will look with reason
At how their man committed treason,
Skulked off to Paris this effete
To grovel at the Madame's feet,
Betraying his sworn officer’s oath
To become the turncoat we so loathe.

Our law is clear you shall not treat
With America's foes nor their cadres meet;
Give aid nor comfort to enemy forces
Nor espouse a view from hostile sources.
Without a mandate from the state
Wherefrom your right to negotiate?
Was treason, John, and is treason still
To this very day your unpaid bill.

Don’t try to hide behind your youth.
You knew the law you knew the truth.
You knew your faux negotiation
Would further tear our war-torn nation
And all for what, John, your career
So you can shameless brazen here,
And claim now that you’re fit to lead
The very nation you made bleed?

And yet before us there you stand
With medals blazing you demand
Such treachery we must ignore
Your treason that lost us our war.
But hold on, John, we veterans say,
You had your turn, now comes our day.
You thought we slept, forgot your crime?
Oh no, John boy, it’s come our time.

Some say let you apologize
But that won’t do it in our eyes.
A man astride of each position
Could we believe your true contrition?
The vindication we’ll accept
In settling up this long-held debt,
Is each of us will do his best
To deny you, John, your lifelong quest.

Listen carefully John to what we say, November 2nd is Veterans' Day.

Meanwhile... back at the meltdown

George W. Bush: "After voting for the war, but against funding it, after saying he would have voted for the war even knowing everything we know today, my opponent woke up this morning with new campaign advisers and yet another new position."

Guess Kerry decided not to listen to Clinton after all.

It's like watching a car wreck, repulsive and horrifying, yet fascinating nonetheless.

Camp Kerry Panic Attack

As panic stricken Camp Kerry scurries around in a frenzy... and their fearless leader cries out "off with their heads," we get this from the Washington Dispatch:

The states showed little change this week, as few state polls trickled in, but one came in from New Mexico that now shows Bush ahead in that state. That expands the president’s Electoral College vote lead by 5 votes in the Page 2 Politics weekly Electoral College Scoreboard to 305-233. President Bush is back on message and rolling and John Kerry has been in hiding for five straight weeks. It’s beginning to take its toll and it’s now showing up everywhere in the polls.

Here’s the state-by state breakdown.

The Bush states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. (31 states 305 Electoral College votes)

The Kerry states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia. (19 states and DC 233 Electoral College votes).

As my good friend Chrissie would say... La la la.

The Great Pretender Hits Back

Mark Steyn nails it but good today.

At any rate, less than 60 minutes after President Bush gave a sober, graceful, droll and moving address, Kerry decided to hit back. In the midnight hour, he climbed out of his political coffin, and before his thousands of aides could grab the garlic from Teresa's kitchen and start waving it at him, he found himself in front of an audience and started giving a speech. As in Vietnam, he was in no mood to take prisoners: ''I have five words for Americans,'' he thundered. ''This is your wake up call!''

Is that five words? Or is it six? Well, it's all very nuanced, according to whether you hyphenate the ''wake-up.'' Maybe he should have said, ''I have four words plus a common hyphenated expression for Americans.'' I'd suggest the rewrite to him personally, but I don't want him to stare huffily at me and drone, "How dare you attack my patriotism."

OMG. But wait... there's more!

''Two tours of duty''

Ah, yes. As usual, he has four words for Americans: I served in Vietnam. Or five words if you spell it Viet Nam.

So we have one candidate running on a platform of ambitious reforms for an ''ownership society'' at home and a pledge to hunt down America's enemies abroad. And we have another candidate running on the platform that no one has the right to say anything mean about him.

Read it. America is waking up to John Kerry and it's like the end of a nightmare.

Yay Yanks - Boo Kerry

Yay Yankees. Another Kerry lie:

The Great Pretender, Sox Fan Extraodinaire, informed Ohio that he was having a special night because the Sox narrowed their gap with the Yankees to 2 1/2 games.

Woo hoo and whoopie do! The Yankees had led by 3 1/2 games before the games began on Thursday night. The Sox were winning in their game against the Angels. When Bush started his speech, the Yanks led by an imposing score of 8-0, so the 3 1/2 game lead looked safe.

And yet, according to The Great Pretender, while George Bush spoke the Indians had come all the way back to beat the Yanks and allow the Sox to pick up another game? OMG. That would be amazing, and traumatizing to boot!

But, like much of what Kerry says, that would also be wrong - the Yanks won 9-1.

How do you know Kerry is lying? Simple.

His lips are moving.
