the First Debate
Overall, I give Kerry the nod in this one. Mainly for only exposing
his liberal bias a couple of times. Bush did OK but he miss several
oppertunitys to put Kerry away. Mainly because he was too
scripted in his responses. It was obvious to me that Kerry said a
couple of talking points that Bush was either not prepared for or
he went for the kill but got ahead of himself in the response. Now
Kerry did have several negative moments. One being that he
again stated that he was going to see the war through (bad news
for his base) to victory. He stated he had a plan for winning the
war. (Down side is he has to get out some version of the plan
to the public, which to this point he has not done). Kerry did lie
during the debate. Probably because he can't help it. But
the quote: " one position” on Iraq. John, I don't have enough
space here to show all the examples of that lie. The second was
the "we went to Iraq over weapons of mass destruction (WMD)
and there were none." For all you who forgot, it was the UN ,
British, Israeli and 30 other governments; who stated that Iraq
had and was pursuing more WMD's. We have to wait for the
next debate to see who learned what.

An I thought Kerry said the campaign was too nasty
First off, Hat tip to KEN for the Syria news but please got to his
site and read of his travails with a ardent terrorist supporter.

Now if you thought GW and JF****K were getting down and
dirty, just take a look at the ad a Colorado Democrat leaning
527 organization is running against a Republican
Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave at
www.coloradofamiliesfirst.com/media.html .
The files are MOV, so you need Apple QuickTime to view the
files. But the screen shots tell the story of the TV spots. One is
of a woman in a pink outfit, stealing the watch off of a corpse in
a casket. The second is of the same woman in pink, stealing the
wallet from a soldier in Iraq. So just in case you think this
election is not getting down in the mud, think again.


The ad was sponsored by Colorado Families First, headed by
former Colorado Democratic Party Chairman Tim Knaus.
Of course, the Democratic candidate, Stan Matsunaka, is
now trying to distance himself from Knaus and the ad, though
he has not publicly condemed either of the ads. But time will tell,
how badly this negative campaign ad will back fire against him.

To the voters in Colorado, do you really want someone who will
stop at nothing to get elected and not keep this CBS style
electioneering ( you know, The content is considered true so
anything goes) to go unpunished. But this is what you get for
daring to go against the aparachik's of the Democratic party.

Once more into the breech
Well I took a few days off, went to the State Fair and did some
house work.
So let's see what is going on. The Debates are set to start on
Thursday. I expect to see a some minor disruptions of the
event but overall it should showcase J. Kerry's ability to put
people to sleep with his monotone voice.

Syria is getting a hint of the potential A** kicking that they
have coming for funneling foreign fighters into Iraq.

The partisan political ads shown on TV are starting to get
funny. ( J.K., you can not complain of negative ads and
proceed to do one on your opponent at the same time)
90% of the public is not that stupid.

Well enough for today.

Bush and the DRAFT
There is only one party and candidate advocating bringing back
the Draft. There is only one party to invoke the draft in the last
one hundred years. Can you guess which party that is....... ?

That's right, the Democrats. While FDR did have WWII to fight.
But Korea and Vietnam were accelerated and the draft invoked
under Democratic president's and under Democratic Party
controlled Congresses.

Add to this the fact that the only members of Congress to propose
a "new" Military draft are Democrats.

So I ask, " What the F*** is Kerry talking about?"
Maybe he got is hands on another memo from Lt Col Killian
via CBS and a ouiji board.

stupid guy?
In response to,

"Your Lovely Bush is a stupid guy
You Are a stupid Guy you americans are Stupid People...
egocentric and nonsense I Wish the Arab Suckers bring the
War to you, and Americans and Islans eradicate each other
The World would be a better place then, without so much
pain and sorrow and ugly pigs like you all
By O Anjo Decaído, at 8:01 PM "

While I now know you are 19 and from Brazil, get a little more
up on reality.

I do think, I can and will defend myself if need be.
I have lived in the US, Europe and Asia. So forgive me if
think your life experience is probably lacking. It is
interesting that you put your work industry as the
internet. To bad you can't figure out that it was the US
that developed and built most of that system.

The US did not declare war on Islam. The US
declared war on Terrorist, most of whom hide behind
their distorted view of Islam. So if you want the US gone
,tough luck. But first, I suggest your country quit asking for
money and aid from the US. If not than you are a hypocrite.
Have a nice Day :)

Rah,Rah Michael Moore
For a good laugh go to:
http://michaelmoore.com/words/message/

Michael, Michael, Michael. While you are right, it is not over until
November. But you are speaking to the wrong people about the
wrong things, not that this is really new.

So let's start with this quote:
"WAKE UP! The majority are with us! More than half of all
Americans are pro-choice, want stronger environmental laws, are
appalled that assault weapons are back on the street -- and 54%
now believe the war is wrong. "

REALLY now, I don't remember any riots in the streets of America
when the assault weapons ban ended. No street battles over who
would buy their AK-47's, first.

Majority are pro-choice, well if you are talking Supreme Court
Justices at this time. But that is subject to change, if Bush
remains in office. Which I know scares you to death. But the real
answer is a majority of people are in favor of abortion, "to protect
the life of the mother". Not Abortion on demand or Abortion with
out restrictions as Michael Moore and the Feminazi's want.

And were did you get the idea that War's are run by committee?
A War run by committee is destine to fail. A War is run by people
who know how to run a War, of which you and J. Kerry know little
to nothing about. Well maybe one thing, "Run Away,Run Away!"
This does not inspire confidence in the people of this or any nation.

But lets get down to brass tacks, Kerry is about as interesting as
week old stale bread. He has no other plan for Iraq than the one
mentioned above. He has no plan about the economy except
raising taxes and increase social spending. Which has always
caused a recession. He has no grand record in the Senate to
run on for either proposing good legislation or a voting record
with anything that could possibly give a voter an idea of how
John Kerry would be as a president. But there is also Teresa,
who wants to be confused with a longshoremen. While it
might be sexy to John, she is a major downer for the Kerry
campaign. I have even heard this from other Democrats.

So keep it up Michael, maybe this time you and Barbara
Streisand can go to England together.

Freedom of Speech?
Well, only if you support liberalism. I do not think that speaking
the truth will get you anywhere with the BIG 3 (ABC,NBC &CBS)
Media conglomerates or CNN for that manner.

"On the talk show that I host, or hosted, I said I felt Rather
should either retire or be forced out over this," said Brian
Maloney, whose weekly "The Brian Maloney Show" aired for
three years on KIRO-AM Radio, a CBS affiliate here.
Maloney says he made that statement on his Sept. 12
program. He was fired Friday, he said.

Dan Rather wants to force the George Bush out of office
using forged documents. But you can't do the same thing
to Dan Rather for willingly using forged documents over
this issue. I thought that Dan Rather was an OBJECTIVE
Journalist.

See stories:
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/artandlife/apother_story.asp?category=1404&slug=Rather%20Critic&searchdiff=1&searchpagefrom=1

http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/entertainment/9701134.htm

Note: It took 3 days to hit the News wires. If a reporter at
lost his or her job for speaking about a conservative network
host. It would have been Front Page news the next day.
And on the evening news broadcasts by 11:00 pm.

You know when you get that sinking feeling 2
I wrote the first post to J. Kerry. But I should have included
D. Rather in my attempt to clarify my belief. That when
most people learn that you are lying to them, your best
option is to come out and admit it and take your "lumps".
While I am sure that Dan would consider me a wild eyed
Blogger. I do have 3 advantages:
1) as an Air Force military brat I learned about acronym's
from my Dad and Mom
2) I was in the Navy and learned even more acronyms
3) I have ordered material through the Military Supply
System.
The hardest thing to get is office materials. While you can
order a $250,000 part for a ship or plane and get it 6 weeks.
Just try and justify a new typewriter or computer. Your
best hope is that you are moving into a new office or building.
But more often than not you go to the Supply Reutilization
Center and get a used one that was sent to the center from
a location that no longer needed that piece of equipment.

History repeats, well almost.
Famous quotes in time:
Marie Antoinette, 1790's; " Let them eat cake."
Teresa Heinz Kerry, 2004." Clothing is wonderful, but
let them go naked for a while, at least the kids."
And Democrats really think she is better than Laura Bush.
Of course, it is not possible for a Democrat to be arrogant; is it.
Just ask Dan Rather.

Why are you worried about Bush?
Jeff/Brian,
And why aren't you worried about Kerry.
But to answer your post:
"Mike... In regards to your response to my blog site posting of
"The #1 Terrorist In The World", you asked me to understand
that "we (Americans) are not the enemy". Let me make it clear
that as an American, I certainly don't consider America as the
enemy. I consider the Bush Administration policies to be the
enemy of America! In addition, HE is making the U.S. the
enemy of the world. That worries me and should worry all
Americans."

While it may come as a shock to you, I do not agree with all of
Bush's policies. But America is not any more feared in the World.
In fact, it was expected that we would act after UN RES1441
was ignored by Saddam Hussein (SH). The Bush Administration
made it clear that there would be "serious" repercussions for
Saddam, if he failed to comply with the resolution. I have had
the opportunity to discuss this and other issues with people I
meet from Japan, the Philippines, Australia and Indonesia.
(I was in Japan for 5 months and Guam for 4 months since
July of 2003.)

Now I have a real problem with Kerry on this subject. I mean
after 12 years of trying to get SH to dispose of his WMD's that
the UN cataloged and verified him having. What other
measure would Kerry take? Not that I think that H. Blix is a
total incompetant but come on he should have found some of
those weapons in 12 years.

Now for those other countries that did not join the US and enforce
UN RES1441.

France was still buying oil, making back door financial deals and
selling any type of weapon system that SH could want up to and
including nuclear materail processing secrets.

Germany was in nearly as deep on all of those issues as well.

And Russia, do you really believe they gave SH those T-90
tanks and advanced planes just because they are good friends?

SH goal has always been to keep the weapons he wanted.

And if you think I am kidding please see this article and pictures.
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2003/8/6/105528.shtml
http://www.newsmax.com/images/headlines/mig25c.jpg
http://www.newsmax.com/images/headlines/mig25d.jpg

I hope you understand, this a 70 Ft long, 15 Ft wide fuselage and
a height of 30 Ft that was buried in the sands of Iraq. It was one
of 12 aircraft recovered. Do you think that if SH went to this
length to conceal an aircraft. That he would not go to the same
lengths to hide WMD artillery shells; that are 3 Ft long and
5 inches in diameter?
(How many of those shells would fit in the same area as that
plane?)

So if I am being asked to trust Kerry, who has positioned himself
on every side of this issue. I will take Bush, if only because he
backs up what he says with actions. And the World respects
that kind of position when taken by the US. The nations that
fear the US for acting are the same nations who want the US
to fail as a world power.

I challenge the Kerry Campaign
Enough BS from the Kerry Camp and the DNC. You want Bush's
records well, you can get them. Bush had already signed his
Form-180. So turn about is FAIR play, J. F. Kerry, you sign
your Form-180 and release your military records. I know you
won't do it. The reason is quite simple, J. Kerry was not a
Veteran when he testified in front of Congress. Nor was he
a Veteran, when he meet with North Vietnamese government
representatives. He was still an ACTIVE Naval
Reserve Officer. This means that it is most likely that Kerry
was reprimanded for speaking to Congress without permission
of his Chain of Command. Naval Officers (active or reserve)
do not speak to Congress directly, you can write your
Congressman but to speak to Congress; your are required to
put that request in writing with the subject matter clearly
spelled out and await approval by the Chain of Command.
To use my favorite colloqualism,
"Ain't gonna happen!"

You can bet that J. Kerry's Reserve Commanding Officer (CO)
had a call, from high up in the Chain of Command, the next
day; if not that night. Which in order to CYA, he would have
to either :

a) admit he knew that Kerry was going to make that speech
(personally, I can think of fewer/faster ways to end your career)

b) admit he knew Kerry was going to speak to Congress on
"Veterans matters" or whatever Kerry had written in the
request. Of which this line of thinking was not disclosed.
(An offense which would result in a formal reprimand)

c) state that J. Kerry acted without warning. The most serious
which would result in that CO would be directed to reprimand
Kerry for not following the Chain of Command. (which is
exactly what the DNC is accusing Bush of having done,
Hmmmm.) And may have resulted in a Court Martial of
J. Kerry for his actions.

For one of the directives that you are taught in OCS is that you
"do not bring discredit to the honor of the Navy".

What planet are you on?
This is the question I would have asked J. Kerry during his Time
Magazine interview.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101040920-695825,00.html
Just look at the quote's:
"But you know, I've been in worse situations in my life. The
attacks don't attack me as much as they attack Americans
and America. They're trying to distract people from the real
issues that matter. "
(Actually in DEC 68, I was witnessing the departure of my
father for Vietnam, for the 2nd time.
John, the real issue is "can you be trusted to tell the truth",
not just what is to your personal advantage.)

"They're shredding alliances around the world with people we
have traditionally been able to rely on. That's what bothers me. "
(John, do you mean France; the same country that asked
the US to leave in 1966, got the US into Vietnam and started
arming Iraq in 1969) (PS: My family was part of the those asked
to leave. The French expect us to hand over the base intact
and fully functional, luckily The Base Commander did not see it
that way.)

"The deficit is the largest it's been in the history of this country."
(Excuse me but the only budget items you have ever voted
against is for defense systems to be used to protect this
country)

So I ask again, "What planet are you living on?"

The Veil of Civility
Tonite, I saw the 5th in a series of Bush supporters or Kerry
detractors being beaten on camera. While I can be sure that
these will be considered isolated incidents by Big Media. A
pattern is emerging in the nature of the attacks. So to all
those out there who would consider speaking out publicly
against Kerry, I have some advice.
1) strength in numbers (cowards only attack when they have
a definite advantage)
2) video tape is your friend (works great in court)
3) if you are not 6'+ and 200 lbs, expect the Rotund
Union Worker to try and intimidate you.
4) be brief (you won't have much time to get your message
out before the "goons" attack)
5) Expect minimal media coverage (after all 88% voted for
Clinton twice and Al Gore, but no bias here)
And remember you will hear repeatedly, that it is the Kerry
detractors who are uncivilized, provocative and un-American.
For daring to oppose Kerry ascension to the highest office in
the land.

You know when you get that sinking feeling
I have been fortunate that I have only put myself in this
type of situation a couple of times. Most of the time I just
bow to the inevitable and take my "lumps" (re: Bugs
Bunny) . Obviously J. Kerry did not get the type of verbal
and occasionally physical beating, I would get when I got
caught in a lie. So I developed a little indicator, I would
start to get this sinking feeling. It usually shows up
when I get myself in over my head in a new project.
It prompts me to really get to know everything about
whatever I am talking about.

Now why this same action does not happen with J. Kerry,
I can only speculate. I think it comes from being a Democrat
in Massachusetts. I mean this is the same state that
continues to elect E. Kennedy; even though they all know
Kennedy left someone to drown in an overturned car.
Plus Kerry has faced the Vietnam issue before but before he
just "smeared" the people who had the audacity to make
the charge. Why, because it has always worked. After all he
had the support of the Massachusetts Democratic Party.

But this is the rest of the country and those methods do
not work. You have to provide direct and truthful answers
to the questions posed. And that is something J. Kerry just
can not do. The reason is the answers are more damning
then the questions. For one, He would have to admit that he
fudged on his action reports and medal recommendations, for
starters. But I think it goes deeper, I think that after 30
years of lying; he believes his own press. Now the mainstream
media has tried to protect him by not running the stories.

But the information is out there for anyone to find with little
effort. I mean just search any search engine and enter the
following words; "Kerry, medal, toss" You will get multiple
sites but if you read them, they all agree on one thing: Kerry
tossed medals/ribbons away. (Trust me the majority of Vets
do not like this.)

Then a later revelation is that his 1971 testimony was
used by the North Vietnamese during interrogations of
POW's. Plus he meet with the representatives of that
same government. Both actions violate his oath as a
officer (he was still in the Naval Reserves).

These are three instances that show things J. Kerry's
"character". While I know this only one part of his life,
it does show that he will do anything to promote
himself. Is that the overriding quality that you want in
the next president of the United States?

The Military Chain of Command
So J. Kerry went after D. Cheney for not serving during
wartime. Well he better be careful about what he says
or at least look back he ought to look into his OCS
training manuals.

Dick Cheney served as Sec of Defense. This is a
position in the Military Chain of Command. 3rd overall,
below the Vice President. The oath of office for the
Sec Defense is the same as all military members have
to take. And before you go "well, he would not see combat"
you better be careful since you would disavow the service
of any veteran who served in wartime but did not see combat.

Why Michael Moore DOES NOT get it
I had kept my sense of humor when reading Michael Moore's
USA Today Column, but I just could not keep from writing
about his column.
http://usatoday.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=USATODAY.com+-+Don%27t+send+more+kids+to+die&expire=&urlID=11519588&fb=Y&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fnews%2Fopinion%2Fcolumnist%2F2004-09-01-moore_x.htm&partnerID=1660

As I read this meandering peice of drivel, I found the following
exerpt's that show M.Moore's mindset:

"Other fathers and mothers who loved their daughters and sons
across America can no longer celebrate with them. That's
because their children are dead on the streets and roads of
Iraq, sent there by Mr. Bush to "defend" America."

Obviously Mr. Moore does not know of the hundred+ American
servicemen, who die every year; even when we are not engaged
in combat. (auto accidents, training accidents, exposure,
equipment failure,etc.)

"I would like to hear him say tonight, "I'm sorry. There never
were weapons of mass destruction and there never was a
connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11. There
was no imminent threat, our lives were not in danger, no
missiles were going to hit Cleveland. Because of our desire
to get our hands on the second largest supply of oil in the
world, we sacrificed a thousand of your sons and daughters.
For this, we are greatly sorry.""

This shows that Mr. Moore did not believe the UN reports
on Saddam's WMD's. It also shows that he is still living
(like most liberals including J. Kerry) like 9/11 never
happened. This is the same type of misplaced belief that the
US had prior to Pearl Harbor, when dealing with the Japanese.
And history recorded what happened with that type of thinking.

"Nixon snuck into office in 1968 with his secret plan to end
the Vietnam War. Another miscalculation: The war continued
for years, and thousands more died."

Nixon's election was not even close.
Nixon did at least try to end the war that JFK and the French
got us into in the first place. Amazing how that little fact has
always has been overlooked. But when Tom Brokaw stated
"Why do we have to keep fighting the Veitnam War?"

The answer is people like M.Moore have not gotten over it.
