OT "Spineless" John Kerry: "I Am Against the War"
 
The liberals want to make it sound as though we're losing
ground. They conjure up pessimism and negativism. They
have to make it all up. Liberals do not look at the good
things that have happened. They don't see them, don't recognize
them, or acknowledge them, because they don't want people
to be or feel happier, or safer. They want to paint the blackest
picture and they want American's to buy into this bull****.

America is a safer place, liberals are not happy about it. They
want you to think they are going to be able to solve the problem
when the reality Kerry has gone from supporting the war, to
saying he would continue on our present course, to now saying,
"I am against the war."

Here it goes again, Kerry is against the war. Our troops
overseas can count on one thing. They will die for our
country and Kerry will be apologizing to our enemies.
The military can count on one thing, not being able to count
on Kerry to follow through on what he voted for.

CHENEY: When Congress voted to authorize force against
Saddam Hussein, Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards both
voted "yes." Now it seems they've both developed a convenient
case of campaign amnesia. The last thing our nation needs is
politicians who support a decision to go to war and then try to
rewrite history and then fail to support the troops they voted to
send into battle.

*********************************
Kerry has done just that, so has Edwards, they both voted for
the war then they voted against the $87 billion. Now they're
trying to say that they would do it better then do it smarter but
they won't say how and won't answer the hard questions.

Now:
KERRY: [on 60 Minutes] "I'm against this war."

KERRY: "In the two years since 9/11, less nuclear materials
have been secured than in the two years prior to 9/11."

HOLBROOKE [Kerry advisor on the Today Show with:
Katie Couric] He's talking about North Korea. The facts
speak for themselves, North Korea is more dangerous today
than it was before this administration came into power. Katie
looks at Newt and says, is that a valid criticism in your view?

***********************************
What about the US and Soviet arms reduction agreements?
***********************************

GINGRICH: Senator Kerry misses deliberately, as a campaign
device, a whole series of events. Libya has given up its
chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and admitted,
by the way, that it was lying to the world for years, which
our CIA reported accurately was the case. Iran has now
admitted that for 18 years it lied to the International Atomic
Energy Agency, which is a multinational effort the United
States is participating in. Five countries, the United States,
Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea, are pressuring
North Korea in a multilateral effort, precisely the kind of
things, by the way, that Senator Kerry says he favors. Iraq
no longer has a dictator trying to acquire weapons of mass
destruction, something which, by the way, the British, Italian,
and French intelligence agencies ten days ago reported once
again that they were trying to buy uranium from Niger while
Saddam was dictator, something which had been disputed
by some people. And A.Q. Khan, the Pakistani physicist
who was the leading proliferator in the private sector
worldwide, has now been stopped from that proliferation,
and the Pakistani government has clamped down. The world
is still dangerous. There are real steps that have been taken.

KATIE COURIC: "Newt, you think the administration would
do it differently if it had to do it all over again?"

GINGRICH: Let's look at the facts. It is a fact that George W.
Bush had the guts to go into Afghanistan, something Clinton
never did. It is a fact that while both Richard and I favored
replacing Saddam Hussein it is George W. Bush who had
the guts to replace him. What's Kerry saying, is Kerry saying
he would invade North Korea? What is his complaint? I want
to talk here, Richard, but what would you do in North Korea?
If you're not willing to invade Iraq, if you don't think invading
Afghanistan was right, what would do you in North Korea?
Not talk about, what would you do against the most dangerous
dictatorship on the planet?

HOLBROOKE: Newt, North Korea actually has weapons of
mass destruction.

GINGRICH: Right and got them under the Clinton administration.

HOLBROOKE: No, they got them before the Clinton administration.

***********************************
At least they built up dramatically under the Clinton administration
***********************************

HOLBROOKE: I would continue the six-part talks but make an
all-out effort to put more pressure directly on North Korea.

GINGRICH: And how would you do that?

HOLBROOKE: The administration's refusal to talk directly to North
Korea even though the South Koreans and the Chinese have said go
ahead and do it is an inexplicable triumph of ideology over substance.

GINGRICH: So you would put pressure by talking with them, you'd
put pressure by meeting with them, this is pressure?

***********************************
Are you laughing as hard as I am? This is pressure?
***********************************

HOLBROOKE: No, it's a complete -- you know it's a complete package.

GINGRICH: No. Are you prepared to invade North Korea or is this
just more rhetoric without any substantive action?


No answer.
***********************************
How can you criticize and then suggest you would both do
nothing differently, and attack N. Korea in the same breath????

I want an answer to this question!
**********************************

KERRY: I think the president made a mistake in the way that he took us to
war.

STAHL: Was the war wrong?

KERRY: I am against the war. The way the president went to war was wrong.

************************************
Kerry voted for it and now says "I'm against the war". He is tap dancing
around the issues and saying the way the president went to war was wrong.
President Bush asked for and got Kerry's vote. Congress got it's chance,
another vote, another debate and, another resolution. President Bush did
not
proceed until he had the votes of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House, the
whole government, the whole Congress, and he didn't proceed until he had
two resolutions. Now Kerry wants to pretend that he never cast that vote.

Someone, please send a cows backbone, to Kerry. He is spineless.

I am not a liberal, and one of the reasons I am against President Bush
is that he has made the U.S. far less safe. In fact, I cannot see how
you would claim we are safer. The gov't is in deep debt and could not
afford another major military operation. The Army is stretched to the
limit, or slightly past, and doesn't have the manpower to conduct any
further major operations anyway. Intel & counter-terrorist efforts are
all centered on Iraq, leaving the rest just hanging in the wind.

True conservatives are in favor of a strong national defense. This
includes defense against terrorists. Bush & Cheney manipulated us into a
war so that their buddies (and Cheney himself, I believe) could reap
enormous profits. In doing so they have turned world opinion against us,
alienated many former allies, and provided motivation for 3 more
generatins of suicide bombers. Not to mention the killing of 10,000
Iraqi civilians... I suppose you believe Sept 11th morally justifies
killing huge numbers of indiscriminate foreigners? Or just Muslims?

He is not tap-dancing at all. Kerry supported the war becaue he was told
that Iraq was an imminent threat to the U.S. He was told that Iraq had
ties to Al-Queda and had helped plan the Sept 11th suicide attacks. He
was told that the war would be short & sweet and that we would not get
involved in "nation building." He was told that the war would cost far,
far less than it has.

You are eager to denounce Kerry for being wrong, and don't even mention
the wrong done by those who lied about all the above. That is rather
strange logic.

Blaming someone for believeing lies, and not blaming the liar, is a very
bad double standard. Can't you come up with anything better?

Perhaps it's time YOU took that remedial reading course, Jon. Qaddafi has
surrendered his nukes, and we know for a fact that he has had numerous ties
to terrorists, including terrorist training camps within Lybia. So you
don't consider that "safer." Would Qaddafi's acquiesence have occurred if
we'd not entered Iraq?

Which good things? People all
around the world hating us?


Anti-US sentiment is nothing new. If you think we were popular with those
same folks prior to the Iraq war, you're delusional. The price of being the
only superpower . . .

High gas prices,


And you're blaming Bush for this? Have you forgotten the $2.20 per gallon
prices during the Clinton admin.?

lousy economy that's
finally starting to get better despite the idiot in the WH?


More liberal lies. The economy has been improving steadily, if slowly,
since it's pit following 9/11. And I'd like you to show me evidence that
it's improving despite what the current administration is doing/has done.
Don't bother--you can't. (Unless it's something out of a Michael Moore
flick.)

Face the facts, Jon. The only way Kerry (a throw-away candidate for the
democrats) can win is to fabricate bad news, oppose anything the Bush
administration has done (despite having supported it formerly), and hope the
American people buy into the bull****.

Here's another wrinkle fer ya: Hillary Clinton is silently praying Kerry is
defeated. If he wins, it conceivably puts off her bid for the presidency by
8 years. She'll be well into her upper sixties then, and less likely to be
a favorable candidate in the eyes of her fellow democrats, who appear to
prefer younger individuals. Her career is dependent upon Kerry's defeat.
Oh, I suspect WJC and Hillary will make a mild show of support at the
convention, but don't count on them beating the "bush" for him.

The above paragraph was basically true, until your last sentence, which
holds no basis in fact. Just because the media fail to report on ongoing
actions and efforts elsewhere (Afghanistan, USA, Canada, Mexico, for
example) doesn't mean such efforts aren't being made. Have our intel
resources typically reported to the media everything they're doing???? You
rely far too heavily on the left-leaning media for your "gospel."

True conservatives are in favor of a strong national defense. This

Prove this. While it was extremely bad form for Halliburton to even
participate in the post-war contracts, let alone grossly overcharge for
them, you cannot provide one piece of evidence that this was Bush's original
intent. Speculation at best, and shaky at that. Liberal dogma.

In doing so they have turned world opinion against us,
alienated many former allies,


Like France? Russia? China? Now who's been lacking in historical accuracy?
I'm wondering who all these new "enemies" will turn to when they need either
financial or military assistance. I think we both know the answer. It

Did WWII justify the killing of millions of civilians? War is what it is.
So what is the alternative? If attacked, should we lick our wounds,
appologize to those who attacked us for ****ing them off for whatever
unknown reason, and wait for the next attack? Pacifism never solves
disputes. War does, sadly. History confirms this. That's the human
condition, and it's not likely to change.

far less than it has.


Would you have been more approving of Bush if he'd recently said, "Ya know,
I think this whole Iraq war thing was a bad idea. We're pulling out."
Wouldn't that make him a great leader?!! Everyone makes decisions, good
and/or bad. The one's with spine and integrity stick with them, despite the
resulting popularity or lack thereof. And let's not forget the political
equation: Kerry would look foolish to support Bush in anything at this
stage of an election year, no?

You are eager to denounce Kerry for being wrong, and don't even mention

strange logic.


It is easy for liberals to accuse Bush of lies, while discarding out-of-hand
that he might have been mislead by faulty intel as well. But that seems to
be the gold standard for liberals currently.

Blaming someone for believeing lies, and not blaming the liar, is a very
bad double standard. Can't you come up with anything better?


I think Bart covered it rather well, replete with quotes and such. That you

The above paragraph was basically true, until your last sentence, which
holds no basis in fact. Just because the media fail to report on ongoing
actions and efforts elsewhere (Afghanistan, USA, Canada, Mexico, for
example) doesn't mean such efforts aren't being made. Have our intel
resources typically reported to the media everything they're doing????

You
rely far too heavily on the left-leaning media for your "gospel."

True conservatives are in favor of a strong national defense. This
includes defense against terrorists. Bush & Cheney manipulated us into a
war so that their buddies (and Cheney himself, I believe) could reap
enormous profits.


Prove this. While it was extremely bad form for Halliburton to even
participate in the post-war contracts, let alone grossly overcharge for
them, you cannot provide one piece of evidence that this was Bush's

and provided motivation for 3 more
generatins of suicide bombers. Not to mention the killing of 10,000
Iraqi civilians... I suppose you believe Sept 11th morally justifies
killing huge numbers of indiscriminate foreigners? Or just Muslims?


Did WWII justify the killing of millions of civilians? War is what it is.
So what is the alternative? If attacked, should we lick our wounds,
appologize to those who attacked us for ****ing them off for whatever
unknown reason, and wait for the next attack? Pacifism never solves
disputes. War does, sadly. History confirms this. That's the human
condition, and it's not likely to change.

He is not tap-dancing at all. Kerry supported the war becaue he was told
that Iraq was an imminent threat to the U.S. He was told that Iraq had
ties to Al-Queda and had helped plan the Sept 11th suicide attacks. He
was told that the war would be short & sweet and that we would not get
involved in "nation building." He was told that the war would cost far,
far less than it has.


Would you have been more approving of Bush if he'd recently said, "Ya

know,
I think this whole Iraq war thing was a bad idea. We're pulling out."
Wouldn't that make him a great leader?!! Everyone makes decisions, good
and/or bad. The one's with spine and integrity stick with them, despite

the
resulting popularity or lack thereof. And let's not forget the political
equation: Kerry would look foolish to support Bush in anything at this
stage of an election year, no?

You are eager to denounce Kerry for being wrong, and don't even mention
the wrong done by those who lied about all the above. That is rather
strange logic.


It is easy for liberals to accuse Bush of lies, while discarding

out-of-hand
that he might have been mislead by faulty intel as well. But that seems

to
be the gold standard for liberals currently.

Blaming someone for believeing lies, and not blaming the liar, is a

Absolutely! Dudes like Gadaffi, Saddam, Bin Ladin, Rumsfield, et al don't
give a crap about their people. RR understood that and bombed Gadaffi up
close and personal killing some of his immediate family instead of going
after his pawns - and guess what: Gadaffi saw the light (a bomb blast) and
reformed. Bush could have handled Saddam the same way, but instead .... oh

France has just turned to the US for more help on the war on AIDS.

We should formally offer them the option of statehood, if they want
a say in our government.

Most nations do not contribute their fair share to solving important
world problems like AIDs and terrorism. They leave the expense
for research, manpower and technology to the US.

These countries say they want our help, but really they want our
money, and they want to decide how and where to spend it. Much
of the money earmarked to help people in need goes instead to
lining the bank accounts of foreign politicians. That must be
minimized.

Whoever foots the bill should run the show. If foreign nations
don't like it, they are free to pay for whatever they want to do.

Financial leverage is the most powerful leverage. The US should
halt foreign aid and trade to nations that do not treat us with respect.
If we are not liked, we should vote with our feet and go elsewhere.

We should make it plain that if our generous good-will is unrewarded,
it will stop. If our citizens whether they be tourists, missionaries, or
businessmen are killed on foreign soil, and the criminals that commit
these crimes are not punished, foreign aid and trade will stop immediately.
We should be clear we expect foreign nations to guarantee property
rights, human rights, and just laws for everyone.

Finally, if our position is clear, as a last resort, the threat of war will
produces results, and prevent wars--only if the threat is real not an
empty one posed by well meaning, but misguided liberals. This has
been shown recently by Lybia's about face on terrorism.

If we did these things, world opinion would change, country by
country, starting with foreign leaders who set the tone in their home
countries.

I agree, Bart, but it's not really respect I'm seeking--it's allegiance.
The biggest mistake the US has continually made in this regard is the
never-ending financial benevolence with no strings. We give money and
simply hope that it will buy allegiance, but it seldom does. Our
beneficiaries generally turn on us at the first sign of trouble. That
should cease, or the money should.

freedom of speech is a great thing, when people are responsible about what

Except that Qaddafi didn't actually, ever, have any nukes. Correct me
if I'm wrong by reference to an article stating the contrary.

You guys keep going on like he had things that could make big bangs.
All he had was an R&D program looking for a means of building bombs.

Get a grip on reality. Nearly everyone on rec.crafts.metalworking has
the technical equipment to build a nuclear weapon, it isn't technically
very difficult. The problem lies in getting the plutonium or U235.

Gadaffi's efforts to rejoin the civilized world predate Bush. I'll grant
you that Reagan's bombing of Libya may have shown him the light, but it
was not Bush. Gadaffi turned over the Lockerbie bombers pre-Bush.
Denounced terrorism and reestablished diplomatic links with the UK in
1999. Ending his weapons programs was just a continuation.

What you cite is accurate, and I agree. But I do think that our
no-line-in-the-sand approach with Saddam tended to lead Qaddaffi to believe
he was in jeopardy by keeping his nukes. It was the push he needed, if you
will.

The evidence shows Bush did not lie. That is mearly what
you'd like to think based on the liberal party programming
in their attempt to oust President Bush. The liberals have
nothing substantial, and so must make things up.

You presume and judge the man guilty, when no court would
sentence him. If he was guilty, the issue would be in court.

Extremist liberals will try to impeach President Bush after
Kerry has lost the election, even though there is no evidence
that President Bush lied, but because they have been brainwashed
into believing it. That too will fail, however the goal of smearing
an honest man will leave a taint of decay and corruption on the
Democratic Party.

The truth is extremist liberals ignore every fact that stands in
the way. al Queda was in Iraq--the report stated only they was
no documented evidence they were actively working with Saddam.
Iraq did support terrorism. Read the report not just the few
excerpts that are mis-quoted. al Queda was(is) in Iraq, France,
Germany, Spain, Jordan, Indonesia, as well as Florida, New
Jersey and New York.

Until last week Kerry supported the war. What changed in
the last week, except more documentation showing the Bush
administration did not try to force it's agenda on the intelligence
community? France, Russia, England, and many other countries
have acknowledged that Iraq supported terrorism, and was
seeking nuclear weapons. It was well known. Read it, it's in print.
Saddam rewarded the families of terrorists with pensions and
homes. He actively supported terrorism. We can logically
conclude he did have contact with al Queda, even though there
has been no proof.

By the way, I think AIDS is high on the liberal agenda, because
there is lots of money to be made by the liberals like Clinton who
want to steal from that huge pile of money. Charities should be
run by people who work for free as volunteers--not greedy
people who want to line their own pockets while pretending to
be righteous.

I'd support a liberal or anyone else, to manage worldwide war
on AIDS--as long as they were doing it for humanitarian reasons,
not financial reasons. I support the reasoning that abstinence,
education, and condoms are the best ways to limit the spread of
AIDS. I also support government spending in this area. If you
feel strongly about AIDS, I urge you to go to developing nations
and help educate those in need--back up your liberal ideals. Walk
the walk, don't just talk the talk. Do something.

The principles of conservatism are basically, summarized in this:
Give a man a fish and you feed him today. Teach a man to fish,
you feed him forever.

Conservatives want to develop effective solutions. Extremist
liberals want to throw money at every problem and make the
middle class pay for it. Taxes are very high and the value of
money is lower than ever due to inflation. I think the middle class
deserves value for their money, and a choice in how much is spent
and where. We certainly don't want our tax dollars supporting liars
and a cheats like the Clintons. We also do not accept the strong
arm tactics used by liberals who don't practice what they preach,
like John Kerry and his wife who are extremely wealthy and pay
no taxes.

If you, the Clintons, or Kerry think the money needs to be spent,
why don't you all dig into your own pockets first. Prove you are
a humanitarian and you'll have my respect. Until then, I'll remain
convinced you are another mindless drone following the party
line without thinking or analyzing anything objectively.

France has just turned to the US for more help on the war on AIDS.

We should formally offer them the option of statehood, if they want
a say in our government.

Most nations do not contribute their fair share to solving important
world problems like AIDs and terrorism. They leave the expense
for research, manpower and technology to the US.

These countries say they want our help, but really they want our
money, and they want to decide how and where to spend it. Much
of the money earmarked to help people in need goes instead to
lining the bank accounts of foreign politicians. That must be
minimized.

I honestly have no idea precisely what he had. But the media has reported
that he had the necessary ingredients to produce nukes. So you tell me:
what did he turn over to the US? Did he have any fissionable material?

unfortunately Ganz is not interested in anything except extolling his own

freedom of speech is a great thing, when people are responsible about what
they say. with some the need to say something is just because they
can........

enough people like that and the democratic system comes to an abrupt halt.

He lied or was too stupid to see when he was being
duped. Either way, I don't want him as president.
Clinton lied about a blow job. For that he was
impeached and found not guilty. Bush is guilty of
allowing 1000s to die because of either something
he didn't do (like listen to the people who knew
9/11 was imminent) or did do (go to war for no good
reason).

I would love to see him impeached, but it'll never happen.

Bush and Chumpy are no friends of regular Americans.
They deserve to lose by a landslide, but will probably
only lose by a hair.

It sounds to me like you're the one who's been brainwashed.
