Kerry, then much as he is now...

"Are we rushing headlong into the next step of those 40 years of progressions by which we do something then they do something, by which we pretend that we're going to build this and it will somehow strengthen our deterrent then they do it, and low and behold, the next thing we know is, the President of the United States is addressing the nation saying, ‘My fellow Americans, I hate to tell you this, but the Soviet Union is deploying more of these, and we have to respond, and I'm asking the Congress for more money in order to respond.’ Star Wars is guaranteed to do that, and it's guaranteed to threaten the heavens -- the one line we haven't yet crossed with weaponry: the heavens." – Senator John Kerry, on SDI, the program that helped to bring the Soviet Union to its knees, August 5, 1986.

Another in a long line of illustrations of why this guy would be an absolute disaster leading the war on terror (or any other war, for that matter.)

I like this Reagan-era Kerry quote:


"The Reagan Administration has no rational plan for our military. Instead, it acts on misinformed assumptions about the strength of the Soviet military and a presumed ‘window of vulnerability,’ which we now know not to exist."

"The biggest defense buildup since World War II has not given us a better defense. Americans feel more threatened by the prospect of war, not less so. And our national priorities become more and more distorted as the share of our country’s resources devoted to human needs diminishes.”

“If we don’t need the MX [multiple warhead ICBM], the B-1, or these other weapons systems ... ]here’s no excuse for casting even one vote for unnecessary weapons of destruction, and as your Senator, I will never do so,” Kerry vowed.

He just didn't GET it and still fails to get it. That's what scares me.

To paraphrase Kerry's quote: "I'M FRENCH!!"

I've said it before, I'll say it again.. I'm not voting for either of them.

Instead, write in Colin Powell on your Ballot.

I mean, if we're gonna have someone be President it might as well be the smartest man in the current administration.

[[AK]Palooka]

Hmm. You know that Colin Powell was and still remains a proponent of the Iraq War, right? He has stated that he was just as committed to ousting Saddam as anyone else in the administration. You're starting to remind me of John Kerry, Slaughter. You're just not sure what to think.

[[AK]Devil_Dog]

Hmm. You know that Colin Powell was and still remains a proponent of the Iraq War, right?

Pal, you bring up a good point, I wonder what Colin Powell would do if he was in the number seat?

[[AK]Bribo]

Let's not forget this one from the 1988 Democratic convention.

'John F. Kerry took to the convention hall podium, telling the delegates that the "moral darkness" of President Reagan's presidency will soon end. '

[[AK]Sonic Boom]

Pal, you bring up a good point, I wonder what Colin Powell would do if he was in the number seat?

I'm firmly convinced that the smartest men around, Powell and Cheney among them, know that the Presidency is a really crappy job and that the real horsepower lies in controlling a pliable and dim-witted puppet like W.

[[AK]Palooka]

What did you get on your SAT, Sonic? I happen to know what Bush's score was, and his beats mine. Do you consider me a dimwit?

[[AK]Sonic Boom]

Are you saying you want to be the President?

[[AK]Palooka]

No, I'm saying that few people would call me a dimwit.

[[AK]Sonic Boom]

Likewise.

[[AK]Palooka]

This tired old crap from the left about Bush being a moron has no basis in fact, pure and simple. Bush is not stupid. In fact, he's probably more intelligent than the vast majority of people who rail on his supposed lack of intelligence. How many of those people could get into Harvard's MBA program, much less actually get through it?

So Bush doesn't act the part. So what? Would you prefer a snobby, pretentious intellectual elite as your president, or a guy who can connect with average Americans?

"A friend of mine was asked to a costume ball a short time ago. He slapped some egg on his face and went as a liberal economist."

I think your answer was in your signature.
