Here are a few of his comments while he was a reporter.
"When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy who can't say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the president doesn't seem to mean what he says." The Detroit News, 12/28/03

"On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store Democrat. He gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy undeserved prestige, such as Head Start. He seems to consider it mean-spirited to shut down programs that rip-off taxpayers and mislead supposed beneficiaries."

If this is not one of the purer forms of hypocrisy, what is?

if liberals they hate our soldiers, do they want America to just have no military while other countries keep theirs? if that isnt anti-American, then what is? do they want a weak one while others are strong, or one thats just as strong as others because then it would be "fair"? why do they cut funding for the military? if they think they are terrorists, they are only doing what their bosses tell them. you cant expect someone to quit their job and find another one, or to just not do what their boss tells them. oh and cutting funding wont limit the military's control, it would only help them fail wars.

if liberals, incuding the liberal Republican Henry Kissinger hate the military in general (any military in the world), then what alternative would they suggest? we dont need military to have war, we could have something similar to tribal warfare, so screw the excuse that military "causes" war.

Can anyone think of a good Christmas present for a friend of mine who is stationed in Iraq right now. Your opinion is particlarly valued if you are in the service and have been over there. I don't know what my friend would need or miss from home. I do know that this base has many more amenities than others, but I don't know what comforts the soldiers go without. Thanks for your help!

PS- if you have any other tips (mailing to Iraq or maybe I should send him more than one thing because his friend might need something, etc.) please don't hesitate to include these.

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

- John Kerry, in a 10/31/2006 speech for California gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides

No wonder he's known in his own neighborhood as The Moron from Massachusetts (or, at other times, The Junior Permanent Senator from Massachusetts).

I cannot believe what I read here.

Why is everyone so concerned with finding the 'lesser of evils?'

Why not take a step back and realize it's all a game, to keep people busy so they don't see the real problems that face all of us (ALL OF US, regardless of which political puppet party we like)

I don't think his remark will hurt the democrats in the election, most people already have their minds made up. But he is probably done with any future national office!

I found out the other day that the CEO of my company gave out my personal information to a sales employee. This is a remote sales employee and was having problems with his laptop. So on Sunday night at 6:30 I receive a call on my personal home number (not a company number) from this sales person, frantic and needing help. I cut him off and asked him how he got my number and he told me that the CEO gave him my home number and told him to give me a call. My home number is not publicly listed and no one in the company has my number. The only place my home number appears is in the confidential HR documents. I am pretty sure the CEO has no right to go into those documents and give out my personal information, but what is my legal recourse?

When clearly, looking at the past 6 years...the war on Iraq...the attack on our Constitution....the huge deficits....the inaction on the minimum wage....the growing ranks of the poor and growing disparity between the upper class and the middle and lower classes....the rise in Hate in America....the obvious and unashamed corruption in Congress......tacking internet gambling to Port Security bills....the lack of preparation for disasters (terrorist and manmade) over the last 5 years despite the enormous growth of government....the interference of government in our private lives...

How can people still say, "It doesn't matter who wins" when so clearly, so obviously...it DOES matter!
