Kerry hadn’t lost the Election of 2004 yet, and he still looked close to victory in August of 2004. He was, however, engaged in an effort to distance himself from the Howard Dean Wing of his party. He had the following to say about his vote to authorize military action in Iraq.

“Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it was the right authority for a president to have.” Speaking to reporters at the edge of the Grand Canyon, he added: “[Although] I would have done this very differently from the way President Bush has." –John F. Kerry (9 Aug 04)

This was the same guy who had previously uttered the phrase. “I actually did vote for the $87 billion (in supplemental military appropriations) before I voted against it.”

When The Reverend knew the mike was live, he had the following to say about his friend, Senator Obama.

"My support for Senator Obama's campaign is wide, deep and unequivocal," he said in his statement. "I cherish this redemptive and historical moment."

The short answer would be about 550 Metric Tons of Yellowcake.

It looks like he also failed to find any conclusive evidence that the Executive Branch of the US government engaged in an active conspiracy to falsely claim that Saddam Hussein was seeking to buy uranium. If there were 550 metric tons of the stuff to quietly remove, and if Iraq is not exactly a hot bed of uranium mining and refinement, Hussein had to have procured said Uranium from somewhere. In other words, Hussein did exactly what Colin Powell announced that the Iraqi despot was doing.

Vote for him, Greedy Konservative, you must.

It amuses me to no end the extent that the Kucinich Left will comingle fantasy and the real world. It goes far beyond the problems that some conservatives, such as John Miller, have had with being Teenage half-Orcs.

Kudos to Ralph Peters. He brings us the seven things you won’t hear about Iraq from our trusted guardians of all that is true over at CBS News. Peters leads off his list of seven lies being told about Iraq with the following.

Whopper No. 1: America is less safe today than it was on Sept. 10, 2001.

We have it on high from a noted authority. Those mean and nasty Republican Country Clubs won’t be inviting Barak Obama to join them on the links. Perhaps there just hasn’t been enough Arugula in his diet. Not according to Klein; he offers us the real reason below.

"I just think that the image is kind of hilarious when you think about it: Barack Obama at a country club sipping a martini. It's kind of a parody of the Republican view of the world. Everybody belongs to -- since when [did] we start letting people like Barack Obama into Republican country clubs?"

Let me be the first to defend the good name and honor of one Winnie the Pooh. He is indeed smarter than the average bear. According to my two-year old son, this is no empty slogan. So mighty is the wisdom of Pooh, it now even informs the philosophy of Barak Obama military advisor and former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig.

The Honorable Mr. Danzig offered us the following observations about my little boy’s favorite story book character and stuffed animal model.

At one point in his career, Doug Kmiec may have been a worthy professor of law, whose instincts were based on sound judgment and impeccable logic. Then the poor man took a flyer on Barak Obama. Having read the logical contortions Kmiec finds himself forced into while justifying Barak Obama’s position on abortion, I find the man more qualified to win The World Twister Championship.

He starts his latest effort by making us wonder why anyone, as a practicing Catholic, would care what the idiot behind the pulpit was saying during a sermon.

The House of Representatives have just passed a budget that gives us our first good look at “Hope and Change.” According to The Las Vegas Journal Review, this budget advocates a base level of expenditure on government agencies greater than $1 Trillion. The LVJR offers a stark opinion on both the short-term and long-term impacts of this budget.

On the map, the Great State of Alaska lies far abroad from the rest of the nation. In our minds, it is often far abroad from our daily concerns. However, on a balmy, 60-degree Alaska day in August, America’s piece of The Arctic Circle could become ground zero for the Conservative campaign to reclaim the wayward GOP.

Sitting Congressman, Don Young, exemplifies the type of Republican who lost both The Senate, The House of Representatives in 2006. He rakes in the pork, wallows in the privilege, and provides the Pelosi-crats a bought-off and docile minority in the House. He is also a perfect lightning-rod for the polarization of liberal discontent. He costs the GOP seats in lands far afield from the Frozen North.
