Are The Democrats really the progressive party they claim to be? Certainly they are liberal/socialist but they hide the socialist bent under whatever rock their followers will fall for; I.E. “It’s for the children” is a common tactic when all else fails.
Lets look at the DNC, and George W. Bush. Since 1998 or so we’ve been subjected to the following lists of problems with him.
1. He’s a Chimp
2. He’s a Nazi
3. He’s a Puppet
4. He’s a War Criminal (this ones 2003 to present but hey)
5. He’s a liar (2003 again)
6. He’s an environmental disaster out to pollute the world top profit his business buddies.
7. He’s an intellectual lightweight barely smart enough to tie his shoes.
Now lets break these down.
1. The chimp charge is really just juvenile. As my wife pointed out, quite a few people could be morphed into a chimp with a simple photo program. Not real original. Was funny for the first 10 times it was shown on line or late night TV. Now, it’s just a reason to change the channel or close the window. Not real Progressive in thought to be bleating the same tired line over, and over, and over…
2. He’s a Nazi… because his grandfather made money off the Nazi’s. They also like to toss out that he uses 9/11 like Hitler used the burning of the Reichstag. Well Hitler ordered that fire, Bush didn’t order 9/11.. goofy. There is also the Patriot Act and claims he is ready at any moment to enact a total police state on us all. Or he is gonna start a world war of domination… (of course they ALSO claim he’s out to turn America into a Theocracy which is in no way a fascist system of government but lets not reality interfere shall we? Again same lines, same claims, never wavering or changing.
3. He’s a puppet; he can’t be that smart, others are pulling his strings, look at his college grades! (Kerry wasn’t all that either but they hid that till just what.. last month.)
4. He’s a war criminal; Why? Because the UN didn’t get a second vote on the war and France, Germany, Russia and China opposed the war! (Ignore the food for oil scandal… ya know that whole Saddam buying off those governments to avoid war, the left keeps telling us they were principled in their opposition and Bush wanted oil!)
5. He’s a liar; NO WMD! SEE HE LIED! DSM! F9/11! WAKE UP SHEEP! Ad nauseam. Despite the fact that most American’s understand that Bush was going on the same intelligence Clinton, Kerry, Kennedy and most western intelligence agencies thought the same thing. It makes a great bumper sticker and well, that’s all they seem to have. Bumper Sticker slogans.
6. He’s an environmental disaster; Why? Because he loosened some EPA regulations that served no purpose other then to make the greens feel good about their power and hurt industry. Has anyone ever looked into the Left’s Green members and where their money is coming from? Perhaps from “clean” industry technologies and thus it’s in their $$ interest to push absurd regulations? Just a thought.
7. He’s an intellectual lightweight barely smart enough to tie his shoes; Who just happened to beat them 3 elections in a row, and is poised to pull off another mid-term election sweep in the House and Senate. Something their dear leader Clinton never managed. Personally this is the most hilarious for me. The left keeps claiming Bush is unbelievably stupid. If that’s true what does that say about them considering they are incapable of defeating him in any election?
I have my problems with Bush, immigration is a disaster, I was furious over his silence in the wake of the Eminent Domain ruling, but I have some guarded hope he’ll nominate a good constitutionalist judge to the Supreme Court.
Other areas the left is static/non-progressive:
Social Security, they want to keep it “as is” and cry like spoiled brats if anyone mentions change to the system. Same for taxes, lower taxes and they freak out, you’d think Bush and the Right was proposing a mandatory baby seal-beating day every month. Education, hey ask a lefty and the answer they give is MORE money. No change, just more cash, it’s like the tides, this one is sure-fire deal.
The left is incapable of coming up with new reasons for people to oppose Bush all they bring is hate. On important issues facing America the answer is simple; Higher taxes, more control over our lives and less change from the status quo.
Granted the Right has gone from Spending Hawks to Spending Fiends, and for that I am very pissed, but at least they are trying to change some things.
So the next time someone calls them selves a Progressive Liberal Democrat, have a laugh and ask them for any reason aside “regime change” in Washington cause they hate Bush, for people to support them. I bet they give you the same tired answers, the same unwavering support for the status quo.Current Mood:  amused |

In today's parlance, "Don't hate the playa, hate the game"
Government is Not flawed, nor are the people serving in the House, the Senate (or yes, the White House).
Look out on the street, to your friends, your neighbors, the guy driving his car, the mother in her minivan. Therein you will find the fault with American Government.
We the People means something that most have forgotten, too caught up in thier daily lives, people vote what they are told if they vote at all, many take the anger they have for the problems they see and direct it at the "leaders" in Govenment, forgetting THEY are the leaders.
I don't blame the players, I blame those in control of the game, who gave power to people that don't respect it, and I despise the miserable lot that is called "the public"
In this day and age of information, perhaps the truth will come back to the masses, and they will realise the power to fix things is in thier hands. A quiet revolution of ideal will replace the career politicans with those who listen to the people instead of the special interest, who have been there working 9 to 5, week in and week out.
When that day comes, Washington will once again be a place that holds a meaning other then dismay. Until you all realize this, nothing will change, and your anger will be forever wasted in well intended but misguided attempt to actualize the Truth.

Well, I saw it, first showing here in backwards Maine where the theaters.. well they suck okay?
That being said, I will start straight off by stating, this is NOT the book come to life. If you were expecting a faithful Book to film adaptation, you will HATE this movie.
But, as even Mr. Adams pointed out prior to his untimely death in 2001, every iteration of the Guide is a new one. The basic story is there, the actual "how it happens" often changes.
This is soooo very true of the movie. Yes, there are some very "word by word" moments that will make fans of the series smile. But there are a whole slew of new portions that you just.. won't find in the books.
Is this bad, hell no. It rocks. I completely enjoyed this movie. It was funny, off the wall, VERY British and well the spirit of the book and Mr. Adams is through and through felt from start to finish.
If you are a fan of Monty Python type humor, you will really like this movie. If Monty Python makes you gag, go see something else.
For me, the two biggest challenges were Mos Def as Ford (which he pulled of PERFECTLY) and Sam Rockwell as the Big Z. I, as a kid pictured Zaphod played by Mel Brooks, so this took some getting used too. In the end he did a decent job, but I feel he was a bit over the top with the role. But still a good performance none the less.
Final score: 85%Current Mood:  jubilant |

I had an interesting conversation today with an Athiest, he made the statement:
"Or, perhaps, we live in an age where it's finally become socially acceptable to cast off the yoke of religion."
I found this to be a very interesting comment. Insightful really into the thinking of Athiest in general.
I believe in tossing the "Yoke" of religion, I myself have done this, but then my view is far different then his. I tossed the yoke by abandoning the Catholic Church in favor of local, non-demoninational church settings. Small, local, focused not on empowering the church, following man made ceremonies and honor for the Church, but rather a place to Worship God, to let Jesus into my heart, and to love my fellow man.
Organized, large Churches ARE the yoke, and I fully support casting that aside for the true nature of religion. A spiritual connection to God and love for Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
I find the belief he has, that being an athiest is tossing the yoke of religion, I don't see it that way. I see it as rebeling against God, without just cause. One can be free of the yoke as it were, and still be a believer, and a devout follower of Jesus.
And never feel the Yoke of Religion. |

[quote]A professional golf association in America has adopted guidelines that open the door for athletes who were once the opposite sex to compete for championships.
The United States Golf Association announced a new policy March 21 under which "transgender athletes will be eligible to compete two years after having gender reassignment surgery." This policy was established along with "proof of gender guidelines" that a medical committee appointed by the Association will ultimately oversee. AgapePress confirmed the USGA policy change this week.

For all my support of President Bush, this is ONE area I am completely, and 100% against his policies and beliefs. I don't think this is a corporate issue, that’s a red herring argument IMHO. I think this is more an issue of Bush trying to pander to Hispanics and curry favor for their votes. Something I find reprehensible. If I sat down with President Bush for 5 minutes, I would thank him for many things, and then slam him on this issue.

|---|
Michael Newdow, the atheist that sued to ban the Pledge of Allegiance because his daughter had to say "under God"
Instead of just telling his daughter, if it offended him so, not to say "under God" which is his right, he decided the 1st Amendment Rights of ALL Americans should be denied. He lost in court because he was not the child’s legal guardian, and as it turns out, her mother had no problem with the girl saying the Pledge. Imagine that.
Now his sights are set on President Bush and his Inauguration. It turns out Mr. Newdow is very upset that in 2000 President Bush had Ministers PRAYING before ceremony. And that dastardly President Bush is PLANNING TO DO IT AGAIN! Wow imagine that, a Christian man who happens to be President wanting to have religion as part of his Inauguration... just like every President before him. Mr. Newdow along with several other people have filed a lawsuit to stop the President from exercising his constitutionally protected rights of Free Speech and Freedom of Religious Expression.
On what grounds? The simple line that says "Congress shall make no law with respect to establishing a Religion" as we all know, the President's inauguration having a Minister lead a prayer before the ceremony would in fact, create a law establishing a religion.
You want to see the new Fascist of the 21st Century, just take a look at people like Mr. Newdow.

Why progressive ideals are failing.
Americans are seeing, first hand the damage wrought by the progressive left in it’s well meaning, but mis-guided attempt to show tolerance and inclusiveness for all. This Christmas more news stories are popping up showing the unintended consequences of these policies and ideals.
In many schools, the Christmas holiday break is now being called “winter break” or some other absurdly benign moniker. School choirs, pageants and plays are being stripped of all references to Christmas, out of fear of offending those that do not celebrate Christmas. Ninety some odd percent of the country celebrates Christmas, what about those people being offended by their Constitutionally protected rights being trampled on in a rush of politically correct censorship?
What worries me is the effect on the kids. When I went through the public school system, we did celebrate the fact that Christmas was coming while learning about other religions celebrations at the same time. Mainly Hanukah, but we learned that not everyone believed in Christmas. We certainly were not told that a Christmas Tree was a “Community Tree” as recently happened in Wichita1, or were told we could not sing Christmas Carols2.
Today though, that line of thinking is being taken to zealous extremes, but why? Some have suggested, like Mr. O’Rielly 3 that there is a more sinister over reaching plot to secularize America in an attempt to turn the country into another Canada or Holland. I don’t buy this, I do think that there are people that seek this goal, but on the whole, most of the daily practitioners of political correctness are just trying to do what they feel is the right thing to do.
And therein lies the problem. These people have been mis-guided into believing in relative morality, that there is a “wall of separation of church and state” that forbids anyone or organization connected to the federal government from mentioning religion. There are a couple of cases before the Supreme Court4 dealing with the Ten Commandments being displayed on Federal or State property, the Bush Administration pointed out that the Commandments are on a number of public buildings, including the Supreme Court. Yet the lawsuits still prevail.
What ever happened to “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will fight to the death your right to say it?” The progressive left, in it’s blind attempt to force America into their secularist utopia, are driving away more average Americans then anything Karl Rove could come up with.

| » It's time to toss the public school system |
|---|
The Public School system is failing under the weight of it's own ineptitude. Monopolies, as we know, tend to do that. Offer a sub par product at high cost. That's one of the reasons the government tends to break them up, they are bad for the consumer.
So why do people support public education? It's beyond me to understand. America would greatly benefit from a competitive education system, paid for by the government, because that's just the way things must be, but run privately.
But Mr.Vicchio... what the heck are you proposing and how would it work?
Simple, close down each and every public school in America. Offer each school up to private companies to run, and pay them based on the school districts per student costs at the time the public system was shut down.
Then, each new privately ran school would have to openly show their coursework, the teachers experience and education, discipline system, the works. Parents would then choose which school to send their child to based on that. Complete freedom of choice, fueled by competition. This would have the benefit of transparency of how the schools were run, choice by the parents, and results based on the simple rule of competition. The better the school, the more students will apply, the better the school and the education provided, the more other schools will adopt the successful practices of the top schools.
Its a win win situation, parents are assured their child is getting the best education for their money, no one is left on the way side, and our education dollars are well spent. Not the current system of children graduating with a useless piece of paper.
Every year we waste on the public school system is a year of denied success for our children. It's time to forego the failed monopoly of the public schools, and turn to the proven success of competitive results.

| » Diversity and Affermitve Action, racism that needs to end |
|---|
rac·ism
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
[b] 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.[/b]
[URL=http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=racism]http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=racism[/URL]
By using the very definition of Racism, I ask how anyone can honestly support Affermitve action and "diversity enhancement" programs.
I ask this in light of the upcoming election because Senator Kerry supports such and President Bush isn't very keen on them. It's one of the more clear difference between the two parties as a whole.
I am a student of Martin Luther King Jr.: "Judge a man on the merits of his Character, not the color of his skin"
I try to live by those words, and nothing gets my blood boiling more than to hear Republicans called racist... for not supporting programs that are inherently racist.
The true problems that lie at the root of society, poor education, poverty and the like, cannot be solved by programs that ignore these issues in favor giving special treatment to minorites. Its an insult to every man woman and child in America to say that a black person cannot achieve without assistance from a government program.
My favorite example of this is a little scenario I put together, yeah it's a tad simplified but its a pretty good example of how damaging "diversity" and "Affirmitive Action" is in real life.
You and your good friend Pam start high school, you work your TAIL off, Straight A's Honor Roll, advanced classes, the whole shabang. Pam on the other hand, coasts through HS with a B average at best. Pam's a "minority," doesn't matter what minority you pick, any. Your parents are middle class, there is no difference aside your skin color between you.
You both apply to the "Big University" because you both want to pursue the same degree, and Big U is the best in the country for that degree. You are denied, she gets in, WITH a scholarship....
How do you feel the next day, the next week?
Take it the next step, you both graduate, you went to the next best school for the degree, you graduate top honors, she graduates with average grades. You both want to work for Company X. Cause company X is hot hiring people with your degree, they pay well, benefits are top notch. You both are in the running, but you are told "Sorry, you aren't what we are looking for" she gets the job.
Now how do you feel? You end up taking a job with Company Y, less pay, lower benifits... 8 years of hard work for nothing because the government has pushed "diversity" and you aren't the right color.
Well lets take this just one more step.
Company X buys out Company Y, and you and Pam work together for the next five years, you're both high up, but the person just above you retires. The company decides to look in house for a replacement. Its between you, Pam and two others. You know you put in the extra hours, work harder, you had brought in more business whatever... you know, everyone knows you are more qualified all around.
She gets the job, privately, you are told that the Government had come by a month before and complained that the board room lacked "diversity"
Pam's got the big corner office, the 6 figure income... your hard work for the last 18 YEARS is all for naught, because you lack the right skin color.
That's diversity in action.
Racist buisnesses, schools and institutions CAN be delt with, punished, and they SHOULD BE, at every wrong turn. But punishing or rewarding someone based on their skin color is IMHO evil to its core.

George Bush lost the style, presentation side of the debate, hands down. John Kerry came away very polished, very strong, and that is where it stands. But, Kerry also had some factual errors, such as the NYC Subways being shut down during the RNC Convention and such. Bush for his part looked tired and haggard, he couldn't counter or challenge Kerry at several key junctures, and that made Kerry look all the better.
But as the post debate polls state, Kerry won, but Bush still came away more honest, more likable, more believable. The Kerry Supporters have been re-energized and the dynamics of the campaign have changed. Bush can ill afford another "tired" performance in a debate. We shall see this comming Friday night.

| » Where the race stands |
|---|
Before the DNC convention, the GOP had a few talking heads out doing the circuits warning that Kerry was going to get a 10-15% bounce. It’s common for the Challenger in a heated race to do so. Dukakis for example was what 15 or 20 points up in 1988 for example. Even Dole got a bounce. But in a race this tight, 5-10% was more along the lines of conventional wisdom. The GOP was trying, and I think over all they succeeded, in raising the bar too high for Kerry. This is a common PR war tactic practiced by both sides. Unfortunately for Sen. Kerry, he received at most a 3 point "bounce" if you want to call it that. Something that even the GOP faithful dared to believe would happen.
Then the SBVFT ads hit, at first there was no discernable reaction, aside the predictable reaction from talk radio and internet bloggers. But as Kerry failed to react and counter the ads, the National Media had to pick up the story, it was generating too much heat. This of course has given rise to the complaint the SBVFT have been receiving millions in free airtime. Perhaps they have, but they have not because the media so much agreed with them, but because of the Senators poor handling of the challenge.
Then the RNC convention rolled in, and most observers felt Bush would get a 5-point bounce. Typically the incumbent receives a smaller bounce then the challenger then the polls drift back and forth between the two until the debates. According to the latest TIME magazine, and Newsweek polls, Bush has opened an 11-13 point bounce from the convention. I really do not think anyone but the most die hard GOP fanatics believed such would occur. We are told after all that this is a close race and the country is split almost 50-50.
I think when the election is over, and people have a chance to look back at the race, it's going to be apparent that it was not the SBVFT ads, or the book even that mattered all that much. Considering the dozens of anti-bush ads and books that have been blasting the public for the last year, so much as Kerry's response. At the DNC Convention the best speaker was Obama, his speech was foreword looking and positive. This resonated with a number of people and was well received by the DNC base as well as more moderate Republicans.
Senator Kerry on the other hand, talked about the past, specifically, his childhood, his service in Vietnam, a brief mention of his Senate career and not much more then promises with little substance on the future. It was noted before the convention that Senator Kerry had a problem if he had to use the convention as his "get to know me" moment. Unfortunately for him the SBVFT raised serious questions about his convention cornerstone, and he has to this point, singularly failed to deal with the issue.
Asking voters, as he did during an interview with ABC, to wait until he was elected President to hear the details of his plans for dealing with Iraq, the economy and bringing in more allies hasn't garnered the Senator much in the way of support. Presidential elections are job interviews to the public, and the perspective employers want some details, not just promises.

| » Why the SBVFT ads have been so effective |
|---|
I was thinking about this, and the obvious truth that 1 million or so in advertising by these 250 men have rocked the campaign as much as they have far more then the 60 Million + by left wing 527 groups, and it boils down to who the message is aimed at.
The Moveon.org, ACT.org and other left wing 527 groups are just preaching to the choir, Bush is terrible, re-electing him will end the world... its an extremely partisan message that well, hits a home run with those that agree with the message, and is written off by everyone else.
The SBVFT on the other hand, have effectively conveyed their message to a broad spectrum of the public. Their message while negative against Kerry, has resonated with the voters, left right and center. If Kerry had been more effective in dealing with the ads, had a more honest approach aside trying to shut them down with legal scare tactics, I think the SBVFT ads would not have had the power they have.
While the questions raised in the ads has proven to be effective, there is, as the military would say, a force multiplier, in Kerry's apparent dishonesty. It's obvious to many that the best course of action for Kerry would be to file a Libel suit against the SBVFT, and release all 100 remaining documents in his record. That he refuses to take this course of action only adds weight to the SBVFT claims. Kerry banked on the media being able to cover for him, instead his delay has cost him in the ever more prominent polls. President Bush is going into the RNC convention with a positive movement in the polls, and could come out with a "bounce" where as Kerry had a blip.
Kerry is going to have to face the SBVFT charges, openly and in a hostile environment to prove he has the moral courage to be president, otherwise his only hope is that Bush blows it in the debates, or there is significant negative news on the economy and Iraq in the last weeks of the election. Its never a good political strategy when you have to hope for bad news and your opponent dropping the ball.

| » The Convention |
|---|
During the RNC convention, I don’t see Bush, or anyone mentioning the SBVFT. This is not because they aren’t enjoying watching Mr. Kerry squirm left and right trying to dodge the blows lobbed at him, rather to marginalize Kerry’s attempt to tie Bush to the group. This is a rather dangerous tactic for Senator Kerry to take. Considering the DNC’s well documented ties to left wing 527 groups, and his own failure to fire staffers working hand in hand with some of the groups. It’s going to continue to peg Kerry as a whiner, and the American people are not impressed by a rich whiner.
Speaking of the convention, I still fear an attack on the second of September. I hope I am being paranoid, and I know security is going to be Fortress America tight, but with all the idiot protesters trying to disrupt the convention, they may unwittingly, or wittingly depending on the group, weakening security and giving the real threat a free shot at the Convention. I would not be surprised if they hit NYC, several various economic targets, and oil refineries and power plants. It’s both symbolic, in that if they were to succeed, they could point to the attacks as proof we cannot “beat them” and as a recruitment tool. I do hope I am wrong, we shall see.
I plan on kicking back, and watching the convention and hitting the various forums to gauge the reaction of my fellow political junkies. Rudy should bring down the house, and Zell Millers speech will be one to remember, but Bush is going to have to really knock one out of the park to make the convention worth the effort. I do though, have little fear of him standing before the delegates and doing something stupid like “Report for Duty” I still chuckle thinking about that stunt.

| » Kerry's continued implosion |
|---|
Do you know what I love about politics? Watching the opposition imploding under the weight of their own ineptitude. John Kerry could stop the SBVFT, dead in their tracks, file a libel suit and BAM! A judge orders an injunction and the book sales stop, the ads stop.. its all over, so sad too bad, adios SBVFT.
But to do that he would also have to PROVE the charges as false, and therein lies the catch. Kerry has over 100 documents still remaining in his naval records, these are at the heart of the SBVFT claims at least those in regard to his service in Vietnam, that he would be forced to release to prove his case. John Kerry is doing everything in his power to fight the release of those records.
An army of lawyers, letters to Regnery Publishing demanding they pull the book, letters to Wal-Mart, Barnes and Nobles and other book sellers, sending Max Cleland to Crawford, all signs of candidate Kerry’s desperate attempt to deflect the SBVFT charges. It isn’t working. Now John Kerry is trying to box Bush into a corner and get him to denounce the SBVFT. I don’t see this tactic doing him much good, though he can waste his time and his efforts pursuing that angle, all it does is bring to light Mr. Kerry’s obvious desperation.
The mainstream press also has to jump through hoops to defend their preferred candidate. The New York Times weak attempt to connect the Bush team to the SBVFT might have some traction, if it were not for two things, Bush has fired or been given resignation letters from two men for connections to the SBVFT. Kerry and the DNC on the other hand, are linked hand in hand with such illustrious groups as MoveOn.org and American’s Coming Together. All the media is doing is highlighting the bias they claim not suffer from. The double standard of the mainstream press, is glaring, and Kerry’s frantic and sad responses to the SBVFT only makes matters worse.
Pass the popcorn, Kerry’s implosion is a tragic comedy of errors, another Massachusetts Liberal is collapsing, so sit back and enjoy the show.

The Kerry Campaign is calling for Unfit for Command, #1 best selling book on amazing at the moment, to be banned. Where is the liberal “free speech” crowd now?
The more the Kerry Campaign tries to silence its critics, the more glaring the obvious becomes. Kerry could prove the SBVFT are liars by releasing his full records, but he refuses to do so. Personally, I think it’s almost sad to see the Democrats in this pathetic quandary.
The media has some accounting of its own, first they ignore the SBVFT, then they join the Kerry Camp in attacking them, one must only wonder how much longer they can go before the public starts to question the media’s coverage of the ballooning scandal.
I really would like to see how the media would react if President Bush were to come out demanding that Michael Moore’s movie Fahrenheit 911 be pulled from theaters due to the falsehoods portrayed in the movie.
Kerry is going to have to release his records, there is no other way to end this, that he does not, and the media has refused to demand that he does, is ample proof that Kerry is hiding something, and the media is AWOL in its duty to seek the truth.

The media's anemic coverage of the SBVFT is, to say the least, both telling and pathetic at the same time. Joe Wilson, media darling and harsh Bush critic, has been completely destroyed credibility wise, by the 9/11 commission. Yet at the time of his sensational charges, the Media had his face, his claims all over the airwaves, the front pages and the internet. By their very lack of coverage they are showing their bias, which they claim not to have. Any reasonable observer would have to question how the media can claim to be unbiased when they jumped onto the Joe Wilson lies and proclaimed them as scathing indictments of the President, yet do little more then attack 250+ Vietnam Veterans as Republican attack dogs.
Senator Kerry has twice now suffered humiliation from the charges of the SBVFT, the first being his Cambodia claims, and now its become quite clear that one of his 13 paid Band of Brothers, Rev. David Alston, a character witness for Sen. Kerry at the DNC Convention.. Served maybe the last week to ten days. Rev. Alston was medivac'd out of the area on 28 January 1969 after being wounded along with his OIC in combat. Sen. Kerry took command of the vessel THE NEXT DAY. He returned to the boat in March within two weeks of the Senator departing.

Where is the media on this? Where are the hard nosed unbiased reporters? Of course, its obvious they are out trying to prove what evil vicious lying sacks of dirt the SBVFT really are, they don't have the personal integrity to admit that their Hero has so far suffered two direct hits on his credibility. If the situation were reversed, 250+ ANG veterans had banded together calling President Bush unfit, its quite clear they would be on a raised and untouchable pedestal of gold.
Fortunately for the rest of us, the day of reckoning is coming. Unfit for Command is the #1 best seller on Amazon, as more people read this, as more obvious and not so obvious lies of come to light, the media is going to feel the heat, but more importantly, even their partisan nature and desires can only be held in check for so long. Eventually, one of their ranks is going to demand the obvious, Senator Kerry, release your records, and the dam will break. A scandal of this magnitude cannot stay contained for long.
It will be interesting to see what happens at that point. Sen. Kerry will be forced to tell the media they are not allowed to see his records, and that will only fuel the fire, if does release them all, or someone obtains them through... less legal channels, and Sen. Kerry is forced out of the race.. what will the Democrats do? Put Edwards at the top? Ask Dean to step in? Recruit the "reluctant" Sen. Clinton to carry the banner?
We shall see soon enough.
