Year: 2004

If you haven’t checked out the Kerry Spot, you should. Take a close look at the “Kerry Waffles” section on the right sidebar. Great stuff. 

Saddam actually paid off French leaders to have sanctions removed and U.S. policies opposed. How much? $1.78 billion – with a “B”. And they’re allies of the United States? Reprehensible.

Ho Chi Chirac is an idiot.

Kerry leads in newspaper endorsements around the country – but who reads these anymore? A rather outdated tradition if you ask me. In fact, how many people actually wait to make up their mind on how they’re going to vote until they see who their local paper endorses? Perhaps it’s an insecurity thing? I can hear them now. “Oh, I’m just not sure who I’m going to vote for…now if I could just read that my local newspaper wants Kerry to win, well then, that would really make me feel so much better.” Is that really how it goes? I’d love to talk to someone who depends on these in order to make up their mind. No endorsement has ever swayed my vote.

A new AP-Ipsos Public Affairs poll shows that the Kerry/Edwards team now has a lead in the presidential race. I think this one could be fairly accurate now that the results of the first Bush/Kerry debate have clearly sunk into the electorate. Most voters who watched the debate concur that Kerry won on style, while Bush won on substance. RealClear Politics still shows a Bush lead in a national average of all polls – 48 to 46 percent.  

…our dear friend Tony.

I really wish Bush or Cheney would talk more about our Australian allies. These guys have really towed the line for America…in so many ways. Now, John Howard is fighting for his political life. He could have caved, but he hasn’t, even amongst increasing public outcry over the war in Iraq. Howard is a true friend of America.

Here’s a great article on the Kerry/Edwards attitude regarding taxes.

Quick – read this one too.
