This election may well tear this country apart. And it’s all in the hands of John Kerry whether or not to do so. We will all know where to lay the blame if he does.

Unlike the former vice president, who lost a recount fight and the 2000 election, Kerry will be quick to declare victory on election night and begin defending it. He also will be prepared to name a national security team before knowing whether he’s secured the presidency.

…Gore prematurely conceded the 2000 race to George W. Bush (search), then had to retract his concession after aides said Florida wasn’t lost. He never declared victory, an omission Kerry’s advisers — many of whom worked for Gore — now believe created a sense of inevitability in voters’ minds about Bush’s presidency.foxnews.com

This is not a good sign for the spread of democracy– the destruction of it here in the United States at the hands of Democrats.

Six so-called “SWAT teams” of lawyers and political operatives will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry’s orders to speed to a battleground state. The teams have been told to be ready to fly on the evening of the election to begin mounting legal and political fights. No team will be more than an hour from a battleground.

The Kerry campaign has office space in every battleground state, with plans so detailed they include the number of staplers and coffee machines needed to mount legal challenges.

“Right now, we have 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on Election Day, and that number is growing by the day,” said Michael Whouley, a Kerry confidant who is running election operations at the Democratic National Committee.

Kerry is a fakir and a fraud. His campaign: half-truths and allusions. He makes great effort to appear strong, to talk tough, but it’s a con game.

For instance, how does Kerry explain his 2002 vote authorizing President Bush to use force against Iraq? He says he voted only to ‘threaten the use of force’. In 1991 he said such a vote would be dangerous and flawed.

In 1991, to those who said voting for war with Iraq would “give the administration leverage to force Hussein out of Kuwait,” Kerry responded, “That thinking is dangerous … and flawed. … This is not a vote about sending a message. It is a vote about war.” slate.msn.com

This is Kerry’s record. Talk tough when politically necessary, but don’t follow through when it counts.

Three weeks after Iraq invaded Kuwait, Kerry said he supported President Bush’s swift deployment of troops to the region and the administration’s insistence that Hussein pull out. But he said Hussein should be given more diplomatic wiggle room for withdrawal. “My greatest fear is this issue is too much box and not enough capacity to move out,” Kerry told editors and reporters at the Boston Globe on August 27, 1990. “That line is pointing in a very dangerous direction.” centriststation.com

When it comes down to it Kerry will not hesitate to refuse to take strong action when strong action is needed. The first gulf war appears to fit all the criteria Kerry reviles George W. Bush for not meeting, including his ‘global test’, yet the First Gulf War got a failing grade. “On CBS’s This Morning before the first Gulf War, Kerry said, “I’m convinced we’re doing this the wrong way.” If the first Gulf war didn’t pass his ‘global test’ what would?

We don’t know because Kerry can’t tell us. That would ruin the con and blow the illusion. He can only say that Bush did it all wrong, that he would have done it better, smarter, and more effectively. That more time, more talks, more resolutions, more allies, more stalling, and more wiggle room for the dictator is in order. Kerry talks a tough game, but threatening the use of force and never actually carrying it through makes issuing such threats a worthless and feeble endeavor. If the police were never actually willing to go into a house to catch a criminal, issuing warrants would not make us any safer.

Kerry’s arguments against war are equally empty whether it is the First Gulf War or the Last. Kerry regarding the First Gulf War:

In his lengthy speech . . . he repeatedly criticized Bush and his “unilateral” rush to war. “We are in this position today because the president of the United States made a series of decisions that have put us in this position.” With economic sanctions tightening their grip on Iraq, “there is no one who suggests that Saddam Hussein is winning anything today,” Kerry said. centriststation.com

The con is that Kerry says he is ready and willing to go to war… when circumstances warrant it. What he won’t say is that his circumstances don’t exist. He cannot afford to be honest on this issue because he would lose crucial support with Americans. If it were up to Kerry, Saddam Hussein would still be in power and he would control Iraq and Kuwait along with immense Arab stature he would have achieved in getting away with murder.

Kerry said that sanctions hadn’t been given enough time, there wasn’t a sufficient coalition, the American people were unable to accept the heavy casualties the would result, and that a war would destabilize the Middle East.

Kerry said he was “willing to accept the horror that goes with war” but only “when the interests or stakes warrant it.” washingtonpost.com

Kerry says he would defend this country just like he did as a young man. This is undoubtedly meant to conjure up an image of Kerry as a forward-leaning military hawk, but it’s another example of his tough talk facade. What comes to my mind when he says this is the unbridled effort he put into discrediting US soldiers as war criminals and the Vietnam War as an illegitimate war along with fellow traveler Ramsey Clark. Which is the real John Kerry: hawk or anti-war hero?

This quote about Clinton’s unilateral war in Bosnia is instructive. Kerry puts a higher value on the morality, goodness, and exceptionalism of the UN than he does the United States. So much so that if our soldier’s deaths are to have worth it needs to happen under the blue flag of the UN.

“If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yes, it is worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome, the answer is unequivocally no.” washingtonpost.com

John Kerry, April 17th of 1994 on CNN’s Late Edition discussing when US soldiers deaths have significance.

If you mean dying in the course of the United Nations effort, yeah, it’s worth that. If you mean dying American troops unilaterally going in with some false presumption that we can affect the outcome the answer is unequivocally no. So I think it’s a question of where you place the interest. rushlimbaugh.com

Via Drudge. In this USA Today interview with Tereza Heinz-Kerry, ‘Teray-zah’ says that Laura’s never had a real job, “since she’s been grown up”.

Incredible.

Q: You’d be different from Laura Bush?

A: Well, you know, I don’t know Laura Bush. But she seems to be calm, and she has a sparkle in her eye, which is good. But I don’t know that she’s ever had a real job — I mean, since she’s been grown up. So her experience and her validation comes from important things, but different things. And I’m older, and my validation of what I do and what I believe and my experience is a little bit bigger — because I’m older, and I’ve had different experiences. And it’s not a criticism of her. It’s just, you know, what life is about. usatoday.com

Brilliant. Genius. Savant. Being from a higher plane of existence. Saint.

All of these things Carter is not.

But really, let’s examine this quote for just a second. Let it soak into your brain palate for a moment until it gives your operating system the blue screen of death.

The revolutionary war was unneccesary because the British were misled into war? The depth of Carter’s insight underwhelms me. Might as well say all of history should be interpreted in light of your present political opposition to Bush.

CARTER: Well, one parallel is that the Revolutionary War, more than any other war up until recently, has been the most bloody war we‘ve fought. I think another parallel is that in some ways the Revolutionary War could have been avoided. It was an unnecessary war.

Had the British Parliament been a little more sensitive to the colonial‘s really legitimate complaints and requests the war could have been avoided completely, and of course now we would have been a free country now as is Canada and India and Australia, having gotten our independence in a nonviolent way.

I think in many ways the British were very misled in going to war against America and in trying to enforce their will on people who were quite different from them at the time. msnbc.com

Did anyone else get the fact that: “we would have been a free country now”? If only… if only… “we would have gotten our independence in a non-violent way.” This is a mind blower. Am I cracked or is Carter saying that America is somehow less free, or less of something because we achieved our independence through violence?

There is so much wrong in these few paragraphs that it boggles the mind.

“John Kerry Tried to Stop You From Seeing This Film”

Sinclair Broadcasting will air only parts of this video in swing states before the election. Liberals who think not giving money to artists who put bull whips up their ass as a public art show and who put crucifixes in urine is somehow abridging their free speech want the FCC to censor, i.e. forbid anyone from airing this video on TV, and threatened to sue, and said they would be punished once Kerry was elected!

I thought Kerry was proud of his anti-war activities?

  TEHRAN: Iran’s hardline Basij militia has written to UN secretary general Kofi Annan to ask if the Islamic republic can send observers to the US presidential election in November, a government newspaper said on Monday.

  “By this symbolic request, we want to ridicule the so-called democratic slogans of the American leaders,” a Basij official, Said Toutunshian, told the Iran newspaper.

  “We want to say to the whole world that the presence of observers from the Islamic republic of Iran, the most democratic regime in the world, is necessary to guarantee the smooth running of the American elections.”
