IT'S KERRY Well ... the battle now seems to be joined. The most liberal Senator in the United States Senate, the most liberal Senator from Massachusetts, is going to be the Democratic nominee. Today John Edwards will drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination. He will then wait patiently for the call from Kerry to be his vice-Presidential nominee. Never, in modern history, have the Democrats crowned their prince this early in an open primary season. This campaign has a long way to go ... and many things will become known about John Kerry that aren't known right now. Perhaps, though, you would like to respond to just a few thoughts: The choice here is going to be crystal clear. It's a choice between a man who believes in the sovereignty of the United States, and a man who seeks to subordinate the sovereignty of the United States to the authority of the United Nations. It will be a choice between a man who wants to treat Islamic terrorism as a law enforcement problem, and one who wants to treat it as a war. A choice between a man who wants to arrest Islamic terrorists and send them before international courts for trial, and a man who wants to send the U.S. Marines to find these terrorists and kill them. We'll have a choice between a man who respects the men and women of our armed forces, and a man who called them killers and rapists even while they were still dying in the jungles of Vietnam. John Kerry seems to think that his four months of service in Vietnam inoculates him against any criticism of his defense-related voting record during his 19 years in the U.S. Senate. John Kerry will say that anyone who criticizes that voting record is attacking his patriotism. Only the type of mind that would vote for a Democrat would believe that. Democrats ran to the polls and voted for Kerry largely for one reason and one reason only: because they hate Bush. Propelled solely by this hatred, they probably haven't stopped for just a minute to consider exactly what they are voting for. They got what they wanted, a front-loaded primary process where the nominee was chosen in six weeks. Now they can "get Bush." The only problem? Most Democrats have no idea what they voted for. We get to spend the next 8 months reminding them. Do they know that John Kerry considers the war on terror a mistake? Do they realize that he believes terrorism is "a law enforcement problem?" Are they aware that Kerry has flip-flopped on every major issue? Is their hatred of Bush so all-consuming that they are blind to the issues the country faces? Do they realize John Kerry would raise their taxes? Increase the deficit? Probably not. It's all about hating Bush. Facts don't matter and neither does the future of the country. It's all emotionally-based. But that's why we call them liberals. With the nominee no longer uncertain, it will be interesting to see if the media picks apart Kerry's record. He has 19 years worth of votes to explain. And what about all of the campaign contributions? We've already had a few of those scandals surface. They seemed to have been swept under the rug and explained away by the Vietnam magic wand. That's what Kerry does if you back him into a corner on an issue, he reminds you of his service in Vietnam. Do you see the way I titled this section of the Nuze? If you see those words at the top of the Nuze on November 3rd you will know that our Republic is in one helluva mess. It's going to be an incredible eight months. I think I'll go ahead and cancel my summer vacation now. boortz.com
