Kerry has a great record and leads Bush in today's new poll even with Nader in the race. He has a surprising lead in Ohio and Florida, both must-win states for Bush. It will be a tough race due to Bushie mud-slinging and disinformation campaigns but Kerry will win. The American People want a change, even if some aren't ready to admit it yet. We cannot afford four more years of Bush-Cheney. Don't forget Kerry also has the luxury of a VP pick soon. That will give him another boost in the polls. Bush is looking at the end of June as his date for Iraqi independence. It won't work. He planned it too poorly. That may signal the end for the neocons. They blew it on every single level. And they lied to us over and over and over.

Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye, chairman of the Senate's defense appropriations subcommittee, was even more harsh. Foreshadowing the eventual 75-20 vote against Mr. Kerry's amendment, which even 70 percent of Democrats opposed, including Sen. Ted Kennedy, Mr. Inouye asserted that Mr. Kerry's proposed $4 billion defense cut was "simply unsupportable." Citing no less than the support of Bill Clinton, Mr. Inouye rebuked Mr. Kerry for his attempt to unilaterally eliminate the Trident D-5 submarine-missile program. On the Senate floor, Mr. Inouye charged Mr. Kerry with being shortsighted by cutting the Titan 4 missile-launch system, which was "the only system that can launch, for example, MILSTAR satellites, defense support program satellites and certain classified payloads." Echoing Mr. DeConcini, Mr. Inouye asserted that Mr. Kerry's attempt to cut $1 billion from the intelligence budget "would severely hamper the intelligence community's ability to provide decision-makers and policy-makers with information on matters of vital concern to this country."
