Perhaps a repeat, but a necessary one: This is worth looking at, of course you know the history anyway. Sen. John Kerry, Democrat from Massachusetts says he is strongest Presidential Candidate on National Defense ! He said Check the Record.. We Did ! Here is what we learned. He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank He voted to kill every Aircraft carrier laid down from 1988 He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system He voted to Kill the F-15 strike eagle He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16 He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade He voted to Kill the B-1 He voted to Kill the B-2 He voted to Kill the Patriot anti Missile system He voted to Kill the FA-18 He voted to Kill the B-2 He voted to Kill the F117 He voted to kill every military appropriation for the development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988, including a bill for battle armor for our troops. It is most likely, with Sen. John Kerry as President and Commander in Chief of our Armed Services, that they will cease to function making it impossible for our country to protect itself John Kerry voted to kill all anti-terrorism activities of each and every agency of the U.S. Government. He voted to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, He voted to cut the funding for the CIA by 80% He voted to cut the funding for the NSA by 80%. THEN, and this is abhorant to almost every American Voter be you Democrat, Republican or Independent He voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800% !! Ask yourself Is THIS a the person you want as President of these United States providing for the Common Defense of the Nation and be the Leader of the Free World ?

Each morning, a group of mostly twentysomethings gathers around a conference table. Notepads in hand, they engage in a freewheeling discussion about national news stories in the morning papers and issues of importance in 17 critical states around the country. They devise a rapid-response plan to political events scheduled for that day and assemble a list of anti-Bush or pro-Democrat stories to push to hundreds of print and broadcast media outlets.... And on it goes, through a checklist of stories and issues. "Push back" on Republican spin here; highlight stories that are critical of the Bush administration there. Lesmerises, whom Jordan later describes as a "walking encyclopedia," suggests ideas for research. They agree they should assemble background information on all of the Bush surrogates who will be appearing in Boston this week. That is precisely what AS does. He posts the latest stories and talking points and then hammers, hammers, hammers.
