and kerry is still a loser.... Did you catch this on Lindy's thread? Kerry, a pompous windbag.. LMAO!! So true.. Message 21941249 ...As it happens, the Democrats aren’t sincere. They aren’t anywhere in the vicinity of sincerity. When they call for withdrawal from Iraq, as Nancy Pelosi did again in a response to the President’s speech, they are damaging their country. As the President pointed out, this is obvious. No Democrat has even tried to argue that scheduling a withdrawal would not have the consequences the President outlined. We must conclude that the Democrats know they are working counter to America’s interests at the same time they present themselves as patriotic public servants. This is the antithesis of sincerity. The Democrats are, in fact, so insincere that they will not even acknowledge their own words, let alone defend them. Senator John Kerry, responding on behalf of his party, whined that Democrats never wanted a timetable for withdrawal, just a timetable for success. This is the same Senator Kerry who, on October 27, 2005, called for an immediate withdrawal of 20,000 troops with the great bulk of the remainder to follow by the end of 2006. The Washington Post certainly thought Kerry was proposing a timetable for withdrawal. It noted that Kerry was “the highest-profile figure in either party to back a timetable for withdrawal in Iraq.” Maybe Kerry is so complex and profound that even the Washington Post cannot follow his interlocking nuances. On the other hand, he just might be a pompous windbag without even enough wit to gesture in the direction of consistency. Pompous windbag seems about right to me. Kerry didn’t try to reconcile what he said in October with what he said in November. Nor did he bother to explain how the President might be able to provide a timetable for success without consulting Ms. Clio. His speech was, as usual, nothing but bland, meaningless mush. It is incredible that Kerry ever rose above trying dog bite cases in Boston. In a sense, he never did...

Bush/Cheney/Delay/Frist/Rove are the real losers. All five will now end up either in prison, impeached or forced to resign in disgrace. Even if they escape the worst punishments, their legacies are permanently polluted by their own lies, corruption, greed and errors. Meanwhile, Kerry is not only vindicated and proven right on all the big issues, but he's standing tall as the #1 democratic leader, a voice the country respects, believes, trusts and wishes were in the White House. Whether that means he'll ever be president is not the question. But his vindication is important for our democracy. He was the one who told the truth and waged the honest campaign. He lost in 2004, but mainly due to foul play by the GOP, so he wins over the longer run. Truly, Kerry's only mistake (as we can now plainly see) was ever taking Bush-Cheney at their word. Those who showed that kind of respect for the president after 9-11 now regret it. It's a tragedy for this country that, once again like in 1964, we have a presdient so arrogant as to perp a big fat lie to the American people and congress in order to wage a costly war against a country which never attacked us, then occupy that country without an exit plan and get stuck in the midst of a civil war.
