It's clear, to me at least, what's happening, here.

Kerry's Democrats cannot fault Mr. Bush on what he did in response to 9/11 any longer... though they did most certainly make the attempt. So what they're trying to do now is to claim he didn't do enough BEFORE 9/11.

That's the main thrust of the partisan attack leveled by Clarke, et al, and the center of the discussion as regards Condi Rice.

I find this an interesting tactic. More properly, a desperate one.

Think; What Kerry's really doing is providing a tacit admission that Clinton's policy of a 'law enforcement' approach was an abject failure. He's doing this because the main thrust of his argument seems to be that Bush continued to follow Clinton's policy... or, put another way, that Bush didn't move away from Clinton's policy fast enough once taking office.

What's particularly striking about this is that it's Clinton's failed policy that Kerry wants us to return to.

If John Kerry has the time to ski for a week he definitly has the time to do his job and vote in the Senate.

If George W.Bush has time to take the entire month of August off to clear brush at his new ranch, he definitely (note correct spelling)has the time to do his job and prevent the country from being attacked by terrorists.

Not only does this blog suck, it seems as though the regular commentors are stupid, too. Quelle surprise!

Michael - Given his record, I would rather he stayed on the slopes

Wow Deja vu!

Wow Deja vu!

And "Tell the truth.. etc"

...way to raise the level of discourse, mon frère.

The more and more I write for my webpage, read other blogs and interact with liberals, it is becoming clear to me that liberal never make spelling errors. Never. Anytime a conservative makes a spelling or grammatical error, everything goes to hell because obviously the person is stupid.

Let's get a few things straight here. Liberals make grammatical and spelling errors, as well, but I never call them stupid for it. Also, this is not an english paper I'm writing for a class. This is a comment on an internet weblog.

Really, liberals attack conservatives if they misspell a word because there is nothing else to attack them on. We all know conservative positions are much more robust.

Michael you may not remember what middle school was like, with spelling tests every week, but for kids like that one up there who are living it, with spelling tests every week, those spelling errors by others really leap off a page.

for "Tell the Truth..."

Could you please elaborate on which terrorist attack that ocurred in the US during Bush's August time on his ranch that he should have prevented?

Was watching the news this morning, listening to Kerry ramble out his french. Make fun of my freedom fries? That butthead! Hmm, I think, in my own lil way, that Kerry is out to do nothing more than make the US a liberal little pussy country like. Kerry and War...He would make us tuck in our tails and run.... Yay for Bush... At least he speaks spanish = ) Not that I care
