Kerry 'Going in Strong' to Next Round

[Feanorcurufinwe]

Fueled by another victory and a slew of endorsements from high-profile Democrats, John Kerry said Wednesday that his campaign was "going in strong" into the upcoming round of nominating contests next week. "We're going in in a competitive position," Kerry told reporters traveling on his campaign airplane.

Kerry told reporters Wednesday he was "thrilled" with the endorsements but that he would continue to campaign on the economy and health care.


"These are the real things that matter to Americans," he said. "I'm a guy who doesn't give up. I'm going to fight for people."

After a night at home, Kerry appeared relaxed, tossing a football with aides on his airplane and talking about arranging a hockey exhibition with the Detroit Red Wings. He held a similar show in New Hampshire last weekend with the Boston Bruins.

6. The suggestion that Kerry doesn't care about our war dead is distasteful.

[Democrats unite]

7. Maybe a little more thought should have went into his vote.

After all he is a career politician!

8. Another offensive suggestion.

12. Sometimes the truth hurts

Deal with it! The familes have to.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

15. It is wrong, and offensive.

Deal with it.

9. Folks who make insensitive remarks like that don't need a reason.

They are so full of hate. I don't hate. But i am one passionate advocate for what I believe in. I just don't think you elevate your candidate by tearing the others down.

[Democrats unite]

14. You are correct I hate the people that Gave GWB the power...

to do this stupid no good WAR! Hence Kerry! You want to support someone who helped in this God forsaken mess, be my guest. I won't be no part of it & I will scream it from the mountain tops and where ever I can.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

16. Have you ever heard of the War Powers Act?

Bush had the power. Bush has the power. He has the power right now to attack Chile or Canada if he wants.


Blame Kerry if you want, but you are wrong.


This is who you should be screaming at:

17. You need to bone up on your civics!

Only Congress can declare war! Thats why Vietnam was a police action. It helps to understand our Government.

On edit: and to help you out , I will point you in the right direction.

10. Clark shouldn't have recommended it

"...But it was a signal warning about Saddam Hussein: he is not only malevolent and violent, but also unpredictable. He retains his chemical and biological warfare capabilities and is actively pursuing nuclear capabilities. Were he to acquire such capabilities, we and our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks. Saddam might use such weapons as a deterrent while launching attacks against Israel or his neighbors, he might threaten American forces in the region, he might strike directly against Israel, or Israel, weighing the possibilities of nuclear blackmail or aggression, might feel compelled to strike Iraq first.

Saddam has been pursuing nuclear weapons for over twenty years. According to all estimates made available he does not now have these weapons. The best public assessment is that if he were to acquire fissionable material he might field some type of weapon within two years. If he has to enrich the uranium ore itself, then a period of perhaps five years might be required. But what makes the situation relatively more dangerous today is that the UN weapons inspectors, who provided some assistance in impeding his development programs, have been absent from Iraq for over four years. And the sanctions regime, designed to restrict his access to weapons materials and the resources needed to procure them, has continuously eroded. At some point, it may become possible for Saddam to acquire the fissionable materials or uranium ore that he needs. And therefore, Iraq is not a problem that can be indefinitely postponed..."

The United States diplomacy in the United Nations will be further strengthened if the Congress can adopt a resolution expressing US determination to act if the United Nations will not. The use of force must remain a US option under active consideration. The resolution need not at this point authorize the use of force, but simply agree on the intent to authorize the use of force, if other measures fail.

18. First Post !

Long time lurker, figured I'd better jump in. Seen here before, but I can't emphasize more; Get out the VOTE! ABB in 2004. If Kerry is our man, well than he should have all our support. Kudos to all Democratic candidates for going up against the regime.
Nuff said.
