If there is a God, he will make this come to pass.

Of course, one could argue Kerry may have already cost Kerry the election, so it is going to be hard to know who to give the credit to.

Can you please make that correction? Thanks!

BTW, he has a place to talk politics, it would seem.

This is why, while I am still a liberal, I can no longer consider myself a man of the left. (Although conservatives seem constantly disappointed that I won’t walk over and join their side–sorry guys, we just disagree on too many things).

That anyone would still be trying to defend these almost certainly forged memos is ridiculous. It is a sign of huge desperation on the left’s part that they feel the need to defend this, that they’re so desperate and so short on issues that they feel they have to have this National Guard business to have a chance to win. That’s really what they think, it was their desperation ploy, their “revenge for the Swift Boat Vets” response and, while it was always a long shot (very few people care about Bush’s National Guard service), it’s now blown up in their faces. Of course they’re desperate, and of course they’ll lash out.

It won’t occur to them that their real problem is that they have no coherent or resonant message for most voters, and that this gets clearer every day. Until they admit this, recognize it, and correct it, they’ll constantly be thrashing about and lashing out.

Will this Dan Rather business cost Kerry the election? Probably not. If Kerry loses, it’s because Kerry’s a lousy candidate with no clear message or principles besides “Bush sucks.”

As for the Dan Rather business: I do wonder if the issue won’t wind up being forgotten in the wake of the 9/11 anniversary and the new Florida hurricane. But I kind of doubt it will be.

Aside from the disbelieving stares Thomas and the other panelist (white, liberal, female) gave Phillips, the debate was kinda normal.

Then the topic turned to Aff. Action. Phillips was against it, and Thomas, I sh!t you not, turned to Phillips and said (paraphrased somewhat, can’t find a transcript):

“Now, I’m from the South, and maybe YOU DON’T KNOW, but racism was a problem down there for quite some time.”

here’s a picture of Thomas

Even Miller was stunned and at the end of the segment said to the effect of: “You can really see the extent of white liberalism when they are trying to explains racism TO A BLACK MAN!!!”

It was awesome.

Since all this is based on military experience and being CINC (commander-in-chief), let’s look at some other persons from history:

Abe Lincoln – never faught in war however commanded

FDR – never faught in war however commanded

Timothy McVeigh – Gulf I Vet and Terrorist (left Army with Honorable Discharge and was a model Infantry Soldier, shocked most former military commanders and wo-workers who had not seen him since he left the Army with the terrorist act he committed)

The point is, what someone did years ago may have absolutely nothing to do with who they are today and then again maybe it will.

I know I am preaching to the choir:-) however everytime I hear the liberals say Kerry’s combat service qualifies him to be CINC, I say yeah… qualifies him just as much as it did Tim McVeigh using that lame analogy.

I am surprised more people aren’t creating their own forgeries of the forgery to help prove the facts.
