Omnipotent and Omniscient?

This kind of obnoxious demagoguery is one of many reasons that I cannot pull the lever for Kerry for president.

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Thursday if he were president he would not be "the last to know what is going on in my command..."

Like most or all of Kerry's promises, there are scant details on how he thinks that he could make such a guarantee.

Kerry is a dolt. Frankly, Rand, that business about:

"I don't own an SUV, but I do ride in my wife's"

is rather more stupid that the above, at least IMHO.

Don't worry, very, very few people (even the most leftie of the left) will be voting FOR John Kerry.

And look at the bright side, there is NO WAY John Kerry is a two termer. He can kiss and make up with the Euro-weenies and in 2008 the GOP can put in someone else who can again kick terrorist butt.

Its kinda a schizo-good cop/bad cop thing, only there is just one cop.

"I don't own an SUV, but I do ride in my wife's" is rather more stupid that the above, at least IMHO.

Actually, it was his families. Anyway, as I said, it was one of many reasons.

I'm wondering if there will be a replay of 1968 in Boston this summer.

In my dreams, it would be Kerry - McCain and then somehow we force Kerry off the ticket.

But that dream requires lots of Kool-Aid.

Mr. Kerry might have learned all he (thinks) he needs to know about running the military while he was a JO in Vietnam. In which case he might have taken the wrong lesson about micro-managing, nit-picking, and over-supervision.

I can't really blame him. He spent a few months as a very junior officer aboard a small ship, then a half-year aboard a boat where he was the boss. He might not have learned the right lessons there about people management.

Easy, he just needs to keep one person more ignorant than himself on the staff.

Kerry said... "And one of the reasons they're not there is that this administration is more interested in protecting Haliburton than it is in including other people in the reconstruction." Didn't Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts already do this movie?

Of course, they DID know for some time but were trying to keep a lid on it. I understand the logic, with the recent Iraqi powder-keg, but don't agree with it (I think they were too optimistic about how long it could be kept quiet).

Having said that, I was deeply offended by Kerry's poo throwing. If he would manage to get in, I hope he gets similar treatment when he has his own scandal to deal with (and he would).

Doesn't anyone remember when back in '92 Clinton promised us the "most ethical administration ever"?

The replay of '68 will be in New York this summer, and will treated as another Woodstock II. It will be seen, outside of Leftist nostalgia centers as another reason to vote against the Democrat's candidate.

Oy!
I heard that!
