3. Link worked. Thanks!

From the endorsement:

"America needs a leader who sees the world as it is, who knows how to rebuild international alliances, who focuses on threats to homeland security, who runs the government for the benefit of all Americans. By virtue of his knowledge of world affairs, his life story of national service and his moderate values, John Kerry is that leader."

6. Here's a snip

BASED ON HIS RECORD, President George W. Bush has not earned re-election. He has mishandled the war on terrorism, shut his eyes to disagreeable facts, left the next generation in hock and presided over a sharp loss in jobs, health insurance and prosperity for millions of Americans.

Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass., understands that Mr. Bush took a wrong turn by transforming the war on terrorism into an invasion of Iraq. He understands the importance of working with our traditional allies and the world community to fight terrorism. And he wants to step up efforts to address real nuclear threats by disposing of nuclear materials in Russia and dealing directly with North Korea and Iran.

... In the troubled election of 2000, Mr. Bush ran as a compassionate conservative who wanted to create a "lockbox" for Social Security and unite the nation, while conducting a humble foreign policy that eschewed nation-building. He pried open the lockbox, conducted an arrogant foreign policy, tried to grow a democracy in burning sand and left the nation more divided than at any time since Vietnam.

... Still Mr. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney cling blindly to their story line. When the Iraqi Survey Group concluded last week that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction, Mr. Bush insisted the report had justified the war. He even came up with a new, ludicrous rationale: Saddam's corruption of the U.N.'s oil-for-food program justified the pre-emptive invasion.

... America needs a leader who sees the world as it is, who knows how to rebuild international alliances, who focuses on threats to homeland security, who runs the government for the benefit of all Americans. By virtue of his knowledge of world affairs, his life story of national service and his moderate values, John Kerry is that leader.

7. Outstanding.

A fantastic anti-Bush rant, and a pretty decent case for Kerry.

I hope it changes some minds.

Meanwhile, Mr. Bush turned his back on the Geneva Conventions and Attorney General John D. Ashcroft conducted an inept and heavy-handed crackdown that violated civil liberties. Prosecution after prosecution failed, and the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Mr. Bush's violations of the Constitution.

Mr. Bush's apparent inability to accept facts that are at odds with his ideology is perhaps his greatest vulnerability as a leader. Just as he refuses to recognize reality in Iraq, he has advanced domestic policies that are at war with science. The administration has pooh-poohed global warming, downplayed the value of embryonic stem-cell research, claimed a link between abortion and breast cancer and removed scientific papers from government Web sites...
