1. Well, that couldn't be plainer
ANd I swear I detected both the obvious anger and a little bit of righteous indignation and just a well sprinkling of Schadenfraude (sp?) in that statement (esp. by Ms. Hillary.)

Nice. I am loving this.

7. More Kerry
is definitely the cure for my burnout. :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

I'm greedy, though. I want MORE. I want the whole administration frogmarched out of the White House like a chain gang, and Kerry installed in their place.

My secret wish is that all this will somehow uncover the manner in which they stole the election. Unlikely, I know, but it can't hurt to start uncovering the depths of Rove's immorality.

15. Exactly so!
I just sawe a post on Kos that was linking DSM, Bolton, and Plamegate. They do all tie together. Now we need to see Rove tied to Noe and the Ohio Coingate scandal and the wholesale purchase of the election through corruption in the state GOP. I need to fan myself.

35. Caught Kerry on TV today speaking TRUTH and asking . . .
the Turd Blossom to be fired, and for Bush to follow through with what he said he would do. Then we need a conviction.

Been on vacation and sadly my mother-in-law's funeral but I've been paying attention.

This is all great news concerning Rove. Really, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I agree with the Kos post and others have said it, this is all connected, including election fraud. Once everyone realizes how corrupt Rove is, and he is certainly "like a son" in the BCF, it all just fits together so neat and tidy. THEY ARE ALL CRIMINALS, AND SERIOUS THUGS, AND WILLING TO DO ANYTHING --- EVEN MURDER. I pray this is the wind to bring down this awful house of cards.

Really, this all ties into the mother of all crimes, 9-11 MIHOP. 9-11 was PNACs "New Pearl Harbor." If you don't believe this, if you don't know this, then I suggest some very good resources:

"Bush - Nazi Dealings Continued Until 1951" - Federal Documents
By John Buchanan and Stacey Michael from The New Hampshire Gazette Vol. 248, No. 3, November 7, 2003:
http://www.nhgazette.com/cgi-bin/NHGstore.cgi?user_action=detail&catalogno=N

Want to know all about the BCF and what they are really capable of? Want to the know the dark history of the family from the great grandfather to Bush1 and Bush2? I suggest watching Oliver Stone's "JFK," and then watching "JFK2":
JFK2:

JFK2 (video/DVD):
http://www.jfkii.com/

"Hijacking Catastrophe" is powerful, understated, straightforward and educational. In a single meticulously organized hour of evidence and analysis, viewers are treated to a thoughtful explanation of modern American empire, neo-conservatism as a driving force for the current Bush administration. "Hijacking Catastrophe: 9/11, Fear, and the Selling of American Empire." Watch it on-line:

19. Great minds...
I don't mind sharing.
:pals:

BTW, might as well add my admiration of Sen Kerry's actions today.
Too cool, wasn't he??? What an awesome day. Gotta love a man with a bit of righteous indignation goin' on. Between the Rove statement and the amendment, he was rockin'.
What, do you think, was the connection between the amendment and Pres Clinton's piss-poor characterization of the campaign's attention to security issues? Coincidence?
I'm still angry at Bill.

10. Finally saw it
it was magnifico.

"Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" not so truthful
Aug 21, 2004
In new developments, the New York Times revealed that "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth" received the bulk of its initial financing from two men with ties to George W. Bush and his family --- and one is a longtime political associate of dirty trickster Karl Rove . Some of the material is contradicted by Navy records as well as the men's own previous statements. In fact, several of those now defaming Mr. Kerry had previously lavished praise upon him, some as recently as last year.


Go get em John.

11. MSNBC poll: should Rove be fired? and article...
Vote in the poll:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8554738/

(at this moment we are up 87% to 10% with 2380 responses)

Read article, mentions JK:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8545657/

Democrats want Rove axed
The revelation about Rove prompted Democratic calls for Bush to follow through on his promise to fire leakers of Plame’s identity.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts said Tuesday that “Karl Rove ought to be fired.” With Kerry on Capitol Hill was Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., a possible 2008 presidential contender, who indicated her agreement with Kerry’s view.

“I’m nodding,” she told reporters.

The issue triggered 61 questions during two press briefings Monday by McClellan. It was McClellan who had provided the previous assurances about no role for Rove, but he refused to repeat those assurances Monday.

“Did Karl Rove commit a crime?” a reporter asked McClellan.

“This is a question relating to an ongoing investigation,” McClellan replied.

Well Scott shouldn't he step down until this ongoing investigation is over, and shouldn't the WH ask him to ?

22. Yes, he does.
I was getting the vapors over that one. :evilgrin: (Swoon, fanning self.) :evilgrin: I just love a tall mui macho guy who isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. That was a very forceful statement. (Yum Yum! Thanks Big Guy, I needed that.) Ms. Hillary could just nod and say, ahm, yeah, what he said. (Cuz it had been Done!)

Glad to see that it was good for youze guys too! Sometimes I just am so proud of voting for that guy I could just be boastful or something else equally obnoxious.

(GlobalVillage, this is in no way a swipe at the perfectly lovely Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and your, ahm, interesting Senators. I would never rub it in, ever. I am a classy broad.)

23. I GIVE UP!!!
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 08:57 PM by globalvillage
OK, I give. Your senators are glorious, and mine are crap. I get it. And yes, the truth hurts.

Can't I just love yours for the next couple years? I don't think I can move to Mass (due to the horrible weather, dontcha know), but I promise to be there, at least in spirit, during the months of May-Sept.

You had better study up on Mr Casey, my friend, cause you'll be hearing his name at every roll call vote soon, and I'll be able to say, um... I'll be able to say I'm half way to having good senators like you.

Well, it's not nothing.

:P

On edit, forget August, he'll probably be here.

24. Ahm, that actually activated my Catholic Guilt.
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 09:10 PM by TayTay
I'm sorry. That was a tad over-the-top. Ahm, I like Mr. Casey and was talking to a former PA guy who nows lives in the Bay State and he said that Mr. Casey should do rather well in PA. (The Casey name is good in PA, kind of like Kennedy in MA.)

I will take my anti-bitch pills and get over myself. I was just very impressed with Mr. Kerry today. I saw him on the floor of the Senate and I was rather proud of myself for having the good sense to vote for him all these times. (And I do like it when he goes all forceful and stuff. It really does sort of give me the vapors.) :evilgrin:

Mea cupla, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Sister Marietta Thomas would be hitting me with the clicking thingee right about now. (Prideful thing. Get over yourself and go back to feeling guilty about something.)

I learned how to do guilt from Sr Mary Domenic. Eight years of Catholic confinement before I was released. I was an excellent student.
:evilgrin:

Don't be sorry. You guys deserve a good gloat from time to time. And today was a day to gloat if ever there was one. I was proud of your Senator from all the way over here.

28. Oh, cross compliments
And I completely admire the grit of the PA folks who have NEVER given up the fight to get rid of Santorum. (I mean that. I post from time to time how much I dislike the Rethug Gov of MA. We've only had this bozo for two + years. You guys have suffered for so long and yet, you hve kept the Faith. You have my deepest and most heartfelt admiration.)

And thanks! I did feel happy today with Mr. K. (And he was looking gooood!)

25. your Dem senators beat my Dem senators any day!
Gotta admit it. But I'll bet I'm almost as proud of Kerry as you are! :) It was so good to see him stand up today and say what needed to be said. What a patriot--since the election, it's as if he's holding all of the American people in his heart. :loveya:

Has he always been so focused on what is good for the American people, or is this something new, since the election? Every time he speaks it's about us and our welfare. The point of everything he talks about always seems to come around to why something should be changed for the sake of the public good.

Of course ALL politicians/public servants should be this way, but here's one who actually is. And I know there are other Dems who say practically the same things--but this one really speaks from the heart; that's the difference, isn't it? You really feel that what he is saying comes from deep convictions.

How is it that everyone in the world doesn't see it???

    Kerry's kindness during tragedy remembered

    By BART JANSEN, Portland Press Herald Writer

    Copyright © 2004 Blethen Maine Newspapers Inc.


    BOSTON — Michael Broderick of Bethel, Maine, a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, has known John Kerry for a while. He'd like the rest of the country to learn more. Broderick worked on Kerry's first, unsuccessful campaign for Congress in 1972. Kerry caused a sensation as a decorated Vietnam vet who returned home to protest the war.

    The two men got to know each other while walking the streets to meet voters during the campaign. But what Broderick remembers most vividly was something that happened after the election defeat.

    Broderick's father died a few days before the election. A few days after the election, Kerry paid a visit while Broderick was out. Kerry, who had brought flowers, ended up talking with Broderick's mother.

    "That's the kind of loyalty he has to people," Broderick said. "It's a kindness that has something to do with commitment."

30. There are inner people and outer people
Mr. Kerry appears to be an inner person. He plays his cards close to his vest and doesn't let out with all the big emotional stuff. But he is a very intense and loyal guy. And he does have a big heart. (The firefighters in Worcester know this. His staff knows this. There are the stories about staffers who have had sick relatives who have had visits, nice quiet unpublicized visits where someone sick Mom gets a hospital visit from Kerry. And so forth.

Sen. Kennedy is a big presence and he is a 'Happy Warrior.' (Outer preson all the way.) (Uncle Ted is always kidding around and everyone around him has a good time.) Sen. Kerry is more subdued and more low-key, but he is also one of those people who are rock solid. I like him. I have heard stories about him as well. (So odd. Somebody who doesn't work at The Globe ought to write a book about Kerry someday that has some actual human insight in it. He is an interesting guy. He's the 'Iceberg' type, in that 10% shows, 90% is below the surface.)
