Tuesday, July 13th, 2004Kerry/Edwards may not vote on gay marriage…
Democrat John Kerry and his running mate John Edwards may not end up voting on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, a polarizing issue in the presidential campaign.
…
Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said Kerry and Edwards would be in the Senate to vote against the amendment if it came up, but they will not be there to vote on the procedural measure.
Kerry doesn’t show up for work most of the time anyways, why start now?
Go Barbara….

I don’t know about you, but I’m liking the idea of Jenna and Barbara Bush joining Dubya on the campaign trail.
John Kerry Offends Familes of 9-11 Victims
Tuesday, July 13th, 2004John Kerry doesn’t have time to arrive at a 9/11 memorial dedication ceremony on time, but has ample time to stick around for a photo op afterwards.
Edwards: Kerry’s Not A Flip-Flopper Because He Was In Vietnam
Tuesday, July 13th, 2004I was reading about the Kerry/Edwards interview on 60 Minutes, and after realizing just how bad Kerry can be at avoiding answering questions, I couldn’t help but be amused.
Even more amusing was Kerry’s and Edwards’ defense against Kerry being a flip-flopper.
When asked about how damaging Kerry’s portrayal as a flip-flopper by Republicans (and his own record for that matter) has been to his candidacy, Kerry said “Well, it’s just not true.”
Wow… Good one. I’m really convinced.
Edwards, defending his running mate, said, “…flip-flopper? You gotta be kidding me. I mean, a guy who put his life on the line for the men who served with him in Vietnam every day? Ask them what he’s made of. Ask them what kind of backbone and courage he has.”
Amazing. Kerry can’t be a flip-flopper because he was in Vietnam. If you needed a clearer example of how the Kerry ticket thinks that Vietnam absolves him of taking any responsibility for his 20-year record in the Senate of being weak on defense, anti-military, and changing his position of issues when it’s politically convenient.
This is the ticket we are against. The Kerry/Edwards/Vietnam ticket. In an election where the primary issue should be the War on Terror, Kerry still thinks it’s all about Vietnam. Clearly, Kerry and Edwards are going to run their campaign that way.
Kerry wants to use Vietnam as his shield because he can’t attack Bush over the War on Terror. Kerry even boasts pride over voting against the $87 billion for our soldiers fighting the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan. Kerry said, “I’m proud to say that John [Edwards] joined me in voting against that $87 billion when we knew the policy had to be changed.”
If I said something so disgustingly irresponsible, I’d rather talk about Vietnam too.
Left-Wing Domestic Terrorists To Try Disrupting RNC
Monday, July 12th, 2004The fringe liberals trying to disrupt the GOP convention are domestic terrorists. They need to be treated as such.
Edwards Trying To Fill His Foreign Policy Gap
Saturday, July 10th, 2004If this is true, it is a sad, sad attempt by the Kerry-Edwards campaign to compensate for Edwards’ lack of foreign policy experience:
Tentative plans are being discussed inside the Kerry-Edwards campaign to send vice-presidential candidate John Edwards to Iraq as soon as possible.
Edwards has not gone to Iraq since the U.S. invasion last year. His visit there would be designed to try to fill the senator’s lack of experience in national security policy. It also would provide the campaign with photo opportunities showing Edwards in close contact with U.S. troops in Iraq.
Before he announced his presidential candidacy last year, Edwards declared aggressive action against Iraq was needed because weapons of mass destruction were there. Like John Kerry, Edwards voted for the war resolution but against the $87 billion bill funding the conflict.

Dems Give Bloggers Credentials and Headaches
Friday, July 9th, 2004Off the wires today is a story on bloggers receiving credentials to the Democrat National Convention Quagmire in Boston at the end of this month. Amongst other problems the DNC has been facing, it appears even the giving of credentials to lib-bloggers had some hitches.
More than 30 independent Web journalists have been accredited to cover the Democratic convention, and the Republicans said Friday they’ll also credential so-called bloggers.
It’s the first time bloggers will be joining the thousands of newspaper, magazine and broadcast journalists at the quadrennial presidential-nomination events.
The Democrats initially invited an additional 20 bloggers to their July 26-29 party in Boston, but later rescinded those approvals and blamed a computer gaffe. That prompted complaints of unprofessionalism and favoritism.
Ouch. That has to hurt. Will the DNC get anything right?
