  • Oh geez, Kerry's an idiot



    Creating a New Army of Patriots
    On September 11th, 2001, America experienced the most terrible and deadly attack in its history. Yet, President Bush's response was to call on Americans to wait in long lines at airports, go shopping, or wrap their windows in plastic.
    As President, John Kerry will have the courage to lead and call on all Americans to make our nation stronger. Whether it is protecting America from the threats of terrorism or addressing the problems we have at home, America's new challenges will not be met by the same old answers of big government or big tax cuts for the wealthy. John Kerry will call on all Americans - tapping into the idealism and ingenuity of Americans and putting it to work on building a safer, stronger, and more secure nation. Americans already make an enormous difference in their communities, volunteering, in Boys and Girls Clubs or homeless shelters. Many Americans do full time service. John Kerry believes that in these times, we need to bolster these efforts with a nationwide commitment to national service. Whether it is a Summer of Service for our teenagers, helping young people serve their country in return for college, or the Older Americans in Service program, John Kerry's plan will call on every American of every age and every background to serve. John Kerry will set a goal of one million Americans a year in national service within the next decade.




    John Kerry Outlines Plan to Require Service for High School Students

    Part of 100 days Plan to Enlist One Million Americans in National Service A Year

    On September 11th, 2001, America experienced the most terrible and deadly attack in its history. John Kerry believes we need to think big and do better and get more young Americans serving the nation.

    As part of his 100 day plan to change America, John Kerry will propose a comprehensive service plan that includes requiring mandatory service for high school students and four years of college tuition in exchange for two years of national service.
    Yikes.

    It's Bush's fault.

      You realize hiring youngsters to fight was last done in Liberia, don't you?

        Kerry Looks Tough to Beat in Five States
        55 minutes ago
        Associated Press

        By RON FOURNIER

        WASHINGTON - John Kerry (news - web sites) looks tough to beat in five Democratic presidential contests Tuesday, party strategists say, with dreams of a decisive sweep hinging on two states — South Carolina and Oklahoma.

        The results of those two races may determine whether Kerry delivers a knockout punch, or a glancing blow. He would like to chase Wesley Clark (news - web sites) and John Edwards (news - web sites) from the race Tuesday, then finish off a staggering Howard Dean (news - web sites) four days later in Michigan.

        The senator's chief of staff, Mary Beth Cahill, said odds were against a sweep.

        "It has never happened, somebody winning everything. There is no precedent for that," she said. "So I think it's extremely unlikely." Seeking to lower expectations, other aides said Kerry would be pleased with a few victories and a bulk of the 269 delegates up for grabs Tuesday.

        Kerry, who won opening-round contests in Iowa and New Hampshire, hopes that his momentum overcomes the $11 million in advertising that Clark, Edwards and Dean poured into the seven states while he was off the air, fighting for survival in Iowa.

        Heading into a frantic weekend of campaigning, public polls showed the Massachusetts lawmaker with a commanding lead in Missouri, Arizona and North Dakota — states with 143 delegates at stake. But pollsters working for the campaigns said the race was tightening in Missouri and Arizona.

        Public polls were mixed in South Carolina, with one showing Kerry and Edwards tied and another giving the North Carolina senator a lead. Internal campaign polls showed Edwards slightly ahead in the chase for 45 delegates.

        In Oklahoma, where 40 delegates are up for grabs, polls showed Kerry, Clark and Edwards locked in a three-way race.

        Party strategists and polls gave Kerry the edge in New Mexico (26 delegates) and Delaware (15).

        Experts in every state had a word of caution. "Though Kerry looks awfully strong, there are still enough undecided voters to make things interesting everywhere," said Tom Dickson, chairman of the North Dakota Democratic Party.

        For his part, Kerry sounded comfortable and confident Saturday, even taunting the Bush White House with the thought of facing him in the fall.

        Before some 700 supporters in Kansas City, he said, "All those lobbyists. All those powerful interests that meet in secret in the White House. They hear us coming."

        The candidates and their plans:

        _ Edwards acknowledges that he must win South Carolina, the state where he was born. The first-term North Carolina senator hopes to emerge as Kerry's singular rival, which he would certainly do by winning Oklahoma and exceeding expectations in Missouri, New Mexico and Delaware. He has matched Kerry ad-for-ad in key states. Kerry advisers see Edwards as their biggest threat.

        _ Clark, a retired Army general, has gotten little thus far for his $2.3 million in South Carolina advertising. His stock has fallen in Arizona and New Mexico, too, but he remains strong in conservative Oklahoma. "There's a question of whether Kerry's momentum will become a big factor," said Don Hoover, an Oklahoma strategist. Clark needs a win, maybe two, to set the stage for a Kerry v. Clark race. His aides acknowledge that's a tall order.

        _ Dean, the former front-runner, is next week's wild card. He limped out of New Hampshire after two-straight Kerry victories and fired his campaign manager. Nearly broke, Dean pulled his ads off the air and curbed his travel to Tuesday's states. Strategists say he can contend in New Mexico's caucuses and pick up delegates elsewhere. Dean is hoping that Clark and Edwards fall out of the race Tuesday, leaving him to fight a war of attrition with Kerry. The risk is that Kerry gains momentum and becomes unstoppable after Tuesday, or that Edwards emerges as Kerry's chief rival. Dean needs to win next Saturday in Michigan, where Kerry was poised Saturday to pick up an endorsement from Gov. Jennifer Granholm.

        _ Sen. Joe Lieberman (news - web sites) lags in polls, but has worked hard in several states, particularly Delaware.



        _ Al Sharpton (news - web sites) could be a factor in South Carolina, drawing more black voters than pollsters predict. State strategists say those votes likely would come from Kerry.

        Cahill sounded both confident and cautious when she discussed Kerry's plans through the Democratic nominating convention in Boston.

        "We're competing everywhere. We want to pick up delegates and we want to be extremely strong as we head into Boston," she said. "But we don't expect to win everywhere."

            I'm voting for Bush, don't blame me; but if I weren't, I'd vote Kerry.
            He means service. Not THE Service.

                    Mixed feelings. On the one hand, it probably would not be bad for high school students to get out and do a little community service. On the other hand, I'm not sure that millions of pissed off high school students would make good "volunteers". The two years of service for four years of tuition sounds like a good idea, if it fiscally feasible.
