Next election? I'll bet that Hillary can bake more cookies in
Iowa than Kerry can shovel sidewalks.

i agree, they have another thing in common... They both ended up on the wrong side of history.

Sorry for getting off topic, but is it just me, or are most of the active posters all from Texas?

The first senate committee that Hillary wanted to be on after being elected senator was the Armed Services Committee. Couldn't she get access to Kerry's records?

My next comment has to do with Hillary. I hear she is going to start going to a small church in Chapiqua, New York and change her stance on partial birth abortion. Bill Clinton advised that what the democrats need is "church" like going there, not actually having faith.

I agree. IMHO the only difference between the Democrats who are currently running the party is how they portray themselves to the public.

You have the Howard Dean/Kucinich/Wellstone faction who are proud leftists and not ashamed to say so.

Next you have the Kennedy/Kerry wing who are Communist sympathizers but would never admit it in public. They like to portray themselves as champions of the little guy.

Then there is the Clinton/Soros shadow party. They are just as leftist as the others, they control the money flowing into the party, and they pretend to be middle-of-the-road moderate Democrats. They are masters of image crafting, sound bites, spin, and the photo-op. So what Bill means is they have to look like America, and need to be seen as having whatever "Values" the latest focus group says they need.

The few not in the other groups are the traditional liberal Democrats like Evan Bayh & Leibermann who love America, are moderate on defense, and believe in the social safety net.

The old time Democrats in the tradition of Zell Miller, LBJ, John Kennedy, and Truman are now Republicans having been driven out of the party.

As far as the Senate not doing anything against "one of their own", I (am trying to) believe that in this election the people of this country SPOKE. If those in Washington want to keep their "jobs" I suggest they start listening and ACTING on our (their constituents) behalf! This campaign has taught me one POWERFUL lesson: we CAN make a difference and my letter writing, phone calling, etc. WILL NOT STOP!!!

Again, God Bless Each of You! I may be redundant with that, BUT I have come to have such strong feelings for you all...I'm sorry for being complacent all these years (even though I'm "only" 40).

Much love and respect!

Ronald Reagan lost PRIMARIES twice--not the presidency. He, Rockefeller and Nixon actively campaigned in the '68 primary. Nixon won, and then won election. In '72, there was no Republican primary. In '76, Gerald Ford ran as incumbent president and though support for Reagan was probably greater than for Ford, Ford won the nomination and lost the election to Carter. To my knowledge, Reagan lost nominations but NEVER lost an election. As usual, Kerry's wrong. I guess he didn't want to compare himself to Nixon (who DID lose an election but came back 8 years later to win).

A major difference between Benedict Arnold and Kerry is that Arnold did what he did mainly for money and position - venal self-interest, in other words. He picked the wrong side (England) to be the eventual winner. A second major difference is that Arnold was a genuine leader and major combat hero of the Revolutionary War.

Kerry did what he did for ideologoical reasons, which attack the heart of what this country is, and the future viability of its basic values. That he even survived as a political possibility is testiment to both the effectiveness of his tactics and the damage to American values which he achieved.

What also helped Kerry were powerful patrons inside the government, like Kennedy and Carter, in the media, and the weakness of the administration (Nixon's) in not dealing with sedition in the way our laws and Constitution provided.

Kerry's mind is like a scratched vinyl record that keeps playing the same lying segment over and over again until it has become his own personal reality.
