Has anyone heard of this group? I heard on local talk radio here in Milwaukee last night that there are 100-200 here brought in by the Kerry camp "in training". For what they don't know. They are staying at the Ramada downtown.

Very interesting indeed. Could these be clipboard warriors?

If Bush did this, Mikey Moore would be hyperventilating about "Hitler's Youth." Kerry--trotting kids around like human shields, tsk tsk. Considering Kerry's stand on abortion I wonder if he is surprised there are any kids around to be used as photo ops?

BAH! Kids for Kerry! HA! Their parents should be hauled into court on child endangerment charges.

Nice try, Sweeney from Swingtown. Kerry's "choice" is not pro-life; unless he has flip-flopped again? When did his position change? When he wasspeaking to the Leaque of Catholic Voters?

Approached from the other direction, he's pro-choice. And his choice is pro-life. Catholic and all, doncha know.

That's great, sweeney. Thank you for perfectly articulating Kerry's position wrt abortion. To wit: "I believe life begins at conception but I am pro-abortion because I don't believe a fetus is yet a human being." (As Kerry explained on IMUS recently.)

Actually, Kerry is not alone in this view; there is historical precedent. Adolph Hitler expressed similar views, explaining that gassing Jews wasn't really murder because Jews were "subhuman"--much like Kerry's non-human fetuses, whose human lives began at conception, but aren't yet human.

Or something.

Sweeney from Swingtown. Swingtown? Isn't that a suburb of Dazed and Confused?

Ah, mon ami, Sweeney,

XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX THU APRIL 22, 2004 17:09:25 ET XXXXX

KERRY ABORTION FLIP: ADVOCATED 'STATE ISSUE'

Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry will attend a rally for women's abortion rights in Washington, DC on Friday.

At the rally, Kerry will ask attendees to join him in the fight by getting involved in his campaign.

But the DRUDGE REPORT can reveal: Kerry claimed in an interview he was "opposed to abortion" and how its an issue "that should be left for the states to decide."

MORE

Kerry told the LOWELL SUN in October, 1972: "...It's a tragic day in the lives of everybody when abortion is looked on as an alternative to birth control or as an alternative to having a child. I think that's wrong. It should be the very last thing if it has to be anything, and I say that not just because I'm opposed to abortion but because I think that's common sense."


BTW, have you read...but, no, you probably don't subscribe to the Sun Valley Online paper.

...maybe this will help you decide whether John Kerry is arrogant and aloof.

Kerry Sets a Record: 14 Flip-Flops in One Speech

Sen. John Kerry set some kind of record today in a speech to his fellow leftists at New York University. The Republican National Committee counted 14 flip-flops on Iraq.

Among the more egregious of the tragicomic whoppers noted:

# Kerry now claims the "most important task" is to win the "war on terrorism." Yet Kerry, speaking to his pets at the New York Times in March, refused to call the war on terror a war, RNC recalled.

Kerry then: "The final victory in the war on terror depends on a victory in the war of ideas, much more than the war on the battlefield. And the war - not the war, I don’t want to use that terminology."

# Kerry now claims Iraq was a "diversion from" the war on terror. On Dec. 15 he said: "Iraq may not be the war on terror itself, but it is critical to the outcome of the war on terror."

# Kerry now claims Saddam Hussein's evil was not enough to justify war. Here's what he said in a speech July 29, 2002:

"I agree completely with this administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq – Saddam Hussein is a renegade and outlaw who turned his back on the tough conditions of his surrender put in place by the United Nations in 1991."

# Kerry now claims Saddam’s "downfall ... has left America less secure." Oopsy: Here's his anti-Dean, anti-Saddam stand in December 2003, according to Newsday:

"Those who doubted whether Iraq or the world would be better off without Saddam Hussein, and those who believe we are not safer with his capture, don’t have the judgment to be president or the credibility to be elected president."

# Kerry now claims the decision to go into Iraq was a "colossal" failure. Yet on Aug. 9, Kerry said that had he known then what he knew now, he would still have voted for the use-of-force resolution, according to CNN:

"Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it's the right authority for a president to have. But I would have used that authority, as I have said throughout this campaign, effectively."

# Kerry now claims Saddam was not a "threat to our security." Here's what he said in January 2003, according to the L.A. Times: "If you don't believe ... Saddam Hussein is a threat with nuclear weapons, then you shouldn't vote for me."

# Kerry now claims Saddam's "capability to acquire weapons" was not reason enough for war. Yet according to the Congressional Record of Oct. 9, 2002, he called those who would leave the Iraqi dictator alone "naive to the point of grave danger."

And so on and so forth.

At least no one can say Kerry is two-faced. He has so many more faces than that.

I think the evidence shows that Mr. Kerry has no love for babies or abides by the tenents of his faith! This is just a short example of Mr. Kerry's Senate Voting record when it comes to abortion!

He's is not PRO-LIFE
