Nobody seems to have posted these today, so for your reading pleasure here are links to some good articles:

"Kerry can forget more foreign help on Iraq"
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04284/392815.stm

"Kerry's Canyon flop still echos"
http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/viewpoints/articles/1010maceachern1010.html

"Kerry's Flip-Flop on Saddam's Terror Ties"
http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/31484.htm

"Edwards has a little growing up to do"
http://www.suntimes.com/output/steyn/cst-edt-steyn10.html

Then for a disturbing outlook at what might be in store for the Democrat Party, and particularly if Kerry wins, read:

"Fight Looms for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party"

Reading the "Left" article, I found some statements that concerned me.....

With Bush vanquished, the Democrats' internal battles will begin.

"We're going to celebrate with John Kerry the night of Nov. 2. But the morning of Nov. 3, we're going to start organizing to take the party away from him, because we have serious disagreements about what the party should stand for and where this country needs to go," said one activist at the "What We Stand For" conference, Bertha Lewis, co-chair of the Working Families Party in New York state and a leader in the grassroots antipoverty group, ACORN.


and then later in the article was this:


If Bush is defeated, the battle will unfold more gradually. The left will probably cooperate with Kerry on some issues and fight him on others, while it focuses on building the media, research and grassroots institutions that can swing the party in its direction.


Doesn't this sound like state run propaganda? And what do they mean by "swing the party in its direction"??


And lastly, there was this...

In any case, none of this new thinking and activism on the left would have happened if Bush had not pursued such an extreme course as president.



Ummm I think 9/11 had a lot to do with where our country is today.

What made be uneasy about this document was that I felt like I was reading the political war plans of a coup d'e tat.

Please tell me I've gone mad from reading too many politcal books.

Yep, you got it! Whether they are successful or not remains to be seen. And I truly do not know how many feel this way, though I think it is a lot - like up to maybe 1/2 of the Democratic Party. All the author says is up in the wind is how aggressively they try to pursue this; if Kerry wins, the battle will begin in full immediately, and if Bush wins, it will take a little longer.

Actually if I was a middle of the road or right leaning democrat that article might make think very seriously about who I was going to vote for.

Bump (so it doesn't get lost before the evening's over). Actually I mis-titled it. I meant "good links" not necessarily "good news." EVERYBODY really should read that last link. Daddy Warbucks, a.k.a., George Soros, will be financing this revolution!
