That initial post was great. The last post calling the list BS was laughable, especially considering that reeds posted an opposite but analagous post earlier in the month. Gosh...that one way door is sure convenient.

Kerry Sees Wisconsin Slipping Away...

...so what does he do? Pathetically, he announces another Bush "secret plan" to somehow damage dairy farmers:

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry told voters in America's Dairyland on Monday that President Bush had a secret plan that would hurt milk producers after the election.

Kerry tried to convince voters in this rural community, where he is practicing for Thursday's debate, that he would look out for dairy farms here even though he hadn't always in the past.

In the 1990s, Kerry supported the Northeast Dairy Compact, a regional pricing program that propped up prices for Northeastern dairy farmers over objections from their Midwestern counterparts.

"We've had a difference between the Midwest and the Northeast," Kerry said. "I'm going to be very upfront with you about it. As a senator representing Massachusetts, I fought for the dairy compact and fought to have our dairy farmers get help," the four-term lawmaker said. "I'm running for president of the United States now and I intend to represent all the farmers of America."

Kerry said Bush is opposing an effort to extend the Milk Income Loss Contract that helps dairy farmers when milk prices drop and is set to expire in October 2005. He said the Bush administration would wait until after the election to act so voters in swing dairy states wouldn't turn against him. The Bush campaign issued a statement that said accounts of White House opposition to the milk program are false.

John Kerry has finally made a pledge that voters can believe: if elected, he promises to flip-flop, abandoning the position he has held through his nineteen-year Senate career!

I'm not sure this is the lowest moment of Kerry's pathetic campaign, but it's a contender.

Here's another one...His decisiveness and his mentor. Teddy Kennedy..

From hugh

"[Kerry's] habit of soliciting one more point of view prompted one close adviser to say he had learned to wait until the last minute before weighing in: Mr. Kerry, he said, is apt to be most influenced by the last person who has his ear. His aides rejoiced earlier this year when Mr. Kerry yielded his cell phone to an aide, a move they hoped would limit his seeking out contrary opinions."

--Sunday's New York Times on John Kerry.

The last person to talk to Kerry will usually be Theresa or Teddy Kennedy. Really. So be sure to read what Teddy had to say at George Washington University yesterday. Kerry's collapse must be across the board to allow the aging lion of the incoherent left to come out and growl. Kennedy is Kerry's mentor. Kennedy will be the decisive voice on foreign affairs.

America is fully warned as to what that means by reading through the remarks Kennedy gave yesterday.

"Kerry Sees Wisconsin Slipping Away..."


Im from Wisconsin..Kerry will carry WISCONSIN...I'll see to that...haha

[Drbio]

You wish reeds. kerry will wilt in Wisconsin.

[dude1394]

Kerry comes out swinging today. Clear as mud. That will fire 'em up. The sensitive way I imagine.

Meanwhile, Kerry, practicing some potential debate lines, told supporters, "I've been right about Iraq all along," saying Saddam Hussein should have been held accountable, but only in the "right way."

So is this your plan reeds. As Hugh says.... "If it isn't close they can't cheat"

Authorities Investigating Voter Fraud by Democratic Groups in Ohio

In the United States, only 17 states require identification in order to vote. Apparently democrats, who readily accuse republicans of rigging the 2000 election, are attempting to steal the 2004 Presidential election by registering the deceased as democrats.

In Lake & Summit counties, Ohio ( battleground state), authorities are investigating more than 1,000 voter registration forms and absentee ballot requests that appear to be fraudulent.

Reeds, that's quite a list. Some of the items (Improving opportunities for small businesses, for example) really don't say much at all of substance. Even if all the items did, I am left to wonder how much of Kerry's energy he could really apply to each of these items, as long as the list is. Whew. Talk about spreading yourself thin.

My question to you would be this:

Given that it appears certain we will have a Republican congress in the next term, what specific policiy initiatives can we reasonably expect Kerry will be ABLE to put in place? What would be the most significant accomplishments of his first term?

Maybe we can start by answering that, and leave things like "reducing traffic congestion" to those who actually might be in a position to do something about it.

So, Reeds, what can we expect Kerry to pass through the Republican congress in the next term?

Lake election and law enforcement officials said their investigation is centered on absentee registration attempts by the nonpartisan NAACP's National Voter Fund and an anti-Bush, nonprofit group called Americans Coming Together, or ACT Ohio.

The National Voter Fund could not be reached Wednesday or Thursday at its Washington, D.C., offices.

Funny how reeds gets mad at xerxes doing the exact same thing he did here.

EDIT: Also, reeds, for everything you posted, Kerry has probably voted against it at some point in his career.
