Watching shadow-president Kerry directing foreign policy
It occured to me today that the meetings JK has been conducting in Europe and the Middle East are going to force *'s hand--if he doesn't take follow-up steps and meet with these leaders, he's going to look like a fool. Seems that * isn't the only one who thinks he has a considerable amount of political capital, and he's spending it very wisely. He's using it to do what needs most to be done right now--mending our relationships with our allies.

If he can't be president and do these things directly, he's going to direct the action from behind the scenes. ;) He knows how to back the Boy King into a corner and force him to act. Haha--there seems to be more than one way to be the president! I only hope people will learn who should really get the credit.

"Thank you, man. And I assure you--you watch--I'll still have yours." JK

1. haha, Condi Rice hearings
I think JK is going to be going a little more full frontal assault on the war than he has in the last two years. It's one thing when you think you can get into office and help those troops, it's another when you know there isn't anybody really putting them first. Oh he's going to back the Boy King into a corner all right. Have you seen him question people in hearings. :scared: And this time, WE will make sure he gets the credit. Oh yeah!

:bounce:

2. Totally Agree

Kerry knows exactly what he is doing, how to go about it, and come out like the true champion that he truly is. This man has more courage, strength, and wits to rock the damn house and by hell he got the balls to do it as well. Repukes have since enough to realize this that is why they want to destroy him early in the game(which they will never do if Nixon was living he would tell them they better be careful messing with this man because they will cut their nose off to spite their faces) . It's just to damn bad that we have so many democrats that don't realize what we and even the repukes see and know.(Repukes are scared of the man) But John will not let nothing stand in his way wether it be a repuke or another democrat to get the job done and prevail as the true leader and patriot he is. As I have been saying just sit back and enjoy the show because it will be a damn good one and one you will never forget. Just don't let your guard down while doing it.

I love this man and he is my hero! He is a true leader and a great one at that!

"FOR AMERICA, THE HOPE IS THERE!! THE SUN IS RISING!! OUR BEST DAYS ARE STILL TO COME!!!"

3. Well, its good that he's getting all of this information
He'd better use it to give the administration a hard time. The Bush administration has pretty much gotten a free ride to do whatever the fuck it wants.

4. It's very odd how Kerry is being a president
Making me very proud. He is really going all out to help fix bridges that * has burned to the ground.

Has the MSM talked about this? I haven't watched tv news in awhile.

5. I was thinking along these same lines this morning.
I was thinking Kerry was not only attempting to mend some of the fences * has so stupidly broken down, but also information gathering. I bet he has gotten an earful from all these people he has met with! Information can be so useful and powerful, especially when it is gotten first hand.
It just drives me nuts. Here's Kerry building bridges, acting like the President that he rightfully should be, busy, busy, busy. And what is * doing...breaking down one American institution after another, tearing apart the economy, killing the innocents, and his idea of travel is going down to Florida to visit his stupid brother. God, I hate him and all he represents!
I can't wait for the real President to come home.

6. Sing it sweetie!
I most heartily concur.

Those hearings should be fun. Condi, oh Condi, she who fucks up security. How I love to see Condi testify. Can she be any more dismal than the 9/11 Commission appearance? "What was the name of that memo?" "Bin Laden Determined to strike in the US." Let's dance!

It was a historical document, my fat hairy ass. Dear Condi, how could you not take the warnings seriously, oh neocon princess of the right. How could you let the Idiot Princeling go away to Crawford when the "system was blinking red." But I digress. Step, twirl, step, bow.

So, Ms. Rice, given your spectacular failures as NSD, why should you now represent the United States of America to the rest of the world. Anymore spectacular fuck-ups coming, I'd like to know for insurance purposes. Take a bow, move upstage, the dance goes on.

I really, really friggin hate these people!

8. yeah, expecially insider information!
the off-the-record, wink wink nod nod kind! I wonder if *'s ears have been burning lately?

And meanwhile * is off lying about the next crisis--the so-called Social Security "problem". But I'm not worried--even ABC news, in reporting on what * said today, immediately stated that SS was not in trouble, and used some statistics to show it.
