Some Sunday Musings and Ramblings

Opps...Kerry's beloved UN is blaming him for 50 Haitian deaths. Wonder how he feels about that? While he has decided that he wouldn't have gone to war in Iraq to remove a dictator, he would have sent the military to Haiti to protect one. And would have done so without international support (here and here). Huh? No international support? What about his global test?

Physics professor gone wild.

Wow...an ABC News headline that is Kerry-negative: Poll: Most Condemn Kerry Debate Comment. My opinion is that for Cheney to mention his daughter's sexual orientation is one thing; it's entirely different for Kerry and Junior to use her orientation for their own ends.

I heard this on Fox yesterday. Kerry was asked who his heroes were. He named three: Christopher Reeve, Michael J. Fox and Max Cleland. Can we say gratuitous? Just goes to show that he can't give an honest answer, only one that is politically motivated. Wonder who will be named the next time he's asked that question.

And here's a post from Matt Margolis regarding the story Kerry told during the debate about his mother. Wonder who he'll be getting his material from next?

Remember Kerry's promise to roll back the tax cuts for those making over $200K? Well, you might be included in the roll back if you make as little as $80K. Find it here.

I needed to see this. The latest CNN/USAToday/Gallup poll has Bush up by 8 points! You can find it here and here. Apparently the likely voters are agreeing that Kerry is too liberal. Well, he has 16 days to become more conservative. Who wants to bet that he'll try to change his image?

The RealClear Politics poll average here shows good news for Bush too. I don't pretend to understand the whys and wherefores, I'm just happy at what it shows today.

Just how many bills did Kerry pass during his Congressional career? Well, there seems to be some wordplay going on here. Factcheck.org sorts it out here. Kerry apparently managed to pass just 11 measures (some of which have no force of law) in 20 years. You've got to look at this.

And from Truth for Troops (troopsfortruth.org) you'll find a link to purchase Fahrenhype 9/11 (here's another link to the film). Purchase the DVD, make a contribution to get the film to the troops in Iraq, whatever you want. I'll be doing a separate post on this and linking on the sidebar.

This is silly. To begin with, the general has recanted his comments.

Kerry made the statement more than seven months ago. His statement was also in keeping with what Colin Powell said here:

Mr. Powell called on Mr. Aristide to help defuse the situation by putting in place a political agreement, brokered with other Caribbean nations, to disarm his loyalists, reform the police and welcome political opponents into a new governing council.

Mr. Powell said the United States would not support Mr. Aristide's removal in a coup.

"We cannot buy into a proposition that says the elected president must be forced out of office by thugs," the secretary said. [my emphasis]

That's essentially what happened.

Haiti has a literacy rate of just over 50% according to the CIA Factbook. The language is French and Haitian Creole. The communications infrastructure is devastated.

That dog won't hunt.
