#1 I heartily support Kerry running for president of the world. Just so long as he gets the hell out of the US. I suggest he start in Vietnam. He seems to have done his best work there.

#2 "The world is waiting for the United States of America they know and love."

Ah, yes. The same "love" that was expressed just a few days before 9/11 at the U.N.'s "World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance" in Durban, South Africa from Aug. 31 through Sept. 7, 2001. The week-long hatefest conducted by the United Nations against both the United States and Israel; the conference that turned into such a grotesque, extravagant exercise in America-bashing we walked out on it.

To me, the attack on 9/11 was simply "Durban By Other Means"-- a different expression of the same sentiment.

Sorry, but I don't place any value on this kind of "love", and I'm not going to vote for this lying bastard who's trying to tempt us with it.

"Stronger At Home, Respected in the World"??? Don't bet on it. If we're stupid enough to elect John Kerry, we'll REALLY get to know what the world's contempt feels like.

And if we elect him, we'll deserve every bit of it.

#3 When Kerry stated 'the World' does he really mean France?

No, no. Just sKerry's head. That is the whole world. Isn't it?

#5 Does this include Japan - who Kerry insulted?
Or Poland - who Kerry insulted?
Or Britain - who Kerry insulted?
Or Australia - who Kerry insulted and interfeared in their election?
Or any of the other nations who joined us in Iraq?

No it includes France and Germany (the only ones who matter in JFK's eyes) who were bribed. Or Iran or Syria who simply want to kill us.

Kerry does more damage to our allies then our enemies!

#11 I think this is a weak argument which has been a centerpiece of the Hanoi John campaign. The average Joe and Jane Doe don't care all that much if we are liked in the world. In fact, I would be bet that most people don't give a hoot about what France et al think of us. Just the fact that France is hostile to us is enough for me to vote for W.

#13 All the more reason to vote for W. With friends like the French and Germans . . .

#15 Kerry like EUrope just doesn't understand. The USofA is a different place now. The pre 9/11 USofA doesn't exist. The Islamo-Facsists know it but the rest of the world mostly doesn't get it. If the "world" and John Felcher Kerry thinks we are going back there they are wrong

#18 Not to nitpick, but I have 2 or 3 cents worth to toss into the mix...

It's the regimes in power in France and Germany who have made those countries, particularly Germany, perfidious faux allies.

The French people, of course, have been indoctrinated to hate and subvert all things American for generations, but people such as Sabine Herold can turn that around - there are some people who are neither stupid nor part of their intelligentsia / elitist wankers. JFM reminds me of this fact every time he posts - for he "gets it" and has a killer grasp of history - and he is anything but an anti-American elitist pud-puller. He rocks, in fact.

Far fewer Germans are so fooled. Sure, they have their PCism which appeals to the twits and the young (Think: Green... Think: Nader...), just as we do, but on average - they know shit from shinola. I'd equate the people with the UK - they're just a decent leader away from such cooperation and collaboration. All we have to remember is that they are far closer to us than not. I hold great hope for repairing our relations with Germany - after Shroeder is kaput, and assuming Skeery isn't elected. TGA makes the case perfectly every time he drops by - and spills those insider insights! Another sterling example of clear-thinking and a rock-solid man who rocks, heh.

So. Thanks, JFM & TGA - you guys help me keep perspective and focus on the real causes.

Okay, that's all I wanted to add. Tanx.

#19 Kerry doesn't have any business dealing with countries in which he feels free to cut down and then later plans to ask to take over the war and the rebuild effort in Iraq--(if he becomes president). I won't be voting for him. If you want to know what he has lied about, go to factcheck.org ;If you want to know why any politician lies it's at factcheck.org too. I'll save you some time, Kerry and Bush justify not telling the truth via the first amendment of the constitution--freedom of speech. If you don't believe me look it up on fact check.org.
A strong nation should be built on truth and strength. The world is getting a message from Bush right now "Don't mess With the U.S."
What message are they getting from Kerry?
