#1 Kerry's arguments will just be another case of "round up the usual suspects".
Nothing to see here, move along.

#2 I have a pager that I carry for my job, and I get news thru their Datacast system.

One of today's headlines said "Kerry, trying to blunt good news on jobs, says Bush not doing enough to help the middle class." (emphasis mine)

This is significant to me because the Datacast "news" is normally just quick blurbs with the usual headlines you would find in the papers or on TV - biased throughout and a "blurred" line between LLL opinion and factual reporting.

I found it fascinating that mainstream reporting agencies are taking shots at Kerry like this. How much of a piece of crap is Kerry for ~~his own booster club~~ the mainstream press to openly criticize his inept campaign? I love it.

#6 Dan - Yes. Everything is Bush's fault. In fact, I'm pretty sure he is getting blamed for that Troy movie as well...

#7 Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.), dismissing economic and jobs growth as too little, too late,..

I wasn't aware that economic and jobs growth had to adhere to a particular schedule....

Sorry about the mistake. Should be "increasingly". But at least I spelled "perceived " correctly (I sometime foul that one up).

#9 Didn't these morons learn their lesson with Mondale, that depressing misery-merchant? Apparently not.

#11 CNN has an article today on the increase in new millionaires at: http://money.cnn.com/2004/06/15/pf/millionaires/index.htm

If Kerry wants to play the class war game (which I think is what his advisor Shrum wants him to play), he can say 'well, see the Bush ecomomy is just helping the rich'. Of course this is nonsense but it might play in the short run if enough of the media buy into it.

#13 Kerry is trying EVERY ANGLE to build support; this is just one of many. I don't know much about Kerry as a leader, but I know one thing that will never allow me to vote for him: his belief that we needed to get the international community's permission to enforce the UN resolutions against Hussein and his subsequent denegration of the US for keeping its word.

I don't beg for friends, nor should any American with an ounce of self-esteem. Anyone who has lived a while on this earth knows what happens when you beg someone to be a friend (or lover or employer); their respect for you is immediately diminished. Our friends will reveal themself in time in this war and its aftermath. We should make note of who is who and let Kerry pretend all "friends" are equal.
