Kerry?s Crowd: Sweating, Squealing & Sinking

Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


6. Hypocritically hollering for the Swifties? to be stifled while their 527s continue to churn out their villainous venom for the anti-Bushites, and the heavily biased NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MTV and VH1 crowd.

In the end, if I were liberal, you wouldn?t catch me arduously defending Kerry.  Yes, they are desperate to get their ideology back on top in Washington and out to the masses, where their ideas and programs will once again be proven disastrous, but I wouldn?t be looking to Kerry to be poster boy for my beliefs. 

Remember, Senator Kerry is their plan B.  Plan A was Howard Dean.  He was el Salvador right up until his Exorcist, watch-my-head-spin, moment in Iowa and then their party collectively said, ?Holy Schnikeys!  We?ve got to get someone else!!!?
 
The problem was when they turned to look to another candidate, the choices were ? pretty thin.  It must have been like arriving at a party a little late where the only thing left to drink is a hot, half-empty can of Schlitz, the only thing left to eat is a half-chewed pickle, and the only girl left to hit on is Courtney Love who?s passed out in the fireplace.

Choosing among Dennis Kucinich, Al Sharpton and John Kerry had to be tough.  Given the Swifties? heavily footnoted allegations; given Kerry?s continued caginess in not directly, line-for-line, answering their contentions, coupled with his continued insult to hundreds of thousands of vets who honorably served in a scandalous war ? is this the peg on which you want to hang your hat?  Hey, this is a man whose photos are preserved in the Vietcong anti-American war museum!

Why can?t we seriously question Kerry?  Could it be that a bipartisan group of more than 250 vets who served spitting distance from Kerry might be right?  The only way for us to know is not as Max Cleland blustered, for Bush ?to put up or shut up?, but for Kerry to face and respond to the accusations, clearly.

My ClashPoint is this:  Why the trepidation, lefties, if you?re standing on such solid, holy ground in defending your would be supreme leader?  Why are you seemingly coming apart at the seams?  Truth is confident ? secure ? and okay when questioned.  And so are those who side with truth.  The nervousness, the overreaction by your liberal camp followers and the blind hypocrisy in wailing for the emasculation of free speech if it is contrary to your position, causes the moderate Democrat and the independent voter to think there may be something to what the Swifties are saying. 

You see, ?truth needs no defense?, as Charles Spurgeon said.  ?It is a lion that simply needs to be let out of its cage.?  The Liberals? continued knee jerking, sophomoric defense tactics scream that they?re busted and are trying to make the masses look the other way.  Instead of denouncing these vets who have a right to air their opinion why not tell JFK, too, to report for duty, burnish his medals, brandish his reports, and have a fresh debate with John O?Neill, 33 years after he lost the first time around?
