Hmmm well that sucks, I didnt notice any but I was not looking either, his stand out, but maybe thats cause I pay atention to his posts, there are lots of guys up here on both sides of the fence I skim or ignore.  


Oh well, sorry if it seems like I am picking on you Pongo, that is not my intent.

I know it can be hard to turn the other cheak if your getting attacked all the time.

Kerry said it himself, on Larry King live.

On the campaign trail, Sen. John Kerry insists that he would do a better job fighting the war on terror than President Bush. But the Massachusetts Democrat admitted Thursday night that he hasn't been able to find the time to accept the Bush administration's offer to give him an intelligence briefing.

"Well, I haven't been briefed yet," he told CNN's "Larry King Live." "They have offered to brief me; I just haven't had time."

Well that briefing will take at least 7 minutes.  I can't believe we have lost another 7 minutes in the war on terror.  Oh nos!!!

So he is too busy to squeeze in 7 minutes in his busy-busy-busy schedule?

And while the briefing might take 7 minutes, Kerry might actually learn something. Maybe thats what scares him.

What does that have to do with anything?  Are you implying that unless I've run for president, I'm unqualified to have an opinion on what I expect from a candidate?

I would like to know if the White House is required to give him these briefings.  If not, it sure seems like an mighty nice gesture.  

It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't take that info if offered.  There might be stuff in it he could use against Bush.  This might be a tactical move on Kerry's part.  He can make any claim he wants as long as he can honstly say that he didn't know any better because he didn't read the briefings.  And that would put the pressure on Bush to release security info to counter any claims.  just guessing....

we have all argued with liberals... they have that vacant stare and phony smile and won't look you in the eye or stare...

They tell you something vile about the conservative or republican... you say... "hmm.. don't seem right" or..."who cares?"  they get a little miffed and tell an even bigger one about the guy... you still don't care but mention that their candidate has some flaws... they now get angry at you and call try to shame you into accepting their view..

they either give up and say that you are hopeless or... they get angry and petulant

pongo has just gotten to the angry and petulant stage... the BB has not gone the way he envisioned it.   He feels that all the refvelations that only canadians know about the U.S. and are hidden from us... once broutgh out in the open will cause a flood tide of kerrie voting.

He really should attend the briefings if he doesn't.

I think the reason is that the more your guy goes down the tubes the more folks here start to flail about saying increasingly desperate, hateful, nonsensical..... and boring stuff.

Does anyone know the mechanics of the intel briefings that a nominee gets, and if what Kerry said really constitutes some kind of dereliction of duty? I think not.... but that doesn't stop yas from posting a picture of what appears to be a gas bag(?)....
