the fall of Saddam Hussein, the
American-led military campaign in Iraq is making

Pentagon officials say.
Kerry cites voter intimidation examples
BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Many voters in last year's presidential
election were denied access to the polls through trickery and intimidation,
former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry told a voters' group
Sunday.The Moonbat Kerry say's
"Kerry also cited examples Sunday of how people were duped into not
voting.
"Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday,
Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you've
ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote," he said.I find this very funny! Hey, if you dont know when election day is, you should not vote! Now on to Kerry's better half
Don’t crown Hillary yet!Hillary Clinton may be all but declared the 2008 nominee
here in New York, but don’t tell John Edwards that. “I think talking about a
front-runner four years before an election is ridiculous,” he tells us. Edwards
is coming to town this week to give a speech at the New School assailing Bush
tax policies, and to visit his daughter, who works at Vanity Fair. Now at the
University of North Carolina, his voting finger is clearly itchy. We ran through
some talking points. The circus of legislative outrage surrounding Terri
Schiavo? “We saw the memo that went out to Republican leaders about how they
could take political advantage of Terri Schiavo. That’s disgusting. They will
pay a price for this in the 2006 and 2008 elections.” The Democratic
acquiescence to the appointments of Condoleezza Rice and Alberto Gonzales? “I
would have voted against them.” Would you oppose John Bolton as U.N. ambassador?
“I would.” The easy passage of tort reform? “People have attacked my [trial
lawyer] career ever since I’ve been involved in politics. But the attacks never
stick. I think people fundamentally believe that those who have been wronged by
powerful interests should be able to hold them accountable.” The reports that
you told John Kerry you wouldn't run against him? “The conversations that John
Kerry and I have had are personal and private.” —Greg SargentOHH MY....Barking Moonbats!!
