Kerry miracle worker

Sen. John Edwards speaking in Newton, Iowa, said that all kinds of illnesses and people who are lame will walk again if Sen. John Kerry is elected president:

"If we can do the work that we can do in this country — the work we will do when John Kerry is president — people like Christopher Reeve are going to walk," Edwards said. "Get up out of that wheelchair and walk again."

Senate Majority Leader Dr. Bill Frist criticized Edwards remarks:

"I find it opportunistic to use the death of someone like Christopher Reeve -- I think it is shameful -- in order to mislead the American people," Frist said. "We should be offering people hope, but neither physicians, scientists, public servants or trial lawyers like John Edwards should be offering hype."

Frist added that Edwards' comments were "cruel to people who have disabilities and chronic diseases, and, on top of that, it's dishonest. It's giving false hope to people."

The Kerry campaign has actor Michael J. Fox in a current commercial currently stating that President Bush wants to prevent the curing of Parkinson’s, Diabetes and other terrible diseases.

Bush is the first president to allow for federal funding of stem cell research.

Kerry’s chaotic management style

The Washington Post [LINK] tries to put a good face on Sen. John Kerry’s management style. However, there is no getting around that his campaign demonstrates Kerry’s inability to manage:

Kerry's presidential campaign is a study in how his management style works when his direction is unclear or changing with events: in a word, chaotically.

While Bush has kept the same campaign team and, despite shifting public opinion, the same message from the beginning -- as he did in 2000 -- Kerry is now on his third management team.

After multiple shifts, the campaign has few top managers who are close to Kerry. That, along with Kerry's habit of running ideas by dozens of friends and informal advisers, means that some of the most influential people in the Kerry campaign are actually outside it.

Terrorists in America?

The Washington Times reports that the FBI is investigating whether Chechen terrorists have come into America through the Mexican border. Chechens recently took over a school in Russia, killing hundreds. Americans were told that a disk containing floor plans of schools in America was found in possession of an Islamic extremist.

The Times reports:

Fears of an attack on American schools also were raised by the recent discovery in Iraq of a computer disk containing data showing the layout of six schools in the United States, including districts in California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, New Jersey and Oregon.

Intelligence reports show that the agencies responsible for protecting the homeland have been concerned and aware:

Intelligence officials said a suspected al Qaeda leader who has been in the United States was spotted recently in Mexico. Officials believe Adnan Shukrijumah, whom the FBI wants for questioning, met with alien smugglers in Mexico and Honduras and was seeking ways to bring al Qaeda members into the United States. Shukrijumah was seen in August in the Sonora province of northern Mexico, officials said.

Clearly, the war on terrorism is larger than Osama bin Laden if this is true.

 

Kerry Backfire: New TV Stations
Want to Air Vietnam Film

NewsMax.com [LINK] reports that the documentary “Stolen Honor” which has been scheduled to air on the Sinclair Broadcasting Network’s stations is getting the attention of new TV stations as well:

Complaints against the Sinclair Broadcasting network by John Kerry's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee may have backfired, with non-Sinclair TV stations now expressing an interest in airing the documentary "Stolen Honor," which chronicles the candidate's role in the anti-Vietnam War movement.

"A few other TV stations around the country have contacted the producer of this documentary as well," Sinclair spokesman Mark Hyman told nationally syndicated radio host G. Gordon Liddy on Tuesday. "So there appears to be some growing interest in making this available to the nation's viewers."

Hyman said that Sinclair's decision to air the documentary was driven in part by a desire to pick up the slack from other broadcast networks, which have increasingly shunned news coverage in favor of entertainment programming. Referring the 13 Vietnam-era POWs who appear in "Stolen Honor" criticizing Kerry for protesting the war alongside the likes of anti-American actress Jane Fonda, Hyman told Liddy, "If anybody has earned the right to be heard on the subject of Vietnam, it's these men, who suffered such horrific abuse and unspeakable torture."

"For 31 years John Kerry has run away from that," he added.
