| In popular wisdom, one-time presidential runner-up Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) is likely to be nominated by President Barack Obama for Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State. But if Kerry does get the nod, a group credited with helping to thwart his presidential bid could re-organize to take him down once again. The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, a group formed of military veterans who served alongside Kerry, worked to bring attention to the senator’s anti-war activities following his military service and to raise doubts about the truth of Kerry’s own accounts of his conduct during the war

Most of the media and the senate (Democrats and Republicans) actually think this gigolo toad was indeed a war hero.....or they´re too lazy,indoctrinated,stupid,or fearful to consider the truth. He´ll be confirmed with little opposition. What a disgrace.

It´s different this time, the Swift Boat Veterans should only fight battles that they can win. They won the last time when Kerry was the liberal Democrat candidate for President. But this time they will be trying to influence a very different animal, weak kneed wimpy Republican Senators, many just pleased as punch to go along to get along with their good friends across the aisle, who will vote for Kerry no matter what because Kerry is a member of their Senate club. The Swift Boat Veterans should not waste their ammunition.

The Senate - now there´s a body of old turnips who wouldn´t know one end of a gun barrel from another. How many of them have spent a lifetime or more keeping their seats warm and dissing the rest of the country? if ever there was a case for term limits - two and out. Twelve years is plenty long enough to feed at the country´s trough.

In the end, Kerry brought about his own loss in 2004. He campaigned with celebrities who spoke for him, while mostly standing silent, like he did with president zero at the appointment announcement. He also paid his band of brothers to travel with him, and that became artificial pretty quickly. In short, he ran a lousy campaign. But the Swiftboat guys made a contribution to his defeat.

This article is 10 days old. Not sure why it´s in the must reads today. That being said...
"... most conservative senators are more concerned with preventing U.S. Amb. Susan Rice from ascending to the top spot..."
What´s worse, lying to the nation about a video or lying to the nation about one´s fellow troops committing war crimes and negotiating with the enemy with no authority to do so? When do we get to call it TREASON?
I hope the Swifties eviscerate Kerry.

Wait until he´s Sec-O-Something before scuttling his dinghy. Pretty much an easy way to excise him from the Senator For Life gig.
SecOState ? I´m for having this admin offending EVERYONE on the planet as much as possible. He´s a good candidate for that.
SecDef ? Probably on par with Loony Pancetta in term of the amount of damage he can do. We can fix that later.

For those who calculate that Scott brown may get in - this is Mass. Watch for the idiots vote in another kennedynmor some such ilk. Expose him and Bork him- the Dem bench is Marxists, liars and frauds- the kakistocracy on display.

Unfortunately this country is past the point where enough people care. These days people only care when it affects them directly, and that will not happen, as Kerry will do his damage overseas in many places that most people cannot even find on a map.

A senior Eurocrat sparked outrage last night after calling for the phrase “illegal immigrant” to be banned from the European Union.[Snip] She has instructed EU Commission staff to refer to foreigners who break border control laws as “irregular migrants” or simply “people” instead. But her attempt to dictate how the issue of immigration is discussed was savaged last night.

It was cynical. It was calculating. And it was done out of malice in a ham-fisted plot which went wrong. The trial spoke volumes about the sheer nastiness of the individuals involved. But it also lifted the lid on the bleak and often grotesque world of the welfare benefit scroungers--of whom there are not dozens,

A coral reef in Northern Australia severely damaged by warming seas has managed to completely heal itself in just 12 years, stunned researchers have found. The team found that being left alone to breed on its own was key. The discovery raises hope that other damaged reefs could ´regenerate´. The new research shows that an isolated reef off the northwest coast of Australia that was severely damaged by a period of warming in 1998. It was hit by coral bleaching, caused by higher water temperatures that break down the coral´s symbiotic relationship with algae that provide food for coral growth.

North Korea has transported two more missiles to the east coast, Seoul military sources have revealed, triggering speculation that it is ready for an abrupt missile launch. North Korea has loaded two intermediate-range missiles onto mobile launchers and hidden them in an unidentified facility near the east coast, South Korea´s Yonhap news agency has said. "It has been confirmed that North Korea, early this week, transported two Musudan mid-range missiles by train to the east coast and loaded them on vehicles equipped with launch pads," Yonhap quoted the official as saying.

As the US and China grow increasingly involved, Kim Jong-un must be brought into line if war is not to be triggered by an act of recklessness. There are two schools of thought about what lies behind North Korea’s increasingly frenzied posturing. The first goes like this: the rhetoric emanating from Pyongyang--including calls to “break the waists of the crazy enemies [and] totally cut their windpipes”--is no worse than their decades-old ritualistic promises to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”. What we are witnessing, according to this theory, is nothing more than an inexperienced leader

Anyone who remembers the halcyon dreams of the 1990s, of civil society spreading the world over, heralding a new peaceful, global millennium, must marvel at the path the young 21st century has taken. Even those who paid attention to global Jihad before the millennium could not imagine how vulnerable the West would prove in the coming, wildly asymmetrical war. Those who, over the course of the last 13 years, have awakened to the ever-growing danger of Islamism and to the astonishing inability of decent people--Muslims and non-Muslims--to effectively oppose its aggressions, owe themselves a brief lesson in cognitive warfare, and

Mark Sanford won Tuesday’s GOP runoff over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic, according to unofficial results. Sanford now faces five more weeks on the campaign trail before a May 7 showdown with Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, whose business background and moderate politics are expected to create a tight contest. Lowcountry voters haven’t elected a Democrat from the 1st District for more than three decades, but Colbert Busch already has shown

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
