Kerry

Today there was a march in New Orleans as part of the global day of protest against the war in Iraq. It’s been two years since the United States invaded. Over 1,500 US soldiers are dead and countless civilians — maybe as many as 100,000. It’s time for this madness to end. So we marched […]

My friend Jason Neville put this together from data collected at opensecrets.org and CNN. He couldn’t find a vote total for Peroutka, but I found a number on the candidate’s website. I thought it put an interesting perspective on the 2004 presidential race. Candidate Votes Money Raised Votes-Per-Dollar Cobb 104,087 $133,576 0.78 Badnarik 373,729 $841,498 […]

It doesn’t take a genius to discern that, even though the election results are not official yet, there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth, not to mention rending of garments and beating of breasts, amongst those who voted for Kerry and those who despise the Bush administration. But that’s absolutely the wrong attitude! Yes, […]

Two days until the election. I know a lot of people are sick of the hype. If you’re sick of it, please read no further. I just want to record my thoughts on the election before it goes down, for my own sake at least. I predicted a Bush victory six months ago, and I’m […]

Today our local news daily, the Times-Picayune, weighed in on the presidential race. They are endorsing… nobody. …we cannot recommend either George W. Bush or John Kerry with confidence…. We take the endorsement process seriously and would like to be able to offer voters our advice in this race, as we have in so many […]

Man, I thought the political rhetoric was pretty shrill this season, but last night I got an earful of some conservative AM radio that made my toes curl. This dude called the Democrats “vermin” and said the choice was between “Bush or death.” He also said the American people “fear” Teresa Heinz Kerry. I was […]

There’s a lot of presidential poll data flying around these days, but I’ve noticed very little of it mentions the electoral college. That’s kind of dumb, considering we don’t directly elect the president, more’s the pity. The Electoral Vote Predictor website breaks it down the way it needs to be done: electoral vote count. It […]

If I was in this town hall debate tonight and I got to put a question to Kerry, this is what I’d ask: Back when we were gearing up for the invasion of Iraq, and the drums of war were beating, I and just about everyone I knew could plainly see the whole thing was […]

The Kerry-Bush debate inspired me. It inspired me to donate $35 to David Cobb’s campaign.

Some of my friends seem to be living in a dream world. They hate Bush and are banking on a Bush defeat in November. Some of them are positively convinced he will lose. They see the president’s flaws so clearly that they cannot envision any other outcome. I’m afraid these people are in for an […]

I guess I will listen to Kerry’s speech tonight. I haven’t really checked him out. There are a number of things he could say to win my vote. If he denounces the war in Iraq and pledges to bring our troops home immediately, I’ll vote for him. If he denounces the Patriot Act and pledges […]

Our administrative assistant has affixed a “Harry Potter for President” bumper sticker to the top of her computer monitor. She says a lot of people have commented that he’d be better than Kerry or Bush.

So it looks like gasoline is shaping up to be a big campaign issue. Bush has attacked Kerry for supporting a 50-cent gas tax years ago, even though he never actually voted for it. The Bush campaign is scaremongering, plain and simple. Kerry, far from supporting a gas tax, has been attacking Bush for the […]
