09/26/2004: "Leopards don’t change their spots"

One of the few consistencies of the Kerry campaign has been the claim that Mr. Kerry would have better foreign policy than the current administration because he would be able to work more effectively with the leaders of other countries. So why do Mr. Diplomacy and his cohorts in the “inclusive” Democratic party insist on insulting the interim leader of Iraq and the leaders of the Coalition countries by calling them the Coalition of the Coerced and insinuating Mr. Allawi is a puppet? Oddly enough the puppet verbiage is exactly how the terrorists have been trying to portray the interim government of Iraq. Whose side are they on? I knew the terrorists were picking up the DNC talking points and using them against us via Al Jazeera but I didn’t realize the reciprocal nature until the DNC started using the terrorists talking points with our media here. What a small world.

With only 37 days left until Election Day, another milestone in the Kerry campaign has been reached. They have finally settled on a central issue for the campaign, the War. With amazing accuracy they have also figured out which war is actually important to the American people. The War on Terror. So is it surprising to anyone that the man who began his political career criticizing the Vietnam War with blatant disregard for the soldiers still fighting it will end his political career on the theme that Iraq is a failure, wrong war, wrong place, wrong time with blatant disregard for the soldiers still fighting there.

The signs were there early on but the inability to decipher any coherent message from the Kerry campaign kept most Democrats hornswoggled. Straight from the Democratic playbook of the Vietnam Era, Mr. Kerry voted for the war and then voted against the appropriations to fund the peace. Regardless of his reasons, (the latest being that it was a “blank check,”) the end result would have been the same without those appropriations. Helicopters would be rushing the last of the refugees out of our embassy in Baghdad and the slaughter would ensue afterward. Fortunately this time, the Republicans held a congressional majority and the appropriations were passed. History didn’t repeat itself but leopards still don’t change their spots.
