Kerry picks John Edwards for his Vice President
"On July 6, presumed Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry invited North Carolina Senator John Edwards to be his running mate in the 2004 presidential campaign.Edwards, a rival of Kerry during the 2004 presidential primary season, accepted the offer during a telephone conversation on the morning of July 6. Kerry announced his decision first in an e-mail to his supporters and then at a Pittsburgh rally."(http://usinfo.state.gov/dhr/Archive/2004/Jul/06-648242.html)
By finally picking John Edwards for his VP candidate, Kerry is closing in on the polls and leaving Bush in the dust. Lately, Bush hasn't been doing good since polls show Bush with the lowest job approval rating of presidency. Let's see how things shape up for the contenders. And where is Nader in all of this?

I think that the combination of the two will be dinamic.Kerry made a smart move . The only thing that Bush has going for himself is the job increase,which by the way seems to be a last resort. I had a hard time voting between the two anyway, Kerry and Edwards. Its seems as though is is only a matter of time for Bush to leave office. it appears to me that he seems to be finishing the mess his father started any way. we have truly been deceived by him from his election and Lord help us, 9-11. The Bush Family has been unchanging and imprudent with thier actions as a whole , in my opinion. the killing started in the Home State and the moment they get back in office they started killing again. I am no pro-black activast whom is seeking revenge , or an inhuman relect of time who is hoping that someone else says what I feel. I am a wife , a mother, a student, and a United States Veteran who tired of they lies and hourse-dung. We all deserve the truth of 9-11, and even the Election of bush for President. Can there be no answer given for the degrace this man have done to us as a nation? I am proud the a free spirit. How can these things happen and just keep happening? I love the thought Having power, but with great power comes greater responsability. I don't want to be president, however the thought has crossed my mind. But i do want a person calling better plays in the game of " OUR LIVES ". God bless Kerry and Edwards. May the sun always rise in their favor. These men , although I have never met them , I pray for everyday along with the rest of my family that is fighting in the WAR. I hope is whole thing comes to an end soon. I pray that these are not the last days. I hope that someone reads this and understand that we are a team and I am just a player. Myy part may be small but togather we can all make it happen. God bless and have a nice one.

kerry - Liar,Liar, when will he ever tell the truth?
Seen this one??? Sent from a friend & now passing it along to you. It IS very interesting..& you know me..NOTHING is sent by me about this stuff but I found it VERY interesting
Heinz Corporation
Shortly after reading the following e-mail content, I happened to look at the label of a jar of Heinz sandwich slice pickles. Yep...."Made in Mexico." Check some of your Heinz products.
Sen. John Kerry keeps talking about U.S. corporations leaving this country and setting up shop in foreign countries, taking thousands of jobs with them. He is right, because that has happened. However, he is trying to blame it on George W. Bush.
As far as I know, Bush has not moved one factory out of this country because he is not the owner of a single factory.
That cannot be said about Kerry and his wife, Teresa Heinz-Kerry. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Kerrys own 32 factories in Europe and 18 in Asia and the Pacific. In addition, their company, the Heinz Company, leases four factories in Europe and four in Asia. Also,they own 27 factories in North America, some of which are in Mexico and the ! Caribbean.
I wonder how many hundreds of American workers lost their jobs when these plants relocated in foreign countries. I also wonder if the workers in Mexico and Asia are paid the same wages and benefits as workers in the United States.
Of course they're not. However, Kerry demands that other companies that relocate should pay the same benefits they did in the U.S. Why does he not demand this of the Heinz Company, since he is married to the owner?
If Kerry is elected, will he and his wife close all those foreign factories and bring all those jobs back to America? Of course they won't. They're making millions off that cheap labor.
Just one more piece of evidence to support the fact that John Kerry is nothing more than a pathological liar and will say anything at all to be elected. Come on people, open your eyes!!!
PLEASE SEND THIS ONE DOWN-LINE WHETHER YOU LIKE KERRY OR NOT....IT IS SOMETHING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SHOULD BE MADE AWARE.....THANKS.

America is a Christian nation, and God does not approve of the unholy choice of John Edwards. John Kerry and the Satan worshipping democratic party are attempting to destroy this nation. GOD HAS BEEN ANGERED BY ALL OF THIS LIBERAL MOCKERY!! President Bush is God's chosen servant, and if we refuse to re-elect him in November, then God will smite us all with a terrible plague worse than AIDS or cancer. I have been watching FOX News recently and Bill O'Reilly has been talking about the conspiracy that John Kerry and the actress Drew Barrymore are involved in. They are planning to take over the world, burn all bibles, ban Christianity, and force everyone to become a sex-crazed weirdo.

Just another one of liberal kerry distortions:
[Open letter to veterans signed by twenty-one Medal of Honor recipients]
Dear fellow veterans:
We have listened to Senator Kerry falsely attack President Bush for months over funding for veterans, and it's time to set the record straight. The truth is President Bush has led the way on improving veterans' benefits, supporting our troops and restoring honor and dignity to the White House.
Since 2001, President Bush has increased veterans funding by over $20 billion, and funding for veterans' health care has increased by 40 percent since he took office. Funding for veterans has gone up twice as fast under President Bush as it did under President Clinton, and those who accuse the President of cutting funding are simply not being honest with veterans.
Meanwhile, John Kerry voted against a $1.3 billion increase in veterans health care, skipped votes on concurrent receipt and voted against funding for our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. And while he talks a good game, Kerry's record shows he is out of the mainstream. The American Flag symbolizes our ideals, our history and our values. President Bush shares this belief and supports a Constitutional Amendment banning desecration of the Flag. John Kerry believes this is "an attack on free speech."
We are disturbed that John Kerry would try to scare veterans with his false accusations, and we are disappointed in his lack of support for today's troops. Please join us in setting the record straight and showing your support for President Bush -- a leader who has proven his support for those who have served, backs our troops defending our nation and shares our values.
Sincerely,

Boy, now here is a way to end overcrowding in the prison system of America.
Saudi man beheaded for attempted rape
(DPA)
18 July 2004
RIYADH - A Saudi man was beheaded on Sunday after being found guilty of attempted rape of a Saudi woman in Riyadh, an interior ministry statement said.
“Adnan bin Ali bin Ayed al-Shahrani, a Saudi, jumped into one of the houses and attempted to rape the woman of the house forcefully under the threat of a knife. He put the knife against her neck, tried to suffocate her and threatened to kill her child. He could not continue his act because she resisted him,” the statement said.
It added that al-Shahrani admitted his crime, saying he was acting under the influence of alcohol.
“Whoever dares to commit such a crime will receive the same fate,” the interior ministry statement said.
Saudi Arabia practises the punishment of death by beheading under Islamic law. Sunday’s execution was the ninth this year. Last year, 25 people were executed.

I am a Vietnam Vet. Served with the 101st Airborn, 69 to 70. It was very hard to watch a man, Hanio Kerry & Jane, protesting while soildiers where still in harms way. The Viet Cong used this for their best interest. Why don't the American people see through this guy. He is using his so called Hero statis now, which I question, which he was ahamed of in the 70's. This man does not and should not be president of the dog pound!!!!!!!!. Steve
Will the real john kerry please stand up?

I just got home from viewing the new movie Farenheit 911 and it opened my eyes to some scary facts. And that is Bush is out to get himself richer, and hill send our men and women over sees to accomplish that. If you view the movie you'll see just where I'm coming from. As you Know Bush has owned an oil corporation and has had ties to the Taliban leaders. These are the same leaders who the U.S. government escorted safely out of our country just days after 911 with no kind of interogation. Going back to Bush's oil corporation, it is a proven fact that Bush has recieved funding from the same Bin Laden family that he's supposedly going after. Maybe that's why they were escorted out of the U.S. so safely when no commercial airlines were able to fly? Bush's corporation get's richer from the manufacturing of military tanks equipment etc... Let me end my opinion by saying that the president is supposed to be for the people and lately it seems that the most recent presidents have been for themselves. And may god bless America and those who govern over it, because without the president listening to the supreme ruler of all mankind there WILL BE NO PROSPERITY. The war on terrorism exists but cannot be won without the knowlegde and wisdom of God speeking to a president that is willing to take heave to the almighty.

Dear Airman 1st Class Williams,
I challenge you to investigate the charges that Farenheit 9/11 makes. The 9/11 report already disproves that the charges you mention are not true. Don't be fooled that just because Michael Moore call s this movie a documentary that it has anything to do with the truth.
By the way, you did mention something right. The war on terrorism can't be won without the wisdom of God and a president willing to "heed" the Almighty. Investigate. Which candidate truly does that. (Hint- use the Bible to judge that one)

Lets face it guys- both parties are crooks with alterior motives. It always comes down to the lesser of two evils. Religion is the reason of millions of deaths in our world history. Dont assume your particcular religion is correct and force it on other people. You would be just as offended if you were in the minority. Empathy folks EMPATHY
