Apparently the Kerry campaign has finally tossed Joe Wilson overboard. Check out what happens when you go to RestoreHonesty.com.

Down the memory hole.

Somehow, I suspect that, even after getting rid of Berger and Wilson, he's still got a lot of ballast to dump if he wants to win this fall, and he won't be able to do it without alienating the base. And his judgement (or lack thereof) in embracing them in the first place is one of the reasons that I'll have to hold my nose and vote for Bush this fall.

Linky no workie!

Ummm...that's the point. The Kerry campaign pulled down the page.

And that's why it's so frustrating - he will be able to dump his earlier views without problems, he will be able to outrun Berger and Wilson, because Big Media is behind him 110%. Nobody will call him on anything, ask an awkward question during an interview or press conference (or, if someone does, it won't be covered by anyone else), anything like that. Can you imagine what would happen

Looking at the historical Big Picture, the Republican party isn't that much "better" than the Democrat party. The Democratic party (really referring to the national Democratic party) is so odious, so unserious about the world and the major issues, that I can't imagine voting for Kerry. And it's all due to their great big echo chamber in the press.

I think Rand and I are in a similar boat - really, we're in the AnyoneButDNC/Kerry group, instead of pro-Bush.

Okay, spleen vented. :)

And that is why we PREVIEW before we POST.

First paragraph should have ended: Can you imagine what would have happened if Bush really WAS attached to any of these scandals (aside from the feverish spin of the NYT)?

They emptied the google cache of the page as well. Very very excellent revisionism of the roots of history.

One would think that Kerry could master the Internet - looks like he has Mastered the Internet a little to good.

"I'll have to hold my nose and vote for Bush this fall."

Me too, because I keep seeing this picture in my mind of Kerry and the Viet Cong rep in Paris, Kerry and Daniel Ortega in El Salvador -- and I never, ever want to see Kerry and Terror Leader Du Jour in DC.

You left out Yasser Arafat, who, if he's still breathing, will undoubtedly be the first foreign "dignitary" invited to the Kerry White House.

As for Dems vs. GOP--The Dems are an unserious opposition, whose program seems to only consist of vacating rational positions allowing the GOP to occupy them even if they contradict other GOP positions. (See Rand's comments on the death of Federalism.)

Neither party will last much past the election.

The Ds will go first but there is no way the current Republican coalition can hold. Sullivan and Santorum in the same Party? I don't think so.

BTW I blogged this over at Winds of Change on May 16.

2003.

And Sullivan was such a rock solid Republican prior to Bush.

National Security is the Buzz word in this election. Kerry is very indecisive and his wife is from Mozambique!?! Bush "the cowboy" should win because he has policy and reliable personnel in place if all hell breaks loose.

Ibillman - you're absolutely right, and that's why the Big Media have been keeping any positive news about national security (and it's immediate corollaries if you buy into the Bush Doctrine - the efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq). They would keep it out altogether if they didn't feel that some of it would hurt Bush short-term.

It's the RNC/Bush's job this autumn to make it the issue in everyone's mind on Election Day. I personally think the election hinges on how successful they do that.

Heh. Now its even better - the link takes you to the Kerry for Pres. website, and they can just pretend that's what it always did.

Politically speaking Andrew Sullivan is a cheap date. *Any* party or candidate that promised to love and cherish homosexuals would draw his allegiance, although he might need a few tens of thousands of words to rationalize his choice if we were talking about, say, the Taliban or Idi Amin. Never saw so intellectually gifted a man so pathetically ruled by his hormones.
