    This is not "his own stuff", it is coming from news sources. Nice try at wordsmithing again. One of these days, you might benefit from it. NOT TODAY

    Just because Matt Drudge says it doesn't mean it's a fact.

    Uh, no it doesn't.

    Drudge claims it to be his own work...

    **World Exclusive**
    **Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT**


    Are you accusing him of intellectual property theft?

    He's saying it's coming from News sources. I won't believe him until I see verification from all the "sources" he cited in his own article.

    And even then, to predict that this will ruin Kerry's campaign is laughable given history.

    Nope, the crux of the article is built on the investigations at these *very reputable* new agencies. Not a good day for you, is it Major? You fear me.

    Less than 24 hours after getting whipsawed, railroaded, and razzledazzled by me and being tricked into angrily citing your resume in a harebrained self esteem exercise, and then turning into Peter Fonda in Easy Rider in an attempt to justify your unceremonious exeunt from the big time into the slower JV pace of barefoot dropouts, you get cuffed and stuffed by Major in classic Major fashion.

    Quit while you're ahead, player. This is conduct unbecoming.

    No, the crux of the article is Drudge's <I>claim</I> that investigations are going on at those very reputable agencies. He provides no evidence for that, except his own word. Thus, this article is built on his own work.

    You fear me.

    My only fear in regards to you is that some gullible person actually believes something you write and becomes substantially dumber as a result.

    Even if the investigations were going on, that means nothing. They could be investigation UFO's too, but that doesn't mean they exist.

    To say someone is investigation something doesn't mean a bit of guilt on anybody's part.

    As much as I detest Kerry's portrayal of himself as one of the people when he married into the Heinz family fortune, I will not discredit his military actions nor his actions after the war.

    Though he will not get my vote, Kerry joined the US Navy and was wounded in battle. That is admirable.

    The fact that after serving and being wounded he came back and protested the war does not negate his service. He had seen firsthand the horrors of war and had a much clearer view of what was happening there.

    Though he will not get my vote based on his ideals, i think its deplorable that people will attack his military record.

    more SCARE TATICS from the GOP

    they can't debate and win based on the issues so they try to smear their opponents.

    They tried and and tried with Clinton

    They spent 8 years digging up dirt on Gore to use in 2000

    Even T_J was here spouting every crazy story about Bill White in an attempt to scare people into voting for Orlando.

    Now it begins with Kerry. Their goal is not to actually prove any of these alligations, but only to put doubt into people's minds.

    They ignore and dance around personal issues of GWB (AWOL, Cocaine, Drunk Driving) but some sketching tabloid aka Drudge reports this and every neo-crazy comes like a trainined seal to rejoyce.

    Pretty pathetic that the right has such little confidence in their ability to win based on issues.

    He had sex when he was single. I think Republicans are against that.

    More from Drudge:

    CONRESSIONAL QUARTERLY'S CRAIG CRAWFORD SENDS TO ASSOCIATES IN E-MAIL: 'Drudge item on Kerry intern issue is something Chris Lehane (clark press secy) has shopped around for a long time -- it was one reason the Gore vetters in 2000 shied away from Kerry as a running mate choice -- their conclusion that it wasn't bad enough to disqualify him, except for the fact that they couldn't risk it as they were trying so hard to distance themselves from Clinton's personal failings (note: Lehane worked for Gore at the time -- and briefly advised Kerry during this campaign). The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it.' Crawford reports that Lehane strenuously denies involvement.

    A man's personal life has absolutely nothing to do with his ability or inability to do his job. I don't care if he's humping pigs as long as he's doing his job. Most Americans feel this way, though Republicans would have you believe differently.

    Am I right that I'm seeing conservatives criticize Kerry for membership in a wealthy family? wtf? That's some good stuff.
