Kerry's mom was right He had non


Sen Kerry's use of Mary Cheney's sexual orientation was a deliberate attempt to draw votes from President Bush. But all the outrage and pecking at the perimeter only hides the real core of Mr. Kerry. It is his personal ambition that is at the core of who he is and there is no one he will not use to achieve his goals.
The Swifties have seen him in action and they don't trust his judgment or integrity, they have seen his core. He was a loose cannon charging and flailing and putting their patrols in danger. He was undisciplined and untrustworthy. He returned to the States and trashed them to launch his political career at their peril and expense. He does not care about others, only his political ambitions to become president.
He has had this ambition since his youth. It is this ambition that makes him dangerous because it is only self serving. His desire to be president is the only reason he is running. He desires power and fame. This is what many people see in him when they look and listen, but can't quite get the clarity to see what's really there. Their heart tells them he isn't who he seems to be and there is something there that disturbs them.
Sen. Kerry's story of his mother on her death bed reveals much about her knowledge of her son. There was a reason she said integrity was what he most needed to have. He had none, and that obviously bothered her.
Through time there is hope that someone can change, but time alone will not do it. Sadly he has not heeded his mother's words. Mary Cheney is only the latest of the many victims he has used and will continue to use to promote his goals. She was expendable and of no value to him except as a tool to further his ambition.
Character in our president does matter. Sen. Kerry is the same at his core today as he was 30 years ago. Unfortunately for all of us, he is one step away from having the kind of power he has always wanted to wield. God help us if he achieves it.

Task investigating voting fraud

Task force investigating voting fraud in counties across the state

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has set up a statewide task force to investigate voter fraud complaints, saying problems are popping up in so many places it doesn't make sense to investigate them separately.The department has received complaints about voter registration or absentee ballot issues in Bay, Leon, Orange, Alachua, Broward and Miami-Dade counties and also plans to work with investigators in Duval County who are already looking into fraud allegations there.``We're finding that there appears to be some common thread between some of the investigations that are occurring,'' said FDLE spokesman Tom Berlinger. ``We decided to approach it from a statewide perspective rather than a local perspective.''

Many of the problems seem to be cropping up with forms turned in by groups that hire people to register new voters. An FDLE press release singled out the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, saying its ``workers have been connected with the widespread voter irregularities.''``We think that a lot of this is going to be driven by financial motives where individuals were paid by the piece and turned in as much as they could,'' Berlinger said. ACORN said an employee it fired has falsely reported voter fraud to get back at the organization.``He was terminated for a number of violations of ACORN rules. He wanted his job back, we wouldn't give it to him,'' said Faith Gay. ``He is trying to put the spotlight on the entity that fired him.''She said she was unaware of problems with registration forms turned in by its employees. The group registered 212,298 voters in Florida this year. It hired about 200 people as part of the registration drive. Among problems that have been reported to the state:
3,000 photocopied registration forms were turned into Leon County elections officials. Most switched voters' party affiliation to Republican without their knowledge
.
Alachua County learned people had their party affiliation changed to Republican against their will. The problem was discovered in a batch of 1,200 forms turned in by one man. Each of the forms registered voters as Republican. Two dozen voter registration forms in Duval County contained addresses that don't exist. At least three forged signatures were found on voter registration forms in Bay County. Some students in Orange County were reregistered to vote without their knowledge after signing petitions.``We take these issues seriously because they impact the voters of our state,'' said Alia Faraj, a Department of State spokeswoman. ``If anyone has any information on voter fraud, I urge them to please contact their supervisor of elections or the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.''The FDLE doesn't plan to contact voters as part of the investigation before the Nov. 2 election, saying the department believes they are victims of fraud and it would rather focus on the people that tampered with registration forms.
``We don't want to scare anybody away from the polls,'' Berlinger said.

fyi

If you are a registered Democrat or Repblican do you have to vote party lines in an election? I don't think so. The only time your affiliation counts is in the primaries. If Kerry loses in that Florida on November 2nd their votes won't count on November 3rd. Baby Huey Gore will see to that. If Kerry loses the election he'll try to void all the military votes like the Dems did in the last election. So much with ''support the troops''. He would just as soon none of them could vote.
