Heinz-Kerry foolishly prattles on...

Teresa was busy acting important and is reported as rebutting a 'heckler' in Colorado.

During a question and answer session, a young man demanded to know why Kerry voted to give Bush authority to attack Iraq but voted against an $87 billion appropriation bill to support the war effort there.
"Is that the kind of thing he would do as president?," the man asked.
Heinz Kerry sharply asked the man whether he had read the legislation that was voted on.
When he said no, she told him that Kerry had supported $60 billion in military appropriations for Iraq, but would not vote for the full $87 billion because he considered it a "blank check."

When the term 'blank check' is commonly used, it means a signed check with no amount to be paid filled in, or is figurative for total freedom of action; carte blanche. Since there is a limit ($87 billion) this excuse she gives is not very accurate. Her attempt to belittle someone for not reading legislation is also a shame considering Kerry himself did not read the Patriot Act, though we all know the course that has taken.

She of course goes on to mention Halliburton, ignoring the reality that Clinton also used Halliburton in the Balkans despite Dyncorp winning what is known as LOGCAP, or Logistics: Civil Augmentation Program (hiring non-military contractors to do certain things).

Clinton basically sole-sourced Halliburton all of Bosnia until 1999 - despite agreeing to terms with the contract winner Dyncorp in 1997 for contracting out civilian operations.

This is not being mentioned to condemn Clinton's choice because his advisors were correct - Halliburton could do the job they needed, Halliburton was already there, and Halliburton had the most expertise in the field. For more information, read this by Byron York.

No Teresa, you husband didn't vote for the bill because he doesn't want the President to have a real chance of success. See, without the money how can we AFFORD more troops to send over there even if Bush wanted to -- how will you afford your 40,000 more troops for the entire military?

They blame bush for not having enough bullet-proof vests, but with Kerry voting no, where would we get the money for them? He determined the risk of Halliburton making money to be worth saying no to the very bullet-proof vests he would condemn Bush for not having for the troops. He even brings this up on his own website in a way to blame Bush for underfunding.

Making sure Halliburton doesn't make money is more important the equipping our troops as long as there is a Republican President it would seem. But once he's in office, *poof!*, he'll fund hiring 40,000 more troops. This is the most partisan, selfish, and immoral act to risk the lives of troops in order to smear your opponent.

Teresa then opened up the bag of idiocy and naivete in a way that only the sheltered and uniformed could possibly reach into, and pulled out this gem, "The way we live in peace in a family, in a marriage, in the world, is not by threatening people, is not by showing off your muscles. It's by listening, by giving a hand sometimes, by being intelligent, by being open and by setting high standards..."

Here we go again, echoing the same line as her husband on matters of how to run international affairs.

The way I live my life with my family or my marriage is really between me and those directly involved. No one of my family will fly a plane into my house, blow up the bus I ride, nor cut off my head!

But the world is a far different place than my family, and as such we need a far different approach. She is nothing short of a dim-wit to think listening, giving a hand, or pure intellectuality will stop terrorists, Iran, or North Korea.

She is the perfect example of the end result of years of relativism and deconstructionalism: We have someone who thinks that if we just sit down and talk everything will be fine since in the end we're all just humans. The sad part is only the prosperity and security of Western Civilization has made it possible to think this way, but it also Western Civilization that people like her find so very offensive and wrong.

This does not work and history shows us this with every castle, wall, moat, piece of armor, and weapon ever made. To ignore this reality is to put the entire nation and all our allies at an unacceptable level of risk and danger. A vote for Kerry is a vote for just this.

November approaches, as do our enemies.
