Town of Braintree

dmm

not sure what u mean by listening skills.
all i know is that you spew right wing propaganda constantly. i like to keep an open mind & vote for the candidate whom i think will serve our country or as in the case of braintree, better.

bush is too stubborn to acknowledge that it was a mistake to go into iraq. even members of his own party acknowledge that.
maybe you should ''practice up on your reading AND listening skills''

have a good day.

Three Kerry friends


Three Kerry friends


It is late in the day, but there is still time to ask the Kerry-Edwards campaign and the Democratic National Committee about their financing sources. Equally important to ask is just what do these ridiculously rich and strange people expect to get for their millions of dollars.

Let's look at three of Kerry's friends, probably responsible for at least $30 million in donations.

Steven Bing: Our Victorian ancestors had the right words to describe Bing. He would have been known as ''a cad and a bounder,'' while today he is dismissed as a ''poor little rich boy.'' Born in 1965, Steve is approaching his midlife crisis with all the arrogance of having inherited on his 18th birthday a $600 million New York real estate legacy created by his grandfather Leo. Steven's doctor father, Peter, worked in the White House during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations.
Bing dropped out of Stanford in his junior year and directed the 1993 erotic thriller, ''Every Breath,'' characterized by critics as ''pointless and nasty.'' His production company, Shangri-La Entertainment, sold a number of film projects over the years, but none were produced.

Bing spends time with an alleged capo in the Colombo crime family, Dominic ''Donny Shacks'' Montemarano. Sometimes spoken of as Bing's partner, Montemarano now is in a federal penitentiary on racketeering charges. Other friends are real estate magnate Ron Burkle and Hollywood fixtures Warren Beatty, James Caan and William Goldman


Peter Benjamin Lewis. He likes to brag that in 1974 -- during the Vietnam War - he bought Andy Warhol pictures of Mao Tse-tung and hung them in Progressive's offices. His employees demanded that the pictures of the old monster be taken down. Lewis refused. Thirty years later, the Mao pictures have some value. One hangs in the Progressive boardroom where, maybe, it motivates Lewis' business ethics.
Lewis has a reported wealth estimated at $3 billion. Progressive Corporation, the fourth-largest auto insurer in North America, employs about 14,000 people with yearly revenues of $8 billion. It is based in Mayfield Village, Ohio. The mogul describes himself as ''half screwball, half businessman.'' His former wife, Toby Devan Lewis, with whom Lewis remains friends, is curator of Progressive's art collection.

In 2000, while visiting his daughter on her sheep ranch in New Zealand, Lewis was caught by customs officials with marijuana in his brief case. He was arrested, his yacht searched and his stash discovered. Charged, he admitted the offense to the police, made it clear that he did not want a lawyer and, the next day, pleaded guilty to charges of importing the plant and resin. After spending the night in jail, Lewis, now with a lawyer and having made a massive donation to a local drug-treatment center, was released without a conviction and the case sealed.

Lewis is, by repute, a generous philanthropist. Foundation sources say he gives to art galleries, museums and colleges with abandon, provided that his wishes are carried out promptly.


George Soros. Born Dzjegdzhe Shorash in Hungary, the money-manipulating billionaire is John Kerry's chief cheerleader.
Even worse, this evil bean counter, because of his millions, is being taken seriously.

Sufficient to say that his Open Society Foundation has enabled communists throughout Europe to remain in power and his funding of new totalitarian movements, using the cloak of a new democracy, has created anarchy.

Bing, Lewis and Soros are helping pay the musicians on the Kerry-Edwards bandwagon. Do Americans really want to dance to the tune they call?

war with an intransigent, evil,



War on terror the key to this election

The United States is at war with an intransigent, evil, heartless enemy who will never stop trying to kill us. That fact, more than any other, should guide voters in choosing the next president.

George Bush has proven he knows the stakes and is dedicated to the fight, regardless of how some of the weak-hearted might complain. War does not go swimmingly. It?’s an ugly, necessary business, but we abandon it at worse peril than we now face in Iraq or Afghanistan.

Sen. John Kerry has proclaimed slickly in every debate that he has plans to do everything better, including better intelligence and better prosecution of the war.

The president?’s track record for the past four years in the White House and earlier as governor of Texas is a known quantity. He sets clear goals and achieves them. He does what he says he?’ll do.

That resolve has led Libya to abandon its nuclear ambitions and won us respect in the world.

Kerry has done little but promise to bring the United Nations into concluding the Iraqi War.

That poses two problems. First, France and Germany have made it clear they won?’t get involved in Iraq no matter who is president. Kerry could overcome that only by making those nations a ?“coalition of the bribed and coerced.?” Second, it now appears that those nations and key United Nations officials ?– even Secretary General Kofi Anan?’s son ?– were raking money out of the United Nations Oil for Food Program. What incentive must Kerry offer them?

Kerry spent 20 years in the Senate, yet not one major piece of legislation bears his name. He has no track record of leadership even in advancing his own liberal causes.

He voted consistently against military weapons programs and against beefing up our nation?’s intelligence ability. Although a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, his attendance, let alone any contribution to improving intelligence, has been abysmal.

Never again will terrorism be ?“a minor nuisance.?” How this nation fights it will be a matter of life and death for years to come.

George W. Bush has a commendable domestic agenda to improve education, reform Social Security and continue to let Americans keep more of what they earn.

But any issue of domestic policy is irrelevant as long as the nation is under threat. We can?’t enjoy what we aren?’t free and alive to experience.

George W. Bush has the track record and resolve to finish this fight we didn?’t start.
