Some readers have criticised the attention I drew to John Kerry's miserable Senate attendance record earlier this year, but it's looking more and more relevant all the time.

Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry has criticized President Bush's response to the 9/11 Commission report, insisting that he would do a better job of fighting the war against terror.

But according to the Republican National Committee, Kerry missed most of the public hearings when he sat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence between 1993 and 2000.

One of those hearings, the RNC indicated, happened about a year before the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States and focused on warnings of possible terrorist strikes and how those warning should be handled. In all, the RNC researchers discovered, Kerry missed 38 of 49 public hearings during the eight years he served on the intelligence panel.

John Kerry's complaints about President Bush's decisions regarding intelligence ring a little hollow.

I also find it funny that Kerry was saying Bush should call for a special session of Congress to deal with the issues brought up in the 9/11 Commission's report. I was just wondering that if a special session were actually called would he attend?

Yeah...probably not.

Bush's ideology of imperialist fascism deceptively disguised as so-called patriotic compassionate conservatism will lead America into collsion with God. This country cannot rightfully claim to be the beacom of freedom in the world while depriving other peoples, especially Iraqis, the God-given right to choose their own form of government.

Pearl: How true! I'd forgotten how the Iraqis has elected Saddam to the presidency unanimously. I'm sure they loved the rape rooms and plastic shredders, too.

With only two months left before the general election, I am pleased that President Bush has been able to erase John Kerry's shallow bounce coming out of the DNC. What is even more encourageing is the fact that the President has been able to do so without drawing much attention to John Kerry's voting record in the Senate. With three Presidential debates scheduled for October, President Bush will easily pull ahead of his challenger by pointing out what John Kerry REALLY believes in;
Higher Taxes, Racial Preference (Racism), Bigger Government, Smaller Military, United Nations Approval to Defend Ourselves and Liberal Judges.
I see a victory for President Bush by at least 7 precentage points.
