...suspect there'll be more finger pointing than soul searching. And that's a shame."

But, insists Reed, Kerry should have run a better campaign. "We can't let George Bush define our future. That's where the Dean and Kerry campaigns both came up short," he says ruefully. "Democrats need to put forward...
...challenge, Kerry told a reporter who had repeated the President's question that even though inspectors had found no stockpiles of unconventional weapons in Iraq, he believed even now that it was right to authorize the use of force.

They can also be just for a bit of fun. Along with FREE NELSON MANDELA, SOLIDARNOSC (Polish for Solidarity) and TROOPS OUT, the museum also proudly houses DOWN WITH PANTS and the all-encompassing...
What caused the Sinclair Broadcast Group, whose top executives have been large contributors to President George W. Bush and the Republican Party, to seemingly backtrack on plans to air a documentary attacking Senator John Kerry? Stolen Honor, in which some Vietnam veterans assail Kerry's antiwar activism, had reportedly been scheduled to air on 62 Sinclair affiliates.
