Kerry Receives Communist Endorsement

By Jeff Gannon
Talon News
July 21, 2004

The Associated Press reported Monday that the head of the communist movement in Nicaragua and Sandinista Leader Tomas Borge announced his support for Sen. John Kerry's (D-MA) presidential bid.

The endorsement is not the first friendly relationship between the Massachusetts senator and the Sandinistas. In 1985, Kerry and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) led a delegation that met with Sandinista strongman Daniel Ortega, despite the Reagan administration's efforts to undermine Nicaragua's communist leader.

Kerry returned with a "peace plan" that called for the United States to stop assisting opponents of the junta. The House was convinced to reject an aid package to the resistance at the same time Ortega was traveling to Moscow to ask for $200 million more in support from the Soviets.

The Republican National Committee suggested that Borge must be one of the foreign leaders the Democratic presidential candidate says wants him to win in November.

"The cloud of mystery surrounding John Kerry's support by foreign leaders lifted a little over the weekend. Since Sen. Kerry won't tell us who they are we will continue to monitor New York's fine dining establishments hoping to glean some insight into the other still-mysterious foreign leaders supporting John Kerry," said RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke.

The RNC is returning to the issue of the unnamed foreign leaders who support Kerry in a new 30-second ad.

And rumors persist that in the Middle East, terrorist organizations are just thrilled with our current administration as it has increased their recruitment efforts.

True or not true? I don't know, but just as likely.

My God, the lies, misrepresentations and spin. Are there no decent supporters of the candidates out there that will not stoop to new lows to "impress" the voters?

Dude, I have political OCD...All I do is research and make sure my head isn't up my ass in the process...Hence, I am a hard-right conservative.

freerepublic.com is a great resource.

Federal tax cuts= less money to state and locals

Less money to state and local = they have to raise taxes

Zero sum. The Piper must be paid.

What tax cut?

hmmm. . .what's this model of yours?

If money stays local (doesn't go to the fed-level, and all of its overseas programs) doesn't it then get spent (and taxed) locally?

I've seen 35c in the $ bandied around as the amount of money received back in "new" tax revenue from tax cuts. This is obviously not "net" new money.

I took it from the statistic I saw that it includes the effect of the velocity of money (and assumptions on saving/investment).

Certainly, if I was an economist I wouldn't do a half-assed job and risk being laughed at by all the other economists .
