TOPICAL GUIDE TO AMERICAN POLITICS 

JOHN KERRY                RETURN TO 110-100 TOPICAL GUIDE AMERICAN POLITICS                           

06/17/06   Senator John Franchurian Candidate 2008 Kerry, D-MA, the French looking guy who served in Vietnam, puts forth a resolution to set a hard deadline for withdrawal of our forces from Iraq.  Even Left Wing icons Hillary Rodham  and USA Today can see the error of the idea as strategy against an enemy they are reluctant to admit even exists.  However, in a stunningly rare moment of lucidity, the Senate defeats the Kerry proposal 93-6.  Republicans in the House, go one step further, luring Democrats into a need to vote, and go on record, on a non-binding resolution, up or down, on the "War on Terror", including Iraq, walking away with a 256-153 result in support, including 42 Democrats faced with tough election races this Fall.  What Democrats on the Upper West Side, and New York Times chairman “Pinch” Arthur Sulzberger Jr. fail to understand is that in most of the country politicians need to face real voters.  JES
