Down the Memory Hole: Mr. Freeze
Posted by Bill "Awptimus" has the details that counterspin the Kerry Campaign's claims against their candidate's long-term support of a nuclear freeze in the Reagan era: [James M. Shannon] and Kerry quickly began to battle for the approval of the state’s liberal interest groups, which enjoyed heightened influence in Democratic primaries. First and foremost among those groups was the nuclear freeze movement. By the early 1980s, supporters of a freeze on developing nuclear weapons systems had transformed into a vibrant national movement–fed by widespread public fears about the global presence of 50,000 nuclear warheads and loose talk by officials from Ronald Reagan’s administration about the possiblity–and ‘manageability’–of nuclear war…In spring, with the September 18 primary date months away, candidates seeking an endorsement were asked about their positions. On a crucial test, the Freeze Voter ‘84 questionnaire submitted to both candidates, Shannon outscored Kerry by 100 to 94…Kerry revised his answers, tied Shannon with a perfect score… I'm shocked.

Posted by: Al at October 5, 2004 07:07 PM You're shocked, Bill? Me, too, but mine stems from the fact that somebody out-liberaled Kerry. I dodn't think it could have been done.

If you want to let cBS know how you feel, do what I did today. I went to the grocery store and bought a box of frozen generic store brand waffles and placed them in a box with an old pair of flip-flops I had and mailed them to cBS news in NY, Attn: Dan Rather. Only cost a few bucks to mail. Let cBS know how you feel - mail a package today!!

Posted by: TallDave at October 5, 2004 08:56 PM Since the early 1970's Kerry has been on the dovish side on every single national defense issue: he has been consistently the candidate for appeasement and accomodation of our enemies. Kerry cannot be trusted with national security: period. Posted by: Another Thought at October 5, 2004 11:20 PM |
