Candidate John Kerry tells it like it is. A supporter urged him to take on Shrub, and Kerry replied into a still-open microphone:

"Let me tell you, we've just begun to fight. We're going to keep pounding. These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen. It's scary."

This is a straightforward assessment of the Republican Party as presently constituted. Too bad the only time Kerry has said this is when he didn't realize the mic was hot.

This Washington Post article is worth reading, even with the hassle of free registration. The subject is the small but growing minority of families of service members killed in Iraq or serving there currently. The central focus of those beginning to speak out against the war is the complete lack of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the original and central focus of the Shrubster's campaign to invade.

An organization of military family members opposing the war can be found online. They are organizing a number of protest actions, including a " Dover to D.C. Memorial Procession: A trail of mourning and truth to honor those killed and wounded in Iraq" on March 14 & 15, which will begin where US soldiers killed come home - Dover Air Force Base.
