Yesterday, Senator John F. Kerry wrote an op-ed in response to Mitt Romney’s piece published earlier this week in which the former governor argued against ratifying the New START Treaty. Kerry’s op-ed was not only hyper-partisan but, as The Heritage Foundation’s James Carafano notes, quite inaccurate as well. Kerry’s op-ed was little more than partisan drivel. It lacked any sort of serious analytical rigor. I would expect a better quality of analysis and thought from the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

National Energy Tax Bill
From Politico:
Senate authors of a controversial climate change bill heralded EPA modeling results unveiled Tuesday as proof that their plan would have a limited pinch on Americans’ pocketbooks.
Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) found many reasons to gloat after getting the 74-page study that showed the overall costs from their legislation’s major global warming provisions would cost an average household between $80 to $150 per year.
“There’ll be some people who will want to demagogue that politically, but that’s less than $1 a day,” Lieberman told reporters. “Is the American household willing to pay less than $1 so we don’t have to buy oil from foreign countries, so we can create millions of new jobs, so we…
Swiftboating Obama?
One of the men who chronicled Sen. John Kerry’s exploits in Vietnam in the 2004 best-seller Unfit for Command has a new book out. Dr. Jerome Corsi’s latest project, The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, aims to reveal a side of Sen. Obama seldom covered by the mainstream media. Jacob Heilbrunn of The National Interest challenges the merits of Corsi’s critique in his article “Swiftboating Obama.”
I have not read Dr. Corsi’s new book. However, there is nothing wrong with taking an honest look at Sen. Obama’s life. The sycophants in the mainstream media have failed to scrutinize Sen. Obama’s past. All presidential candidates should be…
Sen. Obama Commences Flip-Flop on Iraq
The Obama campaign continues to use surrogates to attack Sen. McCain’s record of service in order to deflect the mounting criticism of Sen. Obama’s newfound willingness to shift positions on Iraq. Preempting the inevitable flurry of flip-flop charges against Sen. Obama, Sen. Kerry was on Face the Nation yesterday calling Sen. McCain a flip-flopper: “…John McCain has flip-flopped on more issues than, you know, I was even ever accused possibly of thinking about. I mean, this is extraordinary, what he’s done.” Sen. Kerry’s charges are laughable–this coming from the guy who voted for the war before he voted against.
Sen. Obama’s position on Iraq is evolving. Throughout…
