Who are the "anti-Americans rooting for Kerry" that you are referring?
Just curious.


Jaque Chirac for one, he rooted for Kerry primarily because he wanted George
Bush to be a one-term President, presumably, he'd want Kerry to be a one-term
president as well. A successful US Presidency is the last thing he wants,
because he claims that America is a "hyper-power" and he consequently wants
America to lose. President Chirac would deliberately root for the politician
that he feels would be the weakest leader for America, he wants Jimmy Carters,
not Theodore Roosevelts.

He does a good enough job of it himself. Do you want a society where we
are not allowed to bacmouth our government? You know, something on the
order of Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany. Is THAT what you want?!

He uses the most expansive interpretation of government's powers in the US
Constitution so that he has the maximum amount of tools in his arsenal for
combatting terrorism. If the Supreame Court stops him, well then at least he
can claim that he made the maximum effort to stop the terrorists. If he
deliberately shys away from the use of government power, then the terrorists
might get an attack through when their might have been something he could have
done to stop them. Its not the President's job to determine the limits of his
own power, that falls under the perview of the courts. The job of the President
is to use the maximum number of tools at his disposal and if he goes too far,
then the checks and balances in the system would presumably stop him.
