 Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2004 8:48 pm Post subject: Just how did Kerry make it this far? |
 |
|
I remember watching the news regarding Viet Nam, listening to the casualty reports, and watching the protestors when I was a child.
I can recall my dad, (Korean vet) showing disgust at the sight of the protestors with their signs stating our soldiers were murderers, baby killers etc.
Of course at the time, I had no idea why the protests started, who was involved etc....but I did hear the word "communists" used quite often (in my house) when the subject came up.
To the point, how did Kerry make it as far as he has in politics.
He made himself very well known when he jumped in the public arena.... People in his state HAD to know what he was about! Are there no veterans in his state? Certainly there are out there somewhere.
It cannot be his charisma, he is flat lining in that department.
Cannot be his good looks, (no explaination needed)
Certainly not his Character....since he has none...
Who backed his campaign, and how were the voters in his state convinced he was the right man for the job?
Lastly, Thank GOD for SBVT for revealing the truth, and for everyother military person (past and present) thank you for your service and sacrifice.

The left pretty much controlled the media. And many right thinking Americans put a higher priority on being liked and accepted then defending the honor of our men & women in uniform.

nitash,
Um, remember that Teddy Kennedy is the other senator from MA. Maybe the folks in MA don't care about charisma, looks, or character. |

As a former resident of the state..........unfortunately, that's about right.
(I was born there, that's my excuse).
They keep putting Ted Kennedy back in office.
At least Kerry pulled Rassman out of the water.
Congressman Barney Frank, at least he likes gay men over the age of consent. Before him, the congressman from that region liked young boys below the age of consent. Well...........at that time, the age of consent was either very low (about 13) or undefined by law in the areas where he actually molested the boys. So strictly speaking, he did not violate the law. See if that would have worked if that were a high-school teacher molesting a student instead of a congressman molesting a page.
And they kept re-electing him too, even AFTER the news came out.
Should Kerry win (I shudder to think) ol' Barney might go for that Senate seat.

In fairness to the state, Bill Weld almost beat Kerry in 1996.
Not bad when you consider he was challenging an incumbent.
So there are at least a few reasonable people in the state. |

Well, as a resident of the People's Socialist Republick I have one thing to say to you - YOU"RE RIGHT!
The Bay State is a liberal haven. Our entire Congresisonal delegation is Democrat. Out of 145 or so reps in our state legislature, about 20 are Republicans. Most Democrats run unopposed (why waste the money). To Republican Governor Romney's credit, he is trying to reconstitute the Republican Party here.
But you know what should really scare you folks out there in the rest of the country? From what area of the country do you think Kerry is going to draw his administration? Well I don't think it's gonna be Sweet Home Alabama baby!
Elect John Kerry and we will export to you all of our great social initiatives. Do you want gay marriage? You got it. More gun control? We'll have the US Attorney General deciding what guns you can buy, just like the state attorney general does here in the Commonwealth! Our legislature will not even act on binding referendums that have passed by popular vote at the ballot box. These Democrats are not used to compromise or opposition. After you vote for Kerry, you have lost all input to the process.
Go ahead punk, pull that Democratic lever on Nov 2; but just ask yourself this one question - Do you feel lucky ... well do ya?
Oh yes, why am I here? I like the fishing and I love my wife. She was born hereand her family is here. Like me, she is a Republican too. |

True... Kennedy has hung on due to family name recognition...still don't know how, but the state loves the Kennedy fame.
They must be coming around these days however, they did elect a Republican for Governor (Romney). Maybe there is hope for the state in a few years?
Any further news on the attempt by Romney to basically fire Kerry for his lack of representation in the past year?

We do have a Republican Governor (calling for Kerry's Senate resignation)... If only this got out (and spread) sooner, I could support Wesley Clark still  |

Now how did he get here. Well the dem party leadership has been hijacked, and has taken a hard turn to the left. Still, think the rank and file are fine people. We just need to educate them about the serial exaggerator they nominated for President.

Since back in the 60s, leftists have been gradually taking over our country. In many of them, is the ideals and lack of values held many within the former Soviet Union. Of course Kerry would go far by preaching his Marxist message.
The far left is one scary group and we have to stop them from taking over the country.

My initial reaction was the same as yours and the others below you; however, after giving it more thought with regard to how did he make it this far as the Dim's choice for President, I say Ted Kennedy played a major role.
If memory serves me, Kerry was way down the list with Dean handily leading the pack when it was announced he (Kerry) mortgaged his home to stay in the race.
Now I ask myself why would he do that unless he was "real" sure of his chances to overtake Dean. Then, IMHO, Ted Kennedy called up the media machine, told them to do Dean in. The next thing I remember was the press showing Dean hoo-rahhing after one of his speeches and them implying he had lost his mind. Dean's mind hadn't gone anywhere, it was the same old Dean, but this time the spin machine went to work portraying him as a nut-case and BINGO, he sank like a rock. Afterwards, Kerry became the media darling, and the rest is history, IMHO, of course.
What do ya'll think? |

Let’s visualize this: Goto LINK: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=12051
Then scroll down thru the pictures until you get to 1971 (4/12/71 Washington protest) and look at the picture entitled: “Sen. Ted Kennedy and protest leader Kerry discuss the demonstration”
Think about that budding relationship in 1971. Think Kennedy power. Think pawn and/or “likeminded friends.” Look at today. Peas in a pod. Don’t underestimate the Kennedy machine….
John O’Neill and others came forward back then in defense of the truth and challenged that machine (I don't know what to call it -- a power of some kind, a consortium, a group of selfish, egocentric power-hungry friends?). One experience of that nature ought to have been enough for any man -- but here John O'Neill is again -- laying his life on the line, still looking for the justice denied us all.
I heard someone say to O'Neill recently (maybe Sean) that it's going to get tough, you know, "they" will be coming at you in a big way. And John said without hesitation, "Well it won't be the first time I've been shot at!"
I think perhaps the Kennedy/Kerry machine has a problem in that they have underestimated our soldiers and the families of our soldiers who paid the price of Kerry’s political climb. I think maybe we have not forgotten. I think, perhaps, in addition to protecting the country from Kerry’s scary politics, it is also PAYBACK TIME...!  |
