As if proof is needed to show that John Kerry has not changed his attitude or is the least bit sorry about testifying falsely concerning fellow vets 30 years ago, he is now telling audiences that the Republicans are planning to actively prevent thousands of minorities from voting in the upcoming election, just as thousands were prevented in the last election according to him. Never mind the fact that no evidence ever backed up those charges in the last election, in fact, investigations indicated just the opposite. This is further proof that Kerry apparently has no allegiance to facts, but will continue to make sweeping false claims to further his own political career, just as he started out his political career by testifying falsely before Congress concerning false and exxaggerated claims of atrocities by him and fellow vets in Vietnam.

How Times Have Changed: From NutsandBolts
| Quote: | "Plagiarism can have catastrophic consequences for one's career as a student and even later on in life—and the higher one's ambition takes one, the higher the stakes. In 1987, for instance, Senator Joe Biden, who was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, was accused of plagiarizing passages in speeches and interviews from the oratory of a British politician, Neil Kinnock. Here are some of the passages in question:
Kinnock (original)
Why am I the first Kinnock in a thousand generations to be able to get to university? Why is Glenys the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?
Was it because our predecessors were thick? Does anybody really think that they didn't get what we had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment? Of course not. It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand.
Biden
I started thinking as I was coming over here, why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university? Why is it that my wife who is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college?
Is it because our fathers and mothers were not bright? . . . No, it's not because they weren't as smart. It's not because they didn't work as hard. It's because they didn't have a platform upon which to stand . . .
It turned out Biden had also borrowed passages from old campaign speeches by Robert Kennedy and had inflated his academic record. But oratory has a long tradition of borrowing and even "heavy lifting," as speechwriters call it, so Biden stayed alive in the presidential race. The last straw, however, came when it turned out that twenty years earlier Biden had received a failing grade in a law school course for plagiarizing a legal article (he'd given a single footnote while lifting five full pages from the article). Biden said he'd been unaware of the appropriate standards for legal briefs, but the public was unimpressed. His campaign collapsed and he withdrew from the race." |
It was Dukasis's campaign that leaked out evidence of Biden's copycatting,
Dukasis' campaign managers, John Sasso, now with Kerry, and Paul
Tully, died in 1992 while working for Clinton, were both fired. |
