Sen. John Kerry Keeps 2008 Options Open

By ANDREW MIGA, Associated Press WriterMon Jan 2, 3:55 AM ET

It's almost as if Sen. John Kerry never stopped running for president. He still jets across the country, raising millions of dollars and rallying Democrats. He still stalks the TV news show circuit, scolding President Bush at every turn.

His campaign Web site boasts of an online army of 3 million supporters.

The Massachusetts Democrat, defeated by Bush in 2004, insists it is far too early to talk about the 2008 race, but some analysts assume he has already positioning himself for another shot at the White House.

"Obviously, Kerry has all but said he wants another crack at the thing," said Neal Thigpen, a political science professor at South Carolina's Francis Marion University. "He's going to make a second try."

While most losing presidential nominees quickly fade into the political landscape, Kerry has worked hard at maintaining a high public profile.

"He's continuing the fight he began in 2004," said Kerry spokesman David Wade. "He wants to make it very clear he's a fighter who is going to continue to fight for his agenda."

Borrowing a page from Republican Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record)'s 2000 postelection playbook, Kerry has kept much of his presidential political organization intact. He has also used his fundraising prowess to aid Democrats across the country, collecting chits that could be called if he seeks the party's White House nomination.

"He believes in his heart and soul that he came just a whisker away from being president," said Ronald Kaufman, a veteran GOP operative with Massachusetts roots.

I think us Freepers should do our part to raise money for him. John Kerry as the Democratic opponent in 08 would be the best thing possible for us.

[Dutch Boy]

The more dem candidates in the primary the better. It uses up their war chests and bleeds the donors dry. It can also drive the eventual candidate to the extreme left. This results in a strong victory in the primaries but a weaker candidate in the election. The average person want safety and to be left alone to do their thing in peace. That means the gun control nuts lose, the enviro-facists lose, the pro "repeal the tax cut" crowd loses and the GOP stays in charge.

In 2008, Democrats will probably be eager for a fresh face, said Thigpen, citing New York Sen.Hillary Clinton

Fresh face ? Not hardly. I wonder how many JK supporters actually support him as opposed to being just anti-Bush.

[JohnLongIsland]

Seems like the Kerrys and Clintons should switch spouses.

i'm sure the rapist has had some ketchup poured on his cigar.

"He believes in his heart and soul that he came just a whisker away from being president,"

John Kerry has a soul?

"Yes, indeed- John Kerry thinks it's 1971 all over again. Yesterday, on "Face the Nation"
John Kerry once again slams American troops- Check it out-

"And there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the-of-the historical customs, religious customs."

Here is the transcript for "Face the Nation"-

You will find this statement at the bottom of page 4 and the top of page 5.



"When former Attorney General Ramsey Clark isn’t defending Saddam Hussein, or giving speeches for the crypto-Stalinist International ANSWER, he’s acting as counsel for the Palestine Liberation Organization, trying to prevent families of murdered Jews from collecting on judgments against the PLO."

From Kerry's "The New Soldier":

Al Hubbard Sgt., 22 Troop Carrier Squadron Aug. ’65-June ’66
Emotions: Walking down the flight line at Saigon past stacks of aluminum cases containing American bodies and past stacks of aluminum luggage containing American currency. Seeing the tight, sad face of an Airman loading the bodies aboard a dirty Air Force Transport and the wide smiling face of a stewardess greeting the passengers aboard a clean Pan American Clipper Jet. Hearing a Vietnamese beg you to leave his country and an American colonel tells you to bomb his country. Hearing a Vietnamese invite you to live in his home, after the war and an American explain why you can’t live in his block, after the war. Flying over barren, brown, safe American held terrain and over lush, green unsafe enemy terrain. Feeling happy to be leaving a country in which you do not belong and sad to be returning to a country in which you are not allowed to belong. Sacrificing a portion of your consciousness so you won’t have to deal with being there and building mental blocks so you won’t have to deal with having been there.

- Al Hubbard, proven fraud who never set foot in Viet Nam. The only Vietnamese he ever met was when he was collaborating with the North Vietnamese in Paris on the American Communist Party's nickel.

John Kerry's explanation: "He (Hubbard) simply exaggarated his particular position.
But nobody knew it at the time.
And those things happen."

There is no need to impeach Hanoi Kerry from the US Senate

He is there illegally!

WAKEUP AMERICA!

For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.

Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

Why is Kerry still in the US Senate?
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3 (1868)

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress,
or elector of President and Vice President,
or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States,
or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath,
as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States,
or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer
of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States,
shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same,

or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

The FBI has proof of his giving aid and comfort to the enemies

includes FBI files

May 1970
Kerry and Julia traveled to Paris, France and met with Madame Nguyen Thi Binh, the Foreign Minister of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam (PRG), the political wing of the Vietcong, and other Viet Cong and Communist Vietnamese representatives to the Paris peace talks, a trip he now calls a "fact-finding" mission.

(U.S. code 18 U.S.C. 953, declares it illegal for a U.S. citizen to go abroad and negotiate with a foreign power.)

Why are the "Move On FReepers" so careful NOT to attack hanoi kerry
head on and refuse to join in the demand to oust the traitor from the US Senate?

---

"Move On FReepers" "swore" klintoon, hitlery, hanoi kerry, sanbdi ber(bur)glar, al bore, jane beno,
would be prosecuted for
pardongate, chinagate, the bribes in upstate NY in the 2000 NY Senate race, waco, etc, etc,
"when" the "time was right".

"Move On FReepers" : Go back to DU where you came from!

[napscoordinator]

I know...how much will it cost to set him up overseas somewhere. We can start a fund. I can't stand him at all. He has no manners or character. I can't even be sure that he was a good Vet...I guess NOT!!!

[Just A Nobody]

I can't even be sure that he was a good Vet...

When I hear "its" name, I don't think "vet" I think TRAITOR!

See Mr. Tonkin's posts 68 and 69.

[Dawgreg]

This guy REALLY thinks he ought to be President. Somebody get him a "head squeezer" right away. He has issues....the ones in his head, not his political ones.

[apackof2]

I hope this traitor tries again, let him give his liberal, leftist, American hating DU dummies something to fight each other about

A house divided, cannot stand

[napscoordinator]

Yep, once he turned against the Americans when he came back from Nam - he was a traitor. If he would have shut his mouth and gotten a job like everyone else who came back from NAM, we would have been happy with his service to the country, but because of his politics would not have won the election, but he would not have called a traitor imo.

[NonValueAdded]

Hey, hey, ho, ho; Kerry: sign the one-eight-oh! The unrestricted one, that is. Protest sign from the '04 sKerry FReep ready for a dust off (no pun intended).

John Kerry is a no good S.O.B. Bump.
