Is it just me, or is Kerry getting meaner [more desperate?] In any case, here's his latest emailed nasty-gram:
Dear ,
I've been hearing a lot of talk about what we're up against in the critical 2006 elections as we take on the corrupt, power-abusing, Swift Boat style-attacking Republican Party.
But, truth is, they need to worry about what they're up against.
Just look at what we've done in the last twelve months. Time and again, we've demonstrated that we have the power and political will to fight for the things we value most and for the candidates who embody those values.
This past November, our 3 million citizen volunteers helped spearhead Get Out The Vote efforts in critical Democratic victories across the nation ... And since the end of 2004, together we gave $4.5 million to Democratic candidates, committees, state parties, and progressive causes.
We mobilized to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from the Bush-Cheney drill-at-any-cost onslaught... And we garnered endorsements from over 700,000 citizens, from every state in the nation, for our Kids First Act to provide health care for the 11 million uninsured children.
Our national lawyers' network helped ensure that the voting problems of 2000 and 2004 were not repeated in 2005, and it is poised to do it again in 2006.
You also helped me travel around the country to rally citizens, engage grassroots volunteers, and help raise funds on behalf of Democrats.
In Pennsylvania, we've helped Bob Casey wage a strong Senate campaign that has incumbent Rick Santorum on his heels. Long a poster boy for mindless support of Bush policies and the right-wing agenda, Santorum is now scrambling to convince Pennsylvania voters otherwise.
In Washington state, we've stood by Senator Maria Cantwell. She joined me in leading the fight to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - and now powerful oil company special interests are coming after her with everything they've got.
In Florida, we're helping Senator Bill Nelson, who is running for re-election against Katherine Harris. As you know, Harris made a name for herself by playing a leading role in the 2000 Florida voting fiasco, and we will not allow her to parlay her partisanship into a seat in the Senate.
And that's just a small sampling of the dozens of candidates who have come to count on us to be there for them. Together in 2006, we're going to do even more to help pull through to victory Democrats running at the local, state, and federal levels.
We'll defeat candidates who refuse to challenge the Bush/Cheney administration's illegal, warrantless spying ... We'll replace Republicans who have refused to lift a finger to end the Bush administration's mind-numbing incompetence... We'll end the careers of Republican politicians who have cozied up to unethical lobbyists and sold out the American people.
And, we'll be there, each and every day, to make sure no Democrat stands alone in the face of the Republicans' desperate, underhanded election tactics and facts-be-damned campaign ads.
Thanks for all you've done to help Democratic candidates set the stage for victory. And stay tuned for the next steps in our work together.
Sincerely,
John Kerry

Suck it up. Put some ice on it. MoveOn.
Huh?
Ick....I need to take a shower now.
*This is a recording.*
Please be sure to use recycled water - it's for the children.
Serious question: isn't there a tradition of senatorial comity pursuant to which senators generally refrain from making personal attacks on their colleagues?
Don't tell me they are two different things. All of the swift boat vets are decorated American war heroes, the exact people Kerry claims love and support him. Yet he can get away with using them as a pejorative. True, that's because democrats have no morals, but they also have tenacity. Kerry and many another dem should have been forced to resign decades ago. Instead, they'll be around to hurl dirty snowballs at decent republicans.
Who writes this dreck? Where'd they learn punctuation and grammar? And what happened at the end of that sentence? Is that a phrase or a word jumble?
Schmucky shlockmeisters at the DNC? ;-ch
Ever since they discovered Al Gore's Disease in 2000, virtually all the Democrats have been infected by it. That's what they get for all sleeping in the same bed together.
Evidently, 3,000,000 voters didn't agree with you, John.
I see you working on your third sweat of the day choppin' away at a tree.... But they ain't any chips flyin'.
Jack.
Speaking of Swift Boat Vets, did sKerry ever sign the Standard Form that would make his service record public so that we can judge whether the SBVs allegations were accurate?
By the way, that ;-ch was a typo, not a veiled reference to Swiss comedians. ;-)
As the nutjobs say, "move on!" John.
He doesn't want Katherine Harris to parlay her partisanship into a Senate seat. Gee, I guess Dems are never partisan. Politics is supposed to be a genteel sport for well mannered people.
LOL.
I thought it was some kind of new "harmonica-playing smily."
Kerry never signed a SF-180, but he said he was going to and as everybody knows, that's all that's required for a Democrat.
