Just wanted to post a little information about Heinz. Seems the press isn't going back to her high school days as they did with the Laura Bush where they put her under a microscope.

Together, the Kerry's have five children; his two daughters and her three sons. Was he widowed too, divorced?? Annulment???

She always has that piece of cloth over her shoulder, maybe she wants to strangle him; or does it have something to do with her African Culture. Why nothing around her head?

It is my understanding that Kerry was refused an annulment.

He also boasts (correctly) that he is the only RAT candidate that has supported unconditional abortion for his entire career without once wavering.

If he ever becomes President, it will be interesting to see if he is formally excommunicated.

So technically Kerry is married to an African American. I wonder if this will be exploited.

Was Theresa Heinz-Kerry's 1st husband a RINO or a true conservative? I remember when he was in office, but at the time, I didn't pay much attention to politics (I believe his name was John Heinz, but I could be wrong).

Thanks for the post. Where do I start. Firstly, she is no more an African than Rudyard Kipling was Indian. Secondly, her weird accent is sure to turn people off. You just can't have a first lady who speaks with anything other than an American (Yankee or Southern) accent.

Maria Teresa Thierstein Simoes-Ferreira grew up in the capital of Mozambique, a city now called Maputo but then known as Lourenco Marques.

I am surprised that in South Carolina he isn't claiming she is "African/American" to get the black vote.

One of her Heinz Awards was given in 2001 to James Hansen, regarded as the father of the global warming theory. Heinz continues to promote the theory despite evidence showing little if any rise in mean temperature, and no hard evidence that it is linked to the rise of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

She seems to be a total flake. But then, so does he.

And "pro-choice Catholic"?

I'm sorry, you're either one or the other. If she doesn't want to make the decision, then somebody (the Kerry's bishop, for example) should make it for her.

None of the above - he traded up in wealth by leaving his first wife (Kerry is a real slimeball IMO for having done this).

Old wife's worth - around 200 mil

New wife's worth - around 500 mil *plus* the foundation she 'chairs'.

**Portuguese by birth, she was raised in Africa and educated in Switzerland. Spontaneous and independent of mind; candid and direct to the point of being impolitic, she is like her husband, a pro-choice Roman Catholic.**

I was not aware that Thesa was also a Catholic. Hmmmm.

Kerry divorced his first wife and at Theresa's direction pressed for an annulment to that marriage - I don't know if the annulment was granted.

PRO-ABORTION Catholic

That's an oxymoron. And, the morons who think it ain't are getting swift kicks from the bishops who have said enough is enough.

Gosh darn it, I want this woman challenged on her colonialist past, the way a Republican would be. I want her questioned on the current situations in Africa, on Zimbabwe, on Muslims and Sharia there, I want to know what she thinks, or if she thinks, about modern day slavery on the continent of her birth. I want to know: what does she think the world should have done to respond to Rawanda.

I want to know these things so much, that if the opportunity presents I may go ask her myself, because sure as heck the media ain't gonna ask her.

Oh, and btw, in a race between Ter-eez-uh and Laura, Laura's a lock.

From Ann Coulter

Kerry was indisputably brave in Vietnam, and it's kind of cute to see Democrats pretend to admire military service. Physical courage, like chastity, is something liberals usually deride, but are tickled when it accidentally manifests itself in one of their own. One has to stand in awe of Kerry's military service 33 years ago. Of course, that's where it ends, including with Kerry -- inasmuch as, upon his return from war in 1970, he promptly began trashing his fellow Vietnam vets by calling them genocidal murderers.

But if Bush can't talk to Kerry about the horrors of war, then Kerry sure as hell can't talk to anyone about the plight of the middle class. Kerry's life experience consists of living off other men's money by marrying their wives and daughters.

For over 30 years, Kerry's primary occupation has been stalking lonely heiresses. Not to get back to his combat experience, but Kerry sees a room full of wealthy widows as "a target-rich environment." This is a guy whose experience dealing with tax problems is based on spending his entire adult life being supported by rich women. What does a kept man know about taxes?

In 1970, Kerry married into the family of Julia Thorne -- a family estimated to be worth about $300 million. She got depressed, so he promptly left her and was soon seen catting around with Hollywood starlets, mostly while the cad was still married. (Apparently, JFK really was his mentor.) Thorne is well-bred enough to say nothing ill of her Lothario ex-husband. He is, after all, the father of her children -- a fact that never seemed to constrain him.

When Kerry was about to become the latest Heinz family charity, he sought to have his marriage to Thorne annulled, despite the fact that it had produced two children. It seems his second meal ticket, Teresa Heinz, wanted the first marriage annulled -- and Heinz is worth more than $700 million. Kerry claims he will stand up to powerful interests, but he can't even stand up to his wife.

Heinz made Kerry sign a prenuptial agreement, presumably aware of how careless he is with other people's property, such as other people's Vietnam War medals, which Kerry threw on the ground during a 1971 anti-war demonstration.

At pains to make Kerry sound like a normal American, his campaign has described how Kerry risked everything, mortgaging his home in Boston to help pay for his presidential campaign. Technically, Kerry took out a $6 million mortgage for "his share" of "the family's home" -- which was bought with the Heinz family fortune. (Why should he spend his own money? He didn't throw away his own medals.) I'm sure the average working stiff in Massachusetts can relate to a guy who borrows $6 million against his house to pay for TV ads.

Kerry's campaign has stoutly insisted that he will pay off the mortgage himself, with no help from his rich wife. Let's see: According to tax returns released by his campaign, in 2002, Kerry's income was $144,091. But as The Washington Post recently reported, even a $5 million mortgage paid back over 30 years at favorable interest rates would cost $30,389 a month -- or $364,668 a year.

The Democrats' joy at nominating Kerry is perplexing. To be sure, liberals take a peculiar, wrathful pleasure in supporting pacifist military types. And Kerry's life story is not without a certain feral aggression. But if we're going to determine fitness for office based on life experience, Kerry clearly has no experience dealing with problems of typical Americans since he is a cad and a gigolo living in the lap of other men's money.

Kerry is like some character in a Balzac novel, an adventurer twirling the end of his mustache and preying on rich women. This low-born poseur with his threadbare pseudo-Brahmin family bought a political career with one rich woman's money, dumped her, and made off with another heiress to enable him to run for president. If Democrats want to talk about middle-class tax cuts, couldn't they nominate someone who hasn't been a poodle to rich women for past 33 years?

Kerry's elderly wife, burdened by her great wealth and being an immigrant (which gives her insight we don't have), feels she must tutor the ignorant masses on life and how to live it.

So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money? Just one example:

According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides Foundation do with John Heinz's money?

They support numerous anti-war groups, including Ramsey Clark's International Action Center. Clark has offered to defend Saddam Hussein when he's tried.

They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the Tides Foundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The Democratic Justice Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist" states.

They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas.

They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist front during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart, has been arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to Mexico.

These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our would-be first lady, the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz, and now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th President of the United States.

The Tides Foundation has funded a number of the pillars of the radical legal establishment. Chief among these is the National Lawyers Guild, which began as a Communist front organization and is proud of its lineage. At its recent convention last October, the concluding speaker was Lynne Stewart, an indicted terrorist NLG lawyer arrested for helping her client -- convicted 1993 World Trade Center bombing mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman...
