Bring it on! Do you like my sound-bite? Pretty cool, huh? I stole it from President Bush.

When he says it, he sounds like a dumb Texan. When I say it, I sound manly.
When he says it, he sounds like a cowboy. When I say it, I sound decisive.
When he says it, he sounds like he means it. When I say, I sound like an effete liar.

"Senator Kerry US Forces have captured Osama Bin Laden......will you support his getting the death penalty?"

Yes, but only if he gets a fair trial first.............in France.

[Sam Cree]

"In his Virginia remarks, Kerry said Democrats represent the mainstream"

That's assuming that the mainstream is now socialist. Trouble is, one can make a good case for exactly that.

Kerry is quite vicious in his remarks about GW. I notice that most Democrats, from entertainers to businessmen to politicians are the same way. I suspect that may not play that well with the public, but am not sure.

[SierraWasp]

He cain't hep himsef! He's already a cross between MaCarthy/Moandale and Dukakis!!!

[longtermmemmory]

Somehow kerry strikes me as the algore type. The kind of person who sits in the congressional hall "reading" a physics book in order to look impressive.

From what I have seen in reports, kerry is legendary for introducing a bill and then being unable to find a co-sponsor. (keep in mind the democrats were in charge for most of his tenure)

Kerry's mistakes right now will be image oriented, like his planted hecklers exposed by Rush.

[shrinkermd]

I watched the Chris Wallace interview on Fox News Sunday with Kerry. Kerry is an unsubtle dominating personality who has groomed himself (and continues to groom himself) by speaking on both sides of many issues while adhering to a surrepitous liberal agenda.

Just calling him a liberal will not help much. What will help is pointing out that what he says and what he does are two different things. The slogan could be, "don't watch where his mouth goes but do watch where his feet goes." People hate inconsistent, unpredictable politicians. Picturing Kerry in this fashion over time will result in his acting and saying outrageous things in order to terminate the discussion of his actions.

[leprechaun9]

Let's see where is he starting from?
1. His liberal rating makes Ted Kennedy more conservative.
2. His is from Taxachusetts.
3. His is following the recipe of the Kennedy clan - throw snow balls, football, ice hockey, etc.
4. Spend his Senate career as a "Manchurian Candidate" by voting against every major military weapons system (without a trigger from Hanoi Jane Fonda!)

That is just for starters!

[longtermmemmory]

What would most voters want to be a cowboy kick *ss or a whiny impotent French style politician?

Yet another reason the democrat party is dying.

**Kerry Says He Won't Make Dukakis' Mistake**

I hate to tell you this, Kerry, but your mistake is being from and serving as Lieutenant Governor of the state of Masssachusetts! LOL!

[tkathy]

GWB is not going to make his father's mistakes, either. This is going to be the dirtiest bloodiest election ever.

[Salvation]

**"Senator Kerry US Forces have captured Osama Bin Laden......will you support his getting the death penalty?"**

EXCELLENT question, Dog!

[longtermmemmory]

Why is kerry citing he will not make a Dukakis mistake?

why not Mondale?
why not Carter?

Could it be that he was Michael DUKAKIS' LEUTENANT GOVERNOR!

This statement is trying to distance himself from that fact.

Where are the pictures of Kerry and Dukakis together?
(can you say willie horton?)

[Robert A Cook PE]

Kerry's never served on an aircraft carrier.

Never been close to one.

Might never have ever even been on board one!

[Carolinamom]

Kerry was BESIDE a decommissioned one in Charleston,SC, when he announced for the 2nd time that he was a candidate. On another occasion, he said that he "had experienced" an aircraft carrier. LOL

[mombonn]

I'm beginning to detest this creep.

[mewzilla]

Hecklers. Heh heh heh. There's a Ron Fournier born every minute :)

[KC_Conspirator]

The Massachusetts senator, under fire from White House allies, sought to assure Democrats that he won't repeat mistakes of 1988 Democratic nominee Michael Dukakis, who responded cautiously to George H.W. Bush's assertions that he was a Massachusetts liberal.

Uh no, thats not what happened. What happened was that the truth came out about Dukakis and the people rejected him. It came out that he was against the Pledge of Allegiance, The truth came out that he would coddle the hypothetical rapist of his wife. The only person who honestly looked at his record and says, "Kerry's going to have a big problem" is Mort Kondracke.

"This week, George Bush and the Republican smear machine have trotted out the same old tired lines of attack that they've used before to divide this nation and to evade the real issues before us.

Did I miss something?

Since when did Dubya become a Democrat?

That statement uttered by F'in Kerry is the funniest line I have heard in ages.

[shamusotoole]

He also wears a leather Navy flight jacket. He would never have been issued one. He is as phony as he looks, a la Dukakis the tank driver.

[EGPWS]

Kerry said that when he engages with Bush, "it will be clear across this land that the one person who deserves to be laid off is George W. Bush."

...and then he awoke from his blissful dream filled sleep.
