Kerry Says He Won't Make Dukakis' Mistake

This is what John Kerry knows about aircraft carriers: "How to announce you're running for president by doing it in front of an aircraft carrier."

[shhrubbery!]

"They're extreme. We're mainstream, and we're going to stand up and fight back," he said.

Yeah right.

- Supporting partial-birth abortion isn't "extreme." (Kerry voted against banning this extreme "procedure.")

- Supporting changing the meaning of marriage isn't "extreme." (Kerry voted against the Defense of Marriage Act)

- Supporting enormous tax increases isn't "extreme." (Kerry voted for Clinton's tax increases, the biggest in US history.)

No, Kerry's not extreme at all. /sarcasm

A kiss of two feakish homosexual men.

"This was voted and approved by John F. Kerry for President."

Planted hecklers, hmm maybe some 'planted' vets too?

Kerry Plants Phony Hecklers to Look Tough!

Rush Limbaugh ^ | Feb. 6, 2004 | Ruch Limbaugh

AP's Ron Fournier reported that a Portland heckler yelled out to John Kerry, "Why don't you tell them about your vote on the war and the Patriot Act?" The senator is said to have "swiftly responded." He's quoted as saying, "I'll explain them all as we go along. I never run away from anything, especially George Bush."

A great comeback – or is it? The American Prowler: "John Kerry's campaign is planting volunteers at his appearances in order to make him appear tougher. At a rally yesterday at which he accepted the endorsement of Maine Gov. John Baldacci, Kerry faced down a heckler in the Portland audience... The candidate seemed to be quick on his feet in the response, and his retort garnered applause. Perhaps his quick thinking was the result of knowing the jibe was coming."

This information comes from "a Kerry campaign source," folks. Reports the Prowler, "[T]he campaign has been looking to plant local volunteers in crowds to mix it up, and to make it appear their man is facing down tough questioning. 'This kind of confrontation pushes him up the line in news coverage,' says the staffer. 'Instead of facing a tough question from a reporter, the news guys have this seeming give and take to report on.'" Can you believe this?

That's where I heard it :) Earth to Fournier...

Willie Horton was a political tool of AL BORE in the NY Primary! The media has indoctrinated the masses to believe that Willie was a creation of the Republicans!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Kerry seems like such an insecure fop.

Like every Democrat, he has no imagination, no new ideas.

He either parrots Howard Dean or copies President Bush.

Whether it's bashing Bush on the war, having a photo op with an aircraft carrier or twisting the phrase, "bring it on", Kerry is second fiddle.

When November 2, 2004 is history, he will revert to his former status as a has been.

All I have been having a hard time finding any pictures of Dukakis and Kerry together. It is as if none exist on google or they have been cleared off.

If anyone can store this somewhere where it can be retrieved by anyone, please help.

During the 2000 campaign there was a free CD put out with nifty pictures of the candidates.

Can anyone help do the research with me and find out if he Cosponsored Michael Dukakis's Gun Confiscation Bill when he was Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts?

I'm still trying to find out who were the cosponsors.

[fella]

Has anyone bothered to ceck the old KGB files to see if the "Veit Nam Vaterans Against the War" and especially the "Winter Sholdier Project" got any support from the Soviets?

With the Mass approving homosexual marriage this image

What he telling this homosexual group dedicated to making
homosexual marriage a reality, he is "personally" opposed to homosexual marriage.

I can't get the larger quality image.

Was Kerry ever stationed aboard a carrier?

Taxachusetts has now been offically renamed Assachusetts.

Jean F. Cheri is going to run a substance-free campaign and run away from his liberal record. Good luck cause he'll need it becoming America's first French-looking (and thinking) President.

[TASMANIANRED]

Kerry doesn't have to make the Dukakis mistake, He is the mistake.

[NYCVirago]

Kerry, a Navy veteran, said: "We all saw George Bush play dress-up on an aircraft carrier. Well, I know something about aircraft carriers for real. And if George W. Bush wants to make national security the central issue in this campaign, I have three words for him I know he understands: Bring it on."

This guy makes me want to vomit. How long was he in the military -- one year? And he was in the Navy on a swift boat. Yet he knows all about aircraft carriers? I don't know how I'm going to stand listening to this nonsense for the next nine months.

[NYCVirago]

"When you add up the real deficits in our nation ... it's not just measured in money, it's measured in the hopes that are dashed," Kerry said in a speech to several hundred supporters Belmont University in Nashville.

I had a hope dashed, too. I hoped that Howard Dean would be the nominee -- at least he's more entertaining than this pompous twit. Where's my reparations?

[Robert A Cook PE]

No.

Cruiser. He sailed offshore of Vietnam in air-conditioned "comfort", but only for a couple of months.

Swift boat. He saw less than 2-1/2 months duty (late Dec - early March), and got 3 minor flesh wounds. Then requested he be shipped home based on those wounds to become an "admiral's aide" in Washington or Boston" so he could run for Congress.

Kerry Says He Won't Make Dukakis' Mistake

He already has. There is a Bush campaign commercial on ice, waiting for the right time to debut, that will destroy him in his own words.
