WASHINGTON (Mehr News Agency) -- The office of Senator John Kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an e-email saying that Kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows.

As Americans who have lived and worked extensively overseas, we have personally witnessed the high regard with which people around the world have historically viewed the United States. Sadly, we are also painfully aware of how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of both parties over many decades and put many of our international relationships at risk.

It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

We are convinced that John Kerry is the candidate best qualified to meet this challenge. Senator Kerry has the diplomatic skill and temperament as well as a lifetime of accomplishments in field of international affairs. He believes that collaboration with other countries is crucial to efforts to win the war on terror and make America safer.

An understanding of global affairs is essential in these times, and central to this campaign Kerry has the experience and the understanding necessary to successfully restore the United States to its position of respect within the community of nations. He has the judgment and vision necessary to assure that the United States fulfills a leadership role in meeting the challenges we face throughout the world.

The current Administration's policies of unilateralism and rejection of important international initiatives, from the Kyoto Accords to the Biological Weapons Convention, have alienated much of the world and squandered remarkable reserves of support after 9/11. This climate of hostility affects us all, but most especially impacts those who reside overseas. Disappointment with current U.S. leadership is widespread, extending not just to the corridors of power and politics, but to the man and woman on the street as well.

We believe John Kerry is the Democrat who can go toe-to-toe against the current Administration on national security and defense issues. We also remain convinced that John Kerry has the best chance of beating the incumbent in November, and putting America on a new course that will lead to a safer, more secure, and more stable world.

"Then, if the left wingers go back and do a USSR purge of their files and data, we have the full story on FR."

Great plan. Thank goodness for FreeRepublic!

[windchime]

You're welcome!

What he means by "repair the damage" is that United States will return to the policy of the previous decade when we accepted periodic attacks on our interests overseas. This is called tolerance. He will also open the doors of our State Department so that listening devices may be easily planted in conference rooms and laptops and other confidential information can be readily taken. Finally he will appoint a complete head case as Secretary of State who is simply looking to rebuild her self esteem after being left for a younger woman and a chance to wear her jewelry at important events.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore received much from the Chinese at Americas expense, could John EFFIN Kerry have received the message from shrill to pass the collection plate or self destruct, (like Clark and Dean and recently ALGORE.. have you heard his latest rant?.. Priceless)
I digress - if this is for real, it is no suprise, it is the lib base and it is just a rare glimpse of who they really are.
Kerry (the French looking one)is NOT the Enemy. The Enemy is CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, CNN etc, for it does not matter who is President with those people in power. Even if John EFFIN Kerry (the French looking Vietnam War Veteran) didn't solicit the Iranians as the article suggests, the press will defend him, take his position feed the masses with endless soundbites every 15 minutes with why President Bush should have done what Kerry is accused of, it is pointless to complain.

There is your choice folks, George Bush trying to get along with the Dems and John EFFIN Kerry trying to get along with the Jihad.

I Thank God Ronald Reagan does not have to witness this.

Outa Beer catcha later

Kerry Supporters Rally in HoChi Minh City

Americans residing in Vietnam held the first event for the 2004 U.S.
Presidential Election in Ho Chi Minh City by meeting for breakfast at the New World Saigon on November 21, 2003.

A group of American citizens---business people, charity workers and others-- gathered to show their support for John Kerry overseas. They were all thrilled to receive a call from Senator Kerry who spoke for 20 minutes explaining his policies and positions. He then answered questions including those from the Press who attended the function.

You are Surprised? You must listen to "THE NEWS"

I have broken Radios and Dashboards, I no longer listen to "THE NEWS"

My (usta be a Liberal Wife) is more destructive than I. We no longer buy radios for asthetics or reception or percieved brand name quality. They simply have to pass the smash test, if they survive it... we buy it. However this is not a Walmart approved test (if I can scrape together a little more cash than beer money I'm gonna bail out the Wife, really I will)

[Quix]

Gag me to a wretching agonizing degree with a thought!

Sheesh.

Knowing so many liberal idiot expats, this could be too widely held a view among them.

And, too many Taiwanese have swallowed some liberal idiot propaganda.

Am reminded of Kipling's IF . . . all the world losing their mind and blaming it on you.

Sheesh.

[Quix]

Many people won't wake up until Shrillery's goons start slamming them or their loved ones in the globalist concentration camps. It will be a little late by then.

[Quix]

I think he's worse than a weasel.

I think he's worse than the microbe on the turd on the weasel's butt.

[Quix]

Sounds like a lot of the expats I knew overseas.

Many of them professing Christians.

Sigh.

And plenty of them idiots.

[Quix]

Aren't

TRAITOROUS DUPLICITY

the HYPORATS two middle names?

[Quix]

What message is

TRAITOROUS DUPLICITY HYPORAT KERRY

sending to the masses in IRAN?

You can bet your life it is

NOT

'we feel your pain.'

[windchime]

"Most of the folks on the list have an interesting history. Wilson is by no means the exception."

Hmmm. Can you briefly identify them?

[Quix]

Can we insure that this gets to at least troops that FREEPERS know?

and to FOX NEWS?

[Quix]

STRONGLY AGREE WITH YOU.

I HOPE YOU ARE EMAILING YOUR IDEA TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND EVERY LOCAL REPUBLICAN OFFICIAL YOU CAN.

[Quix]

AMEN!
