The world wants W out: Kerry

WASHINGTON - Expanding his lead in a national poll, Democrat John Kerry made waves yesterday by saying foreign pols have confided they are rooting for him.

"I've met foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly but, boy, they look at you and say, 'You've got to win this, you've got to beat this guy, we need a new policy' - things like that," Kerry said.

President Bush is widely unpopular in many parts of the world, but Kerry's comment came close to flouting the longstanding American tradition of leaving partisan politics at the water's edge.

Kerry "may have friends in countries like France who would rather see him as President, but American voters will make that decision," said Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel.

Bush boosters routinely lampoon Kerry's fluency in French and his year at a Swiss boarding school, hoping to tar him with voter anger against French opposition to war in Iraq.

Bush, who touts his unilateral policies, portrayed Kerry as being in the pocket of foreign leaders.

"My opponent says he approves of bold action in the world, but only if other countries don't object," Bush said.

But the tough talk of Bush's debut on the campaign trail does not appear to have given him a boost.

A new Gallup Poll showed Kerry leading Bush by 52% to 44%.

In Florida, where the 2000 election was decided after a chaotic 36-day recount, a new Miami Herald poll had Kerry at 49% and Bush at 43%.

Kerry said he was already preparing legal challenges.

When a Florida voter asked Kerry what he would do "to prevent them from stealing the election," he said, "We're going to have the legal team in place. We're going to take injunctions where necessary ahead of time. We'll pre-challenge if necessary."

Dean's demise came when he announced on national t.v. that his first officil act would be to fire terry mc auffle. hillary could not allow that to happen. If dean does not know by now that the clintons were the ones that sabatoged him, he is the stupidest individual in the universe. The only way he can lose that title is for kerry to name hillary as his running mate.

But back to dean.
dean could tell you his stand on an issue two days in a row. kerry cannot state his position on an issue two minutes in a row.

Someone was making a cpmparison between dean and clark,

This was their conclusion:
dean is a sane person trying to sound crazy.
clark is a crazy person trying to sound sane.

Substitute kerry for clark and you get the picture.

Unbelievable.

...we need a new policy...

...we...

I cannot believe that this piece of traitorous shit said this.

I cannot believe this has not been repeated on every major media, by every talking head.

Am I the only one that sees the betrayal, the outright treasonous nature of such a statement?

JohnFinKerry does not speak for me or to me.

JohnFinKerry is dangerous. He is a traitor to this country, he is a lying POS, he is manipulative, yet extremely facile.

I do not, I say again: I do not honor his service in VN, and do not care if he received PH's, SS's or the MOH, as it is my opinion, after careful research, that the POS manipulated his activities, arranged for the award of these medals under spurious circumstances for no other reason than to lay the groundwork for future political activity.

And any REMF pogey-bait POS that assisted him in gaining these medals is cut from the same cloth and has my undying contempt and disdain, also.

I challenge anyone, anyone, anywhere, regardless, to come forward and defend this POS. His actions and remarks are indefensible. My God, he is even an embarrassment to some of the nitwits at DU and that Batcrap/Marc Perkle bozo. Why else would they sing his praises with a "but" every other paragraph?

They see him for what he is, but he's the only thing they have. Poor bastards.

He is a traitor, he dishonors the good and honorable men that served for a true purpose and he spits on the graves of those that gave their lives under combat.

I am not Fonda JohnFinKerry.

There are those that have stated in this forum, to the effect: No matter what else he is, he did serve. Lah Dee Da Da!

Well, I'm telling you now, this "Manchurian Candidate" served, alright. He served for himself and his traitorous comrades and everything he did, he did with selfish intents.

I give him no credit. None. I spit on him and I spit on any damn fool that attempts to give any credence whatsoever to his nefarious activities.

You people think we had problems with that hillbilly idiot Clintoon?

You ain't seen problems if this ignorant, goofy, dumb ass moron gets into the WH.

Wake up - this man is dangerous!

Alright!!! Love your home page too!

And he's too stupid to understand he should be keeping this quiet. There goes that judgement thing again.

[Gritty]

Well, OldSmaj, I was going to say something, but you managed to say it all!

[thoughtomator]

I'm starting to wonder if Ketchup BOY is TRYING to lose...

I think that's a much more important question than you may have realized when you typed it. Personally I do not think the Democrats will actually emerge from the convention with Kerry as the nominee. It will be too obvious that that is a sure-fire losing idea. Which opens doors for you-know-who.

After reading a whole bunch of posts this morning, your post triggered a thought. George W. Bush has the weight of the world on his shoulders. I don't understand why anyone would want that job. It has to be agonizing at times for the President because he must wonder, too, why he is where he is. I hope George W. Bush has the heart of a servant of God. He seems to have such. And he has my prayers. I'll pray for John Kerry, too. (pray for your enemy . . .)

[BadAndy]

Treason is nothing new for Kerry.

The World wants Bush out? That's all the more reason to keep him in.

[mewzilla]

Or leaves the way clear for '08. I keep telling Dems I know that, leaving aside the fact that he's the best man for the job, they can only get the party back by voting Republican this election. Hopefully, if the Dems get creamed again, someone will get the guts to show the Toons the door.

Al Queda terrorists want Kerry to win.

'You've got to win this, you've got to beat this guy, we need a new policy' - things like that," Kerry said.


Just wondering, what does WE mean? Who in the hell is WE?

"We can't defeat communism in the world, and I think we should have learned that lesson by now."

Great post - do you have a link to this last quote? Thanks! ;-)

Exactly. I can't even figure out what kind of point Kerry thinks he's making with this statement.
