Unfortunately, at 60, John F. Kerry is merely an adolescent

Unfortunately, at 60, John F. Kerry is merely an adolescent

With ever-increasing opportunity, many are currently able to see similarities between Democrat, presidential nominee John F. Kerry’s behavior patterns and those with adolescent demeanor.

Almost daily pause is given; wondering just how far from decency and common sense, his ridiculously, immature behavior will venture. Curious, have not his media friends and political handlers warned him to reign in his juvenile actions and rhetoric? If not yet, one would think, soon. Although, considering most supporters are of liberal mindset, they may decide for his “Kerryisms” all that is required, excuses and propaganda.

Please understand when addressing Kerry’s behavior, normal political spin is of no concern. However, his more serious, foolish repetitive manner is. For example, regardless if done for political expediency or not, Kerry’s last weeks verbal attack on Republicans, calling them liars and crooks; gave many just one more example of his political immaturity. You would think after how many years in politics he would be more politically suave. Obviously, offending a large potion of American society appears to be of little importance to this man.

Less some protest too much, assuredly, there are numerous examples found to strengthen one’s case. Perhaps, if Kerry would just give us the names of the so-called leaders that are rooting for him and explain encounters and speech that undermines US administration and military during a time of war, one might acknowledge his poor judgment. Possibly, the numerous, deceitful exaggerations and flip-flops, if addressed would lead even staunchest of followers to a clearer understanding that this man is ethically challenged. Not to mention, his youthful past and Senate record that he demands the media and public avoid. Is that not just like a teenager, hiding and hoping not to be found out.

During this most serious of times, the last thing America needs is another childlike leader from the left that is not able to determine right from wrong. Should we not only expect, but also demand more from someone that is running for the highest office in our land than immature actions and speech? My guess, most do expect at the very least, an honest attempt at avoiding bullish bash, exaggerating facts and spouting fiction.

Seriously, someone needs to tell Democrat, presidential nominee John F. Kerry, youthful indiscretions and made-up tales are no longer acceptable at age 60.

Time and again, Kerry is showing both sides of his mouth. With the socialist party gaining victory in Spain...we shudder at the thought of this fool becoming president of the United States.

I would rather describe him as a PUNK than an adolescent. I believe that one word describes his behavior, manners and intellect better than any other.

Whether intentional or not, Kerry seems to understand that his base of the voting spectrum cares not what he has to say, or how many times he contradicts himself.

I liken Kerry as to being a professional politician that has no personal grounding in ideology when his country is concerned.

Kerry has a "Kerry ideology", me me me, I am an internationalist and I will bring socialism to you people whether you like it or not. I, John F. Kerry, know what is best for you.

Let's hope the people that vote understand this....

Wish I had thought of that word before I posted. You are right, punk describes his bullying, dishonest behavior perfectly.

Had to look than one up. Definition: Referring to an organism which has attained sexual maturity while retaining juvenile characteristics.

Good description as well.

Sounds a little too familiar to me. I think that Kerry would actually be "Clinton Heavy".

Kerry in fortunate in that his base electorate is mostly America haters also. Hate being the strongest emotion, that is why he can get by with calling republicans liars and crooks. The media being his personal PR group see nothing wrong with what the man said.

His "base" - and leftist Democrat voters in general -

can be best described as

"perpetual adolescents continually striving for a consequence-free world."

Yes, John Kerry is a 60-year-old adolescent, but there are many of them in Washington these days. If you are old enough, just think back to what college campuses were like in the mid- to late 1960s. You will see Kerry using the same tactics of lying, innuendo, claims without proof, etc. Follow his career to the leadership of Vietnam Veterans Against the War and you will see more of the same.
