We are not sure exactly what one has to do, in these days of moral ablation, to disqualify oneself from running for elective office.
The Clinton years notwithstanding, there have always been parameters within which national candidates must comport themselves - certain minimum standards that even prospective politicians might reasonably meet.
This year, however is very different.
It’s quite clear that the Democrat Party is busted - a sprung watch - beyond repair. The nominative process that we find ourselves within, clearly demonstrates this.
That a bizarre, snarling, hate filled candidate of the diminutive stature of Howard Dean was almost anointed - as if deemed by heavenly hosts perched upon excelsior clouds - is reason enough to be suspect of the health of the party.
Yet on Dean’s heels comes an even more troubling individual who surfaced in the carnage of the media’s frenzy to de-elect Howie.
That individual is of course, John Forbes Kerry.
John Forbes Kerry.
Roll those words around in your mouth and what do you get?
You get a craggy - almost gaunt looking, but virile - New Englander.
You get a Skull & Crossbones Yalie, a war hero and the most liberal member of the United States Senate.
You get a guy who says he can speak for the little guy, but whose personal fortune is about $750 million and whose cash-cow wifey’s company outsources 6 out of 7 of its jobs to Third World dung heaps.
One minor complication, however…John Forbes Kerry is a domestic terrorist.
That's not a typo.
John Forbes Kerry is a domestic terrorist.
In large part due to New York’s real newspaper of record - the Sun - and their award winning journalist - Thomas Lipscomb - the true story of Kerry’s membership in the radical revolutionary group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, has finally seen the light of day.
While Kerry was the national spokesman for VVAW [1970-1971] the group coldly discussed a plot to invade the capital building and then assassinate pro-war United States Senators. This was nothing less than a plan to violently overthrow the lawful government of the United States.
“My plan was that on the last day we would go into the [congressional] offices we would schedule the most hardcore hawks for last — and we would shoot them all...I was serious." Scott Camil, VVAW
From one of the New York Sun's series of articles:
“…Mr. Nicosia also read quotes from FBI surveillance documents he obtained under the Freedom of Information Act as he was preparing his 2001 book, “Home to War."
“My evidence is incontrovertible. He was there," Mr. Nicosia said in an interview yesterday. “There’s no way that five or six agents saw his ghost there," said the historian, who lives in Marin County, north of San Francisco.
Mr. Nicosia said that the records show Mr. Kerry resigned from the group on the third day of the meeting, following discussion of the assassination plan and an argument between Mr. Kerry and another VVAW national coordinator, Al Hubbard.
Reading from an FBI informant report, Mr. Nicosia said, “John Kerry at a national Vietnam Veterans Against the War meeting appeared and announced to those present that he resigned for personal reasons but said he would be able to speak for VVAW " at future events." – Josh Gerstein, New York Sun - March 19, 2004
Please note that even Kerry’s “resignation" from the group was a self-serving act of convenience not conscience, only driven by Kerry’s desire to run for political office.
It's beyond comprehension that after attending at least one meeting where an active and serious assassination plan was discussed, Kerry was still willing to be their spokesman - anything that would get him media face-time.
Kerry has lied about his VVAW experience and his “anti-war" activities for over 30 years. His campaign has only now come clean because the evidence arrayed against him includes at least 6 different eye-witnesses and the testimony of FBI undercover agents who were also at those meetings.
Set against the realities of the war on terror, if holding a leadership position in the VVAW and his participation in discussions about assassinating United States Senators is not grounds for barring John Forbes Kerry from ever seeking elective office, we can’t imagine what is.
Kerry has never publicly rejected the VVAW, he has never apologized for his role as the organization's official spokesman nor has he rejected its terrorist agenda.
John Forbes Kerry is so monstrously ego-driven, so reckless, so lacking in veracity, judgment and temperament, that his candidacy should be rejected outright. If it proceeds it will be the final nail in the coffin of the Democrat Party, a party that will be crushed at the polls on November 2.

Even on Vacation, Kerry's Foul Mouth Gets No Rest, Friday, March 19, 2004
Well, it turns out Hillary Clinton isn't the only one to use abusive language against Secret Service agents. Foulmouthed John "F." Kerry, noted for his obscenity-laced Web site and naughty interview with Rolling Stone, is at it again.---------------Trying to relax at the mansion in Idaho to avoid further meltdown, the Massachusetts Democrat saw his photo opportunity on the ski slopes go awry.
The New York Times reported today that Kerry rammed into one of his protectors, fell down and had himself a snow sandwich.
Owwww. The most painful flip-flop of all.
"When asked about the mishap a moment later, he said sharply, 'I don't fall down,' then used an expletive to describe the agent who 'knocked me over.'"
Hmm. If the FCC starts fining Kerry the way it's going after Howard Stern, Mrs. K will have to manage her investments better.
I can just imagine what "President" Kerry's Fireside chats would be like.
My fellow citizens, Today we stand tall as we pause to raise our [bleep] hands ...
Today I was thinking....
If Kerry knew of brutal incidents, shouldn't Kerry have fought to have the the "bad behavior" of the soldiers punished?
Why did the alleged brutal acts by our GIs mean we had to withdraw from Vietnam?
That response only teaches unwilling soldiers that they can end a war by (the mere threat of) behaving brutally.
BUSH IS A DESERTER!
CLINTON'S KILLED VINCE FOSTER!
KERRY IS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST!
RUMSFELD IS GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES!!
All of the above comments can be argued as having merit by those who make them. In some cases the case may be better then in others. However, in all cases those statements make the person who made them seem to be an extremist, hell bent on a specific narrow agenda.
There is plenty of ammunition to defeat Kerry w/o using the bombast that is being used in this post.

well, johnny, if you must know, since I posted earlier I have run to the hardware store twice, while I was replacing toilet seats in the upstairs and downstairs bath rooms. I also went for a two mile walk down by the waterfront with my wife. I then took an old American Flag to a church where an Eagle scout candidate was offering to properly dispose of American flags, complete with a playing of taps. I then had the car washed by some kids doing a fundraiser to pay for their trip to the Rose Parade in 2005.
And you?
I guess you have been at your computer all day.
D'ya think that the information in the post itself was bombastic, or just the label of domestic terrorist?
Yes, I thought the label, and use of the word 'terrorist' was over the top.
Although I had not expressed it, your scenario parallels my thoughts and is far closer to the truth then the exaggerations indicated by the original post.
