Some Democrats Say Kerry Must Get Back on the Trail

Yeah. With or without those Secret Service sons-of-bitches.

[teletech]

Sounds like some leftist RATS are getting nervous.

[shrinkermd]

The McCainiacs better prepare. He is the only one who can make a difference in giving the RATS a chance. Everyone will be happy at first, but it is anybody's guess what Howard Dean will do. Next time they should know who they are voting for.

Finger in the wind...

The "ferocity" of the Republican "attack"... dear Lord, these people are a living parody of themselves.

So, basically, the Democrats are concerned that every time John Kerry opens his mouth, he will get in trouble. Seems like they should have thought about that before they anointed him. Any openings at the Howard Dean Charm School?

[VRWC For Truth]

Kerry is the Marie Antoinette of the Senate

[Right_in_Virginia]

"He has to come out forcefully and defend his record..." said Gordon Fischer, the Democratic chairman in Iowa. "I don't think that's fair. But he's got to get out there...

It's not fair to have to defend a voting record?! ~~ What a lame adolescent remark.

[K1avg]

Most Republicans want Kerry to get back on the trail too: the more time he has to speak, the more chances he has to make himself look like a fool.

Of course, he's not doing such a bad job of that while on vacation, either...

[the Real fifi]

His friends, OTOH think he ought to stay behind locked doors and keep his mouth shut.

[Betaille]

I'm quite impressed... this was actually somewhat objective and straightforward reporting. I think its hilarious that they think the Bush attacks so far have been so overwhelming. I think Bush hasnt even taken off his fluffy pink mittens yet... when he starts going after Kerry for real, the democrats will go into panic. Shock and Awe baby!

[F.J. Mitchell]

Better to be stumbling, falling down and looking like a complete fool on the slopes in Idaho, than returning to the Flip Flop trail and proving it.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

"When you burn the candle at both ends,"

Huh ? Kerry is handed the nomination on a silver platter, his opposition consisted of Al Sharpton and Dennis Kuchinich, the partisan media was on their knees the whole campaign and poor John is so pooped, he popped ?

Kerry has the "old deer in the headlights " look. Becoming the nominee may have been Kerry's biggest flip flop, to date. He was running for the nomination, but, he didn't really want the nomination.
All the cliches apply to Kerry- Be careful what you wish for, Not ready for prime time, On the job training, This old dog won't hunt, etc.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the DNC HQ and also have a corner on the Maalox concessions in Georgetown.

[vaudine]

"I don't think that's fair." Of course you you don't. It is about a fellow Dem. a dim Dem, at that. Of course, when the butt of the joke or complaint is a Repub. all's fair in love and campaigning.

John "Wasted away again" Kerry's week in song:

Dick threw out my flip-flops.
I tripped on a fed cop.
Acted a heel couldn't snowboard back down.
But the news' in the blender,
And soon it will render,
A well-spun concoction to help me hang on!

Wasted away again in Liberalfantasyville.
Searching for that slick way to the top.
Some people say that it's my woman who pays...
Still I'll lose: "It's Bush/Cheney's fault"!

[TheLion]

"Gov. Bob Wise, Democrat of West Virginia, a critical state for Mr. Kerry to win, said: "What's important is they've got to come back and rebut them right away, because he's not well known. He clearly has to rebut this, and keep swinging."

He is going to have such a backlog of things to rebutt....he'll probably just fold!

[Joee]

I would like to see his real character magnified when he called the Secret Service agent that knocked him off his snow board a "Son of a Bitch." The agent, reported "Lurch" to higher authority.

Anyone know how it came out???? It's too juicy to let drop.

[Jim_Curtis]

Democrats were wondering if even Mr. Kerry had underestimated the ferocity of the White House attack.
***
Day after day Kerry was on the stump pleading "BRING-IT-ON". Bush finally steps up to the microphone and says "John Kerry flip-flops" and now they are begging "call off the dogs"?

Bush hasn't even gotten around to Kerry's treason yet so if they are whining about ferocity already it's a rather laughable attempt to instill guilt in conservatives so that we become back-offish and the libs have already set the standard of appropriate political discourse with the "Bush is a deserter, Bush was AWOL" lies and the truths that are told about Kerry won't measure up to that level of ferocity.

[Betaille]

"Kerry was on the stump pleading "BRING-IT-ON"."
Haha! We haven't even started to "Bring it" yet you pathetic snob. Bush barely said boo and Kerry is already running for the mountains, truly pathetic.

[July 4th]

and retooling his campaign to appeal to a general election audience. Après ski, of course.

I think that this is a very important line, particularly when appearing in the Times. It means that the elitist persona has finally stuck. Bonne chance, Monsieur Kerry...it's a long way to November.
