".........and my "problem" is that I'm too good looking."

Now you gotta post a picture! LOL

[Utah Girl]

That's exactly what I am worried about.

[Becki]

Every time I hear him on radio or TV the words "insufferable blowhard" come to mind.

You are a lot kinder than I am. The words Pompous A.. come to my mind.

[Cap Huff]

That two-fer is very clever. It does show that there is likely a thought out plan for a possible switcheroo play later on in the campaign.

[Samwise]

Kerrythink:
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'Kerrythink' involved the use of Kerrythink.

It makes me mad when people back off from John F**kin Kerry's service in Viet F**king Nam. I think he only went to Nam in the first place because he thought it would help his political ambitions like it helped his idol JFK (reference The Boston Globe bio on Kerry). He knew if he got wounded three times he was out of there. Hence the superficial wounds. Yeah, Yeah maybe he did some heroic things but I guarantee you there wasn't a Viet Nam Vet that served that didn't do something heroic. (I know many Vets that did things that never asked for recognition.) Kerry was out of there as quick as possible after his third wound. If he had of been a real hero he would have served out his complete service. As soon as he gets back he joins a radical Anti-War campaign and is the reason many Viet Nam Vets I know got spit on the minute their feet landed on US soil after serving their full time which was usually 13 months.

As far as I'm concerned his Viet Nam service and his anti war antics are like eating a candy bar and drinking a diet drink. They cancel each other out.

I was at the health club today, trying to get a little exercise. They had that blowhard giving his Earth Day speech on CNN. I screamed back at the television. Most of my fellow exercise fanatics thought I saw nuts. I just couldn't take it when that pompous a$$hole talked about relying less on foreign oil, when it has been the enviro-whackos on the left who have stopped virtually all new drilling (particularly in Alaska) because it could allegedly harm the environment. What hypocrites!

[CFC__VRWC]

The Bush team has already shoved Kerry's image to the left,...

I'd say Kerry's done quite a good job of shoving his own image way to the left all on his own. All that the Bush campaign has had to do is document the move.

[MagnoliaB]

Really! Who in the hell is ever going to see these areas where we can't drill? Off shore drilling. Do these people boat out that far that their view of the horizon which shows nothing but water, water everywhere is spoiled? Do they go to the remote areas of Alaska where they want to drill? Sorry but this is the reality. I'll guarantee you that most of the tree huggers that scream the most wouldn't go camping or even spend a day out in "nature" anyway.

I grew up in the country. I love the wide open spaces. I have had to get in step with the fact that my wide open spaces have become congested with housing developments, Walmarts, Strip Malls etc. What's the difference? The wide open spaces aren't there anymore. Everything changes with time. They need to get over it.

[MagnoliaB]

Sorry I screwed up. Some how I posted my last post on this thread to the WRONG THING. Drinking was involved. Please Ignore.

[TheBigB]

It's been 40+ years since a Senator ascended to the Presidency.

And that streak ain't gonna end this year.

BUSH-CHENEY 2004!!!

[Batrachian]

The Democrats made the assumption that because Kerry is a veteran and, as we're told, a hero, that he's insulated from being called a liberal. I'm glad the Bush team sees through this and is going for it.

I thought they where going to be too polite to use the "L" word. Not the new tone, don't you know, but I'm glad to see they have some 'nads. They'll need them against this bunch.

[Watery Tart]

Kerry's biggest negative is his voice, accent, and manner of speaking. Every time I hear him on radio or TV the words "insufferable blowhard" come to mind.

Agreed. I expect him to break into "Four score and seven years ago...." It's like he thinks he's making tapes for a future presidential library. Sheesh.

[stocksthatgoup]

Nuance is French for "TRUTH" isn't it?

[My2Cents]

That's fantastic! I love that picture.

[stocksthatgoup]

but it does define hillary too. It's a two-fer. not a two-fer....a heifer"

[Dec31,1999]

So, President Bush puts releases ads spelling out Kerry's agenda. Good work!

The issue here is what I've been saying for years, and I'll say it again:

It's the TV, stupid!

[TLI]

"OOOhhh, that's going to leave a mark"

Ain't gonna grow back, either!

[antaresequity]

Kerry's biggest negative is John Kerry

Add to that sanctimonious and condescending and it's time for the barf bag.
I have to hit the mute button 5 seconds after they start running his speeches.

By the way, I LOVE Rush's imitation of Kerry. He has me laughing all afternoon.
