Terri, can you be more of you now? Please? We want to get a great sense of what we're getting!

My sentiments exactly! We need to see more of Teresa . . . and soon!

Teresa Heinz Kerry promises to 'be me' in the White House!

We must keep our children and grandchildren from seeing the true Ms Heinz to keep them from having nightmares for years.

If you heard Nancy Reagan or Hillary Clinton speaking you would recognize their voice. But not so with Teresa Heinz Kerry. Why not? Because they have done focus group studies on her and most people don't like to listen to her voice. It's grating on the average American ear. Plus, she nuttier than a fruitcake. Which can easily be proven when you consider she married John Kerry.

I just received this little tidbit from a friend. I didn't check it out but it seems authentic enough.

Mrs John Kerry >>by Paul R. Hollrah >>

Maria Teresa Thiersten Simoes-Ferreira Heinz Kerry was born in Mozambique, the daughter of a Portuguese physician, and was educated in Switzerland and South Africa.

Fluent in five languages, she was working as a United Nations interpreter in Geneva in the mid-60's when she met a handsome young American, H. John Heinz, III, who worked at a bank in Geneva. He told her his family was "in the food business." They were married in 1966 and returned to Pittsburgh where his family ran the giant H.J. Heinz food company.

He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1971, and in 1976 he was elected to the first of three terms in the United States Senate.

Senator H. John Heinz was a friend of mine - not a close friend, not a golfing buddy, but a friend nonetheless. The last time I saw him alive was, oddly enough, in the men's restroom at the Maverick Steakhouse, a favorite nighttime eatery and watering hole for politicians and lobbyists in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

The senator was standing at a wash basin, drying his hands, when I entered the room. When he turned and saw me he rushed toward me, threw his arms around me, and said, "Paul, it's good to see you!" All I could do was mumble, "Senator, do you really think we should be seen hugging each other in a men's restroom?" He didn't think so, and neither did I, but we shared a good laugh over his impromptu display of affection.

Several years later, in 1987, he was killed when his plane collided with a Sun Oil Company helicopter over a Philadelphia suburb - the same helicopter that I often used to travel between Philadelphia and Washington, DC. The senator, his pilot and co-pilot, and both of Sun's helicopter pilots were killed. He was survived by his wife, Teresa, and their three young sons.

Four years later, after inheriting Heinz's $500 million fortune, she married Senator John Forbes Kerry, the liberal junior senator from Massachusetts. She became a registered Democrat and the process of her radicalization was set in motion.

Heinz Kerry is not shy about telling people that she required Kerry to sign a pre-nuptial agreement before they were married. John Kerry may not have check-writing privileges on the Heinz catsup and pickle fortune, but he is certainly a willing and uncomplaining beneficiary of it. A lot of hard-earned money, made through many years of hawking catsup, pickles, and soup, has fallen into the hands of two people who despise successful people and who believe in the confiscatory redistribution of wealth.

So how does Mrs. Heinz Kerry spend John Heinz's money? Just one example:

According to the G2 Bulletin, an online intelligence newsletter of WorldNetDaily, in the years between 1995-2001 she gave more than $4 million to an organization called the Tides Foundation. And what does the Tides Foundation do with John Heinz's money?

**They support numerous anti-war groups, including Ramsey Clark's International Action Center. Clark has offered to defend Saddam Hussein when he's tried.

**They support the Democratic Justice Fund, a joint venture of the Tides Foundation and billionaire hate-monger George Soros. The Democratic Justice Fund seeks to ease restrictions on Muslim immigration from "terrorist" states.

**They support the Council for American-Islamic Relations, whose leaders are known to have close ties to the terrorist group, Hamas.

**They support the National Lawyers Guild, organized as a communist front during the Cold War era. One of their attorneys, Lynne Stewart, has been arrested for helping a client, Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, communicate with terror cells in Egypt. He is the convicted mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

**They support Planned Parenthood, the National Abortion Rights Action League, and the Abortion Action Project.

**They support the most violent of all homosexual action groups, ACT-UP.

**They support the "Barrio Warriors," a radical Hispanic group whose primary goal is to return all of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas to Mexico.

These are but a few of the radical groups that benefit, through the anonymity provided by the Tides Foundation, from the generosity of our would-be first lady - the wealthy widow of Republican senator John Heinz, and now the wife of the Democratic senator who aspires to be the 44th President of the United States.

If voters will only try to imagine a woman such as Teresa Heinz Kerry, the fairy godmother of the radical left, laying her head on a pillow each night just inches from the President of the United States, hopefully they will decide that the only way these two will ever be allowed into the White House is with an engraved invitation in hand.

As I recall that somewhat embarrassing chance meeting in the men's restroom at the Maverick Steakhouse in Harrisburg, instead of mumbling some inane nonsense about getting caught in a friendly embrace, I wish now that I'd had the good sense to whisper in his ear, "John! Go home! Get a lawyer! Change your will!" But, of course, we didn't know her then, did we?

I'll do everything in my power to see that you NEVER have the chance, missy.

She said that Hillary Clinton was "very focused, she knows what she wants and she works hard at it, and she's been a good senator."

Oh, really? And exactly what has Senator Clinton done to make her "a good senator", Teresa?

At least there's a good chance she won't steal the silverware.

For one thing, the date of Sen. Heinz's death is wrong. It was in the early 90's--1991 maybe?

I do not want to see Teresa Heinz in the WH. Period. But I do not dislike her and it makes me uncomfortable to see her getting attacked so. She would probably be one of the more intelligent first ladies we've ever had (which is NOT saying that Laura Bush is any slouch, I think she's highly intelligent) but I think she's much more intelligent than Hillary ever was. Her father wanted her to become a doctor and she wanted to remain a traditional mother. Like her or not, she's done a decent job of raising her children and even though she probably would have preferred her husband to not run for president, she is supporting and helping him. In fact, she does remind me somewhat of Nancy Reagan although she's definitely quirkier. She's loyal, faithful, and protected her children's financial interests when she signed a pre-nup to marry Sen. Kerry who already had a history of marrying, then dumping, heiresses. I have no real problem with her. I just don't want to replace Laura Bush right now.

Teresa Heinz Kerry won't model herself on either Hillary Clinton or Nancy Reagan if her husband, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, reaches the White House. Speaking at a Montecito fund-raiser Saturday, Heinz Kerry, 65, said she would "continue to be me."

She's running as Teresa!

Clinton who? I live in Western NY and haven't seen such a Jr. Senator around here. I thought I heard something about a Hillary- but that she was just visiting while on her next campaign stop to run for President.

SHE'S DONE NOTHING FOR THIS STATE. We should have put up a much more serious contender than Lazio. No disrespect intended, but we needed someone that could have brought out bigtime GOP voting.

As long as she's promised not to model herself on Hillary, I think that's a good thing!

Nobody expects her to model herself on Nancy Reagan - that would be far too much to expect of a liberal.

I'd certainly settle for "polite."

Does this mean she's going to tear down the WH and build a new one?

Rudy dropped out too late to make the race attractive to a decent contender. Pataki woould beat her if he ran.

If John Kerry is elected, his wife will be his "brother Billy".
