Naushon Island - Where GOP sharks smell Kerry's blue blood

Boston Herald ^ | 4/30/04 | Andrew Miga

Kerry has just so much in common with the rest of us. (Sarcasm)

[MegaSilver]

Republicans smell blood. Make that blue blood.

Speaking as an ACTUAL blue blood, I find Kerry's rich snobbery to be laughable.

[Smartass]

I wonder if "Hanoi John" would open up his private
Island to America's homeless. After all, how many Islands
and mansions does a true blue blooded Socialist need?

A True Man of the People.

The Bush campaign and its allies have already targeted Kerry’s lavish lifestyle in a big way. It’s obviously a strategy dripping with hypocrisy since President Bush [related, bio], like Kerry, is a son of privilege with an Ivy League pedigree.

What this author apparently doesn't grasp is that it is how you ACT that makes you appear entitled. Bush likes doing things most Americans like ... Kerry appears caught up in privilege.

[John Lenin]

This is too much , the pinhead owns an island. If leftists don't see the irony of this they are blind !

[Illwind]

Nice place for a boat load of Haitians to swarm ashore.

He has one thing in common with me: Our Federal taxes for 2003.

Kerry's first Federal income tax return for 2003 had him paying a little less tax than I did and his second 2003 ammended return had him paying a little more tax than I did for 2003.

How come he has so much more than I do for paying the same amount of Federal taxes?

Whatever happened to "I Want to Make the Rich Pay their Fair Share of Taxes"?

[WFTR]

If leftists don't see the irony of this they are blind !

Blindness is one of the necessary characteristics of the new American left.

"Speaking as an ACTUAL blue blood,"

Give us your background Mega, if you don't mind. Kerry is pretty pathetic in the blue blood dept. as is now well known. And his inability to hide his glee in his wealth marks him as a nouveau riche, if not, in fact, the gigalo he is derided as being. I think that's rather mean in fact as I'm sure Teresa loves him very much. Why she wasn't able to stop him from running for pres. remains a mystery.

My best friend is a direct descendant of William Bradford, she is eligible for DAR and Daughters of the Conferedacy on both sides, and obviously the Mayflower Society. Every 4th of July I call her and thank her for her forebears, this year I'm trying to get it through her libertarian leaning skull that she needs to vote for Bush.

Me, I am not of a high class, but I think my family was pretty bourgeois even back in the old country 100 years ago.

Meaning I'm a descendent of medieval royalty. Norwegian, to be specific.

You would never know it from talking to me. I'm just an ordinary American. :)

Yeah but all people like us will do is buy another Lexus, the "working poor" (most of whom don't work and still drive luxury cars) only get a muffler, according to Daschle. John F'ing Kerry however, is a true man of the people who knows that entitlements really get out the vote.

LOL! Post of the Week!

As someone who is descended from the best horse-thief, escaped indentured servant in the Jamestown Colony, unrepentant debtor, land squatter and village thug, welcome to America!

Why don't these folks get that the issue is not wealth, the issue is integrity, or being what you appear, or try to appear, to be. Our President is a wealthy man who is comfortable in his own skin and is who he appears to be. Since he is comfortable with his wealth, he believes in policies which will make wealth possible for others.

John f'n, on the other hand, is a phony and a gigolo whose policies don't line up with his personal life. The left requires large pools of "disadvantaged" voters depending on them for salvation, so their policies are necessarily designed to keep down as many as possible. The hypocrisy is in those who (ten times richer than the republicans they decry) live lavishly while promoting poverty as a virtue.

Landslide in '04 !!

I heard a brief mention this morning, of Kerry's "servant". Has anyone else heard of this guy? I'd like to know more. Who is he, How many "Servants" are in John and TheRAYsah's household?

"horseback windsurfing"

Gee, how long to you think it takes to train the horses to do that?
