[history]
John Kerry's campaign has been a font of slogans and catch phrases, but few of them have caught on - even with him.
Early on he offered a "better set of choices," then said he would make America "safer, stronger, more secure." Last September he found the "courage to do what's right for America." In November he declared himself "the real deal" and dared President George W. Bush to "bring it on." In March he promised "change starts here," in April he vowed to "build a stronger America," and in early May he touted his "lifetime of service and strength."

In the WOT, America is being America again.
However, all of the things that kerry's for: AA, defense spending cuts, reduced intelligence (and that's not including his own), never ending spending on education, the death penalty for nobody but Bush and the Boys, offing your offspring, etc. is the reason America can't be America, if that's a plausibility to begin with anyway.
Like I said on few disparate threads, the best thing the Republicans can do to provide for the General Welfare (read: re-elect GW) is to let kerry be kerry again, and again, and again. What a giant, gaping you know what!

I'm pretty sure he was a communist. I think he even referred to the US as the USSA in one of his poems. Appropriate slogan material for Kerry. What an f'ing dimwit.

He can always divorce Terresa and marry Hillary....and promise another co-presidency Don't think so, JFK doesn't trade down, financially. He's limited.

I guarantee you that they are, but the tapes get lost quickly if they're from an alphabet network.

There will be no mainstream news clips of anything that's damaging to Kerry.

Reminds me of a bit done by a comic a while back on the news that some idiotic officials in New Jersey were promoting Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run" as state song.
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get out while we're young You don't hear many state anthems that mention suicide or fleeing. Of course, no one will dare criticize Kerry on selecting this poem.
It should be said in fairness that Republicans usually have far worse judgement about such things than Democrats, selecting songs like "Little Pink Houses" as campaign songs, for example.

Kerry's long search for the magic message may be over Presumably, this means he's finally finished test marketing "Allah Akbar!"

He says:
"Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be."
He means:
"Maybe if we all think real hard, we can stop this rain."
