BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Several months ago, I wrote a column titled "Who is John Kerry?" I have yet to get a reasonable answer.
Of course, there were a lot of letters to the editor slamming both me and President Bush for attacking Kerry, but none to my knowledge had much of anything to say in support of Kerry. Can anyone say why they will vote for Kerry other than the fact that his last name isn't Bush?
The few people I have talked to who can say definitively why they will vote for Kerry are single-issue voters. Specifically, they are women who wish to protect abortion privileges. But then again, there are precious few Republicans who favor abortion rights and have the political wherewithal to attain the Republican nomination for president. It's never so much a vote for Kerry as it is a vote for something else.
Anti-Bush: 1. Kerry: 0.
OK, let's look at Iraq. As much as Kerry tries to blame Bush for Iraq, he signed off on it -- for whatever reason -- and he is as responsible as anyone in Congress who voted for it. He wasn't against the war until it was fashionable to be so, thereby stealing Gov. Howard Dean's thunder and the presumable nomination.
Dean: 1. Kerry: 0.
Perhaps Kerry could gain some support on the economy/job-loss issue. Except, well, not really. He voted for the North American Free Trade Agreement, the red herring often blamed for the exportation of American jobs, even though many jobs are being shipped to India and other places not included in NAFTA.
Nonetheless, Kerry later renounced his vote for NAFTA, citing a lack of environmental and labor protection provisions, as if we could export business without exporting some jobs or developing (a.k.a. poor) countries would really implement any mandatory (and expensive) environmental standards.
Also note that the country is continuing to create more domestic jobs, further deflating the argument for Kerry. His plans to increase taxes are as likely to help the economy as Lil' Jon's "Get Low" has of earning him the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Growing economy: 1. Kerry: 0.
I concede that Kerry is a war hero, but when said hero chucks his nation's gratitude into the reflecting pool at the National Mall for a photo op, he forgoes all privileges to then use said heroism as evidence of patriotism and character.
Shameful self-aggrandizement: 1. Kerry: 0.
The list goes on ad nauseam, but the fact remains that all anyone can say about John Kerry is that he is not George W. Bush. I, in turn, offer the following alternative, non-Bush candidates for President:
-- Shirley MacClaine, potentially the first female president. She claims to have been many people in past lives, but not one of them was George W. Bush.
-- Howard Dean. Perhaps he was overexuberant, but he was a lonely voice from the left who opposed the war. He's not Bush and he would not pretend to be him if it suddenly became popular. For that I respect him.
-- Charles Manson. Being the anti-people candidate, we can be relatively certain he is in favor of abortion rights. Yet given the fact that he is still breathing because of the nationwide death penalty moratorium the Supreme Court enacted after his conviction, he is presumably also anti-death penalty. (Perhaps he can get an endorsement from Amnesty International.) And best of all, he's not Bush.
A challenge to Kerry supporters: Kindly explain to me why John Kerry should be president of the United States -- not why Bush shouldn't be. There are plenty of people who are not George Bush, but why Kerry?
"Is anyone for John Kerry?" Only liberal leftist communist demoncRATS.
I had a long discussion last week with three Kerry 'supporters'. In several hours, they said not one word about Kerry. It's all about Bush.
Barbie has more brains........
And the Islamists. Don't forget the Islamists.
I hereby nominate "Freek-A-Leek" for Nobel Prize of Literature...
That's some ringing endorsement!

The religion of peace, Islam, is and all of their supporters on the left. Good Luck kerry.
Right! Never forget the islamics! Which makes a small point interesting--Kerry has Jewish roots (his grandfather was Jewish). A fact that Ketchupman tried to hide. Now the crazy swine islamics don't particularly like Jews. Why would they support Ketchupman?
Why did they support Toon? Self-loathing?
I think someone who is a single issue pro abortion voter can honestly support Kerry.
The french can also honestly support Kerry. He is their perfect candidate. The only thing he stands for is not standing for anything but appeasement.
YEP! EVERYBODY with 1/2 a mind..........
My favorite phrase from Barbie was the whiny statement, "math is tooooo HARD!"
Gigolos can also honestly support Sexy's boytoy.
Didn't C'toon force concessions from Israel for the islamic palis? I'm guessing but thinking that C'toon forced Israel to agree to everything ole araRAT requested. However, araRAT, even after getting everything he wanted, still said "NO". As a result of the forced concessions, the Israelis said "enough is enough" and elected a new PM, a person that drew the line in the sand to araRATfink. Anyway, that's why I'm thinking that the islamics just love the C'toon.
Naw, I'm expecting Ketchupman to hold his finger up and test the direction of the wind. Then he'll select two Veeps. :)
That reason and a few others I suspect. Which is why character does count in a presidential candidate.
