KERRY CAMP SPINS ITS WHEELS By Charles Hurt THE WASHINGTON TIMES ----------------------------------------------------------- AURORA, Colo. - Sen. John Kerry spoke about the plight of the American worker when he traveled to Detroit earlier this week, a safe message for the blue-collar workers who build cars there.
So it was a little strange that the campaign picked as its press-pass logo for its Motor City tour the gleaming showcase car of a foreign auto company - Rolls-Royce - that makes cars priced far outside the financial reach of any middle-class voter.
"That's an insult to the auto worker, it's an insult to the American worker, it's an insult to mainstream America," said Sam Burwell from Corunna, Mich., a third-generation auto worker for General Motors. "It also shows who he's really in touch with: his European, elitist French friends and not Americans like me. A Rolls-Royce, for cryin' out loud."

I hope Mr Buewell finds Freerepublic. If he's not already a Freeper, he certainly should be.

It is totally perplexing that union workers will go right ahead and vote for this guy. Apparently pulling the lever is the knee-jerk reaction after a slap in the face.

The following announcement is from Teddy Wahle Kennedy, driver of the Rolls Royce Komrad Kerry Kamp Bus on the anniverisary of his submarine driving at Chappaquidwic.
Attention Rat Voters/Passengers, "The 2004 al Kerry Bus, inspite of the minor 'Dox in Sox' dip in the road, is right on schedule for Victory in November! Vote for Kerry several times and leave the driving to us!"

"I could say that the Rolls-Royce is the perfect symbol of who got the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, but sometimes objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear," he said. Like Kerry's past?

Imagine if this fool actually got elected. We would have four years of bone-headed political blunders. (not to mention stupid liberal policies)

I bet Kerry is livid that someone screwed up like this and didn't pick a Bentley.

This is not humor -- this was an actual credential handed out by the Kerry campaign to the press. It is news.

(Thurston Howell voice) Dear me, I never drive but that vehicle looked quite fetching.
BTW, the new Chrysler 300 takes several styling ques from this vehicle, or vice versa.

It comes as no surprise that the individuals demented enough to work for the election of this French gigolo billionaire could blunder this big.
The Kerry campaign workers are either communists, perverts, or imbeciles.

OMG. You just cannot make stuff up as bad as this Kerry campaign. If we can't beat these morons, we had better just all move to Singapore.
