Boston Democrats Pose as National Security Hawks and Social Moderates

Kerry's Massachusetts Masquerade

by Terence P. Jeffrey Posted Jul 30, 2004

True Values

Deep in section 15 last Sunday, the New York Times printed the results of a poll it had conducted surveying more than 1,000 of the Democratic delegates. It revealed a group hailing from the hard left: 44% favored same-sex marriage (while another 43% favored civil unions), 62% said imposing environmental regulations is more important than preserving jobs, 66% opposed the death penalty for murderers, 75% favored abortion on demand, 77% said they are more concerned that anti-terrorism laws will violate civil liberties than they are that the laws won't do enough to stop terrorists, 78% said government should not favor traditional values over any other type of values, and 89% said all or most of the Bush tax cuts should be allowed to expire.

These views echo the true values (and for the most part the voting record) of the Kerry-Edwards ticket. But they are radically at odds with the Kerry-Edwards political strategy.

To win, John Kerry needs to hold every state Al Gore won in 2000, and pick up one or two more. That almost certainly means he must win somewhere in the South, and cannot lose any Midwest state Gore won narrowly four years ago (Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin) or any of the states that Gore won in 2000 where President Bush is competitive today (Michigan, Pennsylvania).

Kerry 2004

I want to be the President,
Though all know I can’t lead.
I really want the power though,
It’s really what I need.
I’ll lie and cheat and fabricate,
I’ll flip and flop for sure.
The left’s so dumb they’ll vote for me,
For stupid, there’s no cure.
George Bush lied, I’ll chant and sing,
Though I know it’s not true.
I love America I’ll say,
Another lie for you.
I’ll back the UN’s global push,
No sovereignty for us.
The world rides free at our expense,
We’ll even buy the bus.
Let terror rain down on this land,
We really are to blame.
Oh yes, I fought in Viet Nam,
Four months, then home I came.
Three Purple Hearts for paper cuts,
Like some rite of passage.
You bet my name’s John Kerry,
And I approve this message.

Tammy Bruce was just on FOX pointing out that there was unity at the convention only because moderate to conservative democrats were clearly unwelcome and absent.

When you click post reply at the bottom of the box is a tagline space just above the preview/post, just type your message into it. It will remember it, or you can change it from time to time.

Fortunately for the Demos, the Heinz-Kerry handlers whisked them out of town before they could provide any more embarrassments ahead of Monday's opening ceremonies. But unfortunately for the Demos, they failed to take convention speaker Christie Vilsack, wife of Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack, with them. Indeed, Ms. Vilsack provided plenty of amusement Monday morning in a Boston Herald Op-Ed, observing, "I am fascinated by the way some African-Americans speak to each other in an English I struggle to understand." She then added that Southerners seem to have "slurred speech," and "the only way I can speak like residents of Pennsylvania and New Jersey is to let my jaw drop an inch and talk with my mouth in an 'O' like a fish." Thank you, Ms. Vilsack!

This is how they really feel in the Kerry camp.
