I was looking through Google and there was something called the Veterans Party.... whats that?
why does electoral-vote.com think Kerry is ahead?
Headlne on 11/1/04,,,,"Will Kerry blow the queer vote?" Headline on ll/3/04..."Kerry blew the queer vote, still lost!"
Here is what they really said, via yahoo (go figure):
Earlier, their bus convoy pulled over at a Wendy's fast food restaurant for a photo opportunity lunch that provided an awkward moment.
Spotting a group of US Marines, Kerry, who has made his Vietnam War service a cornerstone of his campaign, went over to chat. The Marines, who all turned out to be staunch Bush reporters, were not impressed.
"He imposed on us and I disagree with him coming over here shaking our hands," one of them told reporters afterwards. "I'm 100 percent against" Kerry, he said. "We support our commander-in-chief 100 percent."

I hope the surveys keep saying Kerry's ahead...it will keep conservatives from being complacent about voting.
:D
No doubt run by liberals but they have a nice map.
Geee, I wonder why the ABCBSNBCMSNBCNN Crowd didn't show those quotes.....
Now what we need is the video of this and get some t-shirts made-up.
I wonder how many Marines were there. I mean Kerry found what 11 former Military to support him, and then as his bus tour hits the first stop in NY, and wala, 3,4 or 5 of the Marines don't support him... I wonder whoever scouted these Marines will get fired over this. You can look for Kerry to avoid all active duty Marines here on out.
Guess we need only a few more to negate his entire Vietnam four month tour.
BTW - did you know Kerry was awarded three purple hearts? ;)
Regards,
Joe
Kerry will not be greeting young soldiers for the rest of the campaign.
(might get his girley man *ss kicked from here to bahgdad.)
It is not a good idea to interrupt a Marine while he is eating.
i wish those marines woulda said something straight to kerry's face about how much of a disgrace he was and still is to the U.S. military....acting like an infantry man in a video....what a fraud!
Spoken like a U.S. Marine
I am not sure it isn't just wishful thinking but that young man looks like a cat ready to pounce on a mouse????
Look at his left hand and the expression on his seatmates face...In a 'happy' situation like that one would think while it is proper for the Marine being addressed to be standing, the one sitting would at least look like someone is enjoying the moment.
What an awesome pic. Kerry just wanted to USE them for his own gain. What do the kids say today? "he got served!" HA
lol! i love the pics.
Democratic Presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry , D-Mass., speaks during an interview with the Associated Press at a Wendy's Restaurant in Newburgh, N.Y. Friday, July 30, 2004. John Kerry said Friday he would put Osama bin Laden on trial in U.S. courts rather than an international tribunal to ensure the 'fastest, surest route' to a murder conviction if the terrorist mastermind is captured while he is president.

I'm betting he also cranked out an excuse about his run in with the Marines. I wish that Marine had broken dorkyman's pointy finger right off!
Bump!
Note that the Chronicle doesn't mention the Wendy-eating Edwards are multi-millonaires. It would have been pointed out, if this were a GOP ticket.
