KERRY SNEAKS IN FANCY FOOD

AT the same time they posed for pictures chomping down on fast food at Wendy's, John Kerry and John Edwards the wealthiest presidential ticket of all time had gourmet box lunches waiting for them in their bus.
The Kerry/Edwards photo-op campaign stop at Wendy's in upstate Newburgh, N.Y., last Friday included lots of blue-collar flesh-pressing and autograph-signing but very little eating.
The reason? A member of the Kerry/Edwards advance team had ordered much fancier fare the night before from posh Nikola's Restaurant at the Newburgh Yacht Club at a cost of about $200, the Mid-Hudson News reports.
The deluxe lunches were picked up at noon and were waiting on the bus as Connoisseur Kerry ordered just chili at Wendy's and his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, ultimately settled on just a Frosty.
Just because Teresa inherited a ketchup fortune doesn't mean she likes burgers and fries. "You could tell she wasn't familiar with the menu," Wendy's manager John Garrett told PAGE SIX's Lisa Marsh. But, "Mr. and Mrs. Edwards knew what they wanted right away," Garrett said. John and Elizabeth Edwards ate "a single combo and a single combo with cheese," a smallish meal of a single-patty burger.
In contrast, the box lunches on the bus featured shrimp vindaloo, grilled diver sea scallops, prosciutto-wrapped stuffed chicken and steak salad. With such fare waiting for them, it's no wonder the candidates and their spouses ate light at Wendy's.

Teresa has stringy slobbery drool from her mouth to her straw the second time she removes the straw from her mouth.

I get the point...Frazier without the laugh track. About half of the Americans who vote cannot separate reality from fiction. Non-faith based reality quite often has no basis for true logic. Therefore, half of the country cannot see these constant elitist illustrations as an in-your-face insult.
If the Johns do in fact win through these tactics, they will have carte blanc over the weak minded voters that enabled them.Let's hope Bush calls a spade a spade.

I was telling my wife that many "blue collar" Democrat types really hold conservative views that are not in line with the Democrat platform. Most hard working blue collar types are pro-gun, pro-life, pro-marriage (man and woman) and strong on defense which is diametrically opposed to the union's party of choice.I am one of those hard working blue collar types (construction). Who happens to be in a union. I STRONGLY disagree with every polital view my union has.
A union buddy turned me on to FR a few years ago, and I love it, I spend many hours a week here.(though at times I wish it was a little more conservative). I also had another union buddy loan me Bias and turned me on to Dinesh D'souza.
so yes we are out there

These are .wmv files and work with the latest Window Media player. A couple people have had to update to view them. Sorry you can't see them, but they will be up for the duration of the election for your viewing pleasure.

I am starting to prefer getting my burgers (and steaks, of course) from a local restaurant (in Arizona) called Steaks 'R Us. The meals come with Hunt's ketchup packets.
