He's a Marxist and a cowardly liar.
The problem with Kerry is that he lives in Kerry-Land where he can promise everything to everybody... but when it comes time to write the checks he is going to find out that he is truly broke and he will do another nuance dance.
This is running alongside another thread on how Kerry is stomping Bush in PA because of domestic economic issues. I firmly believe Bush has PA locked up. Unless he doesn't.
btt
Kerry has a billionaire wife, a Gulfstream V, at least five mansions, a yacht and two $10000.00+ bicycles. So the bottom line is, he doesn't actually give a damn what the American people need or want.
Comrade Kerry scammin the coal miners
Well, he's not a Marxist; he's just a liberal. I certainly don't like the guy, but that kind of accusation is similar to when liberals like to call any conservative a "right-wing radical" that might as well join the KKK. Have you read "People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn? Or anything by Noam Chomsky? We shouldn't confuse those who are wrong with those who are fringe lunatics. I expect some responses on this one, so go for it; if Kerry really is a Marxist, I'd like to hear why -- and I mean that honestly, not rhetorically.
You are right. Kerry is no Marxist, he is just an opportunist. Also, this article is wishful thinking by the amateurs at Newsmax. This piece is no better at sticking to facts than something I would expect in Al Jazeera or the Guardian.
In Kerry Land
- Everyone agrees with everyone and takes no stand on anything.
- You have the right to choose if you live or die.
- you have the right to choose if your baby or grandparents live or die.
- Everyone is Middle Class the rich get taxed until they make as much as the middle class.
- Everyone works because we are a Utopian society.
- Everyone gets purple hearts and Silver Stars, Yellow moons and Green Clovers.
- The war in Iraq is fought by France and Germany.
- The military is transformed into a United Nations Peace Keeping Force.
- The Terrorists come to realize that we are a sensitive nation and we all sing kum-bah-yah while we hold hands in a global circle.
- We are energy independent with Wind Mills and Solar panels everywhere.
- Heinz is declared the National Ketchup.
More classic arithmetic from the Slimes.
Uh, hey, turkeys -- ever hear of a chap named Reagan? Lessee, here: 2000 - 1984 = 72, right?
Clearly LA public skool grajuwaits.
Oh, yes, and al-Qerry most certainly is a Marxist; read the last 30 pages of the Communist Manifesto and tell me which of the stated list of goals he has ever voted against. Except perhaps the direct abolition of private property (his, at any rate).
In all fairness to classical Marxism though, on further reflection, I think Jacques Querri is more of a "Soviet-style" communist in that he has no problem keeping all of the wealth for a small group of like-minded elites rather than turning it over to the proletariat.
"West Virginia which Bush won in 2000, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to win the state in 72 years."
Do your research a little better. WV went to Nixon in '72 and Reagan in '84.

Yeah, I know, see #'s 12 and 14. I assume it's NewsMax re-reporting the leftist dreams of the LA Times.
I realize this is facetious, and I'm not sure if I should take it seriously. But the only claims you make that have to do with Marxism are the following:
"- Everyone is Middle Class the rich get taxed until they make as much as the middle class.
- Everyone works because we are a Utopian society."
Kerry has never said #1, and both Bush and Kerry have said that everyone who wants a job should be able to find one. So I'm not sure if that answers my question.
Again, all I'm doing is trying to distinguish between liberals and true radicals; I don't think it makes sense to lump all of our opponents together.
The sicko environmentalists have captured the Democratic Party. The coal miners of PA, OH and WV should realize that the Democrats will not preserve coal mining jobs.
Actually the LA Slimes should have said that Bush was the first Republican non-incumbant to capture WV in 72 years.
"Oh, yes, and al-Qerry most certainly is a Marxist; read the last 30 pages of the Communist Manifesto and tell me which of the stated list of goals he has ever voted against. Except perhaps the direct abolition of private property (his, at any rate)."
First of all, abolition of private property is at the heart of proscriptive Marxism. (Most of Marx's material is simply a description and critique of capitalism.)
Second, please tell me which of the other goals have come up for a vote, and which Kerry voted for. Again, I mean this honestly, not rhetorically. (And remember that that doesn't negate the primacy of abolishing private property to Marxism.)
