Not quite so. At one time, when he was pandering to northeast peaceniks and before he was trying to trick the whole nation into voting for him, he wrote down exactly what he stood for. Take a look.

AGREED! The media has set it up for that outcome, with the inflated "bump" by oversampling of Republicans. They want this to be a great comeback from behind victory. Do NOT get lulled into this.
I understand that these articles are probably intended somewhat to have the effect of suppressing the opposition vote (make it look like its 'Game over man!'), but on the other hand, they can make OUR side get complacent, we MUST NOT.
They are idiots, but they are dangerous idiots.
Need to fight like we're 10 points behind.
Besides, they cheat, lie, and use every underhanded trick in the book.
Check out the John F. Kerry Timeline. Email it to your friends.

And Kerry has to keep it that way, THAT is his real problem.
The problem is he always says these things to adoring, approving audiences and never ventures far enough into flyover country to realize that this kind of preaching-to-the-converted rhetoric goes nowhere with most people. That and the average American isn't going to accept such rhetorical jabs at face value without some substantiation, which Kerry has offered none.
Add to that the cognitive disconnect from what Kerry says (the worst economy since the Great Depression) and the reality surrounding Joe Average (home ownership is up, interest rates are low, unemployment is low) and it's enough to dismiss the man as an out of touch East Coast lefty who is only running for the Presidency because he feels entitled to it.
I don't know which would be worse, watching Kerry at stump speaches or watching Michael Moore do jumping jacks. A horrifying thought.
However, I would disagree with one point... Michael Moore doing jumping jacks just might very well register significantly on the Richter scale.
Of course there's a difference. One was an adult who put himself in harm's way, while the other is a blameless, defenseless baby.
I assume you meant Kennedy, not FDR. And in that case, Kennedy had something else Kerry doesn't have, charm and personality.
No, I meant FDR. Kennedy cut taxes and increased military spending. The only other 2 people to do that since then are Reagan and Dubya. People forget that Kennedy also campaigned as an anti-communist.
