While voters know John Kerry for his sharp criticisms of President Bush and promises to repeal tax cuts for the wealthy, his brother sees an entirely different side of the Democratic presidential candidate.
Cam Kerry, brother of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, arrived on campus yesterday to tell students why the Massachusetts senator deserves to be the next president of the United States.
Beyond his stance on the issues, Cam Kerry told students of who his brother is as a person and why he is worthy of their vote.
“When I walk through a jungle, there is no one I would want to walk by my side more than my brother, John Kerry,” Cam Kerry said, referring to the senator’s service in the Vietnam War.
Cam Kerry expressed great pride when talking about his brother. “John is like ‘Seabiscuit’ … there is nobody better in a clutch,” Cam Kerry said.
The Kerry brothers were born into a politically active family. Their mother, Rosemary, was an ardent environmentalist, and their father, Richard, was a diplomat.
“(Richard Kerry) brought issues to the dinner table every night,” said Kathy Kerry, wife of Cam Kerry.
Although Cam Kerry is seven years younger than John, the Kerry brothers have always been close.
“John taught me to wrestle,” Cam Kerry said.
“I know his tender, sentimental side that I have seen him use with our parents and his daughters. That’s what people don’t get to see … I know what’s in his heart,” Kerry added.
Cam Kerry was not the only one to speak highly of the Democratic candidate.
Kathy Kerry said, “John is passionate about turning this country around … He is a builder.” An Oak Park native, Kathy Kerry attended the University for both her undergraduate and graduate education and said, “It’s wonderful to be home.”
Ann Arbor Mayor John Hieftje, also spoke on behalf of the senator. “Every one of us needs to work as hard as we can to win this election for John Kerry,” Hieftje said. “This is the most important election of my lifetime and maybe even your lifetime.”
Cam Kerry echoed these sentiments, saying the election was significant, “not just because it is my brother that’s running.”
However, discussion wasn’t exclusive to John Kerry. In regards to President Bush, Cam Kerry said, “Bush unleashed forces of chaos that we are going to have to contend with for years to come”.
“Let’s talk about flops … George W. Bush,” he added.
Kerry warned the audience of the urgency of the election. “You’ve got 40 days to put this country in the right direction,” he said.
Kerry spoke of his commitment to his brother’s political career.
“I’ve been through every election with John, and he has always come from behind,” he said. “We’ve got George Bush right where we want him.”
The University’s College Democrats sponsored the event that was held at the Michigan Union Ballroom.
He left out the hampster.

First I've heard of this. John Kerry is a war veteren?
My brother likes me too...guess I should run for President
I see the resemblance.
I agree...let's just keep him there until the election.
Cam Rhan Kerry
Have I missed something??
***Kerry Campaign's Criminal Start***
Good Lord!
I sure as hell wouldn't want him at my back.
I agree...let's just keep him there until the election.
LOL!!
Bump!
“When I walk through a jungle, I'm reminded of Vietnam and of my secret CIA hat and of Christmas in Cambodia and of rice in my ass....."
"Meanwhile their sister is undermining our relationship with Australia..."
Kerry is also undermining our relationship with Iraq with his comments yesterday. He is only interested in what France thinks. He spent alot of time in France and I believe he feels he has more in common with the French than the average American. When he loses this election I expect he and Mama T will buy a villa in France and spend alot of time there.
“We’ve got George Bush right where we want him.”
So do we.....in the White House.....four more years!!!
Can anyone point to one single thing this man has ever built, created or made grow, other than a reputation as an opportunist and a gigolo?
Kathy Kerry said, “John is passionate about turning this country around …"
yeah....LEFT FULL RUDDER......
LOL!! "O.K. You asked for it. Don't make me slam my face into your fist again."
