Kerry hands Bush the big-buzz issues

John Kerry is running the dumbest presidential campaign in modern history. Don't misunderstand. Dumb is not the same as wrong. Kerry may be right on some of the issues. But that's not the point. Elections are about votes, and Kerry's campaign seems calculated to actually repel them.

Great read.

Kerry is the ultimate liberal...Arrogant, wishy-washy, no moral compass, socialist and anti-american...no wonder all the trump cards are in Bush's hands.

It is impossible to imagine Bill Clinton - or any competent politician - doing such a thing. It is only slightly more possible to imagine Kerry winning with the hand he has dealt himself.

It is impossible to imagine Bill Clinton doing such a thing to himself but it is impossible to imagine Bill Clinton (Carville, Begala, Lockhart, etc) not doing such a thing to John Kerry.

Even if I were a life-long Dim, I would have trouble supporting Kerry's positions.

Absolutely everything in the article is truth...and the Moore people that start paying attention to what the reality is the more popular the President becomes. Landslide in Nov.

I'm curious, what are the democRats going to blame this time for their loss?
In 2000 it was "stolen"
In 2002 "We didn't get our message out."
2004 ????

"Dumb is not the same as wrong. Kerry may be right on some of the issues. But that's not the point. Elections are about votes, and Kerry's campaign seems calculated to actually repel them."

The single issue ideologues of the extreme right could well heed this advice as well. Politics are about winning more votes than the other guy, not just about being right, and going home in a snit when the other guy wins.

"Five weeks out, Kerry has dealt Bush every trump card - God, family, low taxes, optimism and victory.

It is impossible to imagine Bill Clinton - or any competent politician - doing such a thing. It is only slightly more possible to imagine Kerry winning with the hand he has dealt himself."

Plus, he looks like a tard.

I agree, but I hope you are not suggesting that someone change their core principle beliefs to win votes?

John Kerry has abandoned his professed religious beliefs for political gain, thereby sacrificing any remaining claims of integrity or capacity to lead. Leaders are people who adhere to basic core principles, such as the right to life of unborn Americans, and persuade others, in this case, voters, to join in the adherence to those principles. If John Kerry is a Catholic, he has departed from the principles of Catholicism and, in this observer's view, Christianity, in pursuit of political power. Through his actions, John Kerry has shown himself to be a victim of self-deception, a lost soul for whom God is a stranger and for whom this observer feels pity.

>>Dumb is not the same as wrong. Kerry may be right on some of the issues<<<<<

The author says dumb is not the same as wrong. but in Kerry's case I think maybe it is, This story says Dumb isnt the same as being wrong, but the story doesnt state one point where Kerry isnt wrong. And Dumb.

1. Bush lied and misled the voters. He didn't tell the truth to the American people. (in other words, do another stupid thing - blame the voters)

2. The vote was suppressed and moinorities didn't come to the polls. It was the devisive antics of the Bush administration/campaign that split this country. Bush was not a uniter, he was a divider.

3. We Didn't Get Our Message Out - Part II.

Okay, from now on it will be Freeper protocol to grade every picture posted of Senator Doofus. The Doofus Factor will be scaled from 1-10. The bunny suit had to be a 10. The squating soccerball header attempt was probably an 8.
