Conflicted Kerry Can't Carry Electorate

I think the presidential election will ultimately turn on which of the candidates the public trusts more, particularly because we are at war. For any number of reasons, that does not bode well for Sen. Kerry.

And that is why Kerry told that contrived story about his mom saying "integrity." That word was also on Hillary's lips. This is no "accident"--polling shows that while people think Kerry is clearly a good debater, they still don't really trust him.

[conservativepoet]

After his ridiculous comment about Mary Cheney, the public will trust him even less.

[Noachian]

..."he can run, but he can't hide"...

Or, put another way "He can hide, but not run."

This is what Kerry should have done before the average American got to know his history.

If he had of stayed a low-profile Senator none of his background would have come to light, but like all liberals his ego got bigger than his brain. Now he's villified by a host of people who would like nothing better than to see him dismissed from the Senate.

I have to admit, as a voter from Massachusetts, I'm getting a little weary of hearing repeated slurs against my home state. Massachusetts has significant numbers of fiscal and political conservatives, so can it.

Massachusetts is also the home of Franklin, Adams, Adams, Adams and Adams, Holmes. Betsy Ross, John Hancock and a gaggle of patriots longer and more honorable than any other state in the union. Massachusetts is where the American Revolution started, and without Massachusetts' allegedly liberal history none of you would even have one.

I notice many southerners like to point an accusing finger at my home state, but they had best be very careful with this bad behavior around me. I collect heads.

Why on earth do you keep electing that perverted Ted Kennedy? No wonder there are slurs. A blind man can see he is nothing but a drunken fool.

[austinaero]

Now, I have to point out your rhetoric has an edge of "threat" to it..matches Senator Kerry's pretty closely.

He represents your state. I have friends from/in Mass. I have friends from/in California. I can understand anyone feeling they have to defend the state they live in. However, it's a free country and people can say what they want.

It's just interesting you choose to go the route of "you better stop or else".....kind of echos Senator Kerry's attitude. I guess because the two of you are from Mass, that doesn't mean everyone in Mass. tries to use that tone....that's what you're saying in a round about way, right?

[harpo11]

Yep, he is conflicted. But, he is more than conflicted.
He is darned confusing.

He is like a coin. Heads and tails. Whichever he is tossed he lands until the next toss.

Mathematical odds are that he will change his mind, view, opinion, plan, policy, idea , stance, hairdo, menu, at least 50% of the time.

In the time Americans are at War
we cannot afford indecision.

We cannot allow casting our fates to the wind.

Americans need a steadfast, resolute, determined leader.

If a man has a hard time deciding which wrinkle on his face needs botox.

He is not the man to lead America to Victory over Terrorists.

Our President has gained a lot of wrinkles and grey hair since he took the office of the presidency January 2001. But one thing has never changed is President Bush's character and bold unwavering leadership.

Senator Kerry ever changing ideas makes a spinning top look lethargic.

[Soul Seeker]

And I live in WA, home of Senator Murray that praised the Taliban and Baghdad McDermott.

MASS is a liberal state. So is WA.

I love my state, but I don't take the hits too personally because reality gives them credibility. MASS does get some Kudos, you know. The Patriots and your Governor have had some praise. But you have to take the good with the bad.

And we can be sure of one thing: If Kerry loses the election, his career will fall on the dung heap of politics. Democrats bury their political dead -- and never give them a chance at national prominence again.

I think the presidential election will ultimately turn on the fraud the dems are commiting.

Integrity. Integrity. Integrity.

Welcome to FR

(With your attitude I doubt you'll last very long here)

Let me climb on your back and stick it to Viking ! *S*

I have spent too much time in and around Mass. As far as I am concerned, the state deserves both Kerry and Kennedy !! To he@@ with the Bay State -- and those flaming libs that have run it for decades!! This is not 1776 !!

[FierceDraka]

Massachusetts is also the home of Franklin, Adams, Adams, Adams and Adams, Holmes. Betsy Ross, John Hancock and a gaggle of patriots longer and more honorable than any other state in the union.

And France once produced Men like Charlemagne, Charles "The Hammer" Martel and Lafayette. Times change.

Boston was the cradle of the Revolution - over a 2 cent tax on tea. Now, all we hear from Boston is "more taxes, more government control, less liberty", and the universities therein have become heavily entrenched bastions of communism.

It's not the geographical location, it's the nature of the people inhabiting it.

[T. Buzzard Trueblood]

He claims to be a fiscal hawk, but he lacks the courage to tackle entitlements, and his spending proposals on health care and education alone would send the deficit into the stratosphere.

John Kerry as fiscal hawk is one of the sillier notions of this election cycle. Nobody believes that b.s., not even his own people.
