NO HIDING

As his long record on national security shows, Sen. John Kerry is no John Heinz.

John Heinz is everywhere yet nowhere in the race for Pennsylvania's electoral votes. Taken by tragedy in a horrific plane crash 13 years ago, the memory of the U.S. senator who was my boss is daily invoked by the presense of his widow and sons as the second family of the Democratic nominee, Sen. John F. Kerry.

Written by a senior aide to Sen. Heinz and comparing the voting record of Kerry to Heinz, highlighting the fact that even though Heinz was not a conservative, he was the mirror opposite of Kerry on issues of national security and calling into question the use of Ronald Regan's name by Kerry.

I don't read this commie rag and never would have seen this except that a friend clipped and mailed the editorial to me. Since lots of people on FR (and lots of PA people) don't remember much about Heinz, I thought it might be worth posting. I hope I did this correctly.

You done fine. Now, if we could only get this to every voter in Pennsylvania...

The article states: "One last time in their six-year debate over national security, John Heinz got it right and John Kerry got it wrong".

The saddest part of this story is that John Kerry is financing his skewed vision for America with the late Senator John Heinz' fortune. How despicable! Soooo John Kerry.

Thank you for this post.

Rendell's despicable effort to disallow extra time for the military ballots and his effort to allow prisoners to vote will do more for Dubya than this aricle about John Heinz.

very good article - particularly the highlighting of Kerry's stance on Nicaragua and the similarity with all the exact same naive foolishness he espouses today about Iraq and the WOT.

I didn't know John Heinz. But I do know that John Kerry is no where near the same man.
