Saving John Kerry

CBS News ^ | Nov. 14, 2004 | Jonathan V. Last, The Weekly Standard

[Just mythoughts]

"And let's not forget his résumé: volunteered for service in Vietnam, saw combat, served as a prosecutor and then for two decades as a United States senator. In many ways, Kerry was a better candidate than Bush."

LOL Vietnam Warlord had no case to prosecute against President Bush, even with the Soros's and 'fatboy' propaganda tools. JFKerry's status of senator was nothing more than a title of nobility.

[samtheman]

His supposed strength was that he could connect with Southerners, but forget carrying his home state: Edwards couldn't even carry his home precinct. Never has so large a reputation been created by so little actual success.

LOL!

The new wave to go for Kerry's throat is the biased MSM trying to take the heat off themselves. Their obvious anti-Bush champaign is what sent Bush over the top. Americans don't like foreigners or Hollywood MMs or snotty, know-it-all journalists telling them they are stupid and can't think for themselves. The MSM woke up the sleeping American conscious with their deception.

"...Was Kerry A Bad Candidate? No......"

Lawd allmighty, they are STILL IN DENIAL!!!!

[johnny7]

John Kerry was a fraud, a phony and a traitor

Of course he was!

Mr. Last, I believe, is spinning it the way the Democrat Party will spin it... as soon as they put down the bottle and $hit-shave-shower.

The Party's choices are limited to two. Either throw the radicals to the back-of-the-bus(or better yet... off!) or change their name to the 'Progressive Party'. That's it!

A party that embraces Michael Moore as well as Joe Lieberman is not a viable political party.

[John Thornton]

Does anyone have the vote count from Edwards's home precinct and home county?

[TomGuy]

This article is nothing but suppositional 'if-ery'.

If, if, if....

Kerry's problem was twofold: the message and the messenger.

His message was muddled, rambling, incoherent, shallow, unclear flip-flops on nearly every issue.

He, as messenger, was muddled, rambling, incoherent, shallow, an unclear flip-flopper on nearly every issue.

Thank you for succinctly saying what I was trying to articulate.

You said it right.

[Phlap]

Kerry was the worst candidate the dems had except for all the rest.

This writer, Maureen Dowd, and a host of other dems are still angry about the 2000 election. Get over it!

[Sociopathocracy]

They're doing a good man disservice. And they're not doing the Democratic party any favors going forward.

This is not a good man. And, these punks are doing a great service to the GOP by continuing along the same socialist path.

BTW, has anything else come up about Kerry's "honorable" discharge?

[JackSplatt]

This article should be renamed, "Lying for the liar"
This shouldn't be posted here, we don't need kerry promotions

Give the writer a break. This post is fairly insightful into a different way of looking at the election - and even has some valid observations.

[albee]

And he did get 57 million votes. That proves how good he was..."

And he still LOST!

As Arnold would say, ""Dot Kerry guy.....he is a LOOSAH!

[MrMarbles]

Amen. Could not have said it better!

Insightful with a few small details left out..The MSMs part in it!!!!

[pepperspray]

His inability to make a decision coupled with his time wasting micro-managerial style rendered him ineligible to be commander in chief. If one cannot believe that, read November 15th Newsweek-frightening stuff. Thank G-d this man did not win.

[Earthdweller]

Ditto.

[xtinct]

And let's not forget his résumé: [anti-war protestor at Yale]

volunteered for service in Vietnam after 4 deferments and a turn-down deferment on Paris [to re-enact battle scenes with his 8 milometer for the purposes of future political aspirations]

saw combat while running away; killed a fleeing unarmed teen [unintential, self-inflicted wound],

[returned home - lied under oath before congress; ruined the reputations of 5 million Vietnam Vets; led a group that wanted to kill senators

[was not accepted to Harvard Law - pesky concern about that dishonorable discharge preventing him from being admitted to the bar]

[earned his law degree from BC - must have got a favor to be able to take the bar]

served as a prosecutor

and then for two decades as a United States senator.[his sad record speaks for itself]

In many ways, Kerry was a better candidate than Bush.

[When did Bush ruin the reputations of 5 million vets or kill an un-armed teenage?]

Finally, the MSM is still in denial about the roll in Kerry's demise. Presenting two sides of a story is important especially when ALL of the baby boomers - the largest demographic in this country - knows ALL about John Kerry. They were there in the early 70s.

[Oztrich Boy]

Never has so large a reputation been created by so little actual success.

But if that wasn't the case everybody would have been saying "wouldn't Edwards be a more obvious Presisential choice than John Kerry?"

[Eric in the Ozarks]

A few, maybe, but I don't see George Soros' name anywhere in the piece. If anything, there were perhaps five different John Kerrys running at different times in the campaign. Even the Libs had a hard time figuring out who he was.
