"Unfit For Command" Author Considers Challenging Kerry in Senate Race
NEWSMAX.COM ^ | 11/29/2004 | Newsmax

Posted on 11/27/2004 8:42:07 AM PST by kellynla

John Kerry's nightmarish challenge by his Swift Boat veterans and their allies may not be over.

NewsMax recently chatted with Jerry Corsi, the co-author with Swiftee John O'Neill of "Unfit for Command" – the runaway New York Times best seller that torpedoed Kerry's presidential campaign.

Attending a conference in the suburbs of Washington recently, Corsi let it be known that he is actively considering a run against Sen. Kerry when his term is up.

Corsi is not a Massachusetts native, but says he has already scouted for property to declare his residence there.

He appeared excited about the challenge. Federal law allows him to declare his candidacy at any time and open up a full fusillade against the Senate's most liberal member.

Corsi thinks his criticisms of Kerry will be well received in the state that elected Republican Mitt Romney. Even Bush fared better in Massachusetts in 2004 against its home state candidate than he did against Gore in 2000.

Corsi also notes that his Italian-Irish ancestry will give him an edge in a state given to ethnic voting. Kerry is neither Irish nor Italian, Corsi notes.

As word has circulated about a possible candidacy, Corsi says he has been flooded with e-mails of support.

Corsi said he has read news reports that Kerry is considering a lawsuit against him, O'Neill and the Swift Boat Vets.

Presumably the suit would be for defamation. The New York Post's Page Six quoted a top aide to Kerry saying the senator would need to file such a suit if he has any prayer of making a presidential bid in 2008. Incredibly, Kerry is said to be considering such a run.

Corsi said he and O'Neill have discussed the possibility of the lawsuit, and both said they might offer to pay Kerry for the FedEx charges to serve them with any court papers.

"Quote me: Bring it on!" Corsi said with a chuckle.

And he rarely shows up in the Senate. The jack-ass seems to spend most of his waking hours playing, not working.

If Corsi runs against The Traitor, the so called MSM could not cover up everything like they did in this election. Kerry would at the very least, be bloodied up and disgraced!

The discovery threat would probably keep him from filing.

O'Neill is not really a Conservative Republican, is he? He admitted himself that he has voted for Democrats in the past, and nobody knows what his take is on various issues.

The sense I have about him is that he's a Liberman type candidate who could probably snatch the Senatorial seat from kerry with ease. And considering his efforts in saving the Country from Kerry, that would be the best way to say 'thank you!'

...I don't think Massachusetts will elect a conservative Republican to the U.S Senate.

You are probably right. We did come close to electing Bill Weld, but he wasn't exactly a conservative. :) Although George W did get 37 1/2% of the popular vote here in MA! Didn't Bill Clinton win a presidential election with only 43%? So all things are possible! There is a deep unrest among at least 37 1/2% of the citizens here. That's a start.

What I'd really enjoy seeing is keeping a continued pressure on Kerry to release all those documents. The MSM gave him a total pass on those unreleased doc's. His signature on Standard Form 180 would clear up all this mess about his "honorable" military service, his discharge, his medals and his "wounds," and of course, his post war activities.

Since he made that Vietnam boasting opening statement; "Reporting for Duty" he has done nothing but obfuscate the release of ANY documents that'd help us evaluate his legitimacy for that kind of "Duty".

So by all means: "Bring it on! Jerry Corsi!"
