No debate will happen - Corsi will be called an anti-semite and anti-catholic based on statements he made on here (fair or not) and in Mass. that is a death sentence for elective office.

Then let that be a lesson to you. If you ever plan to run for President, watch what you post on FR.

he plans to move to Massachusetts later this year as the first step in his 2008 campaign for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Kerry

Laughingstock alert. Love what Corsi did before, but this is dopey, and his candidacy will be ridiculed out of existence. Of course, he may try to raise money throughout the country, but until there are term limits, or the Grim Reaper gets off his ass, Kerry and Kennedy will continue to run, and continue to be reelected by "the state that has never failed to elect a Kennedy, no matter how many women they kill or rape."

See, Cacique.

I told you that those incendiary comments, posted to FreeRepublic, would doom your presidential exploratory committee.

[AuH2ORepublican]

Given that Governor Romney is unlikely to run against Kerry in the 2008 Senate race, Corsi would be as good a candidate as any. In ultraliberal Massachusetts, our only chance of beating Kerry is to let voters see that Kerry is a traitor to his country.

[adam_az]

Are you collecting funds for an exploratory campaign yet?

[Carling]

You're absolutely correct. There is no way this will work and it will also make Corsi's 'colorful' postings here on FR a national issue that could work to discredit the SwiftVets.

I don't like this at all. There have to be better candidates that would be willing to run on this platform. Corsi would get creamed and would also call attention to himself, which isn't the best of scenarios for the SwiftVets.

[MCHawking]

Once you moved here, you wouldn't want to leave. Boston is a jewel.

[traviskicks]

well heck, if he's not qualified to be president he shouldn't be qualified to be a senator. Especially on that Foreign Relations Committee!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SunkenCiv]

I'm sure it's already happened, but this will give it new life.

[GretchenM]

Must make Kerry wince at least a little bit knowing Corsi is going to be in the neighborhood and breathing down his neck.

I like that.

[William of Orange]

me too :-)

[CedarDave]

Then let that be a lesson to you. If you ever plan to run for President, watch what you post on FR.

At least don't use your real name!!

[CedarDave]

Kerry spokesman David Wade declined to comment, the Boston Herald said Tuesday, saying the senator was focused on his work.

Best laugh of the day!!

...ping
Just saw this...

[Seadog Bytes]

Thanks for the ping!

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks. :^D

bump!

[Ciexyz]

I will be most willing to contribute to Corsi's campaign.

[Ciexyz]

What did Corsi say that could be considered anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic? Please elaborate.

[Destro]

Please understand I am going from memory and speaking about how others may twist his words around. I will google up what is claimed he said - cool?
