Obama-Kerry?

Obama-Kerry?

Editorial of The New York Sun June 17, 2008

The news that Senator Kerry's name is on a list of potential running mates that Senator Obama is circulating on Capitol Hill, according to NBC News, was enough to get our attention. Maybe they meant the president of the New School, Robert Kerrey? Both men are decorated combat veterans of Vietnam that would bring Mr. Obama some of the national security heft he is apparently seeking in a vice presidential candidate. No, according to a report in yesterday's New York Times, "During the course of two long dinners at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington this year and last, Mr. Obama sought the advice of Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts."

Ah, the Democrats, the party of the working man, where the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, lives in the Ritz-Carlton, and when the party's two presidential nominees want to go out for dinner, they do it not over beer and burgers or Chinese food, but at the Four Seasons Hotel, where the dinner menu includes foie gras and a vodka-caviar gelée. What did they talk about? Whether Mr. Kerry's Yale education was better than the one Mr. Obama got at Columbia and Harvard Law School? How Mr. Kerry dealt with the National Journal ranking as America's most liberal senator, a mantle that was later assumed by Mr. Obama? How Mr. Obama can end the Iraq War with the same sort of retreat that Mr. Kerry precipitated in Vietnam? How Mr. Kerry's alienation from Catholicism over abortion rights is similar to Mr. Obama's problem with Trinity United?

Nothing like keeping it in the stinking Senate.

Obama is Kerry with a better tan. It is of ultimate importance to remember why we worked so hard to defeat Kerry in '04.

Read the following, because it is the ultimate goal of the Soros/Kerry/Gore/Obamarxists. And don't ever forget the term "Transnational Progressives."

With Obama's excellent judgment, I would say we stand a chance.

Looks like Senator Kerry may have just found a way into the White House after all. What we have on him regarding his military service isn’t going to matter one iota to Obama fans.

Anyone remember what Kerry’s position was on gay marriage? McCain staffer says McCain’s is the same.

From the article: [Kerry] a decorated combat veteran of Vietnam that
would bring Mr. Obama some of the national security heft he is apparently
seeking in a vice presidential candidate.

Yeah! Right! No doubt about it!

Kerry is up for re-election in MA and can’t run for both offices (Sen & VP) at same time but who knows.

Have yourself a Kerry little Christmas
Cozy all the way
While the seat of power is so far away
You’ll be just one more lib in the Senate
Thanks to W
You won’t live on Pennsylvania Ave.

Ketchup heiress has lots of dough
Lots and lots of dough, to spend
It won’t buy you the White House though
For the voters know, my friend

Mondale, Gore, and also Mike Dukakis
Know just how you feel
When you’re seen, you just don’t have any appeal
So have yourself a Kerry little Christmas, now


(Bee Gees tune)
He is going back to Massachusetts
Couldn’t win the White House if he tried
And they still love him back in Massachusetts
They voted for him, through all those times he lied
Got a lot of votes in San Francisco
New York and LA, they loved him too
But he’s still going back to Massachusetts
The Swift Boat hero made Democrats so blue
(both song parodies by me)
