Kerry would be a terrible president...and I think most Americans will recognize that.

..."I think people who go to the Supreme Court ought to interpret the Constitution as it is interpreted...

More proof that the left cannot advance their pathetic agenda without stacked courts.

I'll take it one step further. From what I've learned about him recently, he must be a terrible senator.

If you think that's strange..

He also said Dubya has "failed" in foreign policy and that he would restore the damaged relations with massive aid handouts and by implementing harsh environmental measures here in the US..

But, it's not all bad though, because he promised to do it in such a way that wouldn't comprimise our right to defend ourselves.

(And before you ask, the answer is no. It didn't make a bit more sense when he said it then it just did when you read it.)

"I think people who go to the Supreme Court ought to interpret the Constitution as it is interpreted, and if they have another point of view, then they're not supporting the Constitution, which is what a judge does," Kerry said.

Kerry's attempt at Clinton doublespeak has failed miserably.

I have a litmus test for liberals. Put groups of them in a windowless room. Hook up a car exhaust to the air vents. Whoever turns blue has passed the litmus test.

Kerry's attempt at Clinton doublespeak has failed miserably.

I would love to see him in a debate with a real smart aleck like Gary Bauer. (and I like Gary Bauer very much, but he can be pretty ruthless when he wants to be..)

Kerry would lock himself in the closet and shake for a week straight afterwards.

Kerry may be trying to get attention with his controversial comments but he is just one of the many NARAL Dem candidates for President. The man-hating women of NARAL and NOW pull the strings and preapproved words come out of their little puppet mouths.

When John F. Kerry is called a "war hero" it sickens me. If he threw "his" medals away in protest, he no longer deserves the honor they represented.

Isn't it amazing how this "little" fact is always omitted from news reports on this Vietnam "hero".?!

[fporretto]

"Litmus tests" have always been a bizarre notion. What's in the Constitution is quite plain and clear, despite the attempts of leftist judges to interpret their personal fantasies into it.

My own question for a prospective federal jurist would be as follows:

Sir, are you willing to swear before God and the American people that you will honor the exact words of the Constitution of the United States as they are written, and without prejudice toward anyone's notions about their "penumbras" or "emanations," including those expressed in prior Supreme Court decisions?

A "yes" answer to that is all the "litmus test" I'd require.

""I think people who go to the Supreme Court ought to interpret the Constitution as it is interpreted, and if they have another point of view, then they're not supporting the Constitution, which is what a judge does," Kerry said.

This comment says alot. According to Kerry, no Supreme Court judge would be allowed to have an opposing viewpoint on any issue. He/she would have to vote lock-step with every other judge. Under those circumstances, why even have a Supreme Court. A little dictatorial on Kerry's part don't 'ya think? This only goes to show that any Kerry Presidency would be a regime...very controlling, and without support for the Constitution.

[Dutch Boy]

The left claims the right is closed minded. I think Kerry goes a long way to show this to be false. How close minded can you be to select a person based on a single criteria? Keep talk dems.... if you need a bigger shovel to dig that hole, just let us know.

Highest bidder for one of his autographed pictures gets you the post! Kerry donates pic of himself

[Timesink]

Kerry is beyond repair. Between his "regime change" spewage and this cute little promise to his hate base, he has ZERO chance of ever winning.

He's going to give them a plate of fries and then see whether they choose red or blue ketchup.

"When John F. Kerry is called a "war hero" it sickens me. If he threw "his" medals away in protest, he no longer deserves the honor they represented."

Here is an excerpt from an online article: "The Disgrace of John Kerry" posted by Kevin Willmann.

At a 1971 anti-war protest, some Vietnam veterans put their medals on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in protest of the war. Kerry threw his two Purple Hearts on the steps of the Capitol and then said, ''This administration forced us to return our medals...These leaders denied us the integrity those symbols supposedly gave our lives.'' However, several years later, a reporter noticed Kerry’s Purple Hearts on his office wall. He admitted that the medals he threw on the steps were not his own, but instead were given to him by two other men."
