Kerry Disowns His SUVs; NewsMax Has the Photos

See the photo of SUV hypocrite Kerry. And check out this humongous one.

Just like many fake self-professed "environmentalists" we know, Sen. John Kerry loves to tool around in the SUVs he'd like to deny his fellow Americans. But now he's blaming his gas guzzlers on others, even the missus.

"I don't own an SUV," Kerry claimed Thursday in Houston when a reporter ruined the senator's holiest of holy days, "Earth Day," by asking whether he owned a Chevy Suburban.

The Associated Press reported today: "Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV."

The Massachusetts Democrat claimed: "The family has it. I don't have it."

Kerry, by the way, also gets to blame his better half for owning most of those awful energy-guzzling mansions he enjoys roosting in.

"KERRY IS LYING!!!! LOOK AT THE PURPLE HEART LICENSE PLATE!!!!!"

HMMMMM
You think so?

[mnehring]

Dodge 600 he says. I did not recall what a Dodge 600 looked like so I did a little searching on Google and found what a Dodge 600 was: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~belleau/600pg3.jpg So, limo riding Kerry likes to jump into his 80s Lebaron-esque beater when ever he needs to get out? (-which probably gets worse gas mileage than his wife's SUV because of its age-) Also, how many of his cars are made in the US. A lot of Chrysler vehicles are made in Canada, and isn't Chrysler owned by a German company?

I like it. Any move away from the little rice burners....lol
Waht would be a good looking car for you? Have you seen the new Mustang design?

[Reactionary]

You're right. It does look like a Purple Heart license plate.

Good eyes.

I'm disappointed! He's not drinking EVIAN (post # 6)

The license plate on the SUV picture here are not Federal Government Plates.

My computer has fuzzy details due to a speed up program. However, that license plate on the Suburban looks like a Mass plate.

Can anyone with a clear picture enlarge the plates for us?

I was wondering if John Forbes Kerry's nice fuel guzzling power craft(boat) is owned by the Secret Service? What about fuel and electric use for 4 or 5 homes? Methinks Kerry is a piggy consumer and a pretender. We all should have several homes, boat, vehicles and give talks on fuel economy and gas guzzling. I want Kerry and his boneheaded staffers to tell me how we need to conserve........BS candidate for sure

I have a Firebird and a Camaro right now, both '91s, and am extremely pissed that neither one is made anymore. I like the Mustang and the Crown Vic / Grand Marquis (V-8, RWD) but I'm too old for one and too young for the other.

Here's a 300 I could get into:

Here is the article from February where Kerry claimed he owned all those vehicles.... SUVs, Minivans, Suburban

I remember those!

I had a plymouth with those wonderful tail fins!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Are we talking about this photo?

That doesn't look like a Government issued plate to me!

[cinFLA]

"At the recent anti-energy-independence rally, "behind the scenes, Senator Kerry and his so-called 'environmental' friends arrive at the event in limousines and SUVs, which average a mere 13 mpg in the city - 40 percent to 60 percent less fuel efficient than the average automobile's city performance," CREA observes on its Web site."

O'Reilly used to rant against SUVs about once a week. That is, until he proudly showed the films of his arrival in a limosine at a Las Vegas speaking engagement. Not a peep since!

Thank you:

Q: What kind of vehicles does your family drive?

A: We have some SUVs. We have a Jeep. We have a couple of Chrysler minivans. We have a PT Cruiser up in Boston. I have an old Dodge 600 that I keep in the Senate. ... We also have a Chevy, a big Suburban.

[Grampa Dave]

That is the photo, and I believe that is a Mass License Plate.

I have the speed up program on MSN and even when it is disabled the photos are crummy.

We need someone to blow up and clarify that picture.

You must be at least 80?

Love it. Let's see him get hounded until he's driving some little Asian or European rollerskate. Perfect.

Next.........wanna see his PC ass hounded for the clothing he wears; obviously made by slave labor. Let's see him wear sack cloth in penance.

Next.................his diet...................

Kerry wants to be the Kim Jong-Il of America.

Thanks this is a great find:

Kerry: 'I can beat George Bush'

Democratic candidates address issues before caucus vote

John Kerry is a four-term senator from Massachusetts.

Q: What can you do for Democratic voters in Michigan?

A: First, I can beat George Bush. I’m the only candidate in the Democratic field who has a 35-year measurable record of accomplishments.

With respect to Michigan, Michigan is under assault in terms of manufacturing jobs, as are many other parts of the country. I think we need to make the trade relationship more sensible, balanced, fairer. I also think we need to encourage manufacturing in America. I also have a health care plan that is the only health care plan of any presidential candidate that actually lowers the cost of health care for people who have it today in the workplace. The way I do it is by creating a federal fund that takes all the catastrophic cases out of your risk pool, so you’re no longer carrying that burden. So your premiums will go down, your co-pay will go down.

Q: Do you want to redo the North American Free Trade Agreement?

A: I have said I’m going to create a panel of trade experts who have no vested interest in the system to do a 120-day review of all our current trade agreements to see where they are out of whack and out of balance with respect to the openness of markets, currency manipulation, the violation of intellectual property laws and the structural problems within the World Trade Organization.

Q: In 2002, you co-sponsored legislation to raise the fuel economy standards for trucks and SUVs to 36 miles per gallon by 2015, up from the current 20.7. How would this help the auto industry increase jobs?

A: Setting mandatory fuel economy standards has been used for the purpose of trying to safeguard our future environment. I support improvements in those standards, but I’m not locked into a particular number of miles per gallon or a particular formula. I’d be crazy if I want to set up a structure that’s going to automatically lose us jobs.

Q: What kind of vehicles does your family drive?

A: We have some SUVs. We have a Jeep. We have a couple of Chrysler minivans. We have a PT Cruiser up in Boston. I have an old Dodge 600 that I keep in the Senate. ... We also have a Chevy, a big Suburban.
