Bush's personal charm, likability and resoluteness versus Kerry's French-looking aloofness, Boston Brahmin blue-bloodness and spineless flip-flopping. Hmmmmmm...
Bush wins another term, no doubt.
Don't see how this would even be close. Kerry, like Gore, acts as if he were made of wood. Bush is a regular guy and Laura is a classy First Lady. Tuh REZA is another Hillary.
Oh, I don't know. Haven't most regular American men married two wealthy wives, the second worth over half a billion dollars?
If somebody called me up, interrupted my day and asked me questions like this, I'd hang up on them.
I've done my fair share of complaining about the President. However, his 'regular guyness' for lack of a better term, is one of his greatest strengths. I doubt he'd spend an afternoon in bar with be drinking beer, I believe he *could*.
Kerry has such a 'don't you know who I am?' attitude that will probably turn off many potential voters.
However, many voters are led around by the nose, and I think the Bush campagin may be in trouble. I hope I'm wrong.
Kerry doesn't flip burgers, he nibbles on Froi Gras!
And this means... ? Yeah, Bush seems like a regular guy. Yeah, I'd rather have him as a neighbor. But, is that really a qualification for President of the United States?
I got it, let's just have them arm wrestle to see who gets to be President!
Not even a high-fiber diet can make Kerry a more regular guy.
This is only close because people haven't seen enough of Kerry. His friends in the media have been keeping hom out of the spotlight and only covering his words. This is going to be like Dukakis redux. Once people really get a load of Kerry they are going to run from him like the plague.
Who cares. Which of them thinks it's cool to put you out of work and send your job over to the chinese? Which of them thinks it's cool to tax the daylights out of you? They've both got their bad points and good. Kerry has more bad than good; but, I doubt we'll see any real debate in coming months.
Kerry needs to have a rectal exam.
Something must be shoved up there because he is so still stiff all the time.
I'm from Massachusetts and am now retired in Florida. I lived four blocks from John Kerry's manse.
During the administration of William Weld, the Republican governor of Massachusetts, the Boston Globe did a story on the Kerrys and the Welds. Weld, like Kerry, is a patrician.
The Globe's story reported on the differences between the Kerry's and the Welds.
When the Welds were invited to dinner, they, Mr and Mrs Weld, would help clear the table after eating and assist the hosts in the kitchen. They were real people.
The Kerrys, on the other hand, only lifted a finger to pick up the fork or the wine glass.
There is nothing democratic about John Kerry at all, end of story. But to be successful in politics in Massachusetts, you join the Democratic Party.
A simple list of Massachusetts' Democrat accomplishments:
Jerry Studds - Censured in the well of Congress for buggering Congressional pages who were minors.
Barney Franks - Inviting "hot buns" Gobey to live in his home, out of which Gobey ran a homosexual escort service.
Ted Kennedy - Mary Joe Kopechne, DOA.
John Kerry - The murder of a Viet Cong fighter.
