Hi Tacis,
This is my first posting on Freerepublic. My sister Jane told me my column was posted on the site. This is exciting for someone living in Lovell, Maine, population 998.
I think Kerry went to Boston College Law School because it's kind of an "Irish Harvard." Kerry is astute enough to know that it helps to be perceived as Irish to get ahead in politics in the Bay State. He was just coming off a loss in the 5th district after everyone thought he was a shoe-in. The primary was thought to be the big contest back then. He won that in June and was cruising, only to be beaten in November by a Nixon Republican from nowhere. He had to re-group and pay his dues. That's why he did the Assistant DA thing with John Droney the DA, an old Irish Pol. He attended the St. Patrick's Day Breakfasts on Southie and tried to tell jokes. He ran for Lieutenant Governor, etc. Now he's in our faces every day. I sure hope he loses, because I won't be able to stand looking at him for four years.
Hope this helps.
Tom
Hi Tom,
Thanks for writing this, and a warm welcome to FreeRepublic.
(from a former Dem as well - but no more!)
Welcome to FR! Don't worry, won't be seeing much of him after early November...
A warm welcome to FR -- hope you stick around!
Welcome! Nice to see you here.
Oh, Mo, if the unthinkable were to happen......*shudder*.........those who get their news strictly from the MSM and public TV would have an unpleasant surprise when they see this despicable elitest in action, wouldn't they? Although you can see it and read it in his aloof reactions on the campaign trail, if you are "tuned in".
