Kerry woos Ohio voters in Bush-dominated areas "I'm not a liberal" (buys hunting license)

At the Wakefield rally, Kerry was given a 12-gauge shotgun and told the crowd he would "balance the rights and responsibilities" of gun owners.

In other words: Inner city Kerry supporters will be allowed to possess guns for murder and mayhem. Law abiding Bush supporters will be systematically disarmed and incarcerated for defending themselves from said inner city Kerry supporters.

As the campaign rushed toward Election Day with an ever more negative tone, Kerry opened a new front in his attack, blaming the Bush administration for the flu-vaccine shortage, saying it ignored three warnings of an impending flu crisis from government agencies and health experts dating to 2001.

Heck, if they can cure paralysis, don't tell me they can't cure us all of the flu! What's the big deal?

[marktwain]

Is Kerry left handed? He is holding that shotgun the way a left handed person would.

Every time I see him holding a gun, it seems awkward, unfamiliar, just "not right".

I have handled all kinds of guns for 40 years, and the body language of Kerry with a gun just doesn't look as if he is familiar with guns or with handling them.

[T'wit]

Reminds ME of a wire story a few years ago about a female state trooper in a southern state who caught a guy in the act of debauching a pumpkin in a field. She was very polite about it. "Sir, do you know that you are making love to a pumpkin?" The guy gave it his best shot: "Oh! Is it after midnight?" "Nice try," she said, and arrested him.

If I can dig it out of my files, I'll post the story.

Hildebeaste Clinton needs to come clean (Ha! Like that will happen!) over her role in running vaccine makers out of business, leading us to the current shortage. I'm still waiting for a reporter to ask Kerry about that the next time he accuses Bush of causing it.

This is a flat LIE!!! XENIA IS NOT "BUSH COUNTRY." It is a poor, mostly DEM part of Dayton. If Kerry were in "Bush Country," he would be campaigning in WARREN COUNTY or in Cincinnati!!!!!! I agree. I want Kerry to visit Over The Rhine on Thursday and have the papers call it 'One of Bush's strongholds...'. Either the reporters are idiots or they think we are.

"I am not a liberal," Kerry said. "I’m a moderate, thoughtful, practical person who looks for solutions."

The choir boy for Ted Kennedy is hardly a moderate folks, his voting record in the senate proves that!

JOHN FORBES KERRY IS A LIBERAL/SOCIALIST WHO IS AND DID LIE TO HIS COUNTRYMEN.

and IS LYING NOW!

[LS]

I want to qualify this: northern Greene County is GOP, but Xenia is not. If Kerry is out in the farmland, he might be trolling for crossovers, but my sense is he was in Xenia.

The "get me a hunting license" thing is surreal. Is he auditioning for "The Beverly Hillbillies" or what?

Well, ya' gotz to talk down to those folks out in the country, doncha' know?

[sweetiepiezer]

"I am not a liberal," Kerry said. "I’m a moderate, thoughtful, practical person who looks for solutions."


What is very scary is that people will believe him.

They believed every lie that Clinton said and were we not shocked when that lying Clinton won.

Be afraid people, be very afraid.

Pray for George, pray very hard.

Call your local Republican Party and see what you can do to help, before it is too late.

Wouldn't that be a hoot if he was busted for not having a stamp?

Considering that he could have purchased the license on-line, I expect another photo-op when he trudges to the PO for his ''dat dare duck stamp''. (But yes, it would be a hoot. I posted the info so Freeper would be reminded to keep their ears up!)

[elli1]

He plunked down $140 in cash for a nonresident Ohio hunting license CASH ????????? Who hauls wads of cash around anymore?

Would you take a check from this guy?

Kerry takes steps to unbutton his emotions - Among aides, personal side seen as lacking

***...At one point last winter, Kerry once said he could "dumb down" his language, speak more plainly, but he thought voters would sense the phoniness and punish him for it. So he has tried to connect in other ways. At two rallies in Wisconsin on Friday night, he went for empathy as he told the story of an out-of-work Ohio father who had said he had lost his pride by relying on others to buy his daughter a dress for her first homecoming dance. Voters also enthusiastically applaud his most optimistic lines, like "let America be America again" and "hope is on the way," but his public sense of humor -- about unemployed Elvises or Bush's middle initial standing for "wrong" -- often falls flat, if laughter is the measure.....***

He plunked down $140 in cash for a nonresident Ohio hunting license so he can go duck hunting in the Mahoning Valley when he returns to the state Thursday. At the Wakefield rally, Kerry was given a 12-gauge shotgun and told the crowd he would "balance the rights and responsibilities" of gun owners.

Incredibly arrogant considering that the authors of the 2nd Amendment already balanced these rights and responsibilities.

Sandra Frohman of the NRA said it best at the 2004 NRA Annaul Meeting when she said that John Kerry is the only man in America who "wears blaze orange as camaflouge".

It must cause John Kerry an awful amount of pain to watch Dubya out there, just being himself,
maybe slipping up grammatically at times, and still endearing himself to so many.

People like Kerry, i.e., insecure charlatans, can never comprehend why this is.
If he (Kerry) makes a verbal miscue one can just imagine the state of panic he and Mama T set into.
On the other hand, the two emotionally mature and mentally sound lovebirds who now occupy
our White House would just laugh about it.

"I am not a liberal, Kerry said. Im a moderate, thoughtful, practical person who looks for solutions."

^ Joke of the day folks! LOL!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Kerry isn't comfortable about who he is anymore than Algore was. They fear the people they are, aren't people we would elect. And that makes them weak, unreliable and skittish.

[Ann Archy]

Can I get me a gun license here is such an INSULT!! So he thinks they all don;t know how to speak proper Englsh....talk abou PAAAANDERING!!! Kerry is VILE.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Read his quote in Post #73.

[jla]

"Hey mama, I'm gonna get me a huntin' license!"

"Ooooh! I love it when you talk like a commoner, John!
Let's go home and copulate, shall we?!"
