Free Republic

As long as she's shut-up and gone away...far away..I could care less where she is.

BINGO!

AND WORKS WITH FAITH!

LOL!....Actually at first I thought it IS a parody, then I thought, you know, it DOES sound like what some liberal Brit might say...my main point was that when or if an Ohioan does get one of these letters that an answer from us Freepers is what is needed.

What we need is the return address to this person who obviously did NOT sign his real name. Then we could send a snail mail freep!

Just what job has Teresa Heinz-Kerry held other than spreading her legs for wealthy and powerful men?

I'd bet JFnK has to pay for it..lets be honest, after THoK got Heinz money she sat back and waited for the highest bidder and seeing that she may one day get to be first lady just had to appeal to her.

"Hey, you're new aren't you, are you an intern? I have a friend I'd like you to meet, his name is Bill."

Ummm, how about mutant fish sacrafices itself to make statement about presidential election...with it's dieing breath it whispered "It's Bush's fault we're almost extinct."

Have you noticed Kerry came out with "A Stronger America" and Bush came out with "A Safer America"..

Maybe Kerry's new slogan should be "Can't we all just get along?" No wait that one is taken..

Hey, you're right, and while question #1 was still 37% and didn't go up, question #4 was 46% and went down to 45%....I don't get it..

Where do you stand on the issue of gay marriage?

I am for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. 37%
I am not for gay marriage but I think a constitutional amendment goes too far. 10%
Pay attention to local feeling and leave the matter up to the states. 5%
I believe that gay marriage should be allowed nationwide. 46%

You know, I told my parents the night of the debate that it seemed like Kerry has switched from "I was in Vietnam and I'm a war hero" to "I was law enforcement officer."

We cannot help but laugh every time he tries to use either.

Now, can anyone tell who is selling hate?? It's people like this that perpetuate the hate between the races, regardless of the statements he made about guards not letting black people into the twin towers, maybe their intent was in question more than their attire.

People did NOT deserve to die for that!

THATS RIGHT! I remember Sean Hannity talking about this now. Thanks.

I may be wrong, but wasn't the issue with the US buying drugs from Canada that Canada was buying some of their drugs from other countries and the US wasn't sure where the drugs were coming from and concerned about bad drugs, but the flu vaccine was supposed to be made in Canada?

I had posted this on Conservababes, I was curious myself..

I have to admit for some time I have been very interested in this subject since we never hear anything about John Kerry's first marriage, especially since he drags out his daughters and parades them all over the place, as any proud father should.

But who was his first wife? Her name is and was Julia Thorne, sister to John's best friend at that time, and an heiress who comes from an influential family, estimated to be worth about $300 million, nothing compared to his current sugar momma, but certainly more than Kerry's own net worth. They were married May 23, 1970 and during the insuing years the marriage produced two daughters, Alexandra and Vanessa. It wasn't until the 1980's that anything wrong became apparant.

Mr. Kerry had decided to make a bid to become Michael Dukakis lieutenant governor. According to an article found on siliconinvestor.com Mr. Kerry, in an interview with New Yorker Magazine, shrugged off any suggestions that he ignored his wife's dibilitating mental disorder.

In an attempt to explain why he decided not to let his wife's precarious mental state derail his 1982 bid to become Michael Dukakis' lieutenant governor, Kerry told the New Yorker magazine last December, "When I get focused and set out to do something, I'm pretty good at staying focused."

"You don't want to let yourself down, you know what I'm saying?" added the ambitious Democrat without a hint of irony.

The article goes on to say that while they separated in 1982 and were still legally married until 1988, Mr. Kerry carried on many affairs.

Gossip columns at the time linked him to Morgan Fairchild, Cornelia Guest and even President Reagan's liberal daughter, Patti Davis.

They were divorced July 25, 1988 and Mr. Kerry didn't tie the knot again until he met Maria Teresa Thierstein Simoes-Ferreira Heinz, otherwise known then as Teresa Heinz. Widow and heiress of Senator John Heinz who was killed in an airplane accident in 1991.

According to a biographical article on Julia Thorne at nationmaster.com..

On May 7, 1997, two years after his remarriage, Kerry publicly announced that he had requested an annulment from the Roman Catholic Church of his marriage to Thorne. Thorne vigorously opposed the annulment, but it was granted.

To which Julia Thorne responded with..

"a letter of opposition to the archdiocese because she feels the process demeans their relationship and their children," reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in 1997.
If their marriage were annuled, regardless of the reason, doesn't that now make their children, both born within the sanctity of marriage, illegitimate? Just what was the real reason he wanted this marriage annuled? Is it possible his new wife wanted to make sure his two children had no claim what so ever to her fortune? She made Mr. Kerry sign a prenup, and no one knows what is in it, just as no one knows what is in the divorce papers of the first Mr. and Mrs. John Kerry.

"Everybody has a prenup," Heinz explained to Lisa DiPaulo, who profiled her sympathetically in Elle.

You have to have a prenup. You've got three kids with somebody else, you've got to have a prenup. You could be as generous or as sensitive as you want. But you have to have a prenup.

Evidently Mz. Heinz Kerry doesn't really consider John's children her's, she told a talk show host not long ago she hoped to have at least one "good daughter-in-law", since she didn't have a daughter to "take care of me", she laughed. One could wonder why the two daughters from Mr. Kerry's first marriage are often flaunted so publicly while THK's three sons are seen much less.

Questions have also arisen about Mr. Kerry and child support, while not actually called a dead beat dad, there are questions about why the first Mrs. Kerry has had to take him to court for child support a few times over the years.

It appears to me the deeper we delve into Mr. Kerry's past and the more we learn about him the more questions we actually find. Questions, when we search for answers. Perhaps there are no answers, perhaps Mr. Kerry knows we would never accept the truth of the answers he gives. We will probably never know.

My first attempt at writing anything like this, but I have felt for some time that there were things I questioned and wanted to research and write about, one was never hearing about JHKs first marriage.

See, even when he's not trying GWB is creating jobs and putting people to work...LOL!


Thanks JFnK!

Speaking as someone who has done genealogy for many years, this is a wonderful find. I have spent many an hour tromping through over growth looking for old family graves.

And I thought I was just being mean thinking that...glad to know I'm just being "right".
