Kerry: Make me second black president
AP ^ | 3/2/04 | RON FOURNIER

Posted on 03/02/2004 1:40:52 PM PST by BigTime

John Kerry (news - web sites) battled John Edwards (news - web sites) from New York to California in a 10-state show of strength Tuesday, seeking to shove his last major rival from the race and claim the Democratic presidential nomination.

Pre-election polling gave Kerry an edge in almost every Election Day venue as he sought a lion's share of the victories to make Edwards' presidential bid a political, if not quite a mathematical, impossibility. Kerry was already pivoting toward a general-election fight with President Bush (news - web sites).

"Boy, wait until you see the fire in my belly," he told a TV interviewer.

The pair spent part of the day in Georgia, with Kerry looking ahead to November.

"President Clinton (news - web sites) was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second," he told the American Urban Radio Network.

Add to the list of pandering quotes here:

To Al Jazeera, Kerry said, "Clinton was the first president to sell out our country to duplicitous terrorist organizations like the PLO and the North Korean administration. I'd like to be the second."

He did....it's in the article body. And he said it on tape.

THIS quote is what you will find when you look in the dictionary for the definition of PANDER.

I took liberties with the title. This quote was buried in an AP story that hit the wires this afternoon but the comment should have been the lead.

Clinton was the first Eskimo president. I'd like to be the second.

This kangaroo is on idiot and worst then Clinton. This buffoon of poison of cobra is riding on media liberal idiocy of not questioning him who he really is and what he stands for. But do you except ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC Brokaw and Roney and Imus question him serious questions of who really is. I want Kerry try to debate Rush and debate Colin Powell or Sean Hanity or Dick Chaney.

The strangest thing about this candidate is that he recycles quotes from President Bush quite a bit and doesn't seem to have any idea to call his own. He floats back and forth on just about every issue.

IOW, he has no core, no principles, and seemingly, no soul.

Only an eel could pander this shamelessly without retching.
