The Trouble Is, So Far Kerry Stinks On TV

THE NEW YORK OBSERVER ^ | 5/3/2004 edition | by Joe Hagan

[SheLion]

The US will win the war in Iraq and on terror when the Democrats love their country more than they hate George Bush.

I doubt if that's possible. President Bush can't p$ss straight enough for the rats! They have tunnel vision. That's why I am a Conservative!

[Former Proud Canadian]

I don't think the polls have been anywhere near accurate since 1980. That's when the "special sauce" started to be added and people being polled got so fed up they started lying to the pollsters.

Edwards would have been a much tougher candidate. Even Dean would have been better, although he would have been hard pressed to muster 100 electoral votes. Kerry is a complete, unmitigated disaster for the dems. He ignites no passion, he makes no sense. He doesn't even look like he wants the job. His popularity will slide as November approaches. The only people who will bother to vote for him will be the ultra dem/libs and the hate Bushes. 30% of the electorate, tops. Not enough to win a single state.

Surely you remember Bob Dull?

Well, I'd have to say Kerry is worse than Bob. Dole was too nice, Kerry is too mean. Mean trumps nice in the "worst candidate" department.

Mean as in nasty, not mean as in a dem crying because someone dared to ask a question.

[kittymyrib]

Just wait till JF'nK gets all that media coaching from the likes of Hewitt of SeeBS to further muddle his brain! That ought to finish him off.

[Non-Sequitur]

Is Kerry Blowing it?

Oh, yeah. Big time.

[Petronski]

His is the worst presidential campaign I have seen in quite a while.

Yep. Dukakis was better. Only Fritz Hollings was worse, as far as I remember.

I think he's in BIG trouble! Check out the attitude of this DUmmy:

40. Kerry is better than...well, nothing

Perhaps we should think of Kerry as the only hope to recover our nation from the grasp of terrifying, rightwing fanatics. That is no small thing. Sure, his support of the Iraqi war is deplorable, but he knows the U.S. public would never vote for an anti-war candidate, and that is why Dean and Kucinich are gone from the picture. Either he plays the political game or he's out of there too.

Oh yeah... The Dems are REAL enthused about this dude!

An unprincipled methodology.....entails having a foot in both camps. It's a strategy whereby a politician plays both parties (including his own) against each other for the sake of personal political advantage. Also used by unprincipled lobby groups with something to gain so that no matter who wins they have a foot in the winner's camp.

Compared to President George W. Bush, he added, Mr. Kerry appeared more intelligent, "but there are many instances in which George Bush communicates more clearly."

The whole area of intelligence is a mess. It's hard to define, hard to measure. Effective intelligence is very bound up with the communication skills needed to tell people what you are thinking.

"In recent appearances, Mr. Kerry’s digressions and obfuscations about whether he threw a war medal or a ribbon on the White House lawn in 1971—or whether the young Mr. Kerry should have used the word "war crimes" to describe actions in Vietnam—have obscured the candidate. At every turn, he has managed to turn the TV screen into smoked glass: He’s right in front of you, but you can’t … quite … make … him … out. "

Wrong. We are seeing him perfectly clearly. If you think you are looking through smoked glass, it's because he is all smoke. There is no substance there.

"His wife has a half a billion dollars and he gets $1,000 hair cuts. Surely this fool must have paid some big money for advice already. It's obviously just not working"

We still do not know what it cost to fly in the fancy hair dresser...Kerry is such an out of touch MORON.
I don't see how the Demwits can continue with him on the ticket.

[Rummyfan]

I understand a documentary entiitled, "Kerry's Ten-Minute Tour of Duty" was set to be aired in Boston at the convention. Teresa nixed it. She thought it was about their sex life.

LOL!

[Truth Table]

###Four months in Vietnam and he earned three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Start, and a Silver Star.###

No CMH, though. Damn--after all he done for the war effort, he was jipped. If Kerry would have just stayed in and won the war for us we'd all be better off. He could have, too (or, at least that is what a few select world leaders told him at a In And Out Burger a few days ago.)

Found a very good point in an op ed this morning:

"His (Kerrys) friends say he is just instinctively nuanced in his thinking. That may be closer to the mark. According to Webster's Dictionary, the etymology of nuance is from the middle French (Hmm!) word nuer: to make shades of color; from nue: clouds, akin to the Greek; nythos: dark. That would seem to be Mr. Kerry's problem. He thinks and talks in shades that create clouds and darkness around him."

Why is ther debate about John F***ing Kerry's medals? A soldier who earns medals and then throws them away in protest are NOT real soldiers, NOT real Americans. This act truly destroys Kerry's war "hero" image. But then again, Kerry lied to earn his Purple Hearts.

[Lancey Howard]

OH MAN!!!!
Fox News just had on one of Kerry's Vietnam commanding officers. He said he didn't approve of Kerry getting a purple heart for "a little scratch on his arm" and didn't know if Kerry even got any medical treatment for it. The man just quietly buried Kerry.

I believe the commanding officer's name was Hibbard.

[TheRightGuy]

I wonder how helpful this defense of Kerry's traitorous words are coming from a man who has admited to exactly the kind of atrocities that JF'nK accused all American soldiers in Vietnam of.

It's also interesting to note that there been no Viet Nam war atrocities, none whatsoever, blamed on the Texas Air National Guard.

[watchwoman]

"He thinks and talks in shades that create clouds and darkness around him."

It just hit me - Kerry reminds me of Eeyore (the sad-eyed morose donkey from A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh tales.) Think about it - if Eeyore were human, he'd be John Kerry.

[Logic n' Reason]

Well Ladies and Gentlemen; Boys and Girls...here we are seeing and hearing Mr. Kerry for the first time. Many of us are confused, dissillusioned, frightened, and/or disgusted by his rhetoric, his appearence, and his thinking (if it can be called that).

Do you know who I feel the most pity for (after all, we can ignore the clown, or just change the channel)?

The US Senate! They've had to listen politely to this clown's nonsense ever since Mr. Kerry (no doubt with Kennedy help) made it into the Senate! Egads!

Can you imagine yourself having to sit through a speech by Teddy...quickly followed up by one from Mr. Kerry????

BARF!

Wowser, good one.

Few days ago, someone posted that Kerry "put in" for a Purple Heart but military protocol is that a superior nominates you for the award.
