The Trouble Is, So Far Kerry Stinks On TV

Surely this fool must have paid some big money for advice already. It's obviously just not working.

From what I hear, he doesn't take advice. Old "Do you know who I am?" is way too smart for that.

[SheLion]

Kerry is a "blow hard." So I imagine he is blowing quite a bit! ack!

[sauropod]

Surely you remember Bob Dull?

[goldstategop]

Exactly. If he can't handle a competitive election campaign, how he is going to find it within himself to deal with America's enemies? Short answer is he can't.

Kerry accused Bush, Cheney and Karen Hughes for his medals fiasco of 30 years ago. I didn't realize Karen was that powerful. Wow!


lol

[Terp]

I almost feel sorry for him. He's in the big leagues now and it's not what he expected!

[vanmorrison]

I agree with you on this. I have been expecting Bush to get close to a 50 state sweep since early this year, when Dean was the Democrat candidate. I still believe its possible with JohnEffinKerry running against Bush. Most importantly, I have said all along that the polls are absolute bullshit, absolute lies thrown out there by the left wing media to push the populace into supporting Kerry. I expect as the election nears you'll see the left wing media back off from their preposterous misrepresentations of the facts, just so they have a smidgin of credibility to continue to sell their mendacious rags and try to save what little TV news viewing audience that remains.

I thought that was so funny too when I heard the Kerry sound bite. LOL

Dont write this yutz off yet
he was WAY behind until Iowa until the last minute lets hope he doesnt have some sort of renaissance like that again

[EQAndyBuzz]

Bottom line for Kerry.

He has spent the better part of the last 33 years lying and playing both sides so that one day he could become president.

Problem was he expected to be president in a socialist society where lying and talking out of both sides of your mouth is normal. Now he is being called on it.

Everyone knows this and there is not enough paint in the world to whitewash this Marxist loser. he should be buried alongside of Kennedy at the bottom of the Bigdig.

I listened to Kerry on Hardball last night via XM Radio. I cannot believe what a whiney, wussy, wobbly little boy Kerry is. Matthews lead him along a discussion about how mean the Republicans were going to be towards Kerry and his wife, like they were towards Dukakis and Kitty, Matthews alleged.

The attacks from the dems directed at President Bush have been vicious, nasty, and almost always over the top. What you have to admire about President Bush is that, at least outwardly, he brushes their hatred off. That's the sign of a man comfortable with himself and his beliefs. Kerry needs another haircut!

Thank you!

[BigSkyFreeper]

From what I hear, he doesn't take advice. Old "Do you know who I am?" is way too smart for that.

That's true, he told a prospective Democrat voter a couple weeks ago that he didn't know what he was talking about when the voter (the retired math teacher from City University of Harlem) that there were no differences between Kerry and Bush regarding Iraq.

[Arrowhead1952]

If he's paying $1000 for a haircut, I'd almost think he's paying just as much if not more for all that bad advice he's being given.

Check out this thread about the price of kerry's haircut!

(John Kerry's $15,000! Haircut [not $1000 per Drudge])

Abraham Lincoln at sea.

"Creepo Dumbocrats, take a gander at the American might you despise."

[lstanle]

"If Kerry gets any wishy washier, he will simply disappear. His is the worst presidential campaign I have seen in quite a while."

I think we could know what percent of the vote Kerry would get if someone would ask a poll question, "Do you absolutely hate George W. Bush.? The percent answering yes should closely approximate Kerry's vote percentage.

[fuzzthatwuz]

"but there are many instances in which George Bush communicates more clearly."

Communication is much easier when one is telling the truth. Kerry can't seem to grasp this basic concept.

[syriacus]

Excuse me, but that "kid" was given command of others' lives. That "kid" was in Paris. That "kid" was and is accountable for his actions today and his actions today are most questionable.

Exactly. Many people joined gangs when they were in their teens. Some of them wised-up and apologized (or at least felt some remorse) when they got older.

But, in his "youth," Kerry was more like a gang leader, not a mere gang member. Kerry planned the antisocial events and encouraged others to follow his lead.

To top it off, Kerry hasn't shown sincere remorse for the public acts he wishes he could free himself from.

If Kerry wants to cut "free" from huge sections of his own past, he needs to show he is sorry and he needs to specifically name what he is sorry for.

Once upon a time, Kerry's youthful bid for the >>>limelight<<< set him apart from "ordinary" kids.

If he wishes to break from his past, Kerry's repentance must be public and specific, because his transgressions were public and specific.
