You know that Sen. John Kerry is in trouble when even his close ally Sen. Teddy Kennedy is ridiculing him.
Democrats are so furious over Kerry's waffling about whether to delay accepting the party's presidential nomination that "Kennedy privately mocked Kerry at a party fund-raising event this week for failing to consult him, pretending to take orders from the junior senator over the phone," the Boston Herald reported today.
Massachusetts' senior U.S. senator pretended to be on the phone with his protege and said, "Yes, John. Whatever you say, John," one eyewitness revealed.
One prominent Democrat lawmaker told the Herald: "People are kicking the [expletive] out of Kerry over this. I can't find anybody who thinks this is a good idea."
Daley to Kerry: Stop the Hatred
And you know Kerry is in trouble when a hard-core Democrat pol tells him to stop being so hateful and disrespectful.
Earlier in the presidential campaign, Kerry made a comment to some union employees that the Bush administration was a bunch of corrupt liars.
Oops! He's done it again.
Kerry, in what he supposedly thought was an off-the-record conversation with reporters, said after President Bush's fall from his bike last weekend, "Did the training wheels fall off?"
Five-term Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, who had a similar injury years ago, jabbed Kerry for his sneering attitude toward the president.
Daley reminded his party's nominee-to-be: "When someone falls ... you should not wish ill upon anyone. It's not right. ... You just don't do that. Let's have some respect for one another."
President Bush, of course, made no ugly comments after Kerry recently suffered falls while bicycling and while snowboarding.
"To Daley, Kerry's remark symbolized a hate-filled brand of politics the mayor has long despised," the Chicago Sun-Times reported today.
Hizzoner said: "The thing I worry about in politics is all of these people hating one another: 'I hate Kerry', 'I hate Bush.' I wish the former presidents - Carter and Ford and Clinton and Bush - would all get up and tell people, 'You may support candidates, but don't hate the other candidate.'
"You see too much hate. And I'll tell you one thing - hate will turn on people. ... When hate gets in politics, it's a very, very dangerous aspect."
No word as yet on whether Democrats around the country, including the hateful members of groups such as Moveon.org, have hung their heads in shame.
Some are beginning to get it, but is it too late? I think so. They have already gone over the edge, and they can not back track now.
I hope some of those on this forum that have been demanding that President Bush go after Clinton, and the Democrats the same way they have gone after conservatives will begin to see the wisdom of taking the high road.
If, President Bush had been attacking the previous Administration all this time, and have gone on the offensive against Democrats (like many here would like), he would be in the gutter with the Democrats, and there would have been no public good will to protect him from the attack from the main stream media, the left, and Hollywood.
As it is, middle America is only seeing the "hate" from the left and they are turning from it.
No....... that was his lovely brother...........the whole family is just top notch.
Politics is all about religion. The religion of the left has nothing at all to do with "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" therefore they play by a whole different set of rules and get away with it.
We keep forgetting some important facts. Kerry isn't well liked among Democrats, for reasons ranging from his inability to hold firm to any position, to his arrogance. Second, Kerry isn't a very good campaigner, as he is demonstrating weekly, if not daily. Third, Kerry doesn't have a "plan" beyond bitching about Bush. Thats all he does, when you reread his comments. No ideas come from John Kerry, unless they are the ideas that failed the first few times around (like going to the UN). And finally, the Kerry Campaign to this point has lived "down" to the level Kerry was at prior to Dean's implosion.
There were very valid reasons for Kerry's collapse last fall, folks. All of them are now beginning to be highlighted, inadvertently by the candidate himself. Nobody within the Democratic Party actually has any respect for the Junior Senator from Taxachuettes.
This is why when you ask someone planning to vote for Kerry "Whats he done to get your support" they can't answer. It ALWAYS becomes a variation of "He's not Bush".
Thats not a viable strategy for winning the Whitehouse.
In spite of all the polls and the negative, hostile press, there is NO way he can win in November.
It's starting...every day they will start dropping another comment from another prominent Dem until Kerry drops out. What do you all think?
Love the flip-flops! LOL
And the UN symbol!
Whenever Theresa has John off her leash he stumbles and falls over his arrogance.
Include his spill while skiing and bumping into that Secret Service agent, then proclaiming that f....n guy got into my way.
By the way, what happened to the complaint this agent said he was filing.
heard on the radio(Bob and Tom show) it costs $26,000 an flight hour to operate.
Of course. And we know this to be true because...
If political hatred is evil where does that leave a ton of posters at FR?
NewsMax seems to have dropped any pretense of being a reporting source as opposed to a marketing group.
You can't take a stroll through the sewer without getting sh*t on your shoes.
It's not that political "hatred" is "evil", it's that one of the candidates is a graceless boor.
It's not sKerry's plane, It's the family's.
It was his brother Bill Daley that was Gore's campaign manager. Richie (mayor for life)rules Chicago.
Excellent points. You just cannot win by saying the other guy is bad therefore vote for me.
"....the wisdom of taking the high road."
Always a tougher path. Appreciated your comments.
Your point is off the mark.......
Can anyone photoshop Kerry's plane flying into the WTC???
