"When Democrats set out to fool people, they often succeed. Their long track record of winning elections they should lose attests to this."

Look at the bright side though; people who are stupid enough to vote for them are also shallow enough to vote on looks, and I don't care if Kerry publicly plays grabass with a dozen boy toys, it isn't going to improve his appearance a bit.

They WANT to believe that the Democrats have nominated a centrist, and only we can tell them it's a crock.

That part of your post I agree with.

As politically dysfuncional as the Democratic party is, there are many that look to it as the JFK (real JFK) party and refuse to give it up and opt to hope for it's improvement.

Nooooo.....clowns are SCARY!

So is Kerry!

Edwards is playing people for fools, too.

"Daddy Edwards’ grassing got him promoted to supervisor, then to plant manager — and he finally resigned to start his own business as a consultant to the textile industry. As a Boston Globe profile of Edwards put it last year, the senator never “notes that his father was part of management . . . ‘John was more middle class than most of us,’” says Bill Garner, a high school friend and college roommate."

This is taken from the LA Weekly back in January, 2004 when he started his run and the left wanted to destroy him. Well, it just may.

John Edwards was never the hookworm riddled, barefoot, bean-eating, tar-shacked, tobacco road inhabitant he likes to play.

While Kerry's attempts to pass himself off as a regular Middle American are ludicrous, they are not to be laughed off. They must be countered. Many people are easily fooled, and many others wish to be fooled, by a Democrat. They WANT to believe that the Democrats have nominated a centrist, and only we can tell them it's a crock.

Excellent post, CP. We must never lose sight of the fact that a huge, and I mean HUGE, number of Americans continue to want to be fooled by the democrat party.

Don't know why this is true, but firmly believe it to be so. Roosevelt? John Kennedy? Who knows?

Bottom line is; do not become complacent, as I know not a single Freeper will, and work your butt off in every way possible to keep President Bush in office.

"I'm going to talk to people on the right," Kerry told The Times on Friday"

You already have talked to us. Your message could be summed up as "f*ck you".

I once had a dream the Kerry was trying to campaign to children.

[valkyrieanne]

Scum-sucking liar, Kerry is.

[humblegunner]

I've hunted all kinds of critters and I never had to crawl on my belly to do it.
I've had to lay down from time to time, but crawling was not really part of the drill.

John Kerry lurks? Cool...

1. Hanoi John: release ALL of your DD-214 military records.

A "HERO" wouldn't cover up any UCMJ violations?

2. Flipper: quit hiding behind Teresa's skirt, release ALL the tax returns.

A Senator wouldn't cover up any illegal campaign finance monkeyshines?

Thank you

aggressively court more conservative voters with a message that emphasizes traditional values of service, faith and family.

Does he think we are stupid........yes, he does.

[Indy Pendance]

How about W salsa?

[daybreakcoming]

We are on our third 4 pound bottle of HUNT'S.
Not likely to bankrupt the Heinz family - just can't bear seeing Heinz on my table...in my house even.

[NonValueAdded]

with a message that emphasizes traditional values of service, faith and family.

Yeah, we say the kick off show. Kerry, family value doesn't mean the net worth of your trophy wife. Or his he teh-ray-za's trophy husband? Either way, eeeeeeeewwwww

Imagine if a republican keep on saying the same thing on his stump speeches.

[Indy Pendance]

Same here, we don't buy tyson products either.

[Brimack34]

Flat Tax, close the borders, Private SS accounts, ban gay marriage, bring abortion back to the states. How am I doing so far Kerry. "These are a few of my favorite things" Someone put this to music for the two Johns.

[rockrr]

skerry is welcome to talk to me at any time
(as long as I have the right to "talk" back)

Heh heh.....

[Zeroisanumber]

Unfortunately for him, most of the folks on the right are there because they have half a brain. They don't vote on who has the best hair, looks the coolest, or can quip the best touchy feely lines. They won't fall for a stupid last minute pack of lies like this.

Idiots come in all political stripes, and Kerry could grab more of the center using this tack.

That said, I'm totally sold. I mean, he hunts. No one who hunts could be a bad man.

[NonValueAdded]

What do y'all suppose he's hunting? Earthworms or boy-toys?

Looks to me that he's hunting wabbits. Even Elmer Fudd demonstrates better range safety. Or maybe this reach out is his way of doing the "it's duck season; no, it's rabbit season; no, it's duck season ..." The flip flopping has a nice familiar feel for him.

The transparency of all this is PATHETIC.
