You know, I will give Kerry the benefit of the doubt on his youthful indescretions that are now tempered by age and hopefully wisdom. When I was young, it was "expected" to be a flaming liberal. Radical Chic was hip-environmentalism, UN, feed the homeless, blah, blah, blah. As you get older and reflect on the inherent absurdity of these viewpoints, you tend to lean to the right. And I am sure 95% of you know where I am coming from. What troubles me about Kerry is his record as a Senator. That ladies & gents is where the problem is. His voting record has reflected a linear progressivism from his youthfull ideals until today and that to me is unsettling.

This man is still in 1968!!!

Americans might want an International Communist, John Kerry, to hand the nation over to the benevolent and marvelous world government, the UN??

The 60s crowd IS our educational and bureaucratic system in America now...the sheeple have been well fattened by the 80s and 90s, maybe it's time for the slaughter so thinks John Fing Kerry and his merry band of thugs, liars and criminals.

BTW, does anyone think red Communist china is going to allow Taiwan (Chinese Taipei is their lack of recognition in Athens '04) into Beijing for the Oympics in '08? I do, because the redComms are planning on the Taiwanese, or, Chinese Taipei, to be playing WITH the redComms by then...

I think a lot of younger people don't understand how the entire country, from around the Forties through the Eighties identified itself as 'liberal'. In much the same way as the average person now identifies themselves as 'conservative'. Of course, the labels become meaningless when applied to such large groups of people.

That is the era when most of today's news anchors and editors came of age. So for people like Rather/Jennings/Brokaw, they still consider themselves liberal even if they won't use the word. And they think there is something wrong anyone who isn't.
