As soon as I heard earlier today that John Kerry had endorsed Barack Obama, my first thought was the title of this DUmmie THREAD, "Why did Kerry stab Edwards in the back?" Sheesh! Talk about a lack of loyalty! This was probably the biggest act of political betrayal since, well, the Goracle endorsed Howard Dean over his 2000 running mate, Joe Lieberman. Of course, a lot of this endorsement has to do with Kerry's hatred for Hillary since he blames her in large part for his 2004 defeat. So let us now watch the DUmmies observe Kerry stabbing the Breck Girl in the back while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if Obama also has a grandfather from Austria, is in the [brackets]
Why did Kerry stab Edwards in the back?
[John Edwards has the Breck Girl's back.]
It has been no secret that Edwards did not agree with the manner in which Kerry ran his last campaign. Kerry obviously was not happy with Edwards comments about the last election or his failure to defend his strategy? But what does it benefit Obama to have Kerry endorse him in SC? It's not like Kerry is a favorite son of South Carolina. It may even hurt Obama in that state? Why couldn't Kerry have waited to endorse Obama in a state where he had done well and was still thougth well of??
[It sounds like you are Swiftboating Kerry.]
It is a slap in the face isnt it?
[In contrast to the pats on the tush in 2004.]
Especially since there were stories in The Atlantic about Kerry's discomfort with Edwards as a running mate. I think he was uncomfortable running with him but bit his pride for political reasons.
[I have the feeling that Kerry is uncomfortable with EVERYBODY.]
kerry does whatever is politically expedient for him. he doesn't care about the little guy.
[You're several years late in this realization but the Kewpie Doll is on the way.]
Because it's all about the "f*ck you" to Edwards. If I were Obama, I wouldn't be too fulsome in my thanks for this endorsement.
[Hmmm... I'm wondering if Kerry is hoping for a locked convention where the delegates turn to... But of course, they would turn to the Goracle first.]
democrats often endorse. why is it a stab if he wants obama and edwards criticism of kerry last couple years, or edwards wife many comments about kerry, are they a stab in back.... or simply the edwards expressing? thinking you are seeing this awfully slanted.
[I forgot about Mrs. Edwards' digs against Kerry.]
More like a 9 iron up the butt.
[Somewhere out there, Ben Burch is smiling.]
We can always count on Karl for the poetic imagery.
[There once was a Kerry from Nantucket...]
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED TO WISE UP FAST THAT THE FIX IS IN FOR OBAMA BY THE POWER ESTABLISHMENT
[See you at the Trilateral Commission snack bar!]
Kerry stabbed us all in the back When he refused to fight the Coward Bush. He also betrayed our Democracy when he failed to challenge the voter suppression/fraud perpetrated by Rove's Rogues.
[Bev Harris is just $10 away from overturning the 2004 election.]
This can only help the Rethuglicans. F*ck you, Kerry.
[DUmmie loyalty at work.]
Lets compare running for president to swimming in a deep lake.... Having John Karry's support is like doing that with a concrete slab tied to your ankle.
[And having Ted Kennedy's support is like having a car tied to your ankle while swimming in a deep lake.]
Good point, PJ. In 2008 Jean-Fraud disses his running mate, in 2004 Algore dissed his running mate--and to take it a step further, in 2000 Bubba didn't exactly give Algore a lot of help.
John Kerry was *for* Edwards before he was against him.
A place where Kerry is still well thought of? The problem is, Davos doesn't have a lot of delegates.
Silky Pony will have to re-do his make-up.
Or a ski pole.
John Kerry is SHAFT-BUTTING John Edwards!
Well, not quite. Kerry is VERY comfortable around rich widows.
Say, do any of the leftwing blogs/sites have a “freeper funnies” guy?
If not, why not? Lack of talent?
More likely, a lack of a sense of humor.
KERRY BETRAYED (MY PURE HEART)
Tune: "Expressway (to Your Heart)"
I've been tryin' to tell DU for a long time
Because constantly it's been on my mind
I was thinkin' 'bout an excuse I could make
But it seems like I made a mistake:
I was wrong
I worked too long
I got caught up in the power
But it started to go sour
When he lost the election
Just like he loses his direction!
John Kerry betrayed
My pure heart!
Man, did he fade
And look how we paid!
That Kerryspeak is much too clouded
Much too clouded, so clouded
No more for me (too clouded)
Oh, too clouded. . . .
Maybe Mike Gravel can throw Kerry into the lake.
My first thought when I heard about the endorsement "That's going to hurt Obama -- especially in the South."
I'm trying to think if I actually know anyone who likes Kerry well enough to see his endorsement as a positive thing.
Li'l Beaver is trying not to get stabbed in the back himself:
Henrickson does the jobs that PJ doesn't want to do.
Your book reports must have been fun to read. ;-)
That's rather catchy. Where do I sign up?
LOL Of course, silly me. Thank you for stating what should have been obvious; the institutional racism, the social caste that bind the common man and a criminal justice system that controls a disproportionately high number black males...it’s all there (implied or otherwise) and yet I, the right wing nut job, missed it. For you an A, for our liberal elite DUmmie friend an A+ and for me a F.
Who’s PBD?
progressivebydesign. Supposedly an original DUmmie with over 12,000 posts.
They can't even have fun when stuff happens like the Mark Foley airport john incident without some sodomite killjoy pitching a fit.
