CLOUD OVER KERRY: MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR EXPRESSED 'HATRED' OVER TRIPS TO IOWA

Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts holds hatred for having to travel through heartland spots like Iowa to raise cash, it can be revealed.

On the eve of a fundraising trip to Dubuque, Iowa -- quotes surface which detail Kerry's feelings about trips to Dubuque.

'I hate it. I detest it," Kerry told a Boston reporter in 1996.

Kerry will attend church services on Sunday in Dubuque with state Rep. Patrick Murphy, and have lunch with activists in Dubuque.

"I hate going to places like Austin and Dubuque to raise large sums of money. But I have to," Kerry revealed to the BOSTON GLOBE.

So far, Kerry has collected slightly more than $10,000 from Iowa residents, insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

"I am sorry he hates coming here and taking our money!" Dubuque resident Marsha Vittal said in anger on Friday. "He wants to be my president, but he detests, detests coming to where I've chosen to live my life, to ask for support?!"

A Kerry staffer explained the senator holds no personal dislike of Dubuque or its residents.

"He's actually very excited to be making the trip this weekend," said the insider.

He detested Iowa before he loved it.

Funny, but you wouldn't expect a man who sleeps next to hundreds of millions of dollars to think of hundreds of dollars as "large sums".

He actually voted for Dubuque, before he voted against it.

All this negativity from the Globe, which negotiates its front pages with Democratic leaders, suggests that the Party is getting ready to hit the Command-Eject button on JFK Lite.

d.o.l.

KERRY ON DUBUQUE, IOWA

In 1996, Kerry Expressed His Frustration With The Fundraising Process. “‘I’m not suggesting this is a virtuous process,’ [Kerry] said. ‘I hate it. I detest it. I hate going to places like Austin and Dubuque to raise large sums of money. But I have to.’” (Brian C. Mooney, “Bundling Benefits Kerry Coffers,” The Boston Globe, 1/28/96)

I hope this hits the Texas and the Iowa news networks. Then I hope Kerry spins it and flip-flops on it like a fish out of water. He'll definitely lose Texas and Iowa after that. Idiot.
