Why I support Kerry

[TruthIsAll]

Why I support Kerry:

1. He looks French
2. He is a Catholic with some Jewish blood.
3. His wife has loads of bucks
4. He protested the VietNam war
5. He is a Massachusetts liberal. So was the original JFK
6. He has a strong liberal voting record
7. He earned the medals he threw over that fence
8. He appears in the same forged photo as Jane Fonda
9. He flip-flops and has been known to change his mind
10.He told us to "get over it" regarding the Bush coup. I won't.
11.He never claimed to have asked McCain to be VP
12.He may have had an extra-marital affair. I don't know. Or care
13.He may be skull and bones. I don't care.
14.He appears to be a decent man.
15.He is not George Bush

1. He doesn't pretend to be what he isn't

He looks great in a suit or in khakis and sneakers.
His IQ is above the "Must be this smart to be President" mark.

2. Kerry went after BCCI -- almost singlehandedly.

The Poppy Bush Justice Department wanted to allow the crooked bank to keep in business, enabling money laundering business as usual for terrorists, drug barons, Wall Street insiders, Off-shore money types, spooks, fascists and other ne'er-do-rights.

Kerry also went after Oliver North and the Iran-Contra drug runners. Kerry's investigations established direct links between the airplanes going south with guns and heading north with cocaine. The main witness is DEA agent.

13. Agree wholeheartedly! KERRY is how we can defeat Bushler and save nation.

The guy has the creds needed to bring the angry white males back in the fold. They've been largely in the pockets of the warmongers for a long time.

Regarding Kerry: Here's a good overview from Hermes-Press:

Why Americans Must Vote For Kerry

By Norman D. Livergood

If We Don't Defeat Bush II in 2004, This Country Will Go Down the Tubes

Defeating Bush and electing John Kerry President in 2004 must be our number one priority.

Using a series of television ads, the Bush junta is already trying to rewrite history to conceal Dubya's miserable record behind a $150 million mountain of contributions from corporate special interests.

The Bush junta--and the Republican-controlled media--are leveling at Kerry every smear tactic Karl Rove's dirty-tricks brain can concoct. Their multi-million dollar war chest allows them to plaster the air waves with their usual lies and slander.

In the weeks to come, Hannity insanity will mushroom, Un-Fair-and-Un-Balanced O'Reilly will rail against Kerry, and Dennis Miller will ramp up his Goebbels on steroids schtick. All the other TV and talk-radio rabid rightist reactionaries will be out in full regalia, like Halloween, Part 666 meets Day of the Living Dead.

"The Bush strategy is clear. Use wedge issues to divide America. Work overtime to distort John Kerry's record. And use Bush's campaign war chest to try to cover up his failed record." -- Mary Beth Cahill, Campaign Manager, John Kerry for President
