John Kerry Revs Up His Political Machine
August 17th, 2006 @ 5:29 am



While the Cowboy in Chief was playing Bono Wednesday on the back of a Harley, trying to look cool while pitching B.S. about the economy, a man who really owns and rides a Harley was busy “revving up his online political machine.”

John Kerry’s fundraising engines were roaring on Wednesday, when he “tapped his 3 million-person e-mail list on Wednesday to deliver a fundraising appeal” for Ned Lamont. The media was a buzz with the news that Kerry was backing “anti-war candidates.”

John Kerry is a man on a mission these days. He’s taking on the Republican machine. He’s backing candidates who share his views. He’s determined to help drive the Democrats back into control of the Senate and the House this fall. When you hear him speak, you know he means business.

Ed Schultz pegged it Tuesday when he said to Kerry at the end of an interview with him — “a lot of things that you said running up to ‘04, it’s a huge I told you so right now.”



The glow has gone out of Bush’s star, he’s still dipping in the polls, but meanwhile, Kerry’s star is rising and it’s burning brighter with validation every day.

Taking the opportunity to put his star power to work, John Kerry said in his fundraising email, “Ned Lamont has caused a national stir by successfully challenging the Bush position on Iraq that ignores the utter failure of the President’s policy.”

1. He's at it again - day two of fundraising for Lamont!

John Kerry Continues Fight for Lamont, Candidates Making Iraq a Central Issue
August 17th, 2006 @ 9:55 am

Today, marks day two of John Kerry’s national fundraising effort for Ned Lamont, Daniel Akaka, and Bob Menendez. Yesterday caused a stir in the media, as news outlets reported Kerry was revving up his political machine to raise money for anti-war candidates.

Kerry will tap into his 3 million person email list for a second time in 48 hours, to continue his national fundraising effort for three Senate candidates who Kerry said yesterday, “have had the courage to stand up against the Bush Administration’s broken policy in Iraq.” Below is a copy of the email:

Dear Friend,

People who live in white houses shouldn’t throw stones.

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove should know better, but it’s no surprise they don’t. For almost five years now, every time they’ve got their backs to the wall politically, they play “the fear card.” The latest example: Dick Cheney claiming that Democratic candidates who dare to challenge the Bush White House on Iraq are “emboldening terrorists.”

What’s worse, and startling, is that in Connecticut Joe Lieberman is now echoing their intolerable rhetoric attacking the Democratic Senate nominee.

It won’t work. We won’t let it work.

5. that's why they use Fake Pictures of Kerry to attack his sports activity

anytime they want to joke about him windsurfing or whatever.

the truth is that he looks great doing everything he does. that's why they wont use actual pictures and video of him doing it.
