i dare someone to post this in GD:

[pres2032]

John Kerry is the greatest candidate the Democrats have ever fielded.

[JohnKleeb]

1. I am afraid to go there but I really do like Kerry a lot

Wait ya tellin me, that they're giving Kerry shit even though he's been critical of Rice.

[pres2032]

3. so do i, but you'd be insane to post that

[JohnKleeb]

5. of course

I hate them trying to make people liek me ashamed to like Kerry.

[chicagojoe]

2. Why must you turn this into a house of LIES !!!

[WindRavenX]

4. pssh

Why don't you save yourself the trouble and just dip me in BBQ sauce and toss me to a pack of starving wolves, eh? It'd be a lot cleaner.

[DaveinMD]

10. Hey Gen

Now I get to talk to you here. I like John Kerry, but I get into enough fights.

[WindRavenX]

18. Hey Dave-

A lot of people like JK. I would love to see him run again.

[JohnKleeb]

21. I would like it too

He's a good guy, and I really am glad he's been hard on Condi, kudos to Boxer too.

[DaveinMD]

22. Clark or Warner for me

but I'm proud of John Kerry and I get mad at people for ripping him.

[JohnKleeb]

24. Warner is good, he's my governor

We got a nice sucessor lined up too, Tim Kaine will be the next and a great governor of Virginia. I am proud of Kerry too, he's done a lot for people like me who are in special ed as Ive learned lately.

[DaveinMD]

25. Kerry

did a lot for all of us.

Do you have a learning disability? I overcame one myself.

[JohnKleeb]

28. Yes, I do

Yeah he's great all around on the issues, one of the reasons why I admrie him.

[DaveinMD]

34. what kind if you don't mind me asking?

You can pm me if you like.

[JohnKleeb]

36. ahh its a general one

I have ADD I know for a fact. I struggle more so with the maths and sciences. Its really interesting too, I taught myself how to read and knew all the presidents by age 5.

[DaveinMD]

41. pretty similar to me

I had a fine motor skill and visual perception problem. It basically affected my handwriting and ability to line up columns doing math. I was always better at history and other social studies. Keep working hard and you'll still do great.

[JohnKleeb]

44. yes, fine motor skills

and I have bad handwriting. Yep, I am great at history and other social studies.

[DaveinMD]

46. Yeah, you'll be just fine

No one can read my handwriting. But that's okay. I got to type my exams in college. Everything worked out well. Now I own my own political consulting firm.

[JohnKleeb]

48. Typing really has helped me out big time.

[WindRavenX]

27. Some of the anger is understandable

I personally was screaming at him (when I wasn't crying) the morning he conceded for being a quitter- but now...I almost understand. There's something tragic about this election in how the truly noble and honorable man was so easily shat upon by an immoral, greedy, arrogant, asshole.

[DaveinMD]

29. If Kerry thought he could win

he wouldn't have conceded. He wanted to win more than anything. He is such a good man. I really feel for him. I was proud to support him.

[WindRavenX]

35. and he's an Eagle

Nothing was cooler than meeting him many times over the course of the election and having him recognize my "Boston College Superfan" shirt.
He would've been a great president. It would've been hard for him to steer this country back around, but he certainly couldn't have hurt it.
It's going to take decades to undue the damage this administration will have inflicted upon the world in 8 years.

[JohnKleeb]

37. Thats so cool

He's a great guy, one of the reasons why I left GD is because I hated seeing him being pooped on.

[DaveinMD]

45. that is so true

but I'm not giving up. And we won't get there by running people out of the party. I'm back at work trying to get people elected.

[JohnKleeb]

47. I am so excited about casting my first vote for Tim Kaine

in November. Unfortunely that asshole Kilgore is attacking Kaine for get this his religious based opposition to the death penalty, ahh this is why I am a proud Catholic, Tim's Catholic and has helped out the unfortunate a lot and Jerry Kilgore is your typical fundie asshole.

[DaveinMD]

51. Kaine is a good candidate

but that stuff could hurt him. Virginia is still a Republican state. But Kilgore has other issues. Kaine could very well win. I need to get some clients in Virginia.

[JohnKleeb]

53. Yes it could sadly

We execute the most people per captia and are second after Texas in excutions. Kilgore just pisses me off.

[DaveinMD]

55. there are rumors about Kilgore

that could hurt him, but dems probably wouldn't use these rumors.

[JohnKleeb]

56. I think Ive heard those

that he's gay?

[DaveinMD]

57. exactly

[JohnKleeb]

58. I thought I heard that

He's old type Henrico blood. Not sure where Kaine is from originally. We need someone to run against Allen in 2006.

[DaveinMD]

60. I don't think Allen is beatable

maybe Don Beyer will give it a go.

[JohnKleeb]

61. There's rumors Warner may run against him

but you know how presidential politics are now, STAY AWAY FROM THE SENATE. Yeah Beyer would be the best shot I think. It can't sadly and this will piss the pissmongrels in GD off but it can't be a really big liberal, sure they'll do ok here in Northern Virginia but they will not do good in the western parts of the state which are breachable if we run the right candidate.

[DaveinMD]

62. Warner

should be getting his Presidential campaign going. He shouldn't run for that seat. There was a military woman that almost ran against John Warner. I think her name was Kennedy. She was the highest ranking woman in the military. She might be a decent candidate.

[JohnKleeb]

64. Lt General Claudia Kennedy, yes, she was an early backer of Kerry

I believe. John Warner will be there until he retires unless he pisses off the republicans like he did when he refused to endorse North, that earned him some of my respect.

[DaveinMD]

65. Yes

that's her. John Warner is a decent guy for a Republican. Claudia Kennedy would be a good candidate against Allen.

[JohnKleeb]

66. Yeah I don't know what my poly sci class republicans think of him

I know one of them can't stand Chuck Hagel who Ive met who to me was a decent guy who promised to vote against the gay marriage ban if it came up.

[DaveinMD]

68. Hagel

is in the maverick model as well. I need to get some sleep. Got to do some work tomorrow. Actually today.

[JohnKleeb]

71. night, yes hes a maverick and they hate him

[JohnKleeb]

31. Its understandable somewhat I guess

but I know damn well, the ones leading the shit against him right now even though I am not there are the same people who called him Bushlite in the primaries. You want bushlite? this is bushlite!

God look at that hair man.

[nickgutierrez]

6. My prediction:

:scared:

[pres2032]

8. haha, you may be true

[JohnKleeb]

9. no, no my friend, this

[nickgutierrez]

16. You may be more accurate in terms of size and scale...

...but mine has COLOR!

[JVS]

7. I think you'd be properly flamed. He's no FDR

[pres2032]

11. no shit

i just want to see them explode.

[JohnKleeb]

14. of course

so many nominees over the years, it takes a special one to be the best of all those. I want to see em explode too.

[Radical Activist]

12. lol

funny. What do I get if I do it?

[pres2032]

13. my utmost respect

and a george foreman grill

[JohnKleeb]

15. put in a free frozen frogurt

[pres2032]

17. sure! you bet!

[Radical Activist]

19. I don't really do "novelty grills" as Hank Hill would say

[pres2032]

23. fine, how about this:

[Radical Activist]

26. Ok

Babe magnet cars will do the trick

[pres2032]

30. great! now get to it, soldier!

[Radical Activist]

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3007193

[pres2032]

39. awsome! here are the keys!

[JohnKleeb]

33. oh yeah and Rad

[KitchenWitch]

20. Hold out for the big screen HD TV

[JohnKleeb]

38. ok we got another lounge medal

[Radical Activist]

I'll wear it on my uniform at all times!

[JohnKleeb]

42. yep you should be honored dude

[pres2032]

40. yes, i second that!

great job!

[JohnKleeb]

43. you got one yourself for that daring GD raid a while back

[bling bling]

49. ah HA!

I read that when it was first posted without any responses and thought...this guys out looking for a fight, I'll get some popcorn and check back in a few. Then I went back and saw responses and realized he was put up to it.

Good one.

[msgadget]

50. I don't think you'll have THAT much of a problem.

Seriously, Kerry has a lot of supporters, more since he got back from Europe.

[JohnKleeb]

52. thats good to know

Kerry did great overseas IMO. Ive been out of GD for a while and since before the Kerry trip to europe.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

54. Dang it...

I would have done it for just the frozen yogurt.

[Radical Activist]

59. Nice avatar

I was in Texas myself and hung out with a bunch of lone star Dems recently.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

63. Thank you

I hope your stay in our infamous state was a pleasant one. If nothing else our Dem's here do tend to run in packs. :)

[Radical Activist]

69. I did have a good time

I was in a small college town. Although I have to say that Lone Star beer, the "national" beer of Texas, was crap. But for $1 a bottle I guess you can't expect much.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

78. You drank that stuff?

I hope you washed your mouth out with something palatable afterwords. :)

Someone was pulling your leg. We've unofficially adopted Shiner Bach years ago. You were not in Austin I am guessing. :eyes:

[Radical Activist]

79. The bartender did give me a warning

she made no claim that it was good, and even asked if I wanted to finish. I wanted to try it for the novelty though. It says right on the bottle that it is the "national" beer of Texas, which I found mildly amusing. The rest of the time I had Fat Tire, which I missed a lot because you can't get it in Chicago.

No, I wasn't in Austin, but I'm going there next time I'm in texas in Feb.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

81. I'm glad you were at least warned...

Fat Tire is good... Lone Star is swill. :)

Shiner Bock is the official beer of Austin. You'll like Austin it great. A blue heart beating in our red state. :)

Are you planning any DU meet-up's while your in Austin?

[Radical Activist]

82. I don't have any planned

but that isn't a bad idea.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

84. Post the date on the Texas board

We'll try and see how many Austin area people we can get together. :)

[pres2032]

67. haha! the flaming has commenced!

[JohnKleeb]

70. hah really, this is a good thread

I am glad, I like Kerry. I hope he continues to prove the naysayers wrong.

[pres2032]

72. i was talking about the GD thread

but it has def happened in this one too, ironically.

i hope he comes back and runs again actually.

[Radical Activist]

74. The fact that it is so clearly a joke

as revealed by the replies don't seem to matter to some people. Posting before reading or thinking is pretty standard.

[JohnKleeb]

77. obviously

hell I really like Kerry a lot but he's not the greatest of all time. I am surprised IGNORED hasn't posted yet, :wtf: ha.

[JohnKleeb]

73. nm you guys are just that cool

That was awesome!

[pres2032]

75. goodnight!

same time, same bat channel tomorrow?

[JohnKleeb]

76. ahh what the hell, I got enough time, I'll be here for a few more mins

[liberal43110]

80. Silly Question.......

........what's GD?

[JohnKleeb]

83. General Discussion

[KitchenWitch]

85. Welcom to DU
