Former Senator Kerrey to help Kerry Presidential Campaign

[Feanorcurufinwe]

Vietnam veteran and former U-S Senator Bob Kerrey is campaigning in Iowa for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry.

Kerrey is a Congressional Medal of Honor winner and a former member of the elite Navy SEAL team. He will join the John Kerry campaign tonight in the Council Bluffs area.

Bob Kerrey served Nebraska in the U-S Senate for 12 years and he was the state's governor for four years.

John Kerry also served in Vietnam and has been trying to gain support from Iowa's 292-thousand armed forces veterans.

1. Oh! I thought it was a typo. Well, good for Kerr(e)y

Perhaps they should go by first names on this one occasion.

2. Great news

I've always like Bob Kerrey...almost as much as John Kerry! Wouldn't it be a hoot if JK won the nomination and asked BK to run with him as VP. Kerry/Kerrey 2004. That would be pretty funny.

4. i have been for that

because i just like the sound of it. but bob kerrey seems like a pretty good guy also. a senator from NEBRASKA who voted against defense of marriage act. how many times will we see something like that ? and i'm sure most know that john kerry also voted against it.

3. I take it that Kerry is now looking for the war monger vote

7. Isn't Kerrey a suspected war criminal???

Didn't he committ war crimes in Vietnam? I'm almost certain that a whitewash committee let him off, but his men said that he was a war criminal, tried and true. Correct me if I'm, wrong, but why would a generally anti-war candidate accept the support from a person who is known to have committed crimes against humanity?

9. Vietnam was a shithole

Get off of it. That war is over. All wars are horrible. There is no glory in war, any war. They both know it. I have absolutely no idea what drives people to villify others over circumstances they have absolutely not the foggiest clue about.
