Multiple threads started today by people Kerry seems to be impressing
again.

Either happy he hasn't disappeared and is still fighting or that he is showing backbone (was it always there? yes). Slowly and surely he is turning some of the naysayers around.

1. good.
It shows me who are Dems and who are suspicious entities. It's amazing, the one about Kerry showing spine: like they didn't get that yet? LOL. Well I guess we have to admit that not everyone pays attention like we do! :loveya:

9. Well, there will be plenty of occasions for spine
so to speak. There was a thread about Kerry sort of fading away. This is not going to happen for the folliwng reasons:

Committee Assignments for Sen. Kerry

Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Ranking Member
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce, Science and Transportation
(Members, Jurisdiction)
Sub-Commitee on Oceans, Fisheries, and the Environment Ranking Member
Sub-Committee on Communications
Sub-Committee on Transportation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finance
(Members, Jurisdiction)
Sub-Committee on Health Care
Sub-Committee on International Trade
Sub-Committee on Social Security and Family Policy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Relations
(Members, Jurisdiction)
Sub-Committee on East Asian and Pacific Affairs Ranking Member
Sub-Committee on European Affairs
Sub-Committee on Western Hemisphere, Peace Corps & Narcotics Affairs

I think some of those friggin committee assignments might have something to do with the damn war in Iraq (Foreign Relations) which could be a big issue, Social Security (gee, that's been in the news lately, wonder why), health care (We still have health care in the good ole USA?), international trade (NAFTA, Outsourcing, F*ck..... I think I'm sensing a pattern here.)

And so forth. Relevency is not his friggin problem. Tell these people to buy a clue. Honestly, you are not responsible for other people's stupidity. Just remind them of the assignments, what they friggin deal with and let the light slowly dawn on them. JK ain't going anywhere. (To hell with the naysayers --- :spank:)

:headbang: Oh yeah, oh yeah, My Senator rocks!

15. Whew! I know he was a workaholic, but this is
some serious business here. How can he keep track of it all? Besides being a genius...?

2. not too sure about that
i see a lot of stupid Kerry bashing on threads.

i think there are just people responding to the latest vote and those who don't hate Kerry are just responding positively to that vote.

but there is still a lot of crap.

i think the best is to ignore some of them since i remember someone started some stupid anti Kerry thread a while ago and nobody really responded and it just dropped off without much response.

and i didn't really find the stupid thread about Kerry's spine very positive. if anyone had been paying attention they would know Kerry is doing the same thing he has always done.

3. also
Edited on Thu Feb-03-05 06:22 PM by JI7
i don't see the latest Gonzales and Rice votes as being one of "bravery or guts or spine" or anything like that. Kerry voted against Ashcroft and Clarence Thomas also. to me he is just doing what he has always done.

as sandnsea said on that other thread the IWR vote showed spine of any votes considering all the crap he got from people on BOTH sides. and he never changed his position. his position was the same before the iwr vote and after it.

he knew the sanctions were hurting the Iraqi people . getting inspectors in and keeping a check on Saddam would have allowed to get rid of the sanctions and help improve the lives of the Iraqi people.

it's amazing that Barbara Boxer can get it while those who praise her can't seem to get it. she called out the Bush administration on what they said and held them accountable. she didn't rant about how Bush is a liar and nobody should trust him and all that crap. she brought up evidence, she brought up what they said about IWR and how THEY didn't follow up with what it was about.

and if you want to talk about being anti war, what Kerry did during Vietnam showed what a person with spine does when they are anti war.

14. I have the wet bare shoulders
pix on my desktop and a blowup of same on the wall, where I planted a big pink lipsticked kiss. I'm telling you I get dizzy and electricity shoots up my neck whenever I look at it. WTH? This has never happened to me before. And it doesn't seem to be dissipating. He has ruined me for any other man ... none will stack up to his masculine perfection. D ; )
