1. Aw the corporate-whore DLC sellout swine

:eyes:

Nice list. It matches his record, which matched his platform. Amazing!

[GRLMGC]

2. "corporate-whore DLC sellout swine"

Haha. Ain't that the truth, that "darling of the corporations".

Such bullshit. I'm glad not everyone is that insane.

[angrydemocrat]

3. I'm Trying To Lay It All Out

For people to see and understand what Kerry is all about. I get so damn pissed when people act like this man hasn't done anything worth talking about or how he is against small businesses. Damn does it ever piss me off these people need to wake their lazy asses up and do their homework and find out what he truly is about! I get so tired and so pissed at people bashing this man the way they do. especially when the majority truly don't realize who they are bashing. It truly gets old! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[GRLMGC]

4. Nah, they're too lazy

They need someone to be really loud and capture their attention rather than doing any real research.

[angrydemocrat]

5. Unfortunately

Some are to damn lazy to find out the truth and that's sad. It really amazes me at how stupid some people really are and how lazy they are. I don't me that in a bad way but you must admit its the facts. And the Deaniacs, OMG you tell them something about Kerry and they won't believe it and they try to make out like Dean is so great, he would have won, Dean knows how to win, BLAH BLAH BLAH. The answer to that is "it's nothing but pure bullshit that and they are living in a fantasy world, and need to take the blinders off and come back to reality because Dean lost a long time ago and if he was so damn good and could have won he would have won the primaries." But guess what Deaniacs he lost your man couldn't even win the primaries and without even being able to win the primaries then he sure as hell couldn't win the presidential election, thats the facts and reality.

And last don't be trying to compair Dean to Kerry. Because the facts speak for themselves Mr.Dean may be a good man but he will never be or even come close to the man and all the achievements that have have been accomplished by John Kerry. He's a little to late make up for all the lost time he would need to be accomplish what Kerry has done for his country, and all the American people. John Kerry has worked for his country and the American people all his life. So wether or not you Deaniacs want to face reality or continue to live in a fantasy land the facts speak for themselves Howard Dean will never be a John Kerry. And before spewing your garbage and Repuke talking points about Kerry you need to do your homework and learn what you are talking about because it is so obvious you don't.

It is a sad day for Democrats when so many in our own party won't face reality, and would rather eat their own instead. It is a sad day when so many refuse to take off the blinders, swallow a little pride, and realize what this country needs the most is a real leader that understands what this country and all it's people need and want, a leader that understands what war truly does to those who fight and live it, as well as what war does to your country and your country's people because anytime their is war it effects everyone, a leader that understands and has been there and fought against the crooked baccarats and politicians of Washington in order to put the good and well being of the American people first, A leader that understands all Americans have rights and has fought for those rights even when they knew they would catch hell or it might put a black mark against his own career or name, a leader that understands that realizes women as well as men deserve equal rights and has fought to make sure this happens, a leader who realizes health care and getting the best education possible is a right as a American not something the assholes in Washington should be able to control and say who deserves it and who don't, a leader that truly understands America and has experience dealing with foreign affairs and understands how to talk and deal with other countries and always do what is in the best interest of America and its people not the the pocketbooks of the wealthiest crooks in this country, a true leader that can restore peace and prosperity and restore the name of America as the greatest country in world that others look up to.

That leader is staring everyone straight in the face. That leader is John Kerry. And to all of those who choose to continue to live in a fantasy world and not realize when you fall down that is not the end of the fight, in fact that is when you should be getting pissed more and get up off your ass and fight that much harder, it will continue to be a sad day for all those involved in the party and the country, because this country didn't become the country it is and about all it is about from people sitting on their ass trying to bring down the others that have worked so hard and fought for this great country of ours and for all the people in this great country of ours. If we expect to get our country back, to restore peace and prosperity, and to have this country once again respected at home as well as the rest of the world it will take all of us standing up fighting and helping to get the leader we need in order to do what we all want so much. So hopefully people will take off the blinders, learn from the mistakes we have all made and fight like hell to make sure this doesn't happen again. And most of all fight to get the leader this country so desperately needs, Mr. John Forbes Kerry!

6. OMG I'm Sorry For The Long Speech

I didn't realize how much I had wrote until I finished. Sometimes I get stuff on my mind and just have to say. Because these people truly piss me off and its almost like you feel as if you have to literally smear their faces in the truth to get them to listen. And the hell of it the is some still won't listen.:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[GRLMGC]

7. It's okay

That was awesome :)

[TayTay]

9. In a way this is almost funny (Almost)

I have heard the Deaniacs (not Dr. Dean himself) criticize Kerry because he was a 'go along Democrat.' Yet the criticism of Kerry in Massachusetts all these long years has always been that he wasn't involved enough in the mainstream of the Dem Party and was too much of a maverick. As far back as the mid 80's, Kerry was criticized for trying too hard to affect change by his investigations. He was told not to rock the boat so hard and that 'his time would come.'

I like Howard Dean, I think he has some good points, but his temper and inexperience on the national scene did him in. It would be nice to have Dr. Dean on the Dem team. He has a base in the party and has some good ideas. Why those ideas have to be the only ideas is beyond me. I really think that 'Messianic' candidates are part of the problem. We don't have infallible leaders and we should be able to unite around good ideas no matter who comes up with them. And Dems who have fought the good fight for years should be respected for that, not criticized.

[JohnKleeb]

10. That is funny

Whats also funny to me is reading that Kerry was vetted for VP by Clinton and Gore and ended up not being chosen by Clinton because of his vote against the first gulf war and his overall liberalism and not chosen by Gore because of being more liberal. Funny isn't it, I like Gore but he is more moderate than Kerry and in his days as a congressman was a big hawk.

[TayTay]

11. True, here's the poem

Sen. Kerry at the 1996 St. Patricks' Day breakfast in Boston:

"I heard someone in the White House called me a snore,
and it turned out to be none other than the veep, Al Gore.
Al, what do you do when you're called so unmerry?
I say, things could be worse. I could be John Kerry."(laughter)

from: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/election/june96/massachusetts_6-5.html

[angrydemocrat]

12. LMAO!!

"I say, things could be worse. I could be John Kerry." LMAO that's funny as hell I think. My hero is wild when he wants to be LOL. I guess that is one of the things a love about him so much he is a very honest and serious man when he has to be, but yet he is wild and fun at the same time. I don't know where people get aloof at that is the most distorted bullshit there ever was when it comes to this man. I think some people are just scared of a real man when they are confronted by one LOL.

Thank You again Tay Tay for making me laugh so hard. As far as Dean goes I do like him and also feel he has some good qualities it mostly the Deaniacs that drive you nuts. But I do stand by what I said about the fact Mr. Dean is no John Kerry and never will be. Those are shoes he could never fill and even if he got in them he couldn't make it around the block in them. I know I myself am Kerry crazy but the facts are the facts and speak for themselves on that issue. That in no way is saying Dean isn't a important part of the Democratic party and doesn't have good ideas on some things because he does. All it is saying is Dean is not the answer for the leadership this country needs and he doesn't have the experience, patience, nor the qualities we need in a leader that will have to face the crisis this country is in head on when they are called to duty by the American people. As I described in my earlier post in what we need in a leader now in order to get this country back where we are stronger at home and respected in the world, people have to face it Dean doesn't match that at all. Regardless of how well liked and yes even with his good qualities, this is by no means his time to report to duty. Right now we need John Kerry reporting for duty. The others are stand by orders waiting to be called up later.

[JohnKleeb]

14. haha thats great

I do know that Clinton picked Gore as his running mate in part being of Gore being one of the few democrats to support Poppy Bush's Gulf War, and his more worldlyness cost him being selected by Gore compared to the more religious Joe Lieberman. But then, he votes for IWR and he's regarded as a Bushlite because of this even though he pressed hard for Bush to make it the last opition. I wasnt dissing Gore for being hawkish but he as a congressman and in his 1988 run in the dem primaries was a different guy.

[angrydemocrat]

13. Leave It Up To Tay Tay

She always comes up with something good and will make you LMAO. But I have to say Kerry is wild when he wants to be. There is nothing aloof about this man, hell I wish I could go riding on his Harley with him. Because I like living dangerous and I love the speed and air hitting you when you go riding on motorcycles. Hell Kerry is my kind of man!

[TayTay]

23. Thank you, Thank you very much!

As I have said before, there have been a lot of appearances over the years that have made me smile. Lots of good humor and singing. In 1997, then MA Gov. Weld and Kerry both appeared at the St. Pat's Breakfast. (Weld was rich, incredibly intelligent and perceived as a Brahmin pol.) Weld, who had lost to Kerry in the 1996 Senate race, appeared wearing a 'Kerry for Senate button' and he and Kerry sang a duet, arm in arm, to the tune of "Side by Side":

"Just because we don't sweat for a dollar/doesn't mean we're stiff as our collar. . . ."

As you can no doubt tell by now, I really really like the singing, the self-deprecating humor and having the moxie to appear at these forums and trade jokes. It is fun and politics should be many things, among them, fun!

[LittleClarkie]

15. re: what you said about people being lazy

I do wonder where they're getting their news. Or do they think they were born knowing all they needed.

It's as if they say to themselves that if someone is a career politician, that they already know everything about that person without looking.

Someone I know who voted Green in 2000 was reading some book about campaign finance, and said that I should hear what Kerry had done in that regard. I can only imagine what he'd have to do to keep up. Sort of like steroids in sports. It's not fair, but if you want to keep up with those using (back when they were getting away with it, that is) you had to use too. The playing field isn't even.

I wonder if some of the people here at DU get their news from Counterpunch or something. Damn, they never took the time at all to look at Kerry. Or if they did, they discounted all the good bits.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, I had to change my Kerry supporter site. It's now more like this place. The other site's free host crashed. I'm on proboards now. Still free, hee hee!

[WildEyedLiberal]

16. Where's the link to your site?

Your thing in your sig line isn't clickable, for me. I wants to check it out.

[LittleClarkie]

17. Here's a direct link

http://kerrycrat.proboards38.com/index.cgi

Are you using Modzilla Foxfire or something? That's the only time I can't click on my own link.

[WildEyedLiberal]

18. Netscape

Odd. Thanks anyways. It doesn't even show up as clickable for me.

[LittleClarkie]

19. Can you copy and paste the link I just put there?

Otherwise, I think the link is also in my profile. Or will be in a minute...

[WildEyedLiberal]

20. Copy paste it where?

In a post?



http://kerrycrat.proboards38.com/index.cgi

Do you use IE or something? IE hates me, so maybe that's it.

[LittleClarkie]

24. IE, yes

Evil Microsoft product

The link in my post should be copy and paste-able in your address or url window.

Eh I'll figure out something. I don't want to leave out the Modzilla and Netscape people. I used to love Netscape. I was sorry when they lost the browser war.

[angrydemocrat]

22. I added your site to my favorites list

I will start going there sometimes after I finish up some of the work I'm trying to get done here. I like the picture you have of him there.

[LittleClarkie]

25. Thanks. I still need to write that artist

to ask her if my usage is okay, and to let her know how much everyone loves that picture.

Eh, it's not much really. But I discovered that guests can go ahead and post without joining, (well, for now, until the freepers get out of hand).

If you want a permanent home for the Kerry history series, we can put it there for reference. Perhaps just as a backup. I don't want to bogart it away from here.

[angrydemocrat]

26. That's A Good Idea

I'm not a computer whiz or anything so if you can somehow post the links on your sites to the imformation that would be great. I say the more people that are to see the better. Again Thanks.

[angrydemocrat]

21. LittleClarkie

What I'm talking about people being lazy is where you have so many telling out and out garbage, spewing their repuke taking points about this man where if they would only look for the truth themselves they would know. But there are so many that are to lazy to take the time to find out the truth and they believe everything they are told by others with no proof to back it up or the believe everything they here on TV. It is crazy the way people are constantly spewing out bullshit about this man. I get so damn sick of it. And I feel it is time to put the facts on the table and prove these people to be the fools they are. Hell even those of us that are Kerry crazy know he isn't perfect but for that matter who the hell is. But it is time for the all the bullshit lies to stop.

Sure not everyone will like him but not liking him and telling flat ass out lies about him is another. Its time to prove the fools to be exactly what they are a bunch of damn fools that won't face reality and in trying to make their man look good they are lying and smearing another. But when the facts stare them in the face it a little harder to lie about it. I will be the first to say Kerry isn't perfect in the fact that he has made mistakes but I will also say he is the one that has the better qualifications and the better knowledge to make the better leader for this country especially with the country in the shape it is in. And thats fact because as I said nobody is perfect and they all have made mistakes. I think it is important to look at what they have already accomplished, look at the fact if they have already proven they have the skills and leadership to do whats right country and it's people, look at what the stand for, and even with the country being in the mess it is today would they be able to have the skill, strength, and knowledge to lead this country. Would they have the ability and knowledge to work with other country's to restore this country's respest.

[JohnKleeb]
