8. The notion that he didn't is completely insane

Dec 2012

Kerry WANTS the job and has played hardball politics his entire life. He got down and dirty in Iowa during the 2004 campaign and played some of the hardest hardball politics ever. He has NEVER been above knifing a member of his own party in the back to get what he wants.

On top of that, his associations with McCain, Graham, and Collins goes back decades.

The Senate is an "old boys club". Associations are more important in back room dealings than party.

Don't put such romantic notions on politicians. They are all a viscious subspecies of Homo Sapiens and none are above stabbing their own in the back to get what they want.

ON EDIT: I would further note the way ALL of the GOP Senators dragging down Rice were quick to announce how much they would support John Kerry for the job.

Also, Rice is NOT a member of the president's cabinet. Her post is NOT that high. She is ambassador to the UN, not a Cabinet secretary.
