Reply #156: I hate to point this out but your post makes it obvious you know very little about John Kerry .

"Always rich"? Were you aware he wore hand me down clothing and an Aunt had to pay for his schooling? As a young Senator after his first marriage ended, Kerry was so poor he had no place to live and crashed at friends apartments. People bought him food to make sure he ate.Kerry's father was a civil servant and his mother a housewife.His mother was from an aristocratic family but the Kerry family had NO money. And as far as inspring people,Kerry's 1971 speech before Congress is still one of the most inspirational ever given.
