Kerrey not hushing talk on possible Senate bid
BY ROBYNN TYSVER
WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER

Bob Kerrey is once again playing the political flirt.

The former Nebraska governor and senator is showing just enough skin, and making all the right moves, to give supporters hope that he will return to the state and run for U.S. Senate.

He has paid for a survey to gauge support for a possible run. He is dropping in on old friends and supporters this weekend in Nebraska. And he recently jumped into the debate on the Iraq war with his public support for the U.S. mission there.

Kerrey seemed at ease Saturday night in front of the cameras, joking with reporters before speaking to about 500 Democrats at an Omaha fundraising dinner.

1. Bob Kerrey

He would make a good candidate.

[acmavm]

2. No. He would not. His phoniness and dishonesty would be just one more

shameful political sick joke in a state that's been used and abused by professional liars and supported by what apparently has been a state of professional idiots.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Nein. Nyet. No, no, no.

He would not. If Mike Fahey or some other worthy Dem is not going to run, and it's just Kerrey, I'm staying home. I won't vote for Lieberkerrey. I'd vote for Hagel over him.

[0007]

4. Kerrey would be ten times better than Ben Nelson for sure!!

Kerrey became involved in convincing his friend and fellow Vietnam Vet, James Webb, to run for the US Senate. Webb entered the Virginia Democratic Primary, and Kerrey volunteered to serve as Webb's National Finance Chair.

Kerrey was a member of the "9/11 Commission"), where he accused Madeleine Albright, William Cohen, and Donald Rumsfeld of pursuing US interests with insufficient aggression.

5. "...Iraq war with his public support for the U.S. mission there."

Nope, nup, !Que NO!

[0007]

29. Your right and I was wrong......

Fuck Bob Kerrey

Kerrey: No Apologies For Pro-War Stand

June 23, 2007 11:16 PM

Omaha, Ne.- Nebraska Democrats opposed to the war in Iraq are being asked to think again.

And it's one of the state's favorite Democrats doing the asking.

While former Senator Bob Kerrey continues to play wait and see regarding a possible run for the Senate next year, when it comes to the war Kerrey's mind is definitely made up. He's convinced the United States should be in Iraq, despite what many in his own party are saying.

Kerrey tells Action 3 News, "I don't want to get lost in the hell no we won't go, bring 'em all home rhetoric." Kerrey admits that some Democrats have wondered why he's backing President Bush, but Kerrey says, "I'm not siding with George Bush. We're so mad at the President for the language and the action and the incompetence that we get confused about what's going on in Iraq. It's liberals who are dying in Iraq. It's school teachers, and principals, and police officers and people who are joining the government, aid workers."

7. Aw, Jesus. STFU and go back to NYC and leave us alone, Lieberkerrey.

[Exiled in America]

8. He is an example of the most frustrating kind of "liberal."

Machine gun liberals who tend to be more socially progressive on basic issues, but who have this fucked up sense of vision when it comes to the "american dream" and think we should spread our "ways" around the world, using force.

It's the whole "they'll thank us when we win" mentality.

OR, you have the new breed of democrats that truly are so ignorant about geo-politics that they actually buy into the mass hysteria that says if we don't take over the world the terrorist will get us.

Never mind the fact that it doesn't take a genius to see that our aggressive foreign policy is the thing making us most INSECURE and most vulnerable to violent reprisal.

[Warren Stupidity]

9. Kerrey: another Lieberman.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.

[gratuitous]

10. gratuitous: No Apologies For Condemning Idiots

Give it up, Mr. Kerrey. No matter how many times you jam that fork into the electrical outlet, you will never poop out a pill that cures cancer. But your odds of doing that are slightly better than the United States achieving any sort of positive result from its little adventure in imperialism.

[acmavm]

11. Dumb son-of-a-bitch. They wouldn't be dying if not for a war started

over oil promoted by lies.

Mother F**ker just talks like this because he's a friggin' war criminal himself.

edit: What would one expect but this from a lying bastard clown who covered for the administration on the 911 panel?

GOOD GRIEF THIS STATE PUKES OUT SOME WORTHLESS CRAP POLITICIANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LibDemAlways]

12. Kerrey's participation on the bogus 9/11 panel says it all -

corrupt, useless DINO.

[LynnTheDem]

13. No apologies for an illegal "supreme crime" war of aggression slaughter?

Now the 78% of Americans opposed to the illegal "supreme crime" war of aggression slaughter know who else not to vote for. Ever.

[wtmusic]

14. And Kerrey honestly believes it too

The rational disconnect is astounding. And frightening.

[ShortnFiery]

26. But Kerrey's wealth management portfolio I'd bet is chock full of Military Industrial Type Stocks.

Kerrey KNOWS who he's working for.

[Joe Bacon]

15. One LIEberman in the Senate is enough

We don't need two.

[ixion]

16. when Kerry was governor of NE

I used to sit and have beers with him occasionally when he'd show up downtown at the local pubs in Lincoln. I found him very down-to-earth, and gained great respect for him.

When he went to DC, I watched with horror as he became just another POS pol.

Looks like the transformation is now complete.

[HughBeaumont]

17. Get these goddamned blood-on-their-hands "Dems" the hell out of the party.

You side with the Cabal, you ARE the CABAL. Supporting a bloodbath is reprehensible; even more so when you consider that not ONE tenet of The Constitution is being preserved or solidified as a result of it's continuation. There is no mission, there is no end. Institute a gradual exit plan now before more soldiers are maimed and killed. Assholes.

[Bob3]

18. god in heaven am i sick to death of being lectured by mushwits

with god damn blood on their hands. Bob - everybody is dying in Iraq - from little children to old men - and it's a horror we unleased thanks to jackoff's like you. there are no good choices left but at least we can stop doing damage to ourselves and the IRaqi people if we get out.

we. Want. Out. Now.

And for fucks sake the american people are not going to vote in a * lite Iraq cheerleader in 2008 - so Bob forget your damned poltical ambitions - take the K street job you earned with you lapdog work.

[rodeodance]

19. Two Nebraska soldiers laid to rest

[Algorem]

20. hey hey bob ker-ray how many liberals did you kill today?

[IndianaGreen]

21. Bob Kerrey has not apologized for the war crimes committed by his SEAL team under his command

I guess all that Vietnamese blood he spilled in that village did not satisfy his blood lust, so now he wants to fight his Vietnam demons by spilling Iraqi blood.

Send him back to New York!

[MrSlayer]

22. As a veteran and a CMH winner, he should know better.

To say I'm disappointed with Kerrey's stance here would be an understatement.

[rcdean]

23. Hey, Bob. Why not switch parties and run for CT Senator against Holy Joe!

That would give a Democrat the election, and fortify both of their sad, pathetic, withered souls.

I am astonished by the ignorance of fellow Nam vets who cannot grasp--after that indelible learning experience--that:
1) The ONLY way to WIN a guerrilla war is to win the "hearts and minds" of the people.
2) People hate occupiers, esp when they employ policies resulting in terrorizing the citizenry, destroying their infrastructure, and eviscerating their economy.

[Maat]

24. Well-said,

only I don't think that there's any hope for either Lieberman or Kerrey (in terms of the 'soul' thing).

[Orsino]

25. Is it corruption, or is he just an incredibly slow learner? n/t

[fooj]

28. He's designated to be the "keeper of all things NEBRASKA"

Keep the lid on it, that is. He's as dirty as they come. Ugh.

[mmonk]

27. Who is his opponent in the primaries?

Kerrey is a bad choice.

[UTUSN]

30. Message to Bob: If you don't have the message, I don't have a message for you. n/t

[TheFarseer]

31. I'd rather see Kleeb

Is Kerrey even preferable to Hagel?

[eagler]

32. When the distrust and the hatred for this nation grows stronger everyday

because of this war,i do not see how anyone can justify our continued presence there. We could do a much better job of containing Iraq than occupying Iraq.
