Dump John Kerry -- Warmonger

[unfrigginreal]

March 1,1998-- How sad to see a once-promising public figure degenerate. John Kerry, the junior U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, first got public notice as an antiwar Vietnam veteran. As a former Navy officer who had led patrols in the Mekong Delta, he offered a telling voice against that genocidal war. With his flair for publicity, he was able to go from protest to politics, ending up as a senator.

Kerry has done a number of questionable things during his years in the Senate, but has always retained a certain amount of nostalgic support in the left. Now, however, he has gone too far. Kerry's statements on the present Iraq crisis have put him out in front of the right wing crowd crying to unleash the dogs of war on the innocent civilians of Iraq.

On February 23, while the world breathed a sigh of relief that U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan had pulled the U.S. and Iraq back from the brink of war, Clinton administration officials--no doubt feeling the pressure from the antiwar protests--said that they would "withhold judgment" until they saw the details of what Annan had negotiated. Senator Kerry felt not such qualms. He went on ABC to denounce the settlement, unread, as " a disconnect between the depth of the threat that Saddam Hussein presents to the world and what we are at the moment talking about doing" (New York Times, February 23, 1998).

2. Dont be stupid Du'ers

This "unfrigginreal" has posted numerous anti Kerry threads. His point:

1) He is a GOP Supporter.

2) He understands that Kerry is the worst guy for Bush to run against.

3) He has learned from the California Governors race that picking your opponent is a very good political move.

4) He knows that Dean has no chance against Bush. NO CHANCE.

5) He wants to start a Pro Dean movement in DU..just like Rove has ADMITTED he is doing on the street. " Yeah that’s the guy we want"...Rove speaking of Dean.

Unfriggenreal knows well that Kerry is a very decisive and credible man. So...call him "wishy washy". As our poster has done in many threads. Like all Pugs he will you call you a liar if he is getting ready to lie and "wishy washy" if you are anything but that. Look back at how Gore was gored in 2000...familiar smell?

Dean is a good man. So was Cleland. So was McCain. Wake up.

5) He wants to start a Pro Dean movement in DU..just like Rove has ADMITTED he is doing on the street. " Yeah that’s the guy we want"...Rove speaking of Dean.

taking Karl Rove at face value. brilliant. if anything this suggests that Dean is the man Rove fears most.

4. Makes me wonder about your affiliations?

I'll stand by mine, thank you. I'm a donor to Bartcop and a donor to Guy James. I would NOT have posted those threads if you folks would have reigned in the loose cannons that you have trolling this forum posting anti-Dean crap. If you think I'm lying, then take a look at the post I made to Ask The Administrators prior to posting anything negative about Kerry.

I shouldn't have to justify my credentials to you...and as a matter of fact I'm done with it.

I'm not going away pardner, so you better make up YOUR mind if you folks want to keep this nasty or would rather that we each PROMOTE our candidates.

5. IMHO, if you are going to escalate in retaliation for

Nicholas_J's smears, I suggest that you post them in the forum that Nicholas_J is posting his smears:

Politics and Campaigns

At least, this way, he'll be more likely to see them, and the smears on both candidates will be limited, more or less, to one forum.
