What the right said about Kerry having a rich wife. In case you forgot.

[Hamlette]

Joseph Farah, World Net Daily, “President Gigolo?”:

But if there is one characteristic of Kerry’s life that should disqualify him absolutely as a candidate for president, it is the fact that he has sought out millionaire wives to take care of him. Not to put too fine a point on it, he’s a serial gigolo.

Let me ask you this: How many single women do you know worth a hundred million dollars or more? . . . After raising children with her, Kerry sought and received an annulment of that long-term marriage. Then he married Teresa Heinz Kerry, the widow of a Senate colleague five years his senior. She is worth approximately $500 million.

Is marrying well good preparation for serving as the president of the United States? . . . . He’s always had a net underneath him throughout his political career—in his case, a net woven of homespun 24K gold.

Rush Limbaugh Online, “John Kerry’s Resume”:

has lived the life of a millionaire living off the inherited wealth of his two wives. As an Ivy League educated millionaire who did not have to work for his fortune, Mr. Kerry never had to worry about the money he earned, the taxes he paid, or the programs he and Ted Kennedy forced the rest of us to pay for. . . . Mr. Kerry Heinz is not effected (sic) when these neighborhoods are destroyed and working class families lose the largest asset in their retirement plans—their home’s value.

1. This is great. Just replace all Kerry with McCain...and...

Send it out to the media, the pundits, the Limpballs and Insanity's of the world.

[Qutzupalotl]

5. And replace "5 years his senior" with

"20 years his junior" or "who makes him look like a lecherous creep."

[rurallib]

2. Marrying for money is perfectly acceptable If Your A Republican!

[blm]

3. Kerry worked every day of his adult life and ACHIEVED on his own what GOPs need fathers and wives

to accomplish for them. Like Bush and McCain.

4. Oh hell yeah. My RW grandma sent me an email about Kerry's houses

It had a shot of each house, complete with location and description, painting Kerry as a rich, out of touch elitist.

6. More, from another site

Rush Limbaugh:

I mean, (Kerry)'s been there, but he's basically a skirt-chaser, folks. He's a gigolo. . . .Kerry is cheap. Most gigolos are. I mean -- I think it -- I think it goes with the, with the definition. . . .hat do you consider a fair wage? John Kerry considers a fair wage a wife with 500 million. So, he had to find a company that had one. Well, there aren't too many of these companies that have little heiresses running around that are single, have 500 million that some guy can marry into. . . .Because see, Al Gore's daddy was a senator and Al Gore's daddy worked his way up from wealth and power to wealth and power. I mean, he got more of it than anybody ever dreamed of for having as little to go on. I mean, he's one of those old boys. You know how that worked back then. Then John Kerry's daddy is his wives. (laughter) I mean, he's a gigolo. Everybody knows this. There's nobody in our party really has much respect for this guy and you can see it last night, but I can't say that. I mean, you got sugar daddy wife back then. You got sugar daddy wife now. He worked his way up from a blue blood to a platinum American Express card, and it doesn't have his name on it.

Hannity & Colmes:

ANN COULTER: John Kerry can't really speak to the middle class tax cuts, inasmuch as he is ...

SEAN HANNITY: Yes.

ANN COULTER: ... a kept man. He lives off the money made by other men and left to their daughters or wives.

Good Morning America:

CHARLES GIBSON: In going, in going through the book, John Kerry. You refer to him as a gigolo, the male Anna Nicole Smith . . . . What does that achieve, Ann?

ANN COULTER: Well, okay, then I don't want to hear him talk about a middle class tax cut when he has made his living living off rich women. I mean, it is simply a fact that he has married two heiresses. His specialty in life, I mean, if he has an economic plan, I think the one I'd like to hear about is how to snooker millionairesses into marrying me and living off them. I mean, that is not an, a, a trivial point.

9. Let's take this comparison a bit further

The Kerrys:

"I think culturally we're going through a huge change," Heinz Kerry said. "I look at it in a human context because I have friends in those situations, and it's terrible. All we owe people is dignity, respect and civil rights. I think the country will evolve."

"If you like the Bush tax cut and what it's done to our economy, making wealthier people wealthier and the average middle class struggle harder, then John McCain is going to give you a third term of George Bush and Karl Rove," the Massachusetts senator added.

The McCains:

Video: Countdown: Miss Buffalo Chip...Or Take My Wife Please!!

John McCain's temper is well documented. He's called opponents and colleagues "shitheads," "assholes" and in at least one case "a fucking jerk."...

Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

The McCain campaign had also put out the story that Mother Teresa "convinced" Cindy to bring home two orphans from Bangladesh in 1991.

Mrs. McCain, it turns out, never met Mother Teresa. (Once contacted by the Monitor, the campaign revised the story on its website.)

10. bullshit- Julia Kerry was the one who initiated their seperation

for one thing- and John didn't remarry until 7yrs after their divorce. He didn't even know Theresa when he was married to Julia.

As for wealth, JK is wealthy in his own right, he inherited part of the "Forbes" family wealth from his mother and other relatives- not a small 'inheritance'. He didn't need to 'go looking' for a wealthy heiress to support him- and he didn't dump his first wife for a rich trophy wife.

He also doesn't fight to avoid paying taxes which provide services for those less well off than he is (unlike McCain) or seek out tax cuts for people in his tax bracket- AGAIN unlike McCain.

Comparing McCain and Kerry is only important if you really look at the facts- and when you do, you'll see that McCain should consider himself deeply flattered to be mistaken for the true gentleman that John Kerry actually is. McCain doesn't have a fraction of the honor and authentic compassion that John Kerry does.

11. Thanks. It is getting tiring to see people comparing without realizing that there is no comparison.
