Why John Kerry Is Losing Democrats

By Max Burns

Sept. 13, 2004

This election has hit a new political low. It cannot even be called political at this point, and saying it is a low would signify that there is no room to sink further. All of the smear and trash from both sides, I say both side to remain as nonpartisan as I can, has disenchanted more voters than any campaign before. The smear attack against Andrew Jackson wasn’t even this low.

What does it say about the state of our Union when Vietnam, a war that has been over for thirty years, is still a major campaign issue?

1. So I saw a "Former Republican for Kerry" bumpersticker this weekend

and you?

[LittleClarkie]

14. I'm on a yahoo group with 750 members: Repubs for Kerry

They're not "former," they want their party back dagnabit!

One of the guys I go to church with used to be a Barry Goldwater conservative. This is NOT his party any more, he says.

2. Your on a BIG negative roll ...

Really: you havent said one good thing since you have been here ....

How long will this go on ? ...

5. Huh, huh, you said "negative troll", huh,huh.

Er, "roll", sorry.

[DBtv]

3. Johnny K tells the truth, busholini lies. Who is lower?

And why do you bring this publican trash propaganda in here?

[movonne]

4. Maybe not a liberal til she dies.

[Plaid Adder]

6. Funny, I was just reading a thread over in LBN where some idiot

was claiming that Bush is going to take the African-American vote too. Can't remember the handle of the poster...give me a minute...it'll come to me...

Get real,

The Plaid Adder

[JI7]

13. yup, i remember that one

[fairfaxvadem]

7. And to whom, exactly, is John Kerry losing Dems to?

Bush? Nader? Dems who "all of a sudden" are deciding they'd rather not vote than vote for Kerry?

This is my 2nd "Give me a GD break" today.

What crap.

[sniffa]

8. garbage

he's Losing dems, and they're aLL going over to the darkside.

:eyes:

how is it, that a "registered dem" cLaims to not know kerry's issues? in his opinion, he's aLready hinting at not supporting kerry. he can go fuck himseLf.

9. "What does it say about the state of our Union

when Vietnam, a war that has been over for thirty years, is still a major campaign issue?"

That Karl Rove has way too much influence over US politics and media?

:shrug:

[russian33]

10. yeah, he is, and i'm still crying that we lost Zell Miller...

..there's a true democrat if there was one

[wryter2000]

11. WTF?

Not to yell at you, liberal til I die, but I've about had a gulletful of these idjit "Kerry is doomed" stories. Front page of the SF Chronicle today was about the Kerry campaign taking a beating recently. This, imho, is the democratic version of "Kerry's a flip-flopper." A meaningless sound-bite designed to make the speaker sound clever. It's a bunch of hooey.

Hellooooo! Kitty Kelley's book is out today. Late last week and now this week, reputable news organizations are inspecting *'s guard records and finding that no way in Hades did the chimpster do his duty. So, tell me Kerry's getting pounded??? Only in the overheated brains of pundits with a bit too much self-esteem.

Now, Kerry losing democrats? Fuggedaboutit. * is losing republicans, independents, Log Cabin Republicans and everyone else who isn't a mouth-breathing cave dweller.

12. John Kerry is Winning More democrats...with lots of rethugs turning

to compassionate government.....

the title of the web site says it all...it is useless and probably does not belong on a pro kerry message board

[Burma Jones]

15. Max Burns is an INDIANA Democrat, hell, that's almost Republican

I would like to know just WHICH Democrats Kerry is losing.

Also, I would bet a month's salary that the turnout for the 2004 election will be greater than any over the last 30 years, so I don't think there's a lot of disenchantment going on.

Although, I do agree that this campaign is as nasty as they get, well lately. Mr. Burns needs to look at what was done to Thomas Jefferson, and he needs to take a look at the Hamilton - Burr duel and the rationale behind it.

16. Enough of this.

I'm locking.
