YOU GO BIG JOHN... KERRY SOUNDS LIKE HE'S RUNNING AGAIN
Advertisements [?]
Of course he did not come right out and toss his Navy cap into the ring but he DID say, "I'm thinking seriously about running!"

SWIFT BOAT THIS REPUBLICAN COWARDS!




He adds all the issues (like affordable health-care for America) he ran on before are even bigger today. That man is a true patriot. Insead of offering his stellar military record, however, let's just look at him as an individual.

Critics attack him because he is intelligent and DECISIVE enough to change his mind when new information comes to light. The beauty of decisiveness is that when those who possess this trait make a poor choice, they have an ability to change the decision quickly and create a favorable outcome. This man has both the desire and ability to create new options for America, instead of "staying the course" like a coward who never led anything other than a coke party, before he bought an election in Texas.

While I'm not much of a country fan, I like Johnny Cash, so I reworked a song of his for BIG JOHN KERRY.

Ev'ry mornin' in the Senate you could see him arrive
He stood six foot six and weighed two forty five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip
And everybody knew ya didn't give no lip to Big John.
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Nobody seemed to know where John might stand
but you can damn well bet he'll stand up for our land
When it comes to hard issues that man's not shy
And if the crooks speak at all they just "Hi" to Big John.

Somebody said he fought in Nam I think
Where he pulled a fellow patriot out of the drink
And a crashin' blast from a huge right hand
Sent a Viet Cong fellow to the Promised Land, Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Miners were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd
Breathed their last-'cept John

Through the dust and the smoke of this man-made hell
Walked a giant of a man that the miners knew well
Grabbed a saggin' timber, gave out with a groan
And like a giant oak tree he just stood there alone, Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

And with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove
Then a miner yelled out "There's a light up above!"
And twenty men scrambled from a would-be grave
Now there's only one left down there to save, Big John

With jacks and timbers they started back down
Then came that rumble way down in the ground
And then smoke and gas belched out of that mine
Everybody knew it was the end of the line for Big John
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)

Now, they never reopened that worthless pit
They just placed a marble stand in front of it
These few words are written on that stand
"At the bottom of this mine lies one hell of a man, Big John"
Big John, Big John, Big Bad John (Big John)
