Will Kerry win the Massachusetts primary?
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 04:06 PM by NJSecularist
He faces opposition from defense attorney Edward O'reilly. Will he win the Mass. primary? In August of 2007 he had a 45% disapproval rating.

2. He is being put down by you
just because you bitter. I'm sorry that he didn't endorse your candidate, BTW. I see it bothers you enough to spill venom.

11. The establishment in DC were the ones working AGAINST Kerry's investigations
and always wanted him out of DC because he uncovered more government corruption than any lawmaker in modern history.

What makes you think this O'Reilly guy isn't with the same group who pushed John O'Neill onto the scene?

Some of you need to spend some time perusing the National Security Archives and the congressional record.

23. Obviously you've never read a single congressional report or a book on BCCI
or IranContra.

7. You should BEG him to stay. What level of fascism would this nation be at today if Kerry hadn't
upset their plans by uncovering IranContra, BCCI and CIA drugrunning operations in the 80s and 90s?

You think that was some small feat?

I'm just afraid he might lose in the primary. Or lose to a repuke in the general election.

18. Never happen. The guy has had more negative spin from corpmedia than any
other Dem for 35 years. People believe anything for the time when the spin is setting in, but then it comes time for the debates and when voters REALLY focus on what he is saying and what he has done, they vote for him.

That's why the corpmedia works overtime to attack him while they can.

Been going on for decades.

12. Kerry is not very important, His loss in 04 was his fault,
Seriously why do people insist on trying the same old groups.

Clintons actually won something...Kennedy and Kerry are nationally an embarrassment.
There losses are easily an established pattern and there nation wide unpopularity is staggering.

14. Kerry actually won something too, in 2004.
The evidence is there.

You choose to ignore it.

And by the way, Bill Clinton won something nationally.

Hillary hasn't yet.

And nice job attacking other Democrats.

22. Clinton won in 92 BECAUSE Kerry uncovered IranContra and BCCI and those bad
headlines for Poppy Bush drove his poll numbers way down.

Kerry's BCCI report was scheduled for release in Dec 1992 and Bushies expected to be impeached. Jackson Stephens stepped in and bankrolled Bill Clinton's campaign. GHWBush proceeded to run the worst campaign ever.

So....what happened to that BCCI report Bill Clinton was handed when he took office?

What happened throughout the 90s to bring named BCCI figures to account or even further scrutiny? Figures like Jackson Stephens, Marc Rich, James Bath, AQ Khan, Bin Ladens, Dubai and Saudi royals, Adnan Kashoggi, and scores more?

16. So what he has opposition? He'll wipe the floor with this guy.
Senator Kerry's service to this country will carry him to victory!

17. I thought he would win too
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 04:21 PM by NJSecularist
I was just curious what everybody else thought.

I love Senator Kerry, he's one of the best assets in the Senate we have and a great man.

25. They had an article, and I am pretty sure it was HuffPuff
that said before he endorse Obama he was having a hard time with support. And the writer said that after the endorsement it dropped more. I don't know any thing about Mass. But I believe it. The people there are not American Idol fans.
