so is it time now to throw John Kerry under the bus?

[LSK]

I just want to be clear on my mindless attack orders.

:hide:

:sarcasm:


ps: I will not be doing that to him.

[bahrbearian]

1. I threw him under the bus , when he didn't call for an Ohio recount.

[midlife_mo_Jo]

5. ditto.

[Pierre.Suave]

2. I already did

A LOOOOOOONG time ago...

[Kikosexy2]

34. Read the Sibel Edmonds...

articles from her interview with the Sunday Times...looks like Mr. Kerry may have been blackmailed, which leads me to believe he didn't fight for a recount in '04 because of his connections with George H.W. Bush and his dirty deeds...

[marylanddem]

3. Nope. It's time to thank John Kerry for having the

political courage to help the right candidate.

[fightindonkey]

4. And Then Having To Back Down On His Supposed "Joke" About The Military?

[Occam Bandage]

8. Of all the things to attack John Kerry on, that's possibly the stupidest.

[Inuca]

17. One unbelievably idiotic comment

More to come, I am sure.

[dionysus]

23. wait wait, is that the joke hillary went to the press and stabbed him in the back over?

i've got a bigger shovel lying around here somewhere if you want it.

[midlife_mo_Jo]

12. What political courage?

He put his finger in the wind and figured out which way the wind is blowing. Besides, he's not going to support Edwards or Clinton, and now he gets to bloviate at a live press conference and try to gain some relevance for himself.

Real political courage would have been to fight in Ohio

[Tarc]

13. Maybe he's just voting for Obama now

before he decides to vote against him later.

[LSK]

16. thats a really stupid thing to say

To say such a thing demonstrates your complete ignorance of how the Senate works and that there are such things as different versions of bills.

[Tarc]

18. Don't be a jerk, please

I know full well how the Senate works, but for Kerry to not know how such a statement was going to be received while campaigning for President was disgustingly naive. I still voted for the man, but the inexperienced campaign blunders like that were tough to swallow.

[Inuca]

21. He was not naive

he mis-spoke, an awkwardly worded statement from a very tired man. It happens to anybody, and to Kerry less than to most. In any case, it makes no sense to rehash all this at this time.

[Occam Bandage]

6. Just like with the once-untouchable Dennis Kucinich, it seems so.

[AndyA]

7. Yeah, Kerry has pretty much shown his true colors.

After 2004, he just hasn't had much pull with me, and most people I know who supported him feel the same way.

All those people who supported him, stood in line to vote for him, donated their time and money...none of it really mattered, because he didn't even TRY to make sure the votes were counted. And we now know there were a LOT of discrepancies.

Thanks for nothing, Kerry. Your announcement today proves to me my feelings about you are correct. You are a huge disappointment, but NEVER AGAIN.

[LSK]

10. actually his Senate record since 2004 is probably the very best you can get

And he was one of the very 1st to call for timetables in 2005.

[AndyA]

15. Not good enough!

Think of the damage that has been done during Bush's second term.

Kerry's voting record, however impressive it may have been, does not excuse his not standing up for OUR RIGHTS. We voted, he didn't care.

[winter999]

25. Looks like he doesn't care about his old running mate either.

So much for an endorsement for Edwards. Ol' John was good enough in '04 to be VP... no longer!

[dionysus]

24. i hear the waaahmbulance coming...

[AndyA]

31. I couldn't find the smilie I really wanted in response, so I'll just use this one.

:boring:

[rucky]

9. Seriously, it's just an endorsement.

But people seem to take this stuff personally. Remember when Gore endorsed Dean? That was craziest I've seen DU (until this year).

[sandnsea]

11. Oh god, the bus has broken down running over him

People's arms are out of their sockets from throwing him. He's always been dumped on at DU.

[Virginia Dare]

14. Shoot, his back is one big tread mark...

one more time for old time's sake?

[opihimoimoi]

19. When he gave up recounting/protesting...they threw under the TANK

He is the KISS OF DEATH...,Obama don know what he just got....

[no name no slogan]

20. Nah, he already did it to himself

with that utterly craptacular presidential campaign of 2004

[pansypoo53219]

22. dukakis had the brains

to just go away.
Gore is a special case.
kerry has to realize, he fucked up bad for accepting Ohio without a fight. so much reporting for duty.

[H2O Man]

26. John Kerry

is one of the best democratic US Senators of the past 50 years.

[bpeale]

27. i threw him under the bus when he caved to counting the votes in Ohio

he's a has-been

[Renew Deal]

28. Kerry is a DINO who hates elections!

:sarcasm:

[dionysus]

32. i hear he's french-lookin' too!

[Renew Deal]

33. He windsurfs at nude French beaches!

[dionysus]

35. in a speedo, some people say :)

[BringBigDogBack]

29. No, it's not

Anyone who throws him under the bus needs to pull their heads out of their ass. I understand he didn't endorse who some would like to see him endorse, but he made what he thought was the best decision for us, the people of the United States.

[AzDar]

30. John Kerry let me down, badly.

I think his endorsement is akin to a Mafioso's kiss.
