1. No. Kerry will be a trusted advisor on foreign policy, open government, small business
and the environment.

18. Most people are uninformed, though they claim to be informed. They depend on corpmedia
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 02:07 PM by blm
even as they pretend they don't.

They buought into Terry McAuliffe and the corpmedia spin against Kerry because they were always too lazy minded to stick to the truth. It takes strength of character to stick to the truth even when it is easier to swing with the perception game.

29. Willfully Bought Into It
There is plenty of information here on DU in the archives to prove going along with the MSM is not smart, intelligent nor trustworthy. I thinks it's based more on ideology, partisanship and $$$$. People become easily blinded and end up throwing away principles, even one's they considered to be extremely important.

I remember talking to a person about Sicko and how we both felt the same about the health insurance industry. How basing profit on such a concept is disgusting and inhumane. Then when the primaries started I found that same person supporting Hillary, and a privatized system everyone should be forced to enroll into. It's amazing what politics will do to a person's mind.

3. Good Lord, please no.
Kerry running for prez was not interesting. Why would he be any more interesting now?


I can't think of any way to more effectively sink the ticket than to put Kerry on it. Talk about damaged goods...

11. The guy won more Dem and Independent votes than any other nominee ever.
Why do you THINK the RNC had to spend four years setting up 2004 to be stolen?

BTW - Kerry just happens to be the lawmaker who has uncovered and exposed more government corruption than any lawmaker in modern history.

He will not be the VP, but he certainly deserves respect from any Democrat who cares about open government. Especially since this nation would be in its tenth year of full on fascism by now if you took Kerry out of the last 35 years of this nation's history.

You think his winning the debates DECISIVELY was a fluke?
THAT is why the corpmedia HAD to bring him down any way they could even AFTER the election.


The revisionism is stunning from some of you.

35. No. That would be the DNCs Terry McAuliffe who refused to secure the election process
for 2002 and 2004 even after 2000's theft.

Ever try to figure what the US attorney firing scandal really is about, sunshine?

4. Well, Kerry would definitely be the "anti-Cheney."
However, don't see this happening.

5. No it would be a disaster.
Even though Kerry has been speaking up he is seen as weak and not willing to fight.

This would be a bad move especially when there are more qualified potential candidates.

10. Mr. Present paired with Mr. I was for the war before I was against it?
would be a wet dream to the other side.

14. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Kerry is a good man but he is a disaster as a candidate. I phone banked for him during his campaign. I mean I spent hours doing it. Then he would go out there and say something without thinking and his numbers would drop instantly. Of course there was the gift to Bush that he voted for the money before he voted against it. I know what he meant but the Republican machine used it to prove that he was a flip flopper..... As I said Kerry is a nice man. He has a lovely wife. He has some wonderful kids but I would prefer it if he remained in the Senate.

17. Yeah - that's why the US attorney scandal is all about election fraud set up over
the years specifically to steal votes FROM the Dem candidates in 2002, 2004, and 2006.

Or have you all forgotten that Kerry WON. and the RNC stole that election while the DNC sat on their hands for four years and watched them do it.

31. Yeah, that whole flip-flopping on the war thing really doesn't work with voters.
Another reason why Hillary can't win.

12. Let's not take anyone out of the Senate till we see what we have.
We're HOPING for a veto-proof majority, but that doesn't mean we'll get one.

21. Folks
a man who ran for President is not going to run for VP four years later - how PATHETIC would that look for John Kerry.....

and a Presidential candidate is not going to choose THE LOSER from the previous election to be his running mate

If Obama had an ounce of sense he would pick Bill Richardson to help him with the Hispanic vote a place he apparently needs help.....unless of course Richardson endorses Clinton - but even then maybe he would

I think Clinton might pick Obama - Obama will not pick Clinton - Clinton might also choose Clark or Richardson....

25. I don't think that would be acceptable to Kerry after having been the Prez candidate
but I wouldn't mind seeing him in the administration somewhere.

Why put the more qualified man in the lower spot?

34. p,s, it would give the ticket foreign policy experience and a war hero.
I guess he could go with Sebelius or some other woman but foreign policy experience is his alleged weakness, especially against McCain.
