Kerry targets McCain and 'Republican disaster' -candidates should focus on McCain.

[wisteria]

Wise words from Senator Kerry.


"Hillary Clinton has every right in the world to continue to fight, but the important thing is to be fighting against John McCain," Kerry told ABC's "This Week," discussing some calls for Sen. Clinton to drop out of the race.

"It is very important for both people to keep the eye on the real target — John McCain and the Republican disaster of the last seven and a half years," he added."

1. I was not impressed.

[sniffa]

5. Shocking

[cornermouse]

8. Surprise.

Not. I'm still angry at him over the way he didn't fight for his own presidency. Because he didn't, we were stuck with Bush and his unending destruction of this country another 4 unbearable years.

[wisteria]

10. get over it. And, I mean that in a nice way. The Senator faced may obstacles

and lacked some of the support he needed to win. But, besides that, he has been a strong voice for the people and all grass roots efforts for a long time now.

[cornermouse]

12. Four more unnecessary years of Bush destruction

when we could have had President Kerry running for a second term and I'm supposed to just :shrug: and get over it? I don't think so. I don't know if the next president can undo everything Bush did so I ain't "getting over it".

[cornermouse]

13. Things that would not have happened had Kerry chosen to make a fight of it.

Iraq
an American torture policy
associated loss of moral authority, global position, and bully pulpit
Homeland Security
Patriot Act
$5,000 a second wasted in and on Iraq
officially sanctioned spying on American's phone calls, mail, and email.
A president who does whatever his vice president tells him to do and acts like he thinks he's king, not president
another 4 years of Cheney
corporations openly writing and rewriting our laws

I'm not getting over it.

18. This is ridiculous - Kerry worked as hard as he could and put his heart in that race

He was brilliant in the three debates. The fact of the matter was the country had a very clear choice and too many gave into to fear and chose the guy they KNEW would do exactly everything you listed.

Sure Kerry made a few mistakes - fewer by far than HRC has made in these primaries. There were also people who clearly did not help - people like Begala and Carville who wasted their position as two of few Democrats on cable. Carville more than anyone else took the phrase ABX that is usually used in the primary and defined Kerry'a support as ABB. In 1992, Clinton was very near my last choice - yet when he got the nomination, I read Putting people First and argued that he would be good using the things I agreed with. One who think a political insider and pundit would do the same thing. I seriously can't remember them ever praising anything Kerry did in the Senate. (not even working with Kennedy on the precursor to S-CHIP, which is suddenly a huge accomplishment in his eyes .... for HRC.)

Your attitude strikes me as fair as when my then 4 year old pouted and blamed me for not taking her to a kids' concert canceled by snow. I am sure that Senator Kerry wishes he were in the WH as much as you do, but rather than pouting he has continued working to elect Democrats.

19. Kerry fought and WON his matchups - McAuliffe's DNC let the RNC control the election process

for the entire four years he should have led the securing of that process after 2000s rampant election fraud.

The RNC stole that election for Bush and the DNC let them.

The RW media manhandled the weakass Left media to control the MSM.

Kerry dominated Bush decisively in every matchup.

You blame the one who succeeded in his part.

Had the DNC secured the election process in any way, Kerry would be president.

McAuliffe was working only towards Hillary2008 - and that meant taking a pass on 2004.

2. He's right nonetheless

Not that common sense or being right carries a lot of weight these days...........

[saltpoint]

3. Agree strongly with John Kerry.

Recommended.

[Window]

9. Absolutely agree with Kerry.

:kick:

[globalvillage]

4. Wise words, indeed. K&R n/t

[LakeSamish706]

I have no problem with Clinton continuing to fight, just as long as she doesn't sling...

mud that does nothing but benefit McCain in November.

[helderheid]

15. exactly! Tell me why you'd be better than McCain, Sen. Clinton.

[Fabio]

6. Let's hope this is heeded.

[LiberalAndProud]

7. Eyes on the prize.

That's the ticket!

11. Obama has to define McCain now, when he's trying to define himself.

I think he'll do his best to do it now--the only problem being whether the media will focus on it, or continue to chatter about the primary endlessly. I think that's the real problem: what the media chooses to cover.

14. watch this and forward it on
