Clinton and Gore seem to have the same affliction. You notice their is speech littered with personal pronouns like "I " & "Me." I'm no armchair psycho therapist but I believe the term or diagnosis is Malignant Narcissism, an unrequited obsession with self. Lots of Sixties Leftists seem to have this affliction. Kerry has no core since Kerry IS the core. Whatever gives john satisfaction for the moment will suffice whether it is pleasing his meal ticket heiress wife or swaying an audience, radiance of self is the goal. When being a naval officer suited elevated his ego he was "Swift Boat John" heir to JFK's PT. 109 legacy. When the political tide turned he became the mouthpiece for the "all veterans are baby killers" movement. When he needed money to sustain his elitist lifestyle he married TWO wealthy women. Starting a business was too much work. Why bust your ass when a walk down the isle with "Terraaaaza" is a quicker ticket to Martha's vineyard. Kerry suffers from one more dangerous affliction: He hates his country. He hates the values which built it. His goal is to undermine American supremacy and to do that he must do away with American sovereignty. He is a far Left internationalist who loves the UN and would oversee the deconstruction of America on the installment plan as Thomas Sowell eloquently put it. "Do you KNOW WHO I am?!!" Yeah Johnny those of us who came home on leave Christmas 72' and got snubbed by our "friends" know who you are and from whence you sprung. We don't like you, we loathe you and everything you stand for. You bring back very bad memories from our eighteen year old soldier past and we want you to go away. Go back to Martha's Vineyard or the Senate. We wish you no ill Johnny, but we wish not to see your sneering, pompous countenance or hear your bloody condescending tone of voice anymore. Please slip back into obscurity. Please, for once in your self obsessed, narcissistic existence do the right thing. Lose the election, take loopy "Terraaaaza" to Elaine's or wherever rich arrogant jerks hang out. Cry into your 95' Brunello. Go away, Van Laskey Former Army Paratrooper Pittsburghtherant.us
