I think he helped to steal the Democratic primary along with the other thugs at the DLC, who certainly did not come to Howard Dean's defense when the media decided to shred Dean for his excessive honesty and willingness to take a new tack in the Middle East. Once Kerry successfully stole the nomination, then the bastard was utterly useless as a candidate. He pulled his punches, took every opportunity possible to show the public that he was an equivocator and basically gave up in early September, never attacking Bush or even allowing surrogates to mortally wound Bush who should have been a quick lunch for a real candidate. Furthermore, it absolutely infuriates me that Kerry completely failed to look into the extremely abundant evidence of massive vote fraud in Ohio. I've got the greatest admiration for the Green Party's David Cobb and the Libertarian Michael Badnarik for their courage in calling for a recount in Ohio. WHERE THE HELL WAS KERRY? ON HIS YACHT? Kerry is a failure. And what is worse, he looks like a man who deliberately took a fall. Not only in the election. But now, once again, with his effete, diffident, sniffily insouciant comments on the Downing Street Memo. John Conyers is an American hero on the Downing Street Memos. John Kerry is an American enigma. A man who has all the qualifications to lead and none of the courage. Kerry is no more and no less than the modern epitome of the Cowardly Lion character in The Wizard of Oz. As you might recall, that timid character was based on a failed politician of another era, William Jennings Bryan. Another Democrat who could never figure out how to win an election.
