Is there any way to ignore any post with the word "Kerry" in it? They are all old and worthless and redundant.

What did Bush have a long history of before he became President? Drinking? Coke snorting? Failed businesses? LOL!

Kerry's CAFE STANDARDS bill which Bush fought to kill would have done exactly what Bush finally proposed (five years later) today, that is saving 20% of our energy consumption through conservation and efficiency without really affecting our lifestyles. (McCain co-sponsored it so I guess I ought to admit that) Kerry has never done anything politically convenient in his life. As a young man he directly took on the president of the United States and his war. As a result he got the FBI following for two years and got trashed in his first attempt to run for congress. As a young prosecutor he took on the Irish mob in Boston. At the time that was how you got wacked. As a congressman and senator he took on the Medellin Cartel (who could have easily wacked him), the Iran-Contra bunch (more wack jobs and plentiful assassin types), the BCCI Bank (organized frim, terrorists and rightwing extremists), and Bush Sr's pal Noriega before Bush Sr. turned against him. Kerry also took on Bush's handling of the Iraq Invasion a mere 4 days after it started. He was slammed for that. He took on Howard Dean and the left. He took on Big Oil and the Saudis. He has taken on all kinds of battles which weren't easy or expedient to him at all. But all of his battles were righteous. Kerry is actually the OPPOSITE of what the GOP claims he is. Which is usually true when the GOP is in smear mode. He is brave, honest, sensible, tough, strong, down to earth and humble.

Name one vote Kerry ever cast for "politically expedient" reasons. You are a liar. I'm calling you out on that whopper. If you're talking about Bush's war powers vote, that was really borderline for Kerry. He explained it to me personally. It was a damned if you do, damned if you dont vote and it was set up by the Republicans to be just that. If you voted against you were a traitor on the side of terrorists who was weak. Bushies put 200 million bucks into phony ads branding anyone who opposed Bush's war plans as trasitors, coweards and weak on defense. All of that was total nonsense. The reason Kerry voted for it was because hew wanted Saddam shaken down and checked for WMD. Not that he definitely had WMD, just to make sure. But war? Occupation? Kerry never voted for anything Bush did after the first two days he invaded. That was all sprung on the senate. As was the phony WMD intel to begin with. Let me tell you, Bush-Cheney really are traitors. And they hurt our troops and the GOP most of all, two groups you are supposed to support. This isn't about Kerry it's about Bush-cheney and their monstrous lies and corruption.
