KERRY SPEAKS
39
Tue, 08-31-2004 - 8:53am





I am John Kerry.



I was against the first Iraq war. I am against the second Iraq war, but I voted for it. Now I'm against it but I was for it.

I support the UN. I'm against terrorism and against the Iraq war. But I voted for the Iraq war. So, I voted against the first war and supported the second war, wait.....



I'm against gay marriage but for gay unions. I support gays but think the San Francisco mayor is wrong. I support gay marriages. No, wait, gay unions.



I'm Catholic. Wait, I'm Jewish. My dad was Jewish.

But I was raised Catholic. What am I? I don't want to confuse people.



I am for abortions, but wait, I'm Catholic, and Catholics are pro-life. But I might consider putting pro-life judges in office, but I'm not sure. I do know I voted for a pro-life judge, but I stated that it was a mistake.



I went to Vietnam. But I was against Vietnam. I testified against fellow U.S. Troops in Vietnam, threw my medals away and led others to do the same.

But I am a war hero. Against the war. I stated I threw my medals away then I threw my ribbons away. I then revealed that I threw my ribbons away but not my medals, then lately I stated that I threw someone else's medals away and never threw anything of mine away.



I believe Ribbons and medals aren't the same thing. Medals come with ribbons, so now I believe that ribbons and medals are the same thing besides the fact that ribbons are cloth and medals are metal.



I wrote a book that pictured the U.S. Flag upside-down on its cover. But now I fly and campaign in a plane with a large flag right-side up on it. But sometimes, we fly upside-down for fun.



Yasser Arafat is a hero and a statesman. The Israelis shouldn't kill Palestinian terrorists, but they should stop terrorism. Yasser Arafat is a terrorist supporter. I support Mideast peace.



I am for the common man, unlike Bush. I am against the rich. But my family is worth $300 million dollars, five mansions, a yacht, a jet and many SUV's. I am the common man.



I am against sending jobs overseas. My wife is a Heinz heir. Heinz has most of their factories offshore. I am against rewarding companies for exporting jobs as long as it is not Heinz.



I own $1 million in Wal-Mart stock. I believe Wal-Mart is evil for driving small business owners out of town. I am a capitalist and I own part of Wal-Mart but I am a good guy for small corporate America.



I own SUV's when I talk to my followers in Detroit, Michigan, Teresa owns SUV's, I don't, when I talk to tree hugging followers. I have a campaign jet that gets 1/3 mpg, which is great fuel efficiency.



I am against making military service an issue in presidential elections. I defended draft dodger Clinton and stated that all serve in their own capacity whether they draft dodge or not. Did I mention, I served in Vietnam and am a hero? Are you questioning my patriotism? I served in Vietnam. My opponent didn't. I have three purple hearts! I am a hero. I am qualified to run this country since I served for four months.



I am John Kerry.

wow. Tough decision you guys have to make! ours is similar, on the one hand we have Bush's poodle Blair, and on the other we have a strangely creepy guy called Michael Howard. I'm going to vote Green.

Voting green is like not voting at all. It is in essence a vote for Bush. I would ask you to reconsider your options and what will make the biggest impact on positive change for this country. Your vote is needed to count.

Donna,

I'm actually writing from England, so to be fair my vote will not make a huge difference to your country in any case :o)

I was comparing your choices to our own. I take it that you are a Kerry supporter?

ah i see, yes crossed wires there.

To be honest I will probably vote Conservative (opposition party) since I loathe Blair (Labour) and would hate to see him get back in. The Greens talk more sense than anyone else, but as you say, it's a bit of a wasted vote.

I used to actually like Blair, what a speaker he is! But was disappointed he stuck with Bush when the reasons for war became so obvious a lie.


I have a daughter named Leanne (spelling different).

Did I mention, I served in Vietnam and am a hero? Are you questioning my patriotism?"

I'm afraid so, also your judgement. As A veteran myself, I would be mighty careful what I said to a Senate comittee, mostly because it is impossible to predict how an enemy could use what I said to hurt fellow servicemembers.

I'm Catholic. Wait, I'm Jewish. My dad was Jewish.

But I was raised Catholic. What am I? I don't want to confuse people. " Well, thank you for your concern; guess this means your Irish ancestry will not be brought up again.

I own SUV's when I talk to my followers in Detroit, Michigan, Teresa owns SUV's, I don't, when I talk to tree hugging followers." So you want me out of my SUV, but have been unable to persuade your own wife to get out of hers?

I have a campaign jet that gets 1/3 mpg, which is great fuel efficiency." Then what's your beef with my SUV?

Don't forget, I believe life begins at conception, but I support anyone's right to snuff that life right out at any time, in any manner and for any reason.

I had high hopes for him when he started too, but not only is there all this war stuff, he has also properly buggered England up in so many ways. Vast tax hikes, floods of immigrants, useless public services, etc.
