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.

Well actually both sides try to take the mile when given an inch, which is part of the problem. There is aboslutely no compromise between the two sides on this issue.

Not going to argue the fact with you...think it is the old truism of, "the one who blinks first loses" and both sides know it.

These don't seem to be exact Kerry statements. Please provide links which shows these statements verbatim along with the whole speech/interview when they were uttered so we can see the statements in whole context.

"I choose not to project my morality onto others, that is how I reconcile it."

But, I'm not talking about anyones personal morality. I'm talking about the law. The law says, that if someone causes a situation where a women looses her unborn child, that person can be held accountable, in a court of law. BUT the law also says that if a woman decides she doesn't want to be pregnant, she can abort that fetus, even late term when if delivered it would be a viable birth. Does that not seem strange to anyone but me?

<<Well meaning but misguided does not a leader make.>>


Neither does this, "The candidate is furious," a longtime senior Kerry adviser told the Daily News. "He knows the campaign was wrong. He wanted to go after the Swift boat attacks, but his top aides said no." http://instapundit.com/archives/017515.php

he's Labour which is left-wing, so I guess that would be the equivalent of Democrat. altho I don't think much of Bush so please don't take this as a declaration of support for him! :o)
