Okay, this all conjecture of course:
Firstly,
John Kerry touts his "hero" status from Vietnam constantly. He went to
Vietnam, took orders, shot innocent people, fought in a stupid war and got
decorated for it. Soon after he got home, he started protesting the war. He
protested a war which made him a hero. But now... he still talks about how
great he was in Vietnam. He NEVER mentions the fact that it was a disaster
and he shouldn't even have been there in the first place. As Bush said,
guys won't fight when the President doesn't believe in his orders. Richard
Nixon said that the single most dangerous thing was the lack of support for
Vietnam. He was absolutely right. And that's why you guys did so miserable.
You never should have been there. Once again, Kerry is two-faced. He talks
about how this war is not right and yet he says that when he's president
he's going to make it right.
I have more respect for George Bush and Bill Clinton doing everything they
could to NOT go to Vietnam. The people who did anything they could to get
out of Vietnam didn't just do it because it was a war, they did it because
it was a silly war and they didn't want to be part of it. If my government
sent me a letter in the mail and told me that I was supposed to show up and
possibley get killed and it was for something that I staunchly disagreed
with and was certainly no threat to my nation, I simply wouldn't go. Fuck
them. I don't owe them my life for something that doesn't affect me, my
family or my country.
John Kerry came, he saw, he kicked ass and then he protested it. He's an
asshole.
Secondly,
He's greasier than Bill Clinton, but not as smooth. He is FULL of SHIT. He
is in love with himself. He really wants to be president just because. He
has no discernible personality. At least Wooden Gore was normal in
interviews so that you could give him the benefit of the doubt and say
"well, he's just not good in front of a crowd". Kerry is corny, and comes
off as insincere, even one on one. He's always trying for photo-ops in
wetsuits, bike regalia, hupping footballs. He's trying to be like you. He's
NOT. He's a rich prick. He actually keeps repeating "middle class". What a
maroon! He is more polished than Bush of course, but he's just as willing
to spew forth memorized lines. I guess that's what politicians do. But
Kerry is the Manchurian Candidate. He really is. He's lying to you all.
You'll see. Or maybe not.
Thirdly
I don't like the guy. He's indecisive. He says a bunch of stuff but he
doesn't have any substance (typical Liberal ;-0) He keeps saying "I have a
plan". Well, John, WHAT is that plan? He keeps talking about how Bush is so
focused on wasting all the money on the war and homeland security and
things of this nature and so on and so forth (tribute to Ahnuld), but he
certainly didn't attempt to steer the discussion towards the USA. I haven't
heard a (federal) politician in the last two years from the USA talk about
the USA. His campaign is centred on the fact that he's a hero and he "knows
how to battle" and he has a plan to get you guys out of Iraq and clean up
the mess. Well, that's fine, but I think a [good] alternative to Bush's
hawkishness would be to talk about what they plan to do about the country.
He's offered none of that.
Fourthly
He harps and harps about how the war was wrong, but then he also has plans
about how to do it right. He actually said that he would find and 'kill'
people. Didn't anyone else's jaw drop when he said that? I don't think he's
actually a democrat.
Fifthly
He's a liar. He has no consistent belief. I mean, for god sake's his WHOLE
campaign strategy was turfed with just a few months to go. Doesn't that
tell you how much of a wannabe fucking liar this guy is? Lie to me, but
don't let me know you are lying.
Sixthly
I don't like the guy.
