I don't know much about him except for he was getting his ass kciked by Dean and Clark, then all of a sudden he's kicing their asses.
From what I've heard most people think he'll do a pretty good job and John Edwards will be the Vice President.
-
Not really but he's 10x better than Bush.
-
I don't see how he'll make a good president.
In Congress, he's voted against everything he says he stands for. He won't take a position on anything for fear of it alienating people. That's not a leader, that's a coward. He's an elitist, and doesn't possibly know what it's like to be a normal person... most presidents, including Bush are like this, because they're all rich; but this guy goes around representing himself as a normal man and a poor man's champion, which is despicable to me, since he's basically a poser riding the backs of the little man. When Bush makes a campaign stop, or visits ordinary people, he's not there pretending he's one of them, he's there showing he cares about them. There's a difference. Kerry even went so far to visit urban radio last week, and tell them that he hopes he can be the second black president, after Bill Clinton. Buddy, wake the fuck up. Toni Morrison wrote that Clinton was the first black president, becuase he was always hounded by the law (I'm not kidding)... you can't ASK or make yourself the second, lol. What a fucking jerk.
Kerry says the first thing he'll do in office is raise our taxes. How in the world can you vote for somebody like that?
Lastly, I support the presidents anti-terrorism stance, which John Kerry would immediatley abandon, weakening the country.
-
that whole black president shit is funny, but you make a good point, why wuld he make that statement about himself
-
on the real kerry would make a no better president than bush......people like max are lying to themselves to say shit like "he's 100x better than bush"
-
Trauma's assesment of John Kerry was very affective. I don't think he would make that much better of a president than Bush has been. Nadar is the only good candidate to vote for.

Who is Nadar running with as his VP candidate this time (i'm guessing he's still standing for the Green Party)? I helped to campaign for him at the last election, hopefully he'll get 5% of the vote this time. But i doubt it.
-
^^^He's running as an Independent this time.

You want an ordinary person in presidency don't elect a former president son...the only ordinary thing about him is that he's a dumbass American.
I guess you don't how Congress works Trauma ;)
Raising our taxes means no tax cuts for the wealthy something you don't have to worry about.
"In just three short years, President Bush's reckless tax cuts for the wealthy have turned record surpluses into record deficits," Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark said Monday.
Bush promises tax cuts for rich so they can donate millions to his campaign.
Among the industries highlighted in the report are:
The financial industry. Bankers, stockbrokers, venture capitalists and wealthy private investors have contributed at least $38.4 million to Bush’s campaign efforts in 2000 and 2004 and produced more Rangers and Pioneers than any other industry – 73 who have bundled at least $10.8 million this cycle. Bush’s tax cut dramatically reduced the "double taxation" of dividends, the securities industry’s No. 1 priority. His other major tax cuts benefited the securities industry and its CEOs, who personally will save hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars in taxes a year. Social Security privatization, likely to be a top Bush priority in a second term, would shift trillions of dollars of retirement savings to private sector investment accounts.
Real estate developers. The real estate industry has donated $32.2 million to Bush campaign efforts in 2000 and 2004, and 37 real estate developers have qualified as Rangers or Pioneers in 2004, bundling at least $5.4 million. The Bush administration has made it easier for developers to build on wetlands, has attempted to narrow the Clean Water Act so that it no longer covers many ponds, streams and wetlands, and has appointed crusading opponents of the Endangered Species Act to key positions at the Interior Department.
Electric utilities. The electric utility industry has donated nearly $6 million to Bush campaign efforts in 2000 and 2004. In return, in 2000 three industry Pioneers got slots on the transition team at the U.S. Department of Energy. The administration also rewrote a key Clean Air Act rule to effectively neutralize existing government lawsuits against energy companies and prevent future challenges. Bush launched a "Clear Skies" initiative that would dramatically delay emissions reductions and do nothing to contend with carbon dioxide, and has proposed mercury regulations indistinguishable from industry proposals.
Oil and gas. Oil and gas companies gave $15.8 million to Bush campaign efforts in 2000 and 2004. Bush has opened federal land for oil and gas exploration and coal mining, targeted Wyoming’s Powder River Basin for coalbed methane drilling, and required federal agencies to consider how agency rules will affect energy supply, distribution and use.
Mining companies. The mining industry has contributed at least $3.1 million to Bush campaign efforts in the 2000 and 2004 cycles. Mining executives have been appointed to top posts in the Interior Department, and Bush’s Environmental Protection Agency has permitted mountaintop removal for coal mining, is trying to lift a Reagan-era regulation that banned mining within 100 feet of a stream and increased the amount of public land available for mining company waste dumping.
In addition, the administration-backed Medicare bill was a boon to the pharmaceutical and managed care industries, the insurance industry benefited by government agreeing to cover 80 percent of terrorism damages, and media conglomerates have gained from policies encouraging mega-mergers.

lol...you weren't laughing when I posted the thread. You waited for Iowa primary results/Dean crazy speech to start talking shit.
Head Trauma I didn't even read your shit.

So is John Edwards going to be Vice President or what? He might have been a better candidate for President.
-
I kind of liked John Edwards. I REALLY didn't agree with his stance on trade, but he seemed like a nice enough guy.
-
Kerry, at least won't be an oil oriented president who fights 2 wars in 3 years. Kerry himself has been in war, and has seen the horrors of it, unlike Bush, who was probably sippin coke and watching Cowboys football when people were getting burned in napalm soaked villages and dying on mine fields. He's such a hypocrite for staying out of the Vietnam war, but going against the will of the American people and waging war on Iraq. fuck bush, i'd rather have Dolly Parton president

^^The world needed to get Saddam out of Iraq, I would like to thank Bush for ending the Saddam era in Iraq.
