What's the deal with Kerrey?

I had just caught a report last night that he has been enlisted/told to go to Florida to run interferrance for the Democrats regarding the nullification of the military ballots. Is this guy Clintonized now too? Another whore for the Dems?
 
Can you say Sec. of State. Just imagine what Gore has promised these people if they will get him elected! Talk about special interests! He's going to have more patronage jobs to fill than a oldtime democratic pol in a Chi=town Mayorial race.

A large amount of temptation there. Just imagine Al Gore as Satan: He takes Kerry up on the mountain. Puts his arm around him and says: "look, Bob, All these things can be yours if you'll just......" More likely it was those demo judges getting promise's of jobs on the real Supreme Court.
 
In anger, my first comment was, "Kerrey was converted by the VC."

That's a bit over the top. Let's just say he has become an avid Democrat.

Hmmm. Then again, comparing mainstream Democrat attitudes to Vietnamese Socialist/Communist dogma becomes more of an argument of "extent" rather than "differences."
 
I too am very disapointed in Sen. Kerry. Even though I disagree with his position on most issues, I always thought that he was an honorable man.

Not any more! He is now willing to sell out the very men and women he so heroically served with for the election of a man with no charactor or honor.

This has got to be one of the more disgusting things to come out of the Clintonization of the Democratic Party. Even though Dems and Repubs had differences on the issues, they could remain civil during the discourse and I believe both sides had respect for the other side. It is no longer that way.

The Democrats now have put the parties interests over the best interests of the nation. The Democrats no longer consider the GOP to be the opposition but they are now to be considered the enemy. An enemy to be destroyed using whatever means necessary. The end now justifys the means because the Dems are fighting an evil enemy in their minds.
 
Honor and Kerry aren't to be used in the same sentence any longer. Remember that he didn't "feel right" about wearing his Congressional Medal of Honor at formal occasions, when every other person bestowed with that honor gladly shows their badge of courage. Of course, now that he chooses to insult the military's integrity over absentee ballots, perhaps he shouldn't wear it, anyway...
 
Mr. Kerrey has lost the last miniscule amount of respect I had for him. I prefer, instead, to listen to former Democratic Georgia Governor Zel Miller, USMC(Ret) when he says (and I am paraphrasing from a quote I heard today), "If a man or woman is serving in uniform, their vote should count. I don't care if the ballot isn't signed or dated, you should count it and salute them when you do it."
 
If Algore loses he won't get the nomination in 2004, and Kerrey wants his shot. So, he's shedding his maverick image and playing Democrat Good Soldier now to prove his bona fides to the party. On the other hand, if Algore wins, Bob can expect some high-profile job in the new administration. He's ready to bail on the Senate, where he's just another big ego among 99 others. Once Hillary gets there, guys like him will be lucky to get any TV face time whatsoever.
 
Bob Kerrey deserves our respect as a Medal of Honor winner and a former friend of Debra Winger. As a politician, as far as I can tell he has always been a liberal and I think he would do what he is doing regardless of whether Gore offered him anything.
There are many kinds of heroes.
 
Bob Kerry doesn't deserve any respect and neither does any Democrat who will fight for late term abortion much less this hi-jacking of an American Presidency.

Let's cut the bull and get straight to the facts the Democratic party is nothing more than a group of arrogant elitest who will do anything and stand for anything to get power and stay in power and the free loading idiots who follow them.

The breakdown of our society is being ushered in by the following groups of people: those who are just plain immoral, those who are lazy and are out for what they can get for nothing and those who are idiots. The Democratic leadership has keyed into this well and they play it to the hilt.

I am for any immigrant coming over here to better themselves and I have worked in another country and understand the plight of those South of us. However, it makes me sick when I think of my ancestors who came over with nothing and made it while current immigrants from many countries don't care about what made us great as long as they get something for nothing. I am not painting with a broad brush since I know many good people who have recently come over that are very pro 2nd and hard workers. FWIW, I have enough Native American Blood in my veins to be classified as a member of the Choctaw nation so before any who read this post jump to conclusions, I am not a racist. I am just sick of seeing our country destroyed by Clinton-Gore Democrats.

Not all Democrats are bad people but I question the integrity of any who can justify to me why Gore should not concede as soon as possible. Due to my Mother's heritage, I did not exactly come from a Republican family and I have actually broken ranks with them. We no longer discuss politics at family gatherings because I am a rabid, pro-gun Republican.
 
Kerry has something that he probably thinks gives him "untouchable credibility".

A Congressional Medal of Honor. He's one of just under 150 living recipients.

While it definately means something, there's a limit.

I didn't go far enough

I said he deserves our respectas a MOH winner. That is all. He does not have my respect as a politician. Jim March said it: "There is a limit."
 
Ed:

I have read many of your posts and respect your wisdom. I am in no way attacking your character. BK deserves merit as you said but I have no respect for him.
 
I never heard that Kerrey didn't "feel right" about wearing his medal. The question is, doesn't he appreciate it, or is he modest about wearing it? I know humility and egotism are polar opposites, especially where politicians are concerned, but perhaps this is the case with Kerrey. Perhaps he doesn't feel like he earned it. After all, he laid alongside Lewis B. Puller Jr in the hospital, a Marine who suffered much more serious injuries. I don't know.

Harry Truman, artillery captain in the 24th (Rainbow) Division during the Great War, said he'd rather have won the Medal of Honor than be president. Perhaps the opposite is true for Kerrey. I certainly don't agree with his politics. I witnessed his announcement in 1991 that he would run for the presidency. I was impressed with the possibilities and potential he offered. He has since shown he didn't deserve those thoughts. I believe he is headed for Columbia University after January, 2001. May he stay there.

I may be wrong on this , but if I remember right I read on News Max or World Net Daily that he is retiring and if he is, he could care less wheather he is exposed as the socialist that he is.
 
There are some reports that Kerry wants to run for president in 2004 if Gore is defeated and is doing this to appeal to all democratic party factions
