Zorina, I believe you compare apples to oranges. Kerry’s bid for the Presidency roused indignation among hundreds of veterans – who knew him directly: “Unfit for command” On the contrary, accusations against McCain are manufactured by healthy young character assassins. Unlike Kerry, McCain was tortured but didn’t betray his comrades for the sake of ending his captivity (the Vietnamese offered him freedom in exchange for signing the text similar to what Kerry voluntarily spewed everywhere for the career purposes and expediency).
Thing called love
We have been led to cynically believe that many politicians are disingenuous and generally phony, but few will ever beat Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. This man, who changed his middle initial to be JFK and at an anti-Vietnam rally threw someone else's medals into the water, made a self-promotion appearance with Boston talk-show maven Eddie Andelman and claimed he was a big Red Sox fan from his days growing up in Groton, Mass. And at the promotion he said Eddie Yost was his favorite player.
The problem with that is just the simple fact that Eddie Yost never played for the Red Sox.

Being dumb - definitely inexcusable. Before his stupid attemts, he was perceived just as an arrogant jerk - after them - as arrogant, stupid lliar. He didn't even manage to prepare his lies.
In the words of Panagopoulos, a team owner, these gaffes prove that John Kerry is "someone who's trying to be all things to all people, and so he's trying to act like he knows some of these things." When Kerry says "Lambert Field," he's advertising his ignorance while putting on the front of being a real fan.
In the conference room of a Washington, D.C., law firm, team owners Dino Panagopoulos and Jeff Larroca were laughing at how John Kerry called the Green Bay Packers' home stadium Lambert Field rather than Lambeau Field. Someone else remembered that Kerry continued to use a line about the greatness of Ohio State football after crossing into Michigan. In Michigan, people wear T-shirts that say, "Oh how I hate Ohio State."
Kerry thought there was a current member of the Red Sox named Manny Ortez. Not to mention that Kerry flinched like a coward while catching a football. (That is why Obama makes sure viewers see he is not that phony as Kerry - Barak does play basketball).
Still, when Kerry corrected himself he did mispronounce David Or-TEEZ as David Or-TEZZ.. This way he tried to show that he is “with people”!! Such a jerk as president?
The Football Fans did miss one more example of the supposed disconnect between Kerry and the sports-loving public. On March 18, New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd wrote:
Even when he puts on that barn jacket over his expensive suit to look less lockjaw—and says things like, ''Who among us doesn't like Nascar?''—he can come across like Mr. Collins, Elizabeth Bennet's pretentious cousin in ''Pride and Prejudice.''
Of course Mitt Romney. All others will just burry us. That is why the Main Stream media - the obeying instrument of the Dem party - the party of re-distributors, helped first Huckabee and then McCain to beat him.
I do not think one needs to "try" linking McCain to Bush. He is
Bush II. All his maverick facade has evaporated. War - stay for
100 years , taxes - cut never mid what current situation is. Was against
religious fanatics - now loves Hagee. Where is the difference? Name it! I guess only visibly - not as much clown as Bush. Can pronounce -nucular. (N)
Reagan didn't have Alzheimers while President, so I think McCain will be fine as well Who knows, when Obama will be Reagan's age before he died, will have Alzheimers as well. We all might have it *-)
