WHO BRINGS A CAMERA CREW WITH HIM TO GO AND FIGHT A WAR?

WHO GOES OUT AND FINDS THE RICHEST WIDOW IN WASHINGTON?

WHO IS SO STUPID HE COULDN'T EVEN BEAT GEORGE BUSH?

WHO IS NOTHING MORE THAN A LITTLE PAWN FOR THE CORRUPT SENATOR KENNEDY THAT KILLED A GIRL AND RAN OFF?

Oh my god, you're right! How DARE a Democrat be rich? How DARE HE? Only Republicans are allowed to be rich! Democrats who are rich are evil hypocrites! Republicans who are rich are God's chosen! How dare Kerry! How dare he??????

Um, actually, McCain married a rich woman, too, and he wasn't even divorced when he hooked up with his second wife. At least Kerry wasn't committing adultery (since the Republicans seem pretty obsessed with what other people do in the bedroom). McCain's second wife's money funded his early campaigns.

Though, sadly, I have no snappy comeback for how he could have lost to Bush, other than maybe Americans are very susceptible to, "Elect a Democrat and the terrorists will KILL you," which seems to be the Republicans' campaign slogan for the past six years. Kerry was a rotten candidate; I agree with you, Rev. But I voted for him, and had I to do it again, I'd vote for him over Bush again. Heck, I'd vote for a Fresca over Bush.

And I still say those who think he was talking about the soldiers are wrong, wrong, wrong. It was a Bush dig. But it's just as well he's hiding out for the rest of the campaign. We need divided government and we need it badly- this single party crap has seriously screwed up our long-term stability (ballooning deficit, anyone?). The Dems don't need any more of Kerry trying out his stand-up act before Tuesday...
