KERRY CRACKS ME UP... TRYING TOO HARD

These stories below from Kerry's campaign trail just reflects this man's lack of ethics and integrity. Stating stupid lies in trying to connect with voters. He also simply lacks "da social skills." Reminds me of an incident my friend, Dave, went through this past week. He was at an event and he struck up a conversation with an elder caucasian man next to him. A little bit into the conversation the guy says,"I don't care about race. I don't even consider a person's skin color and background... (a few minutes later) I appreciate the cultural differences between ethnicities..."

Dave, who is Asian American, asked him,"Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

The guy flips out and ignores Dave's question, and then denies even some of his statement. This totally reminded me of Kerry's behavior, and seemed to be a reaction he would have taken in a similar situation. He's a guy trying hard to make some connection and small talk, but to the point of making random odd points that make you scratch your head or roll your eyes in disgust that he would even spit out such words to gain your confidence.

To understand more of what I'm talking about, check out this article:

I'm sure I'm not the only guy who was astounded at these remarks.

I'm also sure there must be a hunter or two somewhere in America who uses a double barrel to hunt deer, but I don't know anyone who crawls around to do it. Crawling around - except in very special circumstances - is a good way to hurt yourself.

For another thing, anyone who has spent more than a minute or two deer hunting knows that most hunters use rifles for deer hunting.


And this one:

Kerry then seemed to realize how the windsurfing could be perceived, and told the press corps that windsurfing is not an exclusive sport: "...If you were to talk to the guys who were windsurfing in Nantucket, they're all local guys, the guys who do the plumbers, the guys who do the construction work..." Answering questions about the expense, he told reporters that people buy equipment on the Internet, and about flying he said, "What, 250 bucks for a ticket to fly from one part of the country to the other."

Diamond says Kerry then told reporters that if he went on Tuesday, it would not require a full day of campaign travel as he was traveling to Cincinnati, anyway. He also said that should he windsurf, it would be a "political event," reminding reporters that the town welcomed him on Saturday, and saying, "They want me, you know they're waiting, there's 300 people the town is excited about it, it's a big deal..." He then told reporters, "I'm not going to fly this plane (the campaign 757) especially just to do that. Obviously I'm not going to do that... I prefer if I go on Monday I'm coming with a little plane so it is affordable..." He chatted for a few minutes about something else, then returned to the windsurfing subject, saying, "...If I go windsurfing and fly over there, I'm going with a friend who's going anyway, who flies himself, so it's not a big... I just want you to understand the circumstances, I'm not about to fly this plane over there just to go back and come back..."


I think my new nickname for John Kerry is "The Waterboy." He really lacks da basic social skills to connect with and understand the majority of Americans.

Funny quote:

"John Kerry embarked on a 1,800-mile train trip through several key battleground states. 1,800 miles on a train - that is the longest Kerry has even gone without changing direction." - Jay Leno
