The next time a Repuke comes up to you and mentions Kerry's "affair" hit right back at them with the fact that they supported the Gropinator.

4. There is no credible proof Kerry HAD an affair
I would not assume the rumor is true, but call them on the baseless smear tactics Drudge is known for.

5. Notice how I said "affair"
I don't believe the rumor either because it's baseless.

the rumor.

13. I will check the transcript
I swear that is what he said. He said for six hours conservative radio was talking about it as if it were true. Of course he was talking about oxycontin and Heil Hannity.

9. Yes, and a similiarly abbreviated nomination cycle...
Edited on Fri Feb-13-04 10:41 PM by w13rd0
...with just as little media scrutiny. Oh, and you might be forgetting, the Gropinator is in California, a state in which if some have their way, will never get a voice in the primary process.

ON EDIT: type

10. But Ahnold was not accused of actually having sex...
He just groped some ladies in a playful way on rowdy movie sets.

12. ""playful" was his description. The women who were groped didn't
consider his molesting them "playful"

I don't defend men with zipper issues on any front. One reason I am not ADD (Any Dem will Do) today is because of Clinton's betrayal. One zipper-gate per lifetime is enough for me.

15. But, Kerry is a Democrat!
And Democrats are not trustworthy, remember?

That really is the point. That and getting Bush's AWOL story off the front burner. And seeing just how Kerry will respond to dirty tricks.

I also suspect another motive is to weaken Kerry and undermine his candidacy. Now, I'm not a fan of this particular JFK, but if this story drags on (and whether or not it's true is absolutely irrelevant here) he'll either go on to win the nomination but his ability to campaign effectively on the issues will be seriously compromised, or his candidacy will be destroyed, and neither Edwards nor Dean will be seen as strong, effective guys who were really chosen to be the nominee, but rather fell into once Kerry was eliminated.

I think this is simply a sneak preview of what's in store between now and November.

17. I don't support Kerry but this is asinine
this whole affair extravaganza......my issues with Kerry don't include who he slept with. I think it clouds the real issues actually. "Those Dem can't keep it in their pants"....give me a break.

18. No media sources are really talking about it. Only some DU posters
seen to care. It's irrelevant. Either nothing happened, or nothing can be proved cause the consenting adults don't want to make a stink. Kerry will win the election, and Clark will be his VP. They will win in a landslide against the BFEE and all will finally be well. O8) BTW, I've "seen" this for several years (not the particulars, just the end result).
