Reply #30: ....Seems clear that you don't like Kerry...o.k....He wasn't my [View All]

first choice, either, and he DID make some important mistakes...HOWEVER...It sounds to me like you might be believing the Repugs own P.R.
I was always annoyed with this "effete" thing...I see nothing "effete" in a decorated combat veteran, especially next to a Daddy's boy Draft dodger/ former cheerleader in college!
..What's with the "effete"?...They're NOTHING effeminate about John Kerry, unless it's now considered "effete" to speak in full sentences that sound intelligent

...As for the windsufing...WTF?...Windsurfing is no big "elite" sport..It's offered at most "moderate" coastal resorts and has been for years...You'd think he was playing Polo, or something..I found it laughable when Cheney smirked about "the people of Iowa don't windsurf"...Well no shit, Dick...Iowa doesn't HAVE a SURF!

...I frankly don't think Kerry was too "effete" "elite", or anything of the kind..
If we now prefer inarticulate low-brows for presidents, I'd say that's a comment on the electorate...or the Repugs who manipulate them....Please don't forget that as far as "elite" goes..you had NO more "patrician" president than FDR...and the working people LOVED him...He's now considered, even by Repugs, as the greatest president of the 20th Century

P.S..and not only "patrician"..but liberal as hell!
