Why is Kerry doing so much traveling?

[merwin]

Everyone has a motive behind everything that they do. What's John F Kerry's motivation?

[XanaDUer]

1. Well, someone has to be president

...

[latteromden]

8. Agreed. And we know it's not gonna be Bush.

[sandnsea]

11. Exactly

Thank god somebody is traveling around the world and reassuring people we aren't all dumbasses in this country.

[Goldeneye]

2. Not fair...I wanted to vote for more than one.

on edit: I think he is a genuinely good person, and he's trying to make Bush look lame.

[merwin]

3. Post it in the thread then :-)

[XanaDUer]

7. Lol!

And it's not hard to make Monkey look lame.

Really, Kerry is really sticking it to Bush and giving him a big fuck you when he does this stuff...and when the heads of other countries act like he is the real president, well...

[elshiva]

15. Me, too Goldeneye

The fact that is genuinely good makes Bush look lame anyway. All silliness aside, Kerry's going on one of his fact finding missions, sort of like what he did during the Reagan administration.

[merwin]

16. I agree... if he plays his cards right he'll make Bush look terrible,

take down the Republicans, and position himself for 2008. The world needs a good person in the White House, and I think by the time the dust clears in Iraq and the rest of the Middle East, many more people will realize that.

4. To stay away from the media jackals.

[merwin]

5. True... they can't put him down while he's out doin good.

[raysr]

6. Probably afraid to

show his face around any of his supporters, that's why he's hanging with Pukes like Arnold.

9. taking apart Dubya's domestic support on foreign policy

Smart man. Isn't wasting any time getting to work taking apart Republican power.

Looks pretty harmless, doesn't it?

[lavenderdiva]

10. trying to show shrub how a president SHOULD look and act (and speak!) n/t

:think:

[saltpoint]

12. Truth of the matter is ---

-- he likes those little peanuts the airlines pass out.

John Kerry is known far and wide as THE peanut hound of the western hemisphere.

He'll eat 'em all night if you let 'im.

-----
I voted 'making Dubya look lame' -- although that wouldn't be hard to do -- I think at least SOMEONE in this country ought to have a dialoge with our allies, and I'd trust Kerry to do that over Dubya any day of the week.

[merwin]

14. LOL, I believe the peanut fiend story :-)

[Ronnie]

13. He does represent

47 (48?) percent of us.

[pamela]

17. He's being a leader.

I think he realized, during the campaign, how desperately this country needs a real leader and has decided to take over the job as Acting President since the chimp is still acting like, well, a chimp. He probably figured that someone needs to do the actual work of being President and is trying to save the country he loves from total destruction.

That, plus, he's genuinely a good guy.
