Kerry is a Corporatist, Mainstream Darling of WallSteet: Spread The Word!

I have been calling into some right-wing talk shows to vent
anti-Kerry feelings:


Kerry is a corporatist tool of the establishment
Kerry and Bush are Skull & Bones blood-brothers
Kerry and Bush are like two peas in a pod
Kerry is backed by right-wing Media Conglomerates

Try it. The repubs are desperately trying to label Kerry as
a leftist bleeding heart liberal so it can only help for us to
give the other side of the story.

Plus, it's really cathartic! The more I say these things
the less I believe them. Sooner or later we may all have to
join the Kerry folks if we want to get rid of Bush.

So, all my anti-Kerry friends: get on the phone and call in
to Rush.

1. That's priceless!
I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or leave the house.

Leave the house! Leave the house! The power of Kerry compels me! ;)

2. Now that my man Wes Clark is out I am a full fledged Kerry Supporter!
This means that I will be fully defending his character and record!

JK's record as senator does not show that he is influenced by
the money that he gets.

He received alot of money from finance companies but still
opposed the archaic Bankruptcy Reform Bill.

Kerry's record as a whole is much more progressive than Dean's too.

7. What about slimy connections to Torricelli's corruption?
Does that merit consideration?

5. But ex-stockbroker, son of a Dean Whitter exec Howard Dean isn't?
Telling the libertarian/wacko Cato Institute that you're "their kind of Democrat" doesn't make you a mainstream darling of Wall Street?

Starting your campaign with $$ from the superpolluting founders of Koch Industries isn't either?

Kowtowing to IBM in VT doesn't make you a Wall Street darling, either?

What on earth is this world coming to???

:wtf:

13. Locking
1. If you start a thread in this forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. The moderators have the sole authority to decide whether a thread topic is inflammatory. Extremely inflammatory or inappropriate topics will be deleted rather than locked, and the thread's author will receive a warning.

Thanks,
