IMAGINE PRESIDENT KERRY!

[BurtWorm]

1. He should have been arrested for that haircut!

;)

[sadiesworld]

4. Is it just me, or does he look alot like Hugh Grant here?

[Forkboy]

6. hey,you're right

he does!

[politick]

23. Now he just has to

stutter a lot, tussle his hair, and look vulnerable.

And pick up hookers.

Not very presidential.

[BurtWorm]

22. And is that Johnny Depp in front of him?

Was Rod Steiger moonlighting as a cop? Or is that Harvey Keitel?

[politick]

25. Johnny Depp as

John Lennon, and Gary Oldman, behind Hugh Grant, playing one of the "Three Musketeers". What enormous fun!

[waterman]

26. And young Jack Warden on the right in the back

[waterman]

27. And Kramer in the very back

[mb7588a]

39. No. that's Luke Perry in teh very back. :P

[JI7]

8. HAHAHHA

it should have been combed back as in the lennon pic.

[arwalden]

12. That's Tucker Carlson's Haircut... Isn't It?

[Minstrel Boy]

16. oops... nevermind n/t

[Kamika]

20. Lol

I was thinking the same

[Hippo_Tron]

41. I like the haircut in the bottom picture...

But I have weird tastes in hair.

[Waistdeep]

2. I loved Colson's secret memo

Colson, in a secret memo, revealed he had a mission to target Kerry: "Destroy the young demagogue before he becomes another Ralph Nader."

Seeing that today, the multiple levels of irony are making me dizzy.

[DenverDem]

3. IMAGINE PRESIDENT KERRY!

It's not hard, if you try.

[RegenerationMan]

5. We all hope you join us,

And the world will live as one!

[DenverDem]

10. All we are saying

Is, "Give John a chance!"

[BL_Zebub]

17. Imagine projectile vomiting

You DID see the Exorcist, right? I can do that rather well :puke:

I don't know which is the more sickening comparison, Kerry to JFK or Kerry to Lennon. I can tell you for a fact that neither of them consider it flattering.

[polpilot]

19. Imagine John Lennon voting WITH Bush on the Iraqi War Rez...imagine..

[DenverDem]

37. Lighten up, Francis.

I was just singing along.

[CWebster]

7. Pathetic the way he has to appeal to progressives

by promoting himself as who he was, not who he is.

I really hate this guy.

[placton]

9. Yeah, right.

I truly am tired of people hating Kerry, because he is not some (non-existent) person the writer would prefer. St. Ralph, perhaps?

Kerry is a good guy, with flaws. Just like Bill Clinton - who of course was all the bad things this writer claims about Kerry. Oh, wait, Clinton was a great president.

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. Check "Stupid White Men" as far as Clinton's "great"

presidency. :(

[Monte Carlo]

21. I read it, and I still think Clinton is a great man.

He's not pure, but he definitely ranks among the better Presidents.

[WitchWay]

40. Purity test....

If everyone is so okay with a president not being "pure" (as in being an imperialistic, corporate, fascist, sell out), then no one should have a problem with George W. Bush, after all.

[sangh0]

34. I checked with Smart Black Men and Women

They say "Moore's an ass"

[jonnyblitz]

36. chapter 10 to be exact. n/t

[SoFlaJets]

11. Then.......

Just consider the alternative as a lame duck with 4 more years to rob and pillage this country.I will be supporting John Kerry and am actually pretty damn excited about what I've been seeing and hearing both in print and on the air.

[Monte Carlo]

24. You need to drop the bitterness...

... because it's totally useless to hang onto it. And by the way, it would seem that he doesn't have to do this to appeal to progressives.

[Sparkle]

31. Well if Kerry wins the nomination, I take it you won't be visiting DU for

a while?

[mac2]

13. And.........?

[bigtree]

15. He put his life on the line when it counted, several times.

"Heroes are born to be troublemakers."
-Mason Cooley (b. 1927), U.S. aphorist

[BL_Zebub]

18. What he did in 1971 is great and all

But what he's done since a hostile enemy took over THIS country is absolutely pathetic :evilfrown:

[eeyore]

28. perhaps...

But you really need to consider what the average American wants in a President. Most swing voters would never vote for someone like Dean, someone who speaks out at all costs. Middle America is uncomfortable with what they perceive to be a radical loudmouth.

I think that Kerry has just been politically astute. He let Dean spout off and implode, then coopted Dean's message in a tone that's more palatable to the average voter. Yeah, it's slimey and tough to get behind, but that's political Darwinism at work.

We here at DU do not represent the ideals that Americans want in a president. You're an outsider - deal with it.

[CWebster]

30. You see this is resignation

Why fucking bother if political realities will perpetually be dictated by the machine that dictates what they are? They throw crumbs or toss a bone if they sense the pack getting testy, but then they revert back to their agenda. Who determines what the average American wants in a president--or what is electable--that is all manufactured, and until we gain greater influence we will never have more than a vote against. Never a vote for.

[eeyore]

32. maybe...

But until middle America sees things the way we do we will not have the influence we'd like. It's not unlike t.v. programming - everything is dumbed downed to appeal to the lowest common denominator. We are not the LCD, and until the average American is speaking our language, we will continue to be outsiders. It sucks but it's true.

[corporatewhore]

29. well since he sold out many of my friends have been arrested protesting

things hesupports like WTO in Seattle The occupation of iraq in Crawford
and i almost got arrested twice in miami for protesting the FTAA

[sangh0]

35. Wow! Kerry personally arrested you and your friends

I'm liking him more and more

[ShaneGR]

38. Uh, you need medication

Kerry didn't arrest you, some cop in those towns did/did not arrest you. John Kerry has no control over those cops. Seek counseling.

[corporatewhore]

42. i said my friends have been arrested for protesting things he supports

like he supports the occupation of iraq he supports the wto
