Default Kerry denounces Michael Moore

Today in a speech in front of the Oklahoma school teachers union, John Kerry was quick to disassociate himself from the controversial filmmaker. "His movie has nothing to do with the facts surrounding the truth about what happened on that tragic day." said Kerry. " As a member of the United States Senate I have privilege to documents that Mr. Moore has not seen." "All that I can say is that innuendo, exaggerations, and outright lies about a sitting president in a time of war are not what this country needs." Kerry continued "I will not have anything to do with such a divisive man, I will not put him in a position of prominence right next to Jimmy Carter at my convention" However, Kerry continued "I served my country with honor and received three purple hearts and a silver star." "I did not fill out forms when I got a few scratches so I could abandon my men after four months." "They are lying and I am telling the truth." when Mr. Kerry was asked for proof of this he declined. "Would you trust those hired and payed for by the Bush war machine. A draft dodger, while I served." When questioned further Mr. Kerry could not explain why he would not release his medical records. "They should be banned from the airwaves, I will not submit to these Bush thugs questioning my war record."
Kerry continued "I would like to make this issue disappear. Therefore I will endorse President Bush's initiative to have some regulation over all 527 organizations." When pressed further Mr. Kerry said "I would nly like to see the ads by John O'neil and his ilk banned. I think that the ads by moveon.org express freedom of speech. And we do non want to curtail freedom of speech."

Default why?

No offense, but why do you want a source? Does it really matter since almost every single liberal on this board with denounce it? I could haul Kerry himself in here & to post those same exact words & liberals will somehow manage to denounce the words while still idolizing the man.

Personally, I wish both Kerry & Bush would go away so we can get two other (& hopefully more competent) presidential candidates to choose from.

Default doesn't surprise me

Honestly, Kerry is really not that far to the left.

I think both candidates are really depending on the moderate votes to get elected...

I agree that Kerry does not SOUND far left or look it, but I can assure you by his voting record he certainly is.

John Kerry:
LifeTime rating of voting 5% for the Conservative side
http://acuratings.com/acu.cgi?ACT=3&STATE=MA&YEAR=2003

John Edwards:
LifeTime rating of voting 12% for the Conservative side
http://acuratings.com/acu.cgi?ACT=3&STATE=NC&YEAR=2003

Dennis Kucinich:
LifeTime rating of voting 15% for the Conservative side
http://acuratings.com/acu.cgi?ACT=3&STATE=OH&YEAR=2003

Dick Gephart:
LifeTime rating of voting 13% for the Conservative side
http://acuratings.com/acu.cgi?ACT=3&STATE=MO&YEAR=2003

Joe Lieberman:
LifeTime rating of voting 19% for the Conservative side
http://acuratings.com/acu.cgi?ACT=3&STATE=CT&YEAR=2003


Kerry is more than 3 times as Liberal as Dennis Kucinich!
Another interesting point is that Kerry and Edwards are ranked the 2 furthest left voting politicians who were running for presidential candidate.

There is ZERO spin here, the site is simply judging each politician based on if they voted yay or nay and if each vote is classified as pro-Conservative or pro-Liberal.

I think some, when they see a smiling posing Kerry, they think of Bill Clinton, but Kerry is much, much further left than Bill Clinton.
John Kerry may try and look and sound moderate, but he the furthest to the left, simply by looking at his voting record.

Default Kerry's voting record

Interesting.

Thanks for the links Dano!


But Kerry did vote both for the war and for the Patriot Act, right?...

I haven't seen Moore's new movie yet, but I assume Kerry probably finds it too controversial (if he's even seen it) to align himself with.

Default what a joke!

What is so darn funny is that Kerry denounces Moore NOW...that's like putting a band-aid on a severed leg. It makes no sense & is a total waste of Kerry's time, energy, & breath.

Moore is the poster child for the 'left'. And that is not a complement by any means. Of course, to die-hard left-wing zombies who can't form a single thought of their own, that is HUGE complement. And that scares me to death.

Moore, to me, is a fat sloppy clown & Kerry is nothing more than a wooden ventriloquist dummy. The two should stroll hand in hand on over to the circus where they both belong...hey, they can make up their own Fat Man & Skinny Man act!
