John Kerry Posts on DailyKos

Lol

This is just an attempt to appeal to liberal activists for his bid for President in 2008.

Yes, their support did so much for him last time.

59 million votes

62 million were so horrified by the thought of him that they voted for W

Sure, a negative campaign based upon mindless fear works, but Kerry still got several million more votes than anyone had ever gotten before.

Yeah, whatever happened to W's draft anyway?  You know, the draft that was sure to happen?  The draft that Kerry insinuated?  B/c that was the main reason people were wailing about Bush's re-election on another forum.

Fear can only do so much (Re: 59 million)

The draft that was originally introduced by Charlie Rangel (D-NY)?

Yes, that one.  The one that only D reps voted for. <scratched comment>

Yes.  The point is that Kerry mentioned it and the bloggers latched onto the comment, blew it out of proportion leading to the Republicans calling a House vote to shoot down the notion.  However, this also led to people on the other message board I'm mentioning sharing sob stories about their mothers crying after Bush was re-elected because their children were going to be sent to Iraq.  It was an issue of fear, completely unfounded in its nature, that the liberal bloggers went out of control with.  That was the main issue that made me stop respecting them - they didn't care whether something was true, just as long as it made them look good.  This remains true.  I was trying to convince someone that Bush was pro-civil unions, and they vehemently denied it even after I showed quotes and evidence to the contrary.  These people want to believe the country is in the sh**t, and will gladly accept "facts" that prove this.

How sad it must be for Kerry to fall so low that he now posts on the DailyKos.  *dies laughin*  LOSER!

Lots of politicians have posted on Daily Kos. Hardly makes them losers.

Congressman Jack Kingston and 2 or 3 others have posted on redstate.org

Jack who?
Anyway, I do think it shows what a useful political tool the internet is becoming.  He can now talk to a select group of people, say what he wants, and not take too much time doing so.

Course, it's easier to use his words against him...but I mean, why not? I see nothing wrong with posting at a blog like that, and I guess I support his endeavor.  shrug.
