Kerry's a schmuck and even Kerry knows it. Kerry was campaigning a few weeks ago, and he made an unscheduled stop at a rib pit, I cannot remember where, but it was some grassroots kind of state. Anywho, he stops in and orders ribs, trying to be one with the folk, appeal to the little guy, and him being the pompous son-of-Ted-Kennedy-twerp that he barely touches his food, probably because it isnt watercrest and caviar. Then he goes into the back to speak with the workers, which seems appropriate because of course he is "campaigning". He goes back there and finds out that none of them are working under the protection of a union and none of the have laborer's insurance or worker's compensation. So he gets his panties in a twist and storms out, not even paying for the ribs, and leaves immediately. Now this serves my point of not being able to gain ground on the opposition. If Kerry was an intelligence and true politician he would see this god-given opportunity to get up on a table and preach. Preach to the workers that no American should be left with out insurance, no laborer should be left with out a union and no American should have to bear the burden of paying bills while injured from a work related accident. But what did he do instead? He walked out. What does that say to the average american? And, on top of that, what does that indicate that Kerry will do about terrorism and national security. It says to me that Kerry would rather complain and then ignore the problem rather than go out and try to fix it. Kerry will walk out on the security of this nation. He's a typical liberal, all talk no action, and he is disgracing the names of his great formers.
