John Kerry Sucks!

Now that the Democrats and Republicans have had their little parties er, conventions it is time to look forward to Election Day. As of this morning W is holding a sizable 12 point lead over John Kerry. Kerry is of course downplaying this and is asking why everyone thinks W got a bump in ratings from the convention. Alright Senator, if it was even after your convention and it is now not even, what happened? I guess people are just seeing you as the wishy-washy, mealy-mouthed worm you really are.

There is no doubt in my mind that this nation will re-elect W on November 2. Of course there is no doubt in my mind that people like Michael Moore, Ben Affleck and Al Gore will say the election was stolen, but who believes any of those nut cases anyway? No, there are legitimate reasons why people are not lining up to support John Kerry.

Any of you who read this page know I have issues with the war in Iraq and was against it from the get go. That does not mean I am against the President, it means I felt there were options available that didn’t call for a full military response. I was absolutely for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and I knew we would have to intervene to make it happen. However, I still think it could have been done covertly and with minimum bloodshed and loss of collateral.

Where my support for the Prez lies is in the fact that I believe he did what he thought was the right thing to do. And trust me, doing nothing was not an option. And doing what he believes is correct is how he is running the campaign and why he will win.

On the other hand we have John Kerry. Liberal Senator from Massachusetts. Now we all know what the people of the Hub State like when it comes to their politicians. That’s fine, as long as they keep to their selves. Unfortunately they always seem to have someone trying to get in the national limelight. This time around it is Kerry.

Kerry is a three time winner of the Purple Heart from the Vietnam war who then protested the war upon his discharge. Alright, no problem there. After all, regardless of what the conservatives say, you DO have a right to speak your mind in this country even if it does disagree with what they think. Personally I would never burn an American flag, but I would defend to the death someone’s right to do so.

So we have John Kerry who went so far as to oppose the war, then voted for war when W wanted the power to go to Iraq. Still not a problem per se. However, this is where he starts to lose credibility. Once he becomes a candidate for the Democrats he starts to oppose the war. He makes excuses why he voted for it and tries to take the opposite side seemingly just to have a differing position than that of the President and his opposition.

Kerry loses what little face he has left when he goes so far as to trumpet his Vietnam service and his Purple Hearts as one of the major cornerstones of his campaign. His service that he opposed the minute he was discharged. And a war that he now says he would never have voted for. One minute he loves war and what he did (when it suits him) and one minute he hates war and wants nothing to do with it (when his actual record bites him in the ass).

Kerry is a hypocrite and America sees it. Maybe W isn’t the best person to be President, but I certainly feel better with him than the prospect of having Kerry being the leader of the free world.

Like I said, the Americans are growing weary of his flip flopping message and are seeing through his deceit and hypocrisy. Come November 2 America will wake up, go to the polls and do the right thing, re-elect George W. Bush to a second term!
