3. What is Kerry supposed to do today? |
|
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 08:07 AM by acmejack
Just to demonstrate that he is not to be trusted. You can't believe a thing he (or his supporters) say...
btw, that is the link you are looking for.

From wayback when I had a marketing class.
One of the purposes of advertising is post-purchase reinforcement of the decision.
Consider this a Republican advertisement which has the message: "Don't worry, you didn't vote for the dumber guy."

5. Timing is everything when you want to discredit someone! |
|
John Kerry actually agreed to allow the release of these records as part of his military records. The spin on these grades is because of the DSM. Kerry was and remains the better man.

8. Because Kerry is giving a speech on the Downing Street Minutes? |
|
KKKRove is working overtime. If Kerry had a higher overall grade...do we believe this would have made the news? FUCK NO!

9. Funny how they give all of Kerry's numbers, one or two of Bushs... |
|
or NOT (funny).
Why can't this man stand on his own merit (or lack thereof)? Always he has to be compared to Clinton, or Kerry. That didn't happen when Clinton was in office.
A true sign of his weakness.

10. Kerry had a bad freshman year because he was learning to FLY at the time |
|
and spent more time at that than his studies. It dragged down his grade average. His grades went up appreciably in later years. He ACHIEVED his higher class ranking.
Bush got gentleman C's which means his teachers passed him as a LEGACY student, rich man's son.
Bush learned to fly with a million dollars of OUR TAXES and then CHOKED. Avoided the draft by saying he wanted to fly with the Guard and then he PANICKED ON LANDINGS. He was grounded after wasting all that tax money on him. He was pushed through AGAIN, as a rich man's son.
Kerry releases ALL his records from the Navy, and it turns out the records match everything he released in the past and contrary to EVERYTHING the Swiftliars charged. THAT is the real story.
Bush has NOT allowed the complete release of all his records.
The REAL story for a REAL journalist - Kerry's records in the Navy matched everything he released in the past, so he wasn't hiding anything that happened in Vietnam or in his service, as the SwiftLYING Republicans claimed.

So they don't even try exonerate him against the swift boat liars ? Instead there is a bigger story in his college grades?
The man served his country, at the same time he was also protesting the war.
Bush was smoking, drinking, failing, doing coke and running from getting drafted!
Edit: I'm still mad! I wonder if MSNBC saw the same friggin debates I did!

12. is that all they can drag up? LOL |

:boring:
Maybe it'll help Kerry's image--ie. see, he's just a regular guy, more like Smirky--not one of those scary intellectuals.

What the fuck kind of article is that? These guys basically got the same grades, but it makes Kerry look like a dumb ass and Bush look like a genius. This is the same kind of shit they pulled during the campaign. Discredit Kerry's distinguished military record to make Bush look better.
It's the Swift Boat shit all over again.
For fuck's sake, are there absolutely no ethics in journalism anymore?

The article says Kerry's grades were equivalent to *'s "despite repeated portrayals of Kerry as the more intellectual candidate."
IMO, one can be intellectual despite grades. Didn't Einstein flunk math?
It's not so much about grades, but it's about how a person uses their intelligence. Even if * had a 200 I.Q. his speech and actions exude those of a complete moran and that's what matters.

19. THIS WOULDN'T BE A MUTHERF'N ISSUE IF KERRY HAD MADE STATEMENT EARLIER! |
|
He's to blame, not the media. We KNOW the media is going to smear and discredit, and Kerry should KNOW this as well. Instead, it was a greater priority for Kerry to be off doing whatever, than beating the media smear machine and getting the DSM message out.
Fuck Kerry. What a dumbass.

20. Kerry should have run a stronger campaign |
|
It's baffling how anyone could not beat Bush. It's not Kerry's fault. Maybe he was part of the conspiracy but he didn't create it.
