Kerry comes off as very Pompous against fellow Dems

[tightFit4Three]

He appears and holds himself like he is the anointed one that deserves to win the primary. It really turns me off. Anyone else see his Pompous and superior attitude on stage?

Given his understanding that middle class families need protection while we fix Bush's tax mess, tells me that he understands what we are going through. One word for Kerry. Humble.

9. btw...that was a meme spread about Kerry over 30 yrs. started by Nixon

white House and ramped up in the 80s and early 90s by BushInc. since Kerry was investigating and exposing their corruption in BCCI, IranContra and CIA drugrunning.

But, I am SURE that is NOT your intent.

10. You SURE are RIGHT

Thirty years ago the politics I was interested in was getting my traffic tickets dropped or reduced. What is BCCI and why did the cost of weed quadruple if the CIA was running the show?

11. Kerry investigated BCCI

and discovered that the bank was being used internationally for terror fundraising, covert government actions, arms dealing and money laundering. GW Bush's Harken deal with Bin Laden was part of BCCI.

It's a cesspool. Kerry exposed it all. It also led to Kerry discovering IranContra dealings.

THAT is why BushInc. is using the media to make sure that Dean is their opponent in the general. Do you think Dean earned that media teflon he enjoyed for most of last year?

12. No

Why hasn't this been locked flamebait yet?

The poster isn't even pretending.

He's an extremely intelligent person. He's not the type of candidate that needs to be schooled on a subject or one that needs cue cards to appear knowledgeable a particular subject... he understands the issues facing the country today.

I don't know who you support but maybe your candidate doesn't understand the issues as well and speaks in political speak... says a lot without really saying anything... like bush does,, and when Kerry speaks you mistake his knowledge of the issues as his being pompous.

When/if your candidate is at another debate with Kerry, try to notice a) how they speak, are they spouting slogans or are they speaking to the issue and b) what your candidate does when Kerry speaks, they will watch intently... admiringly, (they all do). During the debates there are three candidates that the others always watch, Kerry is one of them and there is a reason for that, he knows what he's talking about.
