Question for Kerry Supporters

[gWbush is Mabus]

To Kerry supporters only,

Many have said the allegations are false, it is a non-story, there is nothing there, it is a smear, etc. etc. etc.


My question is:
HYPOTHETICALLY, _If_ it were true,
would you still want Kerry to be the Dem nominee in the GE?

[gWbush is Mabus]

1. Second Question:

If it were true and _was proven_ to be true somehow (hypothetically again), would you still want him to be the Dem. nominee in the GE?

[meegbear]

5. Hypothetically

How is this question different from the first. If it's true, then it's proven.

[gWbush is Mabus]

13. clarification

First question,
i am trying to get at your perceptions of Kerry's character and integrity...and if your perception changes.
also, what you think if the media takes this one (proven or not) to the main-stream press...if you think it will affect the swing voters' decision.

Second Question,
what if there is a "blue dress" found after WI and the convention. would you regret your choice as he heads into the GE

14. Since Graham & Clark have both bowed out, my vote will go to my third

choice candidate, John Kerry.

And as far as the possible sex scandal goes, I feel the same way about Kerry possible affaire as I did about Clinton's little pecadillo. I DON'T CARE. It is not my business.

If Kerry were guilty of stalking, harrassing, or otherwise abusing women, it would be a different story.

If he were involved in an extra-marital affaire, that would be his business, his wife's business, and the business of the other woman involved. Not mine, not the country's.

The only time it would be the country's business is if it involved law breaking and/or national security, for example, John Kennedy's involvement with a Mafia Godfather's girlfriend and with an East German spy...

17. well

you might not care, but I bet you more than half of this country would.

I dont particularly care either, but I see it as a problem if it comes out in the GE.

[library_max]

18. Voters didn't appear to care in '92, '96, or '98

Why would they start caring now?

[nickinSTL]

8. proven

That would depend on the nature.

If it was recent, and during his marriage to Teresa Heinz K., I don't think he could stay on. Despite the fact that I support him, and think he's the best candidate, if he's engaged in recent infidelity, too many people are going to be worried about a repeat of the Clinton mess.

If it was years ago, during his first marriage (and especially if it was after his separation) it's a different ballgame. Not important, and shouldn't be a problem.

9. I thought it "wasn't about sex. It "was about lying".

How many times did we hear that from the Republicans during the Clinton-Lewinsky trauma? Apparently, it WAS about sex, because they're hoping for another shot at it.

[meegbear]

2. Yes

[waylon]

3. Depending on..

Is this a one time deal, or does he have a history of infidelity. Yes, it does matter to me in more than one way. If he cant be faithful to his wife/family, Id rethink him. And, if this is an ongoing thing with him, he will NOT survive the general.

Practically speaking, he needs to handle this issue more aggressivly.

[phillybri]

4. Yes and Yes....

n/t

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. Yes

Because he'll win, even if the allegations are true.

[MoonRiver]

7. I have more faith in Americans than to believe that an affair is more

important to them than joblessness, hundreds of our soldiers being killed in Iraq on the basis of *'s LIES, health care in crisis mode, and a lying AWOL piece of shit destroying our international credibility. GIVE ME A F'N BREAK!

On edit: YES, I still would want him to be the nominee. Because I think he has the best chance of beating * into the ground and would make the best president, now that Clark has dropped out.

[zanana]

10. Thank you!

Can we get back to Bush's AWOL status now? Or has Rove's sex rumor distraction worked?

[MoonRiver]

12. Nope. All Kerry sex rumors all the time on GD2004!

:puke:

[JI7]

11. yes

even if true i still support him and want him to be the nominee.

15. History is made in the class struggle and not in bed.

-Alex Mitchell, British left-wing journalist. quoted in Sunday Times following the deposition of Gerry Healey, leader of the Workers’ Revolutionary Party, in the wake of a sex scandal (London, 29 Dec. 1985).

[brainwashed_youth]

16. yes i would

still, none of the major media outlets are reporting this story. not Fox, not CNN, no anybody.


Fuck Drudge!!!

[kerryistheanswer]

19. Absolutely Yes

This is a ridiculous story. I didn't care about the Lewinsky scandal and I wouldn't care about this either. We need a leader - I could care less about their private life.

It's like saying we wouldn't vote for a candidate because he/she were gay.

[Native]

20. Definitely

[oasis]

21. Yes. Kerry was not going to get any votes from the Christian right .

There the only ones that would give a hoot about some chick hiding out in Africa.

I remember Pat Robertson pumping up the Paula Jones story on the 700 club. It was not even on the mainstream media at the time.
