Starting the weekend pic thread 1 day early, only becuz I found one

[jillan]

while searching for something else - don't ask!



Yee-Haw Kerry!

[TayTay]

1. Great Pic!

I found some on a NH site. Since we have a new Kerrycrat from NH, I will post these in her honor. (Ahm, we love pic threads, btw. Have any pics?)



New Hampshire. Where the leader of the free world, the most powerful man on earth is judged by how well he ladels out chille. (Dear Lord, no wonder they don't want to give up First in the Nation primary status. This is too much fun.)

[TayTay]

2. I'm serious about this.

You can tell a lot about a person's grasp of foreign policy by how quickly they get the chille out. (Okay, this part of the NH primary just gets me. It so surrealistic. I can't help myself.)



Ahm, Sen. Kerry ladeled chille much better than Gen. Clark flipped pancakes. He also was a much better bowler than John Edwards, who came and had a campaign event on league night. (What was he thinking?) Kerry was therefore, the best choice of Dems to be Commander in Chief. (It makes sense in Iowa and NH, trust me.)

[Island Blue]

3. Well, Chille is a country in South America, no?

It would make sense that if you want to be president you should know something about Chille. My guess is *'s knowledge of ladeling Chille is not so good.

[TayTay]

4. This was so cool.

Look what was on the wall of the New Hampshire Kerry HQ.

Wow! check these out:

[Island Blue]

8. Wow! Thank you so much for posting those!

There were some incredible shots in the Pete Souza campaign collection. I loved the one of JK and Teresa, the one of JK and the baby (what a look on his face) and the one of him sitting on the stool talking to the guy. Actually I loved all of them. The shot of the dude with the weapon sitting on top of the bus as the band marched by was really freaky - that had to be a * event. Too bad you can't save these, but I understand why. You made my brain very happy with these! Thanks!

[jillan]

12. I loved the one of the guy whose pants fell down!

That was too funny.

Thanks for posting those.
Some great pics!

[politicasista]

55. I like the one with baby Jamal

cute. :loveya:

[emulatorloo]

5. But can he spell Chili? this displaced Texan wants to know. . .

not normally the spelling police (because I sure can't spell worth a damn) but I like to tease you all. . .

so:

:spank:


THANKS FOR THE PICTURES!

[Island Blue]

6. I can't spell either. I like what Mark Twain said ...

"It's a damn poor mind that can't think of more than one way to spell a word." That is sort of my motto in life. If it weren't for spell check, you folks would be laughing your asses off at me!

[emulatorloo]

39. LOL - I'll have to remember that quote. . . .

spell check is my friend too -- when I remember to run the damn thing!

[TayTay]

7. He can. I can't.

My Senator is much smahter than I am. (And I have Irish taste buds. I have no-alarm chili. No hot stuff at all. It gives me heartburn. Sigh, New Englander to the core.)

[_dynamicdems]

31. Ah, I missed JK serving chili.

This is my favorite John Kerry photo. It was from the Dover, NH rally and was
on the Senator's Web site. The other Dover pix  were taken by my daughter.

Dover crowd:

Dover - Kerry closer.

Manchester (got this one from the Kerry site)

 

[ginnyinWI]

49. I love that first one, too

So thoughtful and smart looking! It looks like a painting, almost.

[_dynamicdems]

50. Check out this print of actual painting of JK

This was given to me as a gift. It is a print of original artwork. It is a small print, but I scanned it and enlarged it to use on my desktop. Very beautiful. And the blue color works on a number of levels.

[TayTay]

51. That;s really nice.

You have some talented friends. That's a lovely pic that caputres so much!

[_dynamicdems]

52. Oh, my friend only bought the print....

on eBay! I tried to find another (to save) but I haven't had any luck. I don't know how many were issued, but it will probably be a collector's item!

[TayTay]

9. I like this pic, it's from home.

Senator John Kerry Visits Natick Firefighters on trip to Natick

From: http://www.natickfire.com/2002%20In%20Review.htm



Sigh! I love the firefighters.

[jillan]

13. I'm going with your idea-r. Kerry in every state.

Here's one from Arizona.

This is where he was, thought you all would enjoy the cactus!

[Island Blue]

15. If that's our theme, here he is in NC

[fedupinBushcountry]

21. I was there

Drove 200 miles and it was hot but I am so glad I went. You see the heart poster I was to the right of that in the front row facing the stage. 25,000 people. I have some video when he came to Chesapeake, Va. during the primary, but I have no idea how to put it here.

[Island Blue]

23. Very cool Fedup!

I had to work so I didn't make it there. Did you take any photos?

It only takes us about three hours for us to get to Raleigh now. They've finally finished the road they've been working on for years so now you can get there in no time.

[fedupinBushcountry]

25. No

I forgot my camera. :banghead: :cry:

[globalvillage]

18. Great idea!

This is in Pittsburgh.



July 5, 2004 Pittsburgh, PA: John Kerry on the phone with various Democrats, after making the decision and the call to ask John Edwards to be his running mate. Shot thru the window of Teresa Heinz Kerry's PA home, his campaign director MaryBeth Cahill and veep choice coordinator, Jim Johnson sit in the room.


edit there are some other really great ones here.

26. Okay, then, Wisconsin Kerry

I was so freakin' cold that day. And wet.

Nov. 1, 2004

:cry:

[elshiva]

10. Ahh! That photo came out in the Rolling Stone about a year ago.

Thanks! I remember cutting it out.

[TayTay]

11. Welcome back sweetie!

Where have you been? What's been up?

Ahm, how are you doing? (Missed you!)

[elshiva]

17. Hello, TayTay! Thanks! I love it here!

Not been too well here. Still unemployed and still living with my parents. Trying to discipline myself to stay off the computer to do certain activities towards getting a job...

But, again, I love it here! I missed you all.

[jillan]

14. Where have you been?

Are you gonna stick around for a while?

[elshiva]

16. Hiya, pirhana.

I have not been on DU for awhile because of schedule changes. I don't think I will be able to be around as much as I did before, but I will try.

Nice to see everyone again. Blessings! :grouphug:

[wisteria]

20. Happy to hear from you again! n/t

[elshiva]

22. Nice to see you too. Love your sig line!

[second edition]

27. Actually, I posted in the wrong spot. But its nice to meet you.

I was thanking them for the pictures. Ops.

[elshiva]

28. You are most welcome.

[karynnj]

38. Hi Elshiva

welcome back!

[politicasista]

54. Hi elshiva

:hi:

19. My new Kerry Wallpaper

Sorry that's so big but it's a wallpaper ;-)



That's one of the photos from his visit with the coastguard ship crew a while ago. When I saw it I thought it was just perfect for a wallpaper.
I guess I will shock my daughter with it when she comes home from school this weekend. *g*

[LittleClarkie]

24. I think that's a power chord

Hmm. But which one. I know because his "driving" finger is sticking up, and that if I remember correctly is the sign of a power chord. I don't use them very often, but the guitar teacher did talk about them.

[sandrakae]

29. Here are some good pics with his family.

Election Day. He has such a nice family.




This picture is funny. It looks like he is trying to wake John Edwards up.




Convention Pics






She is always so close to him.





This is when he announced John Edwards as his running mate.

[LittleClarkie]

30. What was with the football picture

I love him and all. But he can be alittle dorky sometimes, ya know?

[elshiva]

34. Everyone fumbles, but if you are a candidate all your fumbles

get on tape.

[_dynamicdems]

32. I love JK family photos!

What a First Family this would have been!

Everytime I see pix of John and Teresa looking at each other, I just want to draw a heart around them. They are so damn cute. In their sixties but they look at each other like they are still teenagers.

And JK's daughters adore him. Talk about your family values! The Bush's, by comparison, are so...disfunctional.

[FreedomAngel82]

42. I agree

The Kerry daughters act so classy as well. Let's compare and contrast. :) You can tell they all love each other very much and would do anything for each other.

Kerry daughters:







Jenna & Barbara Bush:
Sometimes they dress okay but I still prefer the Kerry girls personally. They're just more mature I think.

[FreedomAngel82]

41. Those are great!

LOL, I love the picture where he's pretending to push Teresa out in front of the bus. LOL. And what is Teresa doing with her arms in the next to last picture? And yes, I love how they're always together. They're so sweet!

[LeftyLizzie]

45. Great pics!

The picture of John and Teresa in front of the bus is actually photoshopped. In the original, they were going out to go skiing. Some anti-Kerry website somewhere made the photoshopped image to imply that JK was so sick of Teresa's outspokenness that he was ready to push her in front of a bus (which I'm sure wasn't the case at all!)

[Island Blue]

46. I was wondering why all of the writing on the bus and on the

ground were bassakwards.

[politicasista]

53. Those are nice pics

I miss Momma T and family. :(

[Der Blaue Engel]

33. I keep wondering when seeing pics of the Kerry campaign

aren't going to make me cry anymore. :cry:

We've been so robbed. It isn't fair. :(

[elshiva]

35. Yeah, keep getting burned. Had to take down a lot of the

pictures because it was just to painful. Should be in the White House now.

[Der Blaue Engel]

44. Hi, elshiva

Good to see you again. :hug:

[_dynamicdems]

36. This one makes me cry.

The book that never was...

[elshiva]

37. Who is Michael Burgan?

[_dynamicdems]

40. I think he's just a biographer who does kid's books.

This was going to be one of those Presidents series books that they use in schools, I believe. It was geared to young people and was listed under John Kerry books at either Amazon.com or Half.com (can't remember which). They obviously had both Kerry and Bush books ready to roll when the election results came in. I found this when doing a search for John Kerry books. This book was listed as "not yet available." If there were actually any printed, I couldn't get my hands on one, but I saved the photo of the cover as a memento of what could have been. It might be an idea to check and see if it got published under something else like "famous Americans."

A very nice photo of Senator Kerry. Very sad.

[FreedomAngel82]

43. So sad

:( Imagine what that book would've been like.

[Noisy Democrat]

47. If he runs in 2008

he still has a chance to be our 44th president. :)

[sandrakae]

48. More nice pictures

This is an awesome picture. If someone has this as wallpaper size, I would love to see it.



I love seeing pictures of him in front of the American flag.



He must have just watched a Bush speech



I am guessing from trees this was taken in Florida. It is a nice pic



Convention night

Here he is being a bad boy. Talking on the cell phone and no helmet
