S-kerry tactics

Aside from marrying rich broads, John "World's Homeliest Gigolo" Heinz isn't good at very many things.

Demagoguery is one of them.

In recent weeks, the Botoxed Brahmin has scared the hell out of blacks at the NAACCCP and National Baptist conventions with forewarnings of disenfranchisement and a rollback in civil rights.

A couple days ago, while enunciating his latest position on Iraq, he raised the spirits of the Iraqi terrorists, hurling scurrilous invective at everyone but them (presumably Mr. "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better" could lecture them on the proper way to behead) and giving them every incentive to ratchet up the killings in the month before the election (I should add "providing aid and comfort to the enemy" to his list of skills). Having helped America lose one war (and sentencing millions of Vietnamese and Cambodians to death), Kerry seems hell bent on a repeat performance in Iraq.

Wednesday he scored a two-fer: planting the fear of a potential draft in the minds of young voters while tossing the word "quagmire" around, and later on painting a Dickensian picture of life under GWB's common sense ideas to reform Social Security -- throwing in the requisite bashing of wealthy "special interests" -- causing a room full of golden agers to soil their Depends.

Liberals using hyperbole and scare tactics to get out the minority and senior citizen vote is nothing new. The lunatic Algore used the technique masterfully in the final days of the 2000 campaign to close the gap. Lefties can pretty much make any claim -- one million disenfranchised African Americans -- and be confident the lapdog MSM (who are far too busy foisting forged documents on us in an attempt to disgrace a sitting president during a time of war) will not correct the record.

But, as with his continued focus on his four months in Vietnam 35 years ago, we can understand why Kerry is taking this tack: he has nothing else to sell. His Senate career has been lackluster at best, and at worst, counterproductive -- witness his constant opposition to the policies that won the Cold War. His current proposals are the same rehashed socialism lite the Dems have been peddling for decades: rich guys and big corporations bad, "working families" good ... blah blah ... He clearly sneers at any notions of American exceptionalism, instead defering to failed nations and corrupt international institutions. In short, another over-educated mediocrity confident in his superior intellect and motivations, yet illegitmately arrogant.

The sooner he is dispatched to the electoral ash heap, the better off America will be.
