Kerry's resume

[prism68]

None of this can be disputed... but I bet it will be ignored by Kerry supporters, like the last thing ([Only registered and activated users can see links. Either login above or Register Now]) I posted that exposed illogical thinking espousing this election:


Good to see that the Democrats are looking out for the working class......if Mr. Kerry wants to create jobs in the US, he could move a few of his manufacturing plants back home.

JOB APPLICATION

NAME: John Kerry

RESIDENCE:

7 mansions, including Washington, DC, worth multimillions.
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Law Enforcement. I voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA and defense bill in my career as a US Senator. I ordered Boston to remove a fire hydrant which I considered unsightly, in front of my mansion, thereby endangering
my neighbors in the event of fire.

MILITARY:

I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I then returned to the US, joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby
killers. I threw my medals, ribbons, or something away in protest. Or did I? My book; Vietnam Veterans Against the War: The New Soldier shows how I truly feel about the military. I deplore the military!

COLLEGE:

I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my counterpart George Bush, I have no higher education and did not get admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A

PAST WORK EXPERIENCE:

I ran for U.S. Congress and have been there ever since. I have no real world experience except that of a gigolo, by marrying rich women and running HJ Heinz vicariously through my wife Teresa.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

As a US Senator I set the record for the most liberal voting record, exceeding even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. I have consistently failed to support our military and CIA by voting against budgets, thus gutting our country's ability to defend itself. Although I voted for the Iraq War, now I am against it and refuse to admit that I voted for it. I voted for every liberal piece of legislation. I have no plan to help this country but I intend to raise taxes significantly if I am elected.

My wealth so far exceeds that of my counterpart, George Bush, that he will never catch up. I make no or little charitable contributions and have never agreed to pay any voluntary excess taxes in MA, despite family wealth
in excess of $700 million.

I (we) own 28 manufacturing plants (Heinz) outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, Mexico and Europe. We can make more profit from the cheaper cost of labor in those Countries, although I blame George Bush for sending all of
the jobs out of Country.

Although I claim to be in favor of alternative energy sources, Ted Kennedy and I oppose windmills off Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard as it might as it might spoil our view of the ocean as we cruise on our yachts.

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:

None.

PERSONAL

I ride a Serotta Bike.

My Gulfstream V Jet I call The Flying Squirrel.

I call my $850,000 42-foot Hinckley twin diesel yacht the "Scarmouche."

I am fascinated by rap and hip-hop and feel it reflects our real culture.

I own several "Large" SUVs including one parked at my Nantucket summer mansion, though I am against large polluting inefficient vehicles and blame George Bush for the energy problems.

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004

I don't consider myself a Kerry supporter, except to the extent that he's the guy running against Bush. I don't really think too highly of either candidate, so I'm not sure yet what I'll do in November.

As for the military record, I'm not sure how I feel about that, either. He wasn't the only man protesting the war back then, and it's hard for me to judge a man for something he did 32 years ago, when he was 27 (if I did the math right). If I did, I'd have to hold Bush's drunk driving convictions and history of drinking problems (28 years ago, when he was 30) against him too.

Before anyone attacks me, please notice that I'm not saying anything about Kerry's voting record on military issues. I'm only talking about the war protests in the early 70's.

The difference between Kerry and Bush is that Bush said he was wrong. Bush has changed that behavior. I believe Kerry is still a hippy at heart, but a yuppy on the outside. The problem for Kerry is that he loves the rich life he protests and stands against.

Law degree. Boston College. 1976.

District Attorney, 1977-1982. Teresa doesn't run HJ Heinz (which is the ketchup company). She runs the Heinz charities, which does own (or has owned) a few shares in H.J. Heinz, but not enough to have a vote on the board of the company.

"None of this can be disputed..." Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure.

Okay, so I was looking at the big picture when I said that (his mansion lifestyle, his shady Senate voting record, his lack of real work experience, and especially his ULTRA-LIBERAL voting record)

If it weren't the first day of school (I am a teacher, y'all- first and last days of school I shouldn't be allowed to talk to any grown-ups anyway)... I'd have looked harder. As it was, I couldn't find ANY job for the man. I also didn't know (and haven't seen anywhere) that he had a law degree.
So I stand corrected. On THAT.

But the things that matter, still matter.

Actually..., the voting record might be wrong to. I'll have to dig, but I think when that little soundbite made it's way into "conservative collective consciousness", it was based on less than one-half of one Senate term (the most recent). The source of the line didn't look at his whole voting record, of like 2 decades, which leans a lot closer to the center.

Actually, I don't believe there's any point in me looking this up again, since he can't possibly be "the most liberal"! ...Compared to Barbara Boxer?!? No way!!!

National Journal analyzed Kerry's record for 2003 and compiled a liberal score of 96.5% = highest in the Senate.
For comparison~

Paul Sarbanes 94.7%
Barbara Boxer 91.2%
Tom Harkin 89.3%
Ted Kennedy 88.2%

[CagedTroll]

Yeah, that's sort of my point. NR only analyzed 2003. At the same time, they were complaining about his absenteeism in the 2003, without mentioning his regular attendance in previous years (when he wasn't running for President, and which I think I addressed in another thread)...
