Obama-Backing Senator Makes Crack About McCain Wearing Adult Diapers

News you cant use

I remember you making the same “Depends” joke not too long ago, Jake.

I denounce and repudiate these remarks from Senator Kerry.
POTUS OBAMA – Still a Lock!

I am not for Obama and neither are a lot of people I know that were backing him 2 months ago. I am already sick of Obama and he is not in office yet. Now he is going to plug up the airwaves with 30 minute Tv spots on the 29th of October, on abc, cbs, nbc, fox news for 15 minutes, msnbc.
If he is so ahead in the polls why not just send the campaign contribution back to the people and not waste money on TV spots you don’t need because you are winning. I voted for him in the primary but I wont in the general.

What a jerk. I think these guys are little too cocky. But it will totally be acceptable for the MSM… imagine if this had been a racial slander. Oh the humanity of it all.

Not appropriate from Sen. Kerry. It’s beneath him, tastless, and doesn’t help Obama at all.

As the Oldest guy at work, I hear the same joke.

“If he is so ahead in the polls why not just send the campaign contribution back to the people and not waste money”
If McCain is so far behind perhaps he should concede and not spend tax payer money in a Man from LaMancha fashion.

It’s only getting worse for John McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis. Following the news that Davis was paid $2 million over five years as president of an advocacy group set up by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the New York Times now reports that Freddie Mac paid Davis’s lobbying firm $15,000 a month up until last month. The firm was kept on the payroll because of Davis’s close ties to McCain. The news comes after McCain insisted that Davis has had no involvement with Freddie Mac for several years, leading progressive bloggers to wonder whether McCain lied to Americans or whether Davis lied to McCain.

Lighten Up… It’s a joke, and it’s about the OLDEST potential president ever to be elected… Since there is a minimum age to be president(40)there should also be a maximum age…I suggest 67.

Jake, why do you even perpetuate this crap (no pun intended) by repeating it?
Can’t the media focus on the ISSUES for a change instead of blowing the drama all out of proportion?

And that my friends may be your next sec of state. Perhaps he should release his total military record.
God Help Us

Oh please Mccain himself has Made fun of his age, this comment is no where near comments that have came out of Mccain Backers referring obama to Bin Laden now thats not funny!

And those who are faking outrage – have you not heard that one yet? It’s been on comedy routines and blogs for AGES!

DENOUNCE AND REPUDIATE!
Kerry, that was wrong. Funny, but wrong. You know that B Rock doesn’t play that!
POTUS OBAMA – Even Without Depends, it’s still a LOCK

Why do we come to this Jake Tapper’s blog???
I have noticed that he always put something negative about McCain and Obama on this blog!!!!
This is NOT NEWS but putting people against each other and Jake Tapper the Referee!!!
Remember to all!!!! We will All be seniors faster than we want, especially Tapper, who needs his DEPENDS right NOW!!!
Two Face Pissing Dog!!!!
Obama/Biden08

Actualy Kerry was talking about all the Depend jokes out there and what kind of Boxers etc. Read his statement agin he said it was the lowest common denominator, from the press.
Gety a life folks he was slamming the media, but the media in it’s true form doesn’t understand the english language, and again goes for the lowest common denominator. Just check this post.

There is a difference here:
Kerry is just making a mean off the cuff joke.
McCain is paying people millions of dollars to promote focus-group tested smears.
One is pre-meditated and performed with the consent and material support of a political campaign… the other is just some bitter guy talking without thinking.

Joe Biden says Obama will need our help withing 6 months because he is unfit to handle a crisis.

—————Ya ain’t that the truth geevill
Do the have CRISIS teleprompters??
Will Bo have to grab his skinny ass and run for the hills?
Thank god he has JOE, 6 term Senator Joe.
Joe will be the better president!!

classless. absolutely classless. This is proof positive that America made the right decision when we dumped Sen. Kerry for Pres. Bush. at least Pres. Bush wouldn’t make such crass and classless smears.

Um, it’s a joke for one. Two, it is not mean spirited (unless people think the comedy routines by Obama & McCain at the Al Smith Foundation fundraiser were mean spirited) but funny. Finally, Kerry is only a few years younger than McCain, so he is kind of an old man as well.
And, actually, why am I having to defend this? Is the idea here that McCain can’t take a lighthearted joke that has been told before?

Thought that was pretty funny, but then Republicans don’t have a sense of humor about anything unless they are putting American soldiers in harm’s way so they can get cheap gas for their SUVs.

haha… In a world where it’s OK to kill other people for religious purposes, OK to destroy the planet, OK to take money from people because the economy is screwed – in that world, people find a joke about adult diapers offensive….
Well… glad priorities are on the right track.

I agree it is classless for Kerry to say. But it was funny.

Don’t people understand? Republicans don’t have a sense of humor!!!!!!!

Geevil, the truth of the matter is that the new President will be tested, no matter whether it is Obama or McCain. And whoever it is will need help. Period.

I LIVE IN MASS EVERYONE I KNOWS CANT STAND HIM BUT KNOWING THIS STATE WE ALWAYS PUT THE SAME CROOKED POLITICIANS BACK IN.WATCH THIS STATE PUT BARNEY FRANK IN AGAIN.

It’s usually only funny to the Repubs when it’s about a Dem. And same thing with the Dems, only funny when it’s about a Repub. Otherwise they are both crying about “negative campaigning”. The personal attacks are getting stale no matter which side engages in them. Unfortunately, for some partisan diehards, it’s never enough to simply disagree with the opposing candidate – the opposing candidate must be made into an evil sniveling dolt. There is probably some psychological reason for this need. Perhaps these partisans get so emotionally involved they loose objectivity – so that any disagreement is taken as personal.

Senator Obama has been running his campaign using sewer political tactics since the very beginning. He talks to the weak minded and uninformed–lemmings following a very corrupt, anti-American agenda. Socialism is an evil idea.

The big “Change you can believe in” for Obama is gonna be PW by Nancy Pelosi as Rev. Jesse Jackson squeezes his “lack of.” Cleaned it up a little, Jake. Maybe you won’t delete it this time.

Speak for yourself Ryan and people like you will, should Big “O” and even bigger, “MO” be elected – Perish the thought of that, but by some fluke if that happens you will regret the day that you subjected your family and your country to that Marxist, socialist, corrupt Chicago Pol and his Angela Davis proxy wife. By the way I am a Democrat but I would never vote for those people- I also might add Joe Biden is the stupidest piece of humanity that I have ever seen, Vice President, No I don’t think so – He’s a nut case, perhaps he can go down to Rosies Diner in Wilmington and have a 20 year old piece of “Sweet Potato Pie” for his buddy Obama.

Ryan C: Yes, but Obama is the biggest joke. He is a joke because he’s running for president without knowledge, experience or foreign policy. That’s why Powell jumped on his bandwagon because he is fearing a win by McCain. Powell knows Obama lacks everything in politics. But this is also a race issue and Powell being a republican is supporting Obama because he is half black like Powell.

I LIVE IN MASS EVERYONE I KNOWS CANT STAND HIM BUT KNOWING THIS STATE WE ALWAYS PUT THE SAME CROOKED POLITICIANS BACK IN.WATCH THIS STATE PUT BARNEY FRANK IN AGAIN.

****************************
You obviously know a whole bunch of non-voters
in the State.

That joke is as old as Bob Dole, Tapper.

OMG, Joe the Plumber in Congress! A whack-job that does not pay his taxes? Hilarious. Sure hope he runs, that race will be a blast to watch.

I normally don’t get into name-calling, but since McCain’s calling Obama a socialist, I think it’s only fair for Kerry to say that McCain wears depends…….

Here’s a riddle for all the mudslinging Obamabots and media fiends with a tingle running up their legs.
Q: “How many people are tired of being belittled for not supporting Obama?” A: We’ll know on election day.
Whether you supported HRC or always liked McCain, you know how it feels to have the media and bots turn on you. You don’t like Obama? You must be ‘uneducated’, ‘overly-wealthy’, ‘old’, ‘racist’, etc.
Talk about the ‘endless Wright loops?’ How about characterizing McCain supporters as crazy ladies asking about Obama being a Muslim? How many times did the media loop that one this month? SNL picked it up in Weekend Update. Did I miss the SNL skit on Wright??
Bottom line – people don’t like being ridiculed or belittled. Some will lie in polls – i.e. Bradley effect – for fear of being judged racist. Others just stop communicating. They keep their opinions to themselves for now – but I suspect they will find their voices on election day.
The race may be tighter than appearances. Who’ll win? To borrow a line from Sen. Kerry…depends…

“Joe the plumber said that Obama’s tax plan is a socialist. And it was also confirmed by a financial director on the Huckabee show”
So Joe the guy who has a thing for self aggrandizement was confirmed by a FoxNews flack.
Not sure if that even makes it to factoid status.

Imagine for a few moments that you are the human
resources director of a major multi-billion dollar
corporation. You are sitting in your large,
luxurious office when you receive a phone call from
the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
He tells you that the board is considering a
candidate for a high-level executive position. He
advises you to complete a thorough background
investigation and have it to him within 10 days.
You immediately call the private detective agency
you have used for years and give them the name and
address of the prospective candidate, along with the
deadline for a high level security clearance.
Your next move is to call your assistant to your
office, giving him/her the candidate’s personal
information along with instructions to ‘do your
standard beginning background checks.’
Preliminary findings begin landing in your fax
machine on the third day.
* Your candidate has used more than one name.
* His original birth certificate is unavailable, and
* he was mentored during his youth by a high level
communist in Hawaii.
* You receive a 3 page ‘dossier’ on Frank Marshall
Davis.
* You also learn the candidate was proctored into an
elite Eastern private university by a middle eastern
Muslim.
* You receive a short dossier on Khalid al-Mansour.
* You learn the candidate has terrorist organization
‘Nations of Islam’ employees on his current staff,
and one of his advisers is a member of the global
terrorist group ‘Muslim Brotherhood.’
On day four, you receive in the mail from the
security agency two books the candidate has written.
You read both books, highlighting the anti-American,
anti-white racist passages. You note the admissions
of drug use.
You also receive in the packet a copy of the bitter
anti-white thesis his wife wrote as a college
undergraduate.
You receive a 4 page fax on the candidate’s
relative, Raila Odinga, who is connected with brutal
Muslim politics in Africa, and background
information on the candidate’s estranged father who
was part of Kenya’s most corrupt regime.
The fifth day brings to your special delivery mail
* the complete background on Bill Ayers; his
association with your candidate, his FBI criminal
record, and
* a copy of the book ‘Rules for Radicals’ written by
communist Saul Alinsky.
* You are advised your candidate used tactics from
‘Rules for Radicals’ at his previous employment.
* You are advised the candidate’s wife used an
excerpt from this book during a recent speech.
You receive by fax, a background on A.C.O.R.N. and
an alert
* that this group is being watched by the U.S.
Department of Justice and other state and local law
enforcement agencies.
* You learn your candidate is endorsed by every
Muslim terrorist organization on Earth; that he
holds Muslim beliefs.
* His friend, Louis Farrakhan, is head of Nations of
Islam
.
* You learn that the candidate’s pastor met with
global terrorist Mohmmar Gaddafi in Libya, along
with their mutual friend and anti-American Louis
Farrakhan.
* You receive printed transcripts of his pastor’s
anti-White, anti-American ‘sermons’ and are advised
your candidate has been close personal friends with
this ‘pastor’ for two decades.
* Your candidate has referred to this radical pastor
as his ‘personal spiritual adviser,’ and in fact,
the title of one of your candidates memoirs was
inspired by a line from this pastor’s ‘sermons.’
In your fax machine on the sixth morning is
* a file on one Tony Rezko; his friendship,
associations and business transactions with your
candidate, as well as high level ‘people’ of middle
eastern origin, and his federal conviction.
You will spend most of day seven compiling a file on
the candidate, The Obama File , complete with
footnotes and cross references.
Additional information is arriving regarding the
candidate’s friends and acquaintances during
college, and you learn that
* he did not run with a mainstream crowd, but chose
radicals and communist agitators for his social
group.
The morning of the eighth day has arrived and you
and your assistant have placed a small mountain of
background information into manageable ‘piles’
including
* photographs of the candidate’s family in Africa,
* he and George Soros (including a brief file on the
Soros ‘Open Society Institute’),
* photos of the candidate and Louis Farrakhan and
anti-Israel Arafat adviser Edward Said.
You begin to outline and write your ‘Summary
Evaluation’ to the Chairman of the Board of
Directors:
* This candidate has a tissue thin work experience
resume.
* He has not managed large groups of personnel,
departments, material, or P&L statements.
* This candidate’s own writing exhibits a
deep-seeded anger and resentment towards people of
the Caucasian race over the issue of slavery.
* His emotional gravitas is centered upon his
African heritage, and his belief that the white man
is responsible for global poverty and unequal
sharing of wealth.
* The candidate’s personal associations since
childhood have been mostly with radical African
Americans, Muslims, and communists; those who harbor
anger towards The United States of America.
* Particularly disturbing is his lengthy
relationship with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant
Weatherman radical who bombed government buildings
and abdicated the overthrow of the United States.
* Given the current global situation of nearly
twelve thousand Muslim acts of terrorism since 911,
it is disturbing to find his close associations with
Muslim groups
* I have highlighted passages in both books and find
one particularly disturbing: ‘Should the political
winds shift in an ugly direction I will side with
the Muslims.’
* The candidate has surrounded himself with
anti-American grievance mongers, and appears to
manipulate ‘typical white people’ by appealing to
their guilt about slavery.
* He is a socialist, and totally disenfranchised
from the history of ‘root America.’
* The candidate refuses to discuss his years at
Columbia University, although he lived off campus
and made few friends.
* He will not release his application to the state
bar notes which raises questions on several issues
including the use of drugs.
* Very little is available about his experience with
the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a foundation that
spent $100 million with no discernible benefit for
the schools and students that it was putatively
designed to help
It is therefore my strongest recommendation this
candidate not be considered for any position within
the corporation.
Do your own research and come to your own conclusions

You seem to want to blast McCain’s time as a POW. Everyone breaks under torture. At least he did serve our country. What would you be saying if Obama had and done the same thing. Walk a mile in McCain’s shoes as a POW before you criticize him as a POW.

Frat boy jokes. Nice Jake. Nice.

When the cricis comes and it will Obama will fold and end up in a fetal position under the Resolute desk. He is so wishey washey he can’t settle on an answer without checking with McCain first. We can just be safe and put McCain in the Whitehouse.

answer:
++++++ AMERICA ++++++++++
How many of you got that? Lets see your hands. ROFL

Kerry never did learn that even when jokes are funny, it may still be a good idea to keep your mouth shut.

If he is so ahead in the polls why not just send the campaign contribution back to the people and not waste money”.
…………OR benefit his campaign and the people by donating some of that moolah to some of the many empty food pantries!
naaH!
It’s just like his acceptance of the nomination (which he bought) which had to be held in the biggest available arena!
Had B O been a republican, he would have ridden in on the back of an elephant in full elephant attire…..
Such a star!
Burlesque!

=============
Ryan, that’s an old article you copied and posted. Davis hasn;t been on any payroll except McCains for two years.

Biden is a bizaar little man but he seems to have a 6th sense about Obama’s fitness to serve as the Commander in Chief. He was spooky..appropriate with Halloween approaching. I wonder if they will have Obama masks this year. Can’t think of anything scarrier.

“Biden is a bizaar little man”
Biden is over 6 feet tall.
McCain seems to have psychological hang ups based on his relative shortness. That could explain his famous temper

Hear that McCain is giving up on Co. Might as well concede the race.

In 2005 Bush called for more regulation on Fannie and Freddie but was blocked by democrats. Ask Obama about his campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie. Look it up.

“Ask Obama about his campaign contributions from Fannie and Freddie. Look it up”
Rick Davis’s firm took in $280K just for 2008 from Fannie Mae. He also made several million dollars in the previous years. They were collecting $15,000 a month until Aug and the scandal hit.
Obama’s total contributions from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac are less than half that total(about $130K).
The Republicans controlled Congress in 2005 & 2006. McCain did not cosponsor S.190 until it had been dead in committee for over a year.

According to Biden in the Vice Presidential debate Obama and Biden are committed to doubling foreign aid, but because of the economy and the financial crisis may have to postposne it. Do we really need to double foreign aid?

RYANC:
Obama’s ‘total contributions’ from Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac amounted to the second LARGEST….. even though he was ‘in on the take for the shortest period of time’!
HE is always in on the “take”… whether it’s money Rezko had put aside to heat his broken down tenements, or
kickbacks in the form of an excessive annual raise from Michele’s employer for favors promised and granted .
And he RARELY finishes anything!
In Chicago, low-cost housing developments remain unfinished from way back during his first term of office….
Why would you expect him to do any better in Washington?
Just because he is a smooth talking Chicago politician ?
hmmmmmmm.
I would hope not!

Bernie it is nice to see someone else recomending to check the facts themselves.

McCain who has been silent on Fannie Mae for a few years now….hmmmmmmmm
Actually he wanted more regulation as Bush did in 2005 which was blocked by democrats. Look up the facts yourself.

factcheck? isn’t that part of the the liberal organization the annenberg foundation.

John Kerry is the smartest man in the world. Just look at him go after the senior vote that Obama desperately needs in Florida. Brilliant!

Who cares? It was a joke…get it..a joke…

what an ass O kerry is. Thank a democrat in NOV VOTE NO NO REID PELOSKI obama

kerry is a pathetic jerk, just like obama.

Is that the same John Kerry who served in Viet Name?
CC

Good lord, republicans will do *anything* (and play the fake outrage game over the silliest things) to avoid talking about the issues.

Its funny how all the Republicans are angry. They’ve thrown everything at Oboma/Biden and they get angry at a Joke. Come on grow up. Stick to the issues Thats the way the cookie crumbles.

Just when you thought John Kerry couldn’t sink any lower. That comment crossed EVERY boundry of good taste and common decency.

“McCain was a co sponsor to bring more regulation to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The bill was S.190 in 2005. Barack was not on it.”
McCain did not cosponsor S.190 until May of 2006.
In 2006 Obama authored a bill addressing mortgage fraud (it also remained in committee)
“However Barack likes to say that he sponsored a bill to put transparency in the ear mark problem. Half true… Obama was CO sponsor and not the original sponsor. The creator of the bill was republican Senator Coburn of Oklahoma. The second thing that Obama is hiding is that John McCain was also a co sponsor.”
John McCain cosponsored the original bill. Since the passage of that bill, Sen Coburn and Obama have worked together to improve and expand upon that bill.

that wasn’t the question crany.. or is it crony… as in “cronyism”
hmmmmmm
Anyways, the question was about magazines.
(Today, the only papers and TV and radio channels which provide unbiased information are in England…)
Obama is a wimp who’s afraid of Palin and thus the dirt squad.
I remember the first barrage of anti-Palin garbage that shot out of OUR airwaves… the short held story about her being the mother of her daughter’s son…..
Obama, who tells everyone “families are off limits”…. was willing to let this child be a victim of the media…
he was willing to throw her to the lions!
Of course, this was before they came out with the second story……which, unfortunately was true and which Sarah Palin faced like the strong woman she is!
Viva Palin!
Couric is beyond her prime

didnt John Kerry serve in Vietnam?

Kerry’s a loser.

BUT
“John McCain cosponsored the original bill.”
and don’t forget it!

this is exactly the dignity, grace and class that we have come to expect from the democrats.
and to think! in an obama administration, this clown wants to be the secretary of state!
*SHUDDER*

What a moron. I thought he is supposed to be one of the Elite Intellectuals.

This is the genious who consistently called Bush “stupid.” When it came out that his grades were actually lower than Bush’s, he said that “D meant distinguished.” Typical lying democrat. Say anything and let the tools/community organizers repeat it until people believe it.

the lies, the baiting, the re herrings, the manipulation, the greed, the American people expect it from you Republicans. We see through you, and you will no only lose the presidential election but you will lose more seats in congress. Start treating the process with some respect or you are going the way of the Whigs.

first Kerry thinks it’s fine to make fun of active duty military by calling them stupid, now this. what a loser

I could same something negative against Senator Kerry. But his feelings would be hurt and he would run to the Defense Department demand another Purple Heart.

Kerry, like Obama, is low-rent.

I wear Depends some of the time as a result of cancer and I find absolutely NOTHING funny about Kerry’s “joke”.
Wait til you have a health issue.

Obama and his surrogates have attacked people of age, color, sex, religion, economic background, etc, in order to get some sucker votes. Obama has run the most dirty campaign in all of US history, bar none.
It is common that if you dont like a socialist, you must be a racist, since Obama is black. Well, I dont care what number of shoes he wears either but he is still a socialist.

Mccain’s age is an issue that should be explored. He’s not healthy. His age is an obstacle. If Obama was 72 the republicans would be pointing it out every day. Kerry as always lacks tack, but the underlying observation of the joke is a legit concern.

ummmmmm, this same joke was said about Bob Dole in ’96. Kerry can’t even find an original joke. what a loser…

Kerry === this is the guy you asked to be YOUR VP twice; what a partisan fraud you are.
I am embarrassed to be in Massachusetts.

Kerry threw his medals over the fence and his fellow veterans under the bus. McCain took extra torture and extra years in a cage to protect his POWs. There’s a special place for scumbuckets like Kerry, and I’m sure glad it wasn’t The White House. Please say more, wretched Dems. It’s just more McCain votes from people who haven’t sworn their lives to The One.

John Kerry wasn’t he the joke from last time?

This statement by John Kerry illustrates his IQ. How he stays on the hill is something I do not understand. They keep returning him.

Stay classy, Senator Kerry!

I am suddenly afraid at the thought of growing old in this country.

“If McCain is so far behind perhaps he should concede and not spend tax payer money in a Man from LaMancha fashion.”
…………………..
a bit late on this comment but i had to address it. public funds for campaigns are donated knowlingly by citizens. THEY ARE NOT taken from general taxes (income, etc…). anyone who has gone in and had their license renewed has had the chance to donate money for public funding of elections.

what does kerry and obama have in common?
57!

Who woke up John Kerry. Man go back to sleep….

Just another example of the lack of clas on the far left.

John Kerry is the same arrogant horse’s ass he was when I served with him on USS Gridley in 1968. He went back to nam but a hero he isn’t. He is an embarrassment to the US Navy, the United Sates, the Senate, and the state of Massachusetts.

ROFLMAO.
Right wingers actually think this joke will get seniors to vote for McCain when McCain plans to privatize Social Security and cut MediCare by a TRILLION dollars.
ROFLMAO

Once again another reason to recall the Democrats…they are inappropriate, they are arrogant on top of being liberal and socialist. Kerry didn’t learn anything about right, wrong, didn’t learn any common sense and if this is the stuff he is made of he belongs in the garbage with he has helped create while being in Congress

Agesism is just as bad as Racism!

These are the intolerant bigoted jackasses who will have full unbridled power to ruin this country and turn it into a socialist cesspool. God save us all.

Stop whining everyone. Get out and vote. Get your friends out to vote. “Depends” don’t matter. Bill Ayers doesn’t matter, nor do ACORN, Rev Wright, and Obama’s middle name. But YOUR VOTE does matter.

With a face that look’s like the south end of a north-bound horse, Kerry “The Ketchup King” should keep his comments to himself.

THANK YOU for your Liberal Compassion John Kerry.

stay classy john.

Just play it safe and call him a terrorist’s pal, Kerry. Making jokes about his age is so unPC.

What an idiot he is.

The Depends jokes are tired Leno fodder, but particularly apropos coming from a 65-year-old “friend” to the Senator from Arizona.

This joke was told by Jay Leno during the Clinton years when Clinton was asked that question by some high school student. Leno then used the “depends” line about Bob Dole.

HOW IT SHOWS THE DEPTH OF KERRY’S INTELLIGENCE.
HAAAAA KERRY LOOKS LIKE MUNSTER EVEN WITH HIS BOTOX!!
I hope Mass boots him out of the Senate…hes been in way too long ahhhh 30Yrs…what has he done? ahhh ahhhha ahhhh He has not sponsored ONE piece of legislation well maybe one…

Depends? Sounds like Kerry is flip-flopping again….

What a truly tacky thing to say. As bad as Bush has been, stuff like this just makes me glad we got him instead of the tasteless, crass arrogance of John Kerry. At least with Bush we have a classy First Lady.

John Kerry has absolutely no class.

Yet another conservative has abandonded John McCain over his pick of the unqualified Palin.

Ryan C. Have you ever served yourself?????????

You would think that a person who had very serious prostate surgery would not make such a joke. After that surgery, before he was allowed to use to Depends, John Kerry first had to be weaned off a catheter. I can’t believe this experience didn’t soften him or otherwise reach his humanity. This is yet more proof he should not have been elected president in 2004. Bullet dodged.

“I’m still waiting for JFK to release his military records,as he promised Tim Russert he would on Meet the Press in the spring of 2004.”
He released his records in 2005.
“The Swift Boat Veterans were right about him,”
The Swift Boat veterans were proven to be liars and now their name is synonymous with a disgusting political smear.

If someone with McCain’s experience in government chooses Palin as a running mate who am I with no experience to question that decision. Though she doesn’t have “Washington ” experience, that doesn’t mean she is totally wrong for the job. I think it is a plus that she doesn’t have “Washington” experience

Kerry is an established idiot — and this was his latest Joe Biden/Neal Kinnock moment.
The “Depends” joke dates back to the Clinton/Dole race. Then, at least, it was funny.
Look it it up, young people!
The history of the Democratic Party is recapitulating itself as farce.
P.S. Just wondering — Why were there dozens of news service stories about McCain’s $500 loafers when Kerry wore two dozen pairs of John Lobb bespoke shoes at six or eight thousand a pop during his own campaign?

I am so glad that the northeastern highly educated elitists like Barack and Joe and John as well as the media know what’s best for me. When Barack is elected I can fire all my employees and sign up for health care and wait for Joe the Plumber’s wealth to be spread around to me. I am so tired of risk taking and hard work and paying for healthcare and my mortgage. I can’t wait!

Ryan, tell me what is it about Sarah Palin a GOVERNOR of a STATE, that you are not pleased with?
Barack Oblahblah has far less experience.
He is a product of the chicago Machine.
Please to not tell me that you are a former conservative voting for BO.
He is the most extreme liberal running a fake moderate campaign. do your own research!!

“testified against his fellow vets, making up lies”
Kerry was testifying against the government’s policy in Vietnam, not the troops.
Americans don’t like wiping out thousands of innocent people as a matter of instituted military policy.

I agree that Kerry has a lot to be ashamed of. Just don’t let the fact that he did serve be one of them. Let it be what he tried to do with it. Most veterans from combat only talk of it with others who shared the same thing. McCain brings his up to show he has the strength and courage to tackle anything that comes his way. He may have broke as all do but he didn’t take the early release before others and was tortured more severly because of it. Willing to take punishment to see something through is my kind of person.

ONE HAS TO WONDER HOW KERRY MUST FEEL STLL BEING THE GUY WHO PICKED THE WORST VP CANDIDATE IN HISTORY.

Washington Post reported Kerry is top of the list to be Obama’s secretary of state.
A vote for Obama is a vote for Kerry as Secretary of state.

Obama tells philly he rooting for them,
then he tells TB he rooting for them….what phony

“He is the most extreme liberal running a fake moderate campaign. do your own research!!”
Funny coming from someone regurgitating Rush.
The most liberal claim is based on a National Journal survey. In 2007 when he missed 33 of the 99 votes studied to determine a rating, Obama rated as the most liberal Senator. In 2006 he was the 10th. In 20056 he was the 14th.

John Kerry is hysterical. Didn’t you see how funny his campaign was when he ran for President? It was hysterical. He actually thought he could win!! Funny as anything!!!

Hooray for Liberalism! This is the END of conservatism. They dug their own graves. “Conservative” will soon be the dirty word. HIP HIP HOORAY.

“Yes I did serve. 18 months in Vietnam which is enough said. I came home to a country that made me feel ashamed to be here. When the people of the country don’t support their veterans it is a shameful thing.”
Yes it was quite horrible when right winger and conservatives turned their backs on our Vietnam veterans because they had lost to say nothing of the fight for care for PTSD among other things. That’s a shame that will haunt us for a very long time.
I would tend to accept you as a veteran but I watch you say nothing as right wingers insult Kerry’s service.
Even John McCain felt he had to say something.

I did say not to criticize his service. However what he tried to accomplish after using false information is something he should be ashamed of. And it wasn’t right wingers that turned their backs on returning veterans during that time it was the protesters, hippies and love children.

Thank you Rosemary and yes God Bless America

“it looks like our Armed Forces are not interested in an Obama Presidency”
The Center for Responsive Politics, which analyzes campaign finance data, reports that a surge of donations for Mr. McCain in the final months he was able to accept campaign contributions moved him into the lead. By the end of August, Mr. McCain received $461,350 from military donors to $450,950 for Mr. Obama.
One of the interesting trends of the election was that anti-war candidates, not only Mr. Obama but also Ron Paul, were getting more support from the uniformed military than hawkish Mr. McCain. That remains the case. Mr. Obama received $340,400 from members of the uniformed service branches compared to $321,500 for Mr. McCain. Mr. Paul had taken in $213,000 from uniformed service members.
The report also shows that Mr. Obama also is ahead of Mr. McCain in military donors with overseas addresses, both those working for the Department of Defense as well as members of the uniformed services. A total of $74,650 came in for Mr. Obama from those posted overseas to $16,600 for Mr. McCain.

I fail to understand why Democrats feel the need to constantly insult others. Kerry should realize by now that such constant arrogant behavior loses elections and congressional votes (just ask our Speaker), it doesn’t win them. Will they insult me,my wife or kids next if we dare disagree? This comment just insulted my parents.
I tired of the Democrats insults and won’t vote for any of them.

Yet, John Kerry will never fill the shoes of her
wife ‘s late husband, the Great John Heinz.
I bet you like his money though.
I’m just a gigolo, everywhere I go…..

Enough with the PTSD stuff Ryan. Most of the guys I know who have claimed it were rear echelon types looking for a handout, not all but most. The problem is it is not able to be disproven and can give a person of low morals a free meal ticket for life, but hey, who cares as long as they vote democratic. And yes, I did spend a year in combat as an infantryman.

Is that why VFW refused to admit Vietnam Vets for quite awhile?
Is that why when we won the Gulf War we were exercising the ghosts of Vietnam?
Is that why right wingers dismiss PTSD even now?
I was a memnber of the VFW the same year I left the service. So that isn’t true.
No we weren’t exorcising ghosts from Vietnam. We were righting a wrong. Thank god the countrty did support those troops.
In general most politicians haven’t wanted to deal with any veteran after his servioe had ended. The only one I hear that relly wants to now is McCain. The democrats cry to have us leave Iraq before the job is finished yet we have been in Germany for 60+ years and the same for Korea. Isn’t it time to leave those countries?? When Vietnam became a political promise of Nixon we left and 55000 serving their country died in vain.

Kerry is a looser

I’m not as concerned with McCains depends as I am with Kerry/Obamas Karl Marx underoos. And oh by the way, govenment “spreading the wealth around” is the simplest and most accurate definition of socailism I can think of.

Ryan C I missed you. I just said a good night to you on the other board you were hyperventilating on. Any way my message is. We are all responsible for ourselves and no matter who gets elected President we should not forget this. Although I know Obamas followers think he is the answer to all their problems. NOT SO. Stay Cool Ryan C, your candidate may get in and then we’ll see how well this plays out for all of us. But do calm down I worry about you, you may have a stroke. And believe me as a Mass. resident I can honestly and truly say Kerry is an a..

Maybe mortarman would agree with me that most combat veterans know that while war is sometimes inevitable we also know it should be the last resort. I would rather have a veteran in office that knows that than someone who has never worn the uniform

Myself? I have not served. My uncles, grandfathers etc have but the military did not interest me when I came of age.
Thanks for the honesty. The military isn’t for everybody. I would just hope that if your country had needed you, you would have answered the call. Evil only triumphs when good men do nothing.

Ryan C. I would suggest you look into Radical Islam. Understand that young children are being taught that america must be destroyed. Rent the movie Radical Islam: The war on terror and understand what our children will be facing if nothing is done. The sadness is that the area has been waging this war amonst themselves for 2000 years. It show they do have the resolve to see it through.

Bush said about the war that we were going to wage a war on Global terrorism. That meant every terrorist organization and any country that supports terrorism as a weapon. At the time the country was in favor of that approach.

What is the problem with getting help for a medical condition?
There is no problem if you need help and actually have the condition. But when you don’t and want help and money for a so called disability that you don’t have that is a problem. Most veterans like myself who use the veterans healthcare or help are senior citizens. We deal with whatever the issues are until age does us in.

Another “classyone”… What you’re saying, Rodney, is no good…

A gift for Ryan: this is Joe Biden, 2002: “I do not believe this is a rush to war. I believe it is a march to peace and security. … (Saddam Hussein) possesses chemical and biological weapons and is seeking nuclear weapons.” Further, Biden insisted: “We must be clear with the American people that we are committing to Iraq for the long haul; not just the day after, but the decade after.”
He’s your Joe, Ryan. Both of him.

Kerry is a piece of garbage. Look at his wife and decide. She tells him what to do and when. She rules him.

I am from Massachusetts and I will NEVER vote for Kerry for ANYTHING in my entire life except possibly for LOSER OF THE YEAR.
He stood there like a dumb ass and watched a person get tased.
Now he promotes DISRESPECT for an HONORABLE man.
KERRY SUX SOOOOOO BAD
I am ashamed to admit I ever voted for this LOSER!!!

“….—and amake believe plumber better known as a scab.—that is what is called leadership..mccain style.
__________________
Actually Rodney, this crapola is called “sleazership, OBAMA style’1

Now everyone knows why Kerry lost. He is a complete jackass, Liberal Democrat through and through. He hates all press outside of his Liberal MSM.

Kerry hasn’t changed any his jokes are just as bad as they have always been.

i like rich people they have lots of money to be taken—-lets start with mccains.>>>>>
=========================
Why start there? Howard Dean, Kerry / Heinz, Kennedy, Pelosi and Boxer have all the money in the world…….The lying , limousine liberals should be in jail, especially Pelosi who runs chains of NON UNION restaurants….Phoney bitch

Obama would beat any of the
founding fathers if they ran
against him today.

As if John Kerry has room to talk. Because of his lies before the select Senate Committee on the Viet Nam War he literally caused the death of 300,000 Cambodians. I remember the day I came home through the LA Airport and was spit on by these drugged up fruitcakes. If it hadn’t been for the security force, there would have been some major butt whooping. When I finally got checked in and sat down in the break room and saw Kerry on television and heard him talking about me, I thought to myself, “What The”! Then to find out he was nominated to run for president. Only in America. Now here we go again with this guy Obama. Are Americans that hard up that we can’t get one decent candidate? There are 300 million people here for crying out loud. The reason Kerry sleeps well at night is because he is worth 100 million bucks. Typical Liberal, he can relate with the poor.

Somewhere in the world, someone is dying from Aids, genocide, honor killing or whatever, and this subject is the one that you choose to cover, Tapper? Is this how you would want to be remembered as a journalist–”Wrote underwear news?” Or is this supposed to be your idea of “undercover” journalism?

TACKY, rude, and so proper for a U.S. Senator.

John Kerry was born in 1943. That makes him 65…isn’t that “old” too?
Geez, leftist hypocrisy again. No surprise here.

Kerry is a loser. He needs to be voted out of the Senate. He not only disrespected McCain, but all senior citizens.

Seems everyone can make a joke on these blogs and call McCain nasty old man etc, but let Kerry make a joke and everyone gets spastic, lighten up, it was a old person joke!!!

KR asked:
“Is Obama going to condemn Kerry for his remarks.”
Fraid not, he would have to understand kerry’s remarks before he could condemn them.

A Veteran said:
I was a memnber of the VFW the same year I left the service. So that isn’t true.
Just a note: I and 3 of my fellow Vietnam Veterans tried to join the VFW in Andalusia Al in 1974. We were refused membership. We were told that since most of the members of that post were WWII vets, that we would not fit in. I have been asked many times since then to join, but I just didn’t feel like I would “fit in”.

Ed Bott said:
“Sad to hear the tired old lies about the mythical hippies spiting on all the returning veterans.”
Gee Ed, when did you get back from Nam? I got back in 1972. I was “lucky” enough to come back through San Francisco International Airport. Your so called “mythical hippies” were right there, and it was not a welcome home parade.

===8 YEAR LATER AND KERRY IS STILL A LOSER ===

You can’t blame Kerry. So much has been made of George Bush not being the sharpest knife in the drawer, but the fact of the matter is that George Bush graduated ahead of John Kerry from their joint alma mater, Yale.
If that wasn’t enough, John has had to suffer through years of being cuckolded by his wife and benefactor, Theresa Heinz. He was a winner in getting to keep his family name and she’ll even use it every election cycle without too much pleading.

Now I remember why this guy lost. What a dimwitted jerk. He should apologize.
(An Obama supporter)

That is why Kerry is a loser and always will be.

More proof as to why the Munster Lurch-looking Senator Kerry lost the election in 2004. I’m sure elderly, sick or other people who medically need Depends find such a “joke” reprehensible as do those who love these people. Incontinence isn’t funny – especially to those who must endure it.
John Kerry is an elitest moron who blew a Presidential election that was his to easily win.
There is no mental image more hilarious than J. Kerry skulking about wearing a camo outfit and pretending to be a hunter – now there’s a REAL belly laugh!!

Kerry is a pathetic fool….And to think that this piece of trash had the nerve to even run for President. The majority of these lying , crimminal politicians need to face the wrath of the Citizens of this country!…We want REAL CHANGE!, and that means throwing these crooks out of office, and putting them on trial for their crimes against the American Ctitizens!.

Poor Senator Kerry. Ever since it came out about his wife Theresa “Hamass” Heinz Kerry’s support for the terrorists who put bomb belts on their own children, his credible ratings have sunk to well below garbage levels.
I think they just allow him to be senator because they feel sorry for a guy who’s own face resembles Frankenstein’s Monster – and that’s a compliment.

Had Jay Leno told this it would have been funny…tasteless, but funny. John Kerry is the most unfunny person in the world so he can’t pull it off.
Boxers or briefs? (It) depends…..
The key is not to SAY “Depends” as in adult diapers….but to say “…depends” as in “sometimes I wear boxers, sometimes briefs” and then let the listener HEAR “Depends” as in adult diapers.
Kerry probably didn’t mean it as an insult, he just couldn’t tell a decent joke if his life “depends” on it. But, boy I’ll bet this story gives Faux news, “Crying Sean” Hannity, red faced Limbaugh and the other righties some serious knots in their own panties!

Wasn’t McCain the guy Kerry begged to be his VP in 2004? And who refused it?

This is just repulsive. I think John Kerry needs to stay home and keep quiet. Is this really the man Obama wants to be a cabinet Secretary?? Oh my God!

“I normally don’t get into name-calling, but since McCain’s calling Obama a socialist, I think it’s only fair for Kerry to say that McCain wears depends……. Posted by: Brigette_J | Oct 20, 2008 5:03:58 PM” … seriously, what’s wrong w/being a socialist? There are tons of people who are proud to say that they’re a socialist, Ayers being one of them. If you talk like one, act like one… have chains of friends who are one… there is nothing wrong in it. Obama doesn’t hide the fact that he believes in redistributing the wealth. Again, it’s just a difference in beliefs in where one wants america to be. If Obama believes in socialist values, there’s no shame in hiding it.
I don’t agree with him… but that’s not name calling. Unless of course, you think being a socialist is a bad thing…

Why did you post one and not the other, you jerk?

You would be surprised by how many people wear adult diapers, and it’s not funny to them either. I see teens all the way to seniors ordering them online every day.

Why is it that there are so many jokes about adult incontinence? It really isn’t funny if you are the one dealing with it. Just wish people would think Tranquility instead of Depends they are a far superior product than Depends!!!
