Certainly not THIS "rightie." I know you LEFTIES tend to judge folks by party affiliation, but I don't.

Kerry is a stereotypical politician. He stands for nothing. He just tells people what he thinks they want to hear. Had the political climate been different when he started his career, he would be a Republican right now.

Kerry was actually FOR the GOP before he was against it.

He's a sociopath.

It still cracks me up how some Republicans on this site still believe that GWB is a better president than Kerry would have been. I guess there is no cure for some forms of psychosis.
