=======================
Hey, Jeff.

 JB> Kerry was indisputably brave in Vietnam, and it's kind of cute to see
 JB> Democrats pretend to admire military service. Physical courage, like
 JB> chastity, is something liberals usually deride, but are tickled when it
 JB> accidentally manifests itself in one of their own. One has to stand in
 JB> awe of Kerry's military service 33 years ago. Of course, that's where
 JB> it ends, including with Kerry -- inasmuch as, upon his return from war
 JB> in 1970, he promptly began trashing his fellow Vietnam vets by calling
 JB> them genocidal murderers.

 JB> But if Bush can't talk to Kerry about the horrors of war, then Kerry
 JB> sure as hell can't talk to anyone about the plight of the middle class.
 JB> Kerry's life experience consists of living off other men's money by
 JB> marrying their wives and daughters. For over 30 years, Kerry's primary
 JB> occupation has been stalking lonely heiresses. Not to get back to his
 JB> combat experience, but Kerry sees a room full of wealthy widows as "a
 JB> target-rich environment." This is a guy whose experience dealing with
 JB> tax problems is based on spending his entire adult life being supported
 JB> by rich women.

 JB> What does a kept man know about taxes?

 JB> In 1970, Kerry married into the family of Julia Thorne -- a family
 JB> estimated to be worth about $300 million. She got depressed, so he
 JB> promptly left her and was soon seen catting around with Hollywood
 JB> starlets, mostly while the cad was still married. (Apparently, JFK
 JB> really
 JB> was his mentor.) Thorne is well-bred enough to say nothing ill of her
 JB> Lothario ex-husband. He is, after all, the father of her children -- a
 JB> fact that never seemed to constrain him. When Kerry was about to become
 JB> the latest Heinz family charity, he sought to have his marriage to
 JB> Thorne annulled, despite the fact that it had produced two children. It
 JB> seems his second meal ticket, Teresa Heinz, wanted the first marriage
 JB> annulled -- and Heinz is worth more than $700 million.
 JB> Kerry claims he will stand up to powerful interests, but he can't even
 JB> stand up to his wife. Heinz made Kerry sign a prenuptial agreement,
 JB> presumably aware of how careless he is with other people's property,
 JB> such as other people's Vietnam War medals, which Kerry threw on the
 JB> ground during a 1971 anti-war demonstration.

 JB> At pains to make Kerry sound like a normal American, his campaign has
 JB> described how Kerry risked everything, mortgaging his home in Boston to
 JB> help pay for his presidential campaign. Technically, Kerry took out a
 JB> $6 million mortgage for "his share" of "the family's home" -- which was
 JB> bought with the Heinz family fortune. (Why should he spend his own
 JB> money? He didn't throw away his own medals.) I'm sure the average
 JB> working stiff in Massachusetts can relate to a guy who borrows $6
 JB> million against his house to pay for TV ads.

 JB> Kerry's campaign has stoutly insisted that he will pay off the mortgage
 JB> himself, with no help from his rich wife. Let's see: According to tax
 JB> returns released by his campaign, in 2002, Kerry's income was $144,091.
 JB> But as The Washington Post recently reported, even a $5 million
 JB> mortgage paid back over 30 years at favorable interest rates would cost
 JB> $30,389 a month -- or $364,668 a year.

 JB> The Democrats' joy at nominating Kerry is perplexing. To be sure,
 JB> liberals take a peculiar, wrathful pleasure in supporting pacifist
 JB> military types.

 JB> And Kerry's life story is not without a certain feral aggression. But
 JB> if we're going to determine fitness for office based on life
 JB> experience, Kerry clearly has no experience dealing with problems of
 JB> typical Americans since he is a cad and a gigolo living in the lap of
 JB> other men's money. Kerry is like some character in a Balzac novel, an
 JB> adventurer twirling the end of his mustache and preying on rich women.
 JB> This low-born poseur with his threadbare pseudo-Brahmin family bought a
 JB> political career with one rich woman's money, dumped her, and made off
 JB> with another heiress to enable him to run for president.

 JB> If Democrats want to talk about middle-class tax cuts, couldn't they
 JB> nominate someone who hasn't been a poodle to rich women for past 33
 JB> years?

 JB> Don't forget:
 JB> John Kerry is strong on defense
 JB> He voted to kill the Bradley Fighting Vehicle
 JB> He voted to kill the M-1 Abrams Tank
 JB> He voted to kill every Aircraft carrier laid down from 1988
 JB> He voted to kill the Aegis anti aircraft system
 JB> He voted to Kill the F-15 strike eagle <BR!>
 JB> He voted to Kill the Block 60 F-16
 JB> He voted to Kill the P-3 Orion upgrade
 JB> He voted to Kill the B-1
 JB> He voted to Kill the B-2
 JB> He voted to Kill the Patriot anti Missile system
 JB> He voted to Kill the FA-18
 JB> He voted to Kill the B-2
 JB> He voted to Kill the F117

 JB> In short, he voted to kill every military appropriation for the
 JB> development and deployment of every weapons systems since 1988 to
 JB> include the battle armor for our troops. With Kerry as president our
 JB> Army will be made up of naked men running around with sticks and clubs.
 JB> He also voted to kill all anti terrorism activities of every agency of
 JB> the

 JB> U.S. Government and to cut the funding of the FBI by 60%, to cut the
 JB> funding for the CIA by 80%, and cut the funding for the NSA by 80%. But
 JB> then he voted to increase OUR funding for U.N operations by 800%!!!

 JB> Is THIS a President YOU want?

Amazing stuff.
