10 reasons Kerry will lose...

1- He put a trail-lawyer on his ticket - In the most litigious time in American history he picks one of the biggest ambulance chasers around for a running mate. Many Americans (including myself) have been targeted by frivilous litigation and it has become a flash-point for politics. The thousands of lawyers poised to attack election results just magnifies this issue.
2- Inconsistent messages - He has changed positions on key issues so often he cannot command credibility. He said he would support our attack of Iraq as long as it had "strong international support and the backing of the U.N.", but voted against the first Gulf-War and it's "strong international support and the backing of the U.N."
3- Clinton - Having Bill make "heroic" appearances on his behalf actually hurts him. Clinton was so enormously charismatic (I even looked forward to his appearances) Kerry becomes a very weak figure in his shadow.
4- He was the best Democratic choice - This says more about the state of the democratic party, weak at best. Sharpton, Dean, Kucinich, Braun, and Clark were all picked by Terry McAuliffe who was annointed to the DNC after riding Bill Clinton's coat-tails with Hillary.
5- Base enthusiam - The President enjoys a major lead when the pollsters actually ask voters who they think will win - 72% of republicans say Bush will win, 30% of democrats say Kerry. This is asked by most pollsters but rarely reported and speaks volumes about the confidence of Democrats.
6- The United Nations The ineffective, irrelevent and corrupt UN has Americans of both parties losing confidence in it for over 30 years. Kerry's embracing the UN puts him on the wrong side of American opinion.
7- Teresa Heinz-Kerry - This effite snob has been chasing money all her life and seems to stuff her foot in her mouth every time she opens it. He tries to distance himself from her bombs and in the last debates he even passed on commenting on her, beyond his "marrying well" comment, pointing to his mother as the woman who influenced him. This was after the moderator asked for comments about his wife and daughters! The tax issues last week didn't help...
8- His Vietnam history - So much has been read and said about this, let's just say it's a black-eye to any man wanting to run America's military at a time of war.
9- Disconnection - For various reasons Kerry has never made a connection with people. He pissed-off animal-rights people with his "goose-hunt" while looking silly too real hunters. He is a terrific debater, but Americans want something more than a prep-school-debate-star. He has alienated the church/state crowd with numerous pulpit stump-speeches. He vows to send more troops to Iraq, dispersing the anti-war crowd he first became famous among. And the Mary Cheney gig angered alot of the gay community. Who's next?
10- Headline campaigning - Whoever in his campaign decided to grab the "missing explosives" headline and hammer Bush with it this week is an absolute idiot, and this will backfire on him. Desperate bomb-throwing without waiting for all of the facts to come out has hurt his credibility once again and he is on the wrong side of the argument. His "litmous-test" far attacking Iraq had unreachable standards yet he stamps a label of incompetence on the American military without any supporting facts.
I could be wrong but I think Kerry's not going be as close a contender as polls make him out to be after it's all over.
My election prediction;
Bush 53% (288 electoral votes)
Kerry 44% (250 electoral votes)
Various other nuts - 3% (who cares)

Being a TYPICAL Massachusetts liberal jerkoff won't help him either. He's just a Kennedy wannabe he should wear a sign around his neck.

Ummmmmm..... so is that 102%? Looks like MTVs commercials really help out with voting turnout. Just kidding, honest mistake, i know, but i especially loved point #9. There was a little saying i heard about Kerry and his so called "hunting".

"We hunters wear blaze orange to be seen, but only Kerry wears it as camoflouge"

you know in the past, the one who won all three debates always won the election, and kerry won all three of them. in every debate, kerry won the peoples vote by at least 70%. cnn analysts say the first debate in kerry's favor, and the last two about even, maybe slight edge to kerry. now im not saying kerry will win, just letting you know on a little history, and some numbers, who knows about this one.
