Kerry Wants U.S. to Honor Communist

John Kerry is at it again. Instead of submitting REAL legislation, he has sponsored a "resolution" to honor someone. This time it is to honor the memory of "a notorious Communist and rabid anti-American".

As sponsor of a resolution that would have the Senate honor the late W.E.B. Du Bois, Kerry is promoting a man who was fervently anti-American, a member of the Soviet-dominated Communist Party, and twice ejected from the NAACP for his opposition to racial integration.

Apparently Kerry still doesn't get it. He doesn't realize, or doesn't care, that he wasn't elected by the people of Massachusetts to submit 1 or 2 resolutions a year. Isn't he supposed to be sponsoring legislation to help his constituents? I suppose that when he runs again in 2008 and this comes up as one of the few things he did while in office, he will try to spin it as support for an African-American historical figure. (BTW - One of the co-sponsors of the resolution is Senator Ted Kennedy, who has already stated that Kerry has his support in '08.)

I guess this resolution ("support for African-Americans"), plus his co-sponsoring of Hillary's felon voting rights bill ("protecting the voting rights of the disenfranchised"), his recent visit to SYRIA ("diplomacy") and his public statements about everything he thinks President Bush is doing wrong is just part of his grand plan for his 2008 bid for the Presidency.

Teresa Heinz (she dropped the -Kerry from her name since her husband failed to win the election) is aiding him in her usual fashion, making outrageious accusations about the legitimacy of last year's election.

"Two brothers own 80 percent of the machines used in the United States," Heinz told a lunch for Seattle Rep. Adam Smith on Saturday, referring to the brothers as "hard right" Republicans.

She argued that it is "very easy to hack into the mother machines," in quotes picked up by the Seattle Post Intelligencer.


Are these people just clueless, or do they really think that most Americans are that forgetful or that stupid?

Of course, it would be interesting to see Kerry and Clinton duke it out for the nomination in '08, don't you think?
