JOB APPLICATION NAME: John Kerry RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including Washington DC, worth multi-millions. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: Law Enforcement. I voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA and defense bill in my career as a US Senator. I ordered Boston to remove a fire hydrant in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my neighbors in the event of fire. MILITARY: I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I then returned to the US, joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby killers. I threw my medals, ribbons, or something away in protest. Or did I? My book; Vietnam Veterans Against the War: The New Soldier shows how I truly feel about the military. COLLEGE: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my counterpart George Bush, I have no higher education and did not get admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and have been there ever since. I have no real world experience except marrying rich women and running HJ Heinz vicariously through my wife Teresa. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: As a US Senator I set the record for the most liberal voting record, exceeding even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. I have consistently failed to support our military and CIA by voting against budgets, thus gutting our country's ability to defend itself. Although I voted for the Iraq War, now I am against it and refuse to admit that I voted for it. I voted for every liberal piece of legislation. I have no plan to help this country but I intend to raise taxes significantly if I am elected. My wealth so far exceeds that of my counterpart, George Bush, that he will never catch up. I make no or little charitable contributions and have never agreed to pay any voluntary excess taxes in MA, despite family wealth in excess of $ 700 million. I (we) own 28 manufacturing plants (Heinz) outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, Mexico and Europe. We can make more profit from the cheaper cost of labor in those Countries, although I Blame George Bush for sending all of the jobs out of Country. Although I claim to be in favor of alternative energy sources, Ted Kennedy and I oppose windmills off Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard as it might spoil our view of the ocean as we cruise on our yachts. RECORDS AND REFERENCES: None. PERSONAL I ride a Serotta Bike. My Gulfstream V Jet I call The Flying Squirrel. I call my $850,000 42-foot Hinckley twin diesel yacht the "Scarmouche". I am fascinated by rap and hip-hop and feel it reflects our real culture. I own several "Large" SUVs including one parked at my Nantucket summer mansion, though I am against large polluting inefficient vehicles and blame George Bush for the energy problems. PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004. I will consider you Mr Kerry...........then cast my vote for President Bush !!!!!!!!!!! |

Nice try,this one is so off the wall you can't even get Republicans to cheer you on. There's way too much garbage in this to bother to respond to all of it.Some it's too outrageous and and some of it's just down-right stupid.I'll respond to some and move on to something worthwhile. Education and Experience:Check his Senate voting record,you're simply all washed up on this one. Military: his records have pretty much been an open book.Why don't you lay them down beside G.Bushes and see which is more complete. You must have confused Kerry with Bush on the grades at Yale.Bush's GPA was 1.98.Not high enough to get Bush into Law School.John Kerry went to Boston College(no further education?)and received a Law Degree. Past work experience.(I ran for Congress and have been there ever since?) No other jobs? John Kerry worked as a Public Prosecutor, and Lt Governor of the State of Massachusetts.I guess his constituents saw his resume of success suitable enough to elect him as a U.S. Senator.Yes he's been in the "Senate" ever since. Go to Urban Legends and read the truth about his wifes wealth and actual amount of "ownership" of Heinz Factories. Keep in mind when you do that she inherited her shares of ownership from her first husband."Republican" Senator John Heinz. Shame***Shame**Shame**** Shame on you for posting it,shame on those that believed it. This is real garbage. |

JOHN FORBES KERRY, "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" CAREER OBJECTIVE President of the United States, Renter of the Lincoln bedroom, Intern Supervisor, Commander and Chief and Defender of the Working Man, I mean Person EDUCATION Educated at Swiss Boarding Schools -- because my parents did not like me that much Attended elite private schools like Fessenden School in West Newton, Massachusetts and St. Paul's in New Hampshire -- just like your kids Graduated Yale University, 1966 (I am much smarter than that Bush guy -- oh, wait, he also went to Yale.) Graduated Boston College Law School in 1976 (I am much smarter than that Bush guy -- oh, wait, he got an MBA from Harvard.) VIETNAM MILITARY SERVICE Served as an officer on a swiftboat in the Mekong Delta in VIETNAM for three long months -- tried my best to come home a hero like JFK after his service on PT-109. I was in VIETNAM -- VIETNAM was a place where I was for a while. Did I mention that VIETNAM veterans love me? I collected three Purple Hearts in my three months (had to get three in order to come home and run for Congress as a hero like JFK) and the last one for that scratch on my finger -- it REALLY did hurt! It was important to have the right connections so I could get home and run for Congress on my hero status like JFK -- he was not in VIETNAM, but I was. Brought my own motion camera to make sure images of me in VIETNAM becoming a hero made it back home to the states. Got a free trip home after three months on my swiftboat where I suffered severe injuries and collected three Purple Hearts (did I mention that), a Bronze and Silver Star for heroism -- ensuring my destiny as a hero and man of the people like JFK. Got home and found out they were not bestowing hero status on war heroes like me, so I threw my medals, or was it my ribbons, over the White House fence. Maybe it was someone else's medals. Co-founder of the VIETNAM Veterans of America and spokesperson for the VIETNAM Veterans Against the War and worked closely with Jane Fonda to make sure everyone knew that all the guys in VIETNAM were war criminals -- I was too, and even testified before the Senate about my own war crimes. "Represented" my cadre of anti-American misfits in a Paris meeting to discuss how we could better provide "aid and comfort" for the North Vietnamese and to discuss the unconditional surrender of the U.S. In doing so, I knowingly, directly violated UCMJ Article 104 part 904, and U.S. Code 18 U.S.C. 953. Did I mention that this meeting, and my other anti-American activities, also put me in violation of the Constitution's Article three, Section three, which defines treason as "giving aid and comfort" to the enemy in time of warfare. Consequently, I stand subject to the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, Section 3, which states, "No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President...having previously taken an oath...to support the Constitution of the United States, [who has] engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." But I don't have to resign -- I am understudy to Teddy Kennedy, now the patriarch of JFK's family. I topped off my coddling of Commies by authoring a book called The New Soldier -- but since military heroes are back in vogue, I now sue anyone who reproduces the cover of that book on any website, especially a website like http://kerry-04.com/. (The cover picture is a mockery of the Iwo Jima flag raising -- you can see it at http://kerry-04.com/ until my lawyers get them to take it down.) NOTE: Please join fellow Patriots and sign the petition demanding John Kerry's resignation. Link to -- http://www.PatriotPetitions.US/Kerry (If you don't have Web access, please send a blank e-mail to: <sign-Kerry@PatriotPetitions.US> Each e-mail sent to this address will be counted as one signature for the petition.) CONGRESSIONAL "SERVICE" Volunteered as a campaign worker for my mentor, Teddy Kennedy in 1962. I just love that big lug! My first campaign for Congress was in 1972 -- I was a war hero like JFK but nobody noticed so I ran on my anti-American platform. I won the primary with a little help from my campaign manager (brother Cameron) who broke into my opponents campaign headquarters. Unfortunately, because of that Watergate thing, I lost the general election to a Republican even after spending more than any other Congressional campaign in the nation. In 1982, with the help of Uncle Teddy, I got elected as lieutenant governor for governor Michael Dukakis -- then got elected to the Senate in 1984 -- it has been smooth sailing ever since. I have dedicated the last 20 years, between wives and vacation homes, promoting big government spending (except in defense and intelligence, which I vote against every chance I get), class warfare, the welfare state and general wealth redistribution, any kind of abortion on demand (without parental consent for minors), and obstructionist tactics in the judicial nominee process. According to Americans for Democratic [sic] Action, a far-left watchdog group, I have a higher lifetime liberal voting record at 93% than Ted Kennedy with 88% I am the ranking Democrat member of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. My current millionaire wife is heiress of the Heinz Ketchup fortune -- a "small" business Ranking member of the Hispanic Task Force, even though I "borked" Miguel Estrada Chaired the Senate Democratic Leadership Steering and Coordination Committee In 1987, teemed up with Teddy to get an override of presidential veto of Boston's Big Dig Boondoggle -- one of the most larded distributions of taxpayer largess in U.S. history. In 1991 the Senate created the Select Senate Committee on POW/MIA Affairs to investigate the possibility that U.S. prisoners of war and soldiers designated missing in action were still alive in Vietnam. Acting as chairman, I helped persuade the group to vote unanimously that no American servicemen still remained in Vietnam. In doing so, I helped begin the process of normalizing U.S.-Vietnamese relations. Wealthiest senator ("man of the people"), with an estimated net worth of nearly $200 million (that's $800 million if you combine it with my current wife's assets) POLITICAL POSTURING AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS: ABORTION Voted to federally fund abortions Voted against parental consent for minors Voted against ban on Partial Birth Abortion (3 times) Voted against ban on sending money to UN population fund -- the money was sent to pay for China's forced abortion and sterilization policy Have been warned by Catholic clergy that I will not be served communion due to my stance on this issue NARAL lifetime rating of 100%; National Right to Life Committee lifetime rating of 0% DEATH PENALTY Oppose federal and/or state death penalty (except for innocent unborn children -- see above) Voted against death penalty for terrorists Voted against death penalty for drug-related murders TAXES & ECONOMICS I like high taxes and want to raise them Voted against all three Bush tax cuts & want to repeal them Voted for 1993 Clinton tax hike (largest in history) Voted against major tax relief packages at least 10 times Support re-raising taxes on the wealthy to redistribute money for healthcare and education -- i.e., Socialism Claim I can stop outsourcing and create 10 million new jobs in four years, despite the fact that there are only about 8 million unemployed people in the U.S. Want to raise the minimum wage, which will result in outsourcing and the loss of jobs Voted at least 5 times against balanced budget amendments Voted at least 5 times to raid the Social Security Trust Fund Believe Washington manages your money better than you could Lifetime rating of 26% from Citizens Against Government Waste MILITARY & NATIONAL SECURITY We don't need a military, per se Favor UN control of remaining U.S. Troops Voted for 7 major reductions in military funding Voted against Gulf War I (1991) Voted for Gulf War II -- but then criticized and voted against military appropriation for troops Voted against MX missile, Trident Submarine, SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative -- Star Wars), and the B-1 and B-2 Stealth Bomber/Fighter Supported slashing $2.6 billion from intelligence funding while serving as a member of Senate Intelligence Committee SECOND AMENDMENT Against Have earned a lifetime rating of 0% from the National Rifle Association FAITH & VALUES Against/Don't have any Voted Against Defense of Marriage Act Favor civil unions for homosexuals until marriage is popular enough to support Voted to extend hate crimes protections to homosexuals Voted against voluntary school prayer Voted against ban on human cloning and support embryonic stem-cell research EDUCATION Voted against voucher pilot program Voted against approving a school-choice pilot program Support racial profiling and preference for admission to universities, known as "affirmative action" JUDGES, COURTS & LAW Against racial profiling and preference when dealing with terrorism Voted against confirmation William Rehnquist as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Voted against confirmation of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court Only support activist judges who will support abortion, persecute Christians and rewrite the Constitution Voted against confirmation John Ashcroft as U.S. Attorney General Voted against punitive damage limits in products liability cases As Michael Dukakis' Lt.

I guess you could say I left any "lies" out of it. Can you say the same of the posting I responded too? Hey Evil, Masters Programs don't generally require as high an academic standing for admission as Doctorates of Law Programs. I know a few Lawyers,I don't know any that got into Law School with a 1.98 GPA. |

Conservative reactions... Wealthy Republican - "He is hard working, self-sufficient, and a true American. It is ok for him to not advocate the will of the people, because he is above them" Wealthy Democrat - "He is a liar, and a cheater. He makes a lot of money yet advocates for taxes? He must be a hypocrite. I do not understand that the world does not revolve around me. We can not let this man lead our nation" |
