Does He Ever Support His Home Team?
By Matt Margolis | May 28, 2004
I knew that John Kerry would say anything to get elected, but for crying out loud, he’s really pushing the envelope now.
John Kerry was in Green Bay yesterday campaigning, during which he committed treason against his home football team the New England Patriots:
“’No matter what it means to the New England Patriots … you’re looking at the biggest Cheesehead in America,’ Kerry told the crowd, which responded by banging green and gold noise makers.”
Yes, it must be a coincidence that in Green Bay he claimed to be a big Green Bay Packers fan.
Perhaps John Kerry is turning his back on the New England Patriots because Quarterback Tom Brady was a guest at Bush’s State of the Union this year…
Nevertheless, this seems like Classic Kerry. He hasn’t done much in his Senate career to support his home country, he shows more support for U.N. backed efforts than U.S. backed efforts. Looks like a pattern to me.

to be fair let me say that where I live, there’s lots of GBP fans for some reason. I don’t understand it, but it’s like they like them b/c everyone else does. Like if someone asks who’s the best hockey player and you immediately say Wayne Gretzky. Or what’s the best Eagles song? Hotel California.

Nice way to take a quote out of context. Your readers should know that his pulling for teh Packers was for one game against the Redskins, since a Redskin’s loss has predicted a loss for the incubment party in the last 18 presidential elections.

Don’t worry, next week he’ll be in Arizona and he’ll be rooting for the Cardinals. I think it is pretty clear by now that Kerry says whatever will pander to what the population believes.. he has no moral backbone of his own.

As the bad news keeps rolling in for Bush, Margolis addresses the real issues of the campaign… Keep up the great analysis, Matty!

Cole, i’m sorry if i have a real job and can’t spend more time blogging about what you want to read about. there’s quite a number of other entries this week on “real issues” like the economy improving you seem to have deliberately ignored — i wonder why.

Bush, in a fair election, has no chance. That’s why the terror attack will be coming soon to a neighbourhood near you. Priming the nation for martial law.

Bush is going to wipe the floors clean with Kerry. Kerry can’t a prayer. He’s still trying to win Vietnam while the rest of the country wants to win the war on terror. Kerry would be a disaster, you know it.
the fact we have the info we do today about a possible terrorist attack shows we’re much better off now then were were on 9/10/01. You’ll never admit that. you’d vote for saddam hussein before you’d vote for bush because you’re just a liberal, terrorist-ass-kisser.

Interesting, I haven’t been to enough political campaigns to know if politicians often claim to like the home team. It doesn’t seem very important though.

Hey Cole, shut up. Get your own blog to “talk about the real issues.”
This is a “real issue”. Kerry is a two-faced, say anything to be elected, disgrace.

John Kerry Cheesehead?
As if you needed more proof that John Kerry will say anything to get elected, there’s this quote from a campaign rally in Green Bay, “‘No matter what it means to the New England Patriots … you’re looking at the…

This is a serious question - is this a serious statement or satire?
Also, I don’t think a terror attack would be in Bush’s favor. The Spain train bombing before the election influenced the results in favor of a person who supported pulling their troops out of Iraq. While in reality both Bush and Kerry are going to keep the troops in Iraq, I think Kerry has made the impression to the lesser informed that he will.
Let’s get our troops out of everything in the world, then no one will hate us. Then we can go back to being isolationist, which certainly solved our problems in WWI and WWII (this sentence comes with satire, free of charge).

Well liberals don’t support isolationism, many less educated ones want the US to liberate Tibet or invade central Africa. I think the US can make mistakes and that not every dictator it has supported helped to fight communism or protect our freedoms. The US has never had a moralistic foreign policy, certain interests or a real threat has always brought us to war, and it makes me doubt moral reasons for the Iraq war were seriously considered.

Matt, you’ll say *anything* to try to smear Kerry, won’t you? How intellectually dishonest must you be to rip this quote from the context which explains it? This is the kind of foul nonsense that gives bloggers a bad name.

the point is, Kerry will say ANYTHING to curry favor with a particular audience.

Maybe he actually likes the Green Bay Packers? I bet if he went to a bunch of tomato farmers he’d thank them for helping his wife’s company make money. A politician can try to connect with audience without lying by using superficial likenesses. It may not be overly constructive or worthwhile but its not wrong or disparaging to the candiate’s character.
