JOB APPLICATION

NAME: John Kerry

RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including one in Washington DC, worth multi- millions. I served in Vietnam (four months).

EXPERIENCE:
Law Enforcement. In my career as a U.S. Senator, I've voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA, and Defense bill. I ordered the city of Boston to remove a fire hydrant in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my neighbors in the event of fire. I served in Vietnam (four months).

MILITARY:
I served in Vietnam (four months!). I used three minor (self inflicted) injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I served in Vietnam (four months). I then returned to the U.S., joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby killers. I served in Vietnam (four months). 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. I served in Vietnam (four months).

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:
After College and Vietnam, I ran for the U.S. Congress and have been there ever since. I have no real world experience except marrying very rich women and running their companies vicariously through them. I served in Vietnam (four months).

ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
As a U.S. 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 their 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. I served in Vietnam (four months).

My wealth so far exceeds that of my counterpart, George Bush, that he will never catch up. I make little or no charitable contributions and have never agreed to pay any voluntary excess taxes in Massachusetts, despite family wealth in excess of $ 700 million. I served in Vietnam (four months).

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 other jobs out of Country. I served in Vietnam (four months).

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. I served in Vietnam (four months).

RECORDS AND REFERENCES:
None. However, I served in Vietnam (four months).

PERSONAL I practice my Catholic faith whenever cameras are present. I ride a Serotta Bike. I love to ski/snowboard. I call my Gulfstream V Jet 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 our energy problems. I served in Vietnam (four months).

PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004.

LOL once agian I have to say.. READ DA SIGGY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[K5MAR]

Oh, that's GOOD, Mo! I "borrowed" it to send to my friends, thanks!

[mlevin]

Don't thank me, I think a friend of my dad wrote that. E-mail it to as much Kerry supporters as possible

[unitcharlie]

with apologies.....

very good!

[AEMTKieran]

Don't forget that Kerry also wants to go back to the days when terrorists were a mere nuisance. You know, when they were blowing up discos, US Navy ships, things like that. I mean, the guy just wasn't affected by 9/11, so why should we be?

[grant]

Is it true that it is not compulsory for US citizens to vote?.

In good old Oz it is 100% compulsory

For local council elections if you don't vote you get fined
For state elections if you don't vote you get fined
and for federal elections, if you don't vote you get fined

They don't care if you vote informal or for the donkey party, so long as you vote.

And if you engage in a favourite form of voting ... "Vote early and vote often" .. (possible because of multiple voting locations within an electorate ... they catch up with you later by checking off the electoral roll) you get the opportunity to appear before the local magistrate, then you get fined

I am always amazed how low the % voting is for the presidential elections (less than 50%).

[milf]

Yep one of the freedoms we enjoy: You don't have to vote.....

But you do have that right if you register in time, and if your a male register with Selective Service at age 18. No we don't have a Draft anymore, but us males still have to register for it in case we do ever have it again.... strange, but a lot of things are strange!

dang - i WAS going to vote Kerry, until i read Mo's post...

now i can't vote Bush with a clear conscience...

only one choice: VOTE NONE OF THE ABOVE!

(that was a joke and an old reference to the movie Brewster's Millions)

[kikito]

mr. hankey, et al:

Just vote for the "lesser of two evils" and the one you think stands for the things that you really care about but most importantly, just vote.

And remember that a lot of the stuff going on now (as usual) is the product of what the past administration DID and DID NOT do.

Not to mention the biggest "problem" the past administration had to deal with had to do with "interns under the desk"....

Sounds Good To Me!

He's Got My Vote!

[n4voxgill]

As a registered democrat I was considering voting for Kerry. But after reading Lindsey's comments, especially about President Bush stand on capital punishment, I must now vote for Bush. See, I am alive today because of the death penalty.

Thanks for the information! You helped me make up my mind on who gets my vote, George W. Bush!

Can you give me an equal number of reasons to vote FOR Kerry?

Mike

[milf]

Hmmm ONLY president in US History to invade a sov nation..

WWII

The United States after nuking Japan into submission then occupied that nation invented a whole new constitution, disolved its military, and controled its government.

Pre Civil War

The united States invaded as a matter of policy the lands of the tribes and nations of the Native Americans, drove them into exile on reservations and almost succeeded in thier complete distruction!

With the Aid of Russia succeeded in deviding Germany into two seperate nations for decades.

Need I go on?


Yes some of the above was for very good reasons!

The point of this whole post is to illustrate the massive spin being put on all this.

As has been proven in the past: It does not matter one bit what you or I as average citizens think. The popular vote (as proven by historical precedent) does NOT matter one dang bit!

In a local, or State Level election sure you can make changes,.. In a constitutional amendment sure you can make changes.

In the elections of US Senate, and House of Represenatives, sure you can make changes,....

In a Presidential election.... History speaks for itself..

If you can convince your Senators and Members of the House of the United States to make changes, which WILL NOT BE suggested or endorsed by ANY President in the electoral process so that the vote of the people really counts, then goody. But until then... well enjoy the show!

How about this?

Who's fault is it that we took our eyes off the ball (above), and went after a nation that had no WMD, no involvement with 9/11, and are harboring more terrorists today than they did when we invaded.

Maybe another president would get us back on track (to finding Osama), and not making up excuses to funnel billions of $$ to the VP's former employer.
