"John Kerry Tries to Out-Bush Bush"

Just a few months ago, the candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination were battling for votes in the primaries--and using fiery anti-Bush rhetoric to try to win support. That was then.

Now, John Kerry, the lamest of the bunch, has a lock on the nomination--and he’s shed the "fighting for working people" message that he tried on for size in Iowa and New Hampshire for a more comfortable fit. Acting like a carbon copy of George Bush.

"I am not a redistribution Democrat," Kerry assured high rollers at a $25,000-a-plate breakfast fundraiser at the posh "21" Club in Manhattan last week. "Fear not. I am not somebody who wants to go back and make the mistakes of the Democratic Party of 20, 25 years ago." www.dissidentvoice.org/April2004/Schulte0422.htm
