Kerry is proving that he is not a leader
No matter how you may feel about the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth ads, Kerry's reaction to them proves that is not capable of leading this country.
1. He does not respond to the accusations in the ads - he simply attacks the Veterans as liars.
2. He could clear all this up by signing the form 180 to release all of his military records.
3. His accusations of the Bush Administration being behind the Swift Boat Veterans sound oh too Nixon-like. His 'camp', as the media describes his followers, are using the 6 Degrees of Separation from Kevin Bacon ploy to prove that there is a connection to Bush. Balderdash. These are some of the evil things that President Nixon's CREEP did way back when:
Replace the words Democratic candidates with Swift Boat Veterans and you will understand exactly what I am saying.
4. He is protesting too much - therefore, most of us think he is, indeed, hiding the truth.
5. He can't handle pressure. He is as over the edge as Dean, Gore and the other miserable candidates that the Democrats came up with this year.
6. I have serious concerns about his ability to uphold the Constitution. This guy doesn't like dissent (Swift Boat Veterans for Freedom), so he threatens lawsuits, etc. His extremely thin skin makes him vulnerable to threats from other countries. How much of our freedom will this man give away just so no one talks mean about him? If he has power, what will he do when someone writes a book about him that he doesn't like? Will he sue? Will he call the publisher up and say "pull that book"?
7. His voting record - when he actually does make it into Congress to vote, he flip flops from one week to the next - I voted for this bill before I voted against it - wtf is that supposed to mean? Does this guy have no ideas of his own?
8. His *Secret Plan* to get out of Iraq - how Nixonian can one be, folks?
9. He hints that he has spoken to foreign leaders who have made him promises - now this scares me - it seems to be dangerous for a senator to go making agreements with foreign countries on his own - with promises of what in return if he becomes president??? I guess, if he wins, we will find out.
10. I don't think Kerry has a balanced personality. Narcissistic Personality Disorder comes to mind. Look it up - no, I have looked it up for you, I defy you to say this does not fit this man who would be President - my thoughts are in italics:
Diagnostic Criteria
A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:1. Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
Kerry thinks he was an exemplary Naval Officer. Kerry also thinks that experience as Lietenant, Junior Grade qualifies him as Commander in Chief.
2. Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
Kerry has planned to be POTUS since his teenage years. Kerry brought a movie camera with him to Vietnam so he could have others film his 'brave actions' (they were re-enacted) for future reference.
3. Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
requires excessive admiration.Kerry's comments to people in airports as he pushes past them in lines - Do you know who I am?
4. Has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations.
His reaction to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth - he can't handle anyone disagreeing with *his* facts. Oh, I almost forget - he doesn't fall down when skiing or snowboarding - somebody else musta pushed him!
5. Is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends.

6. Lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others.
Doesn't understand why we don't like to be taxed - of course he is so rich, our little salaries are meaningless to him.
7. Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudesThis is such a d'uh statement in describing John Kerry that I have nothing to add.
And someone with this very nasty personality disorder only needs to meet five of the criteria. Ha!
