Look, I Just Don’t Like Him

Partisan Politics

Despite the Boston Globe’s ongoing love affair with John Kerry, I just can’t bring myself to like him.

A portion of those similarly displeased with Kerry take issue with his post-war shenanigans.  His brief career as a hippy is enough to turn that portion off.  Others are suspicious of the circumstances surrounding his decorations, earned under fire (so the stories go), yet thrown away in a fit of highly visible faux disgust a short time later.  Except they weren’t his, as we know, and the real ones are now resting comfortably carefully framed and displayed in his office.  I consider these parts of Kerry history as poor form, but they’re not enough not to vote for him, 30 years on. 

There are many more substantive reasons that I would be reluctant to vote for the man.
