John Kerry Web Site Parody

You’ve got to see this parody of John Kerry’s campaign web site. Classic. I linked to the real one yesterday when I blogged about his trip to Chicago.

From the site:

Education

Few policy areas reveal Kerry’s ideological commitment to big government better than his record on education. In recent years, Kerry has twice voted against granting low-income parents school choice. While common sense would argue that school choice isn’t for the federal government to grant or withhold, Kerry has gone even farther, voting against parental choice in cases of children trapped in “violence-prone” schools….

Moreover, if elected John Kerry is prepared to make public education more of an entitlement — and more of a burden to the American taxpayer and economy — than ever before through his “National Education Trust Fund.” It’s like Al Gore’s Social Security “Lockbox,” except for education. Maybe Candidate Kerry should pause and ask the question: Is lack of money really the problem with America’s schools? The answer might surprise him.

Abortion

If you’re concerned about John Kerry’s nonchalance for your child’s welfare in education, Sen. Kerry’s lack of commitment to children before birth comes as no comfort. According to the National Right to Life Committee, since 1985 Kerry has voted pro-abortion a mind-numbing 100% of the time. This includes at least three votes against a ban on partial-birth abortion. Small wonder Sen. Kerry is now in questionable standing with the Roman Catholic Church, which now refuses to serve him — and other delinquent Catholic politicians — communion.

In addition to his votes against banning even medically unnecessary abortion procedures, Kerry has supported legislation for federally funded abortions and to provide pro-abortion counseling in federally-funded health clinics. But counsel from parents doesn’t count for Kerry; he voted against requiring the notification of the parents of minors seeking an abortion.

Affirmative Action

Affirmative action, also known as codified reverse-discrimination, is one of John Kerry’s lesser known but more revealing flip-flops. In 1992, as Bill Clinton was making his bid for the White House, John Kerry gave the first in a promised series of speeches at Yale University dealing with issues of race, crime and urban America. The speech warned against a “culture of dependency…. We must ask whether [social disintegration] is the result of a massive shift in the psychology of our nation that some argue grew out of the excesses of the 1960s, a shift from self-reliance to indulgence and dependence, from caring to self-indulgence, from public accountability to public abdication and chaos,” Kerry, who was himself a major player in the social upheaval of that era, said.

Good stuff. (Hat tip: Damascus Road)
