Fezmid Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 This is football (and humor) related! Apparantly John Kerry was campaigning in WI this morning, and he put on a Packers jersey and said (with little emotion), "Go Packers." Now some Packers fans are upset at that display. One fan called a radio station and said, "A real Packers fan has a beer in one hand, a brat in the other, and cheers passionately for the Packers!" Lots of people seemed mad that he was trying to garner votes through the sports team. I found this amsuing at first, but then thought, "What if Kerry was a Patriots fan since he's from Boston? What would I think if he put on a Bills jersey for the sole purpose of trying to get votes?" Still funny, but kinda lame on his part IMHO. Anyway, just trying to put up a good football/politics post on election day CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeG Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 if anyone bases their vote on which team the candidates like or say they like or wear jersey's or any sports related issue... that is SAD and that person shouldn't be voting anyway.

Grant Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Even more depressing are the voters that WILL base their judgment on such a thing as to what team the candidate likes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Even more depressing are the voters that WILL base their judgment on such a thing as to what team the candidate likes. 96667[/snapback] Is it any different than people saying, "Bush talks with a southern drawl so he sounds stupid and I'm not voting for him?" I didn't want this thread to become political though; I just thought that it was kinda funny (but annoying that Kerry would attempt it).

While I agree with you, I think this goes to speak great volumes about kerry. He will say ANYTHING to win. He will be a packer fan today in WI, a redsox fan tomorrow, he will go hunting for ducks, he will hunt deer on his hands and knees. He is a gun owner, he tries to be everything to everyone instead of who he is. Just be John Kerry and maybe people will vote for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERY candidate panders to as many different groups as possible. none are any different. every vote is a critical vote. it's not "sad" -- it's part of the process. besides, has anyone considered that kerry was doing this as a joke since it was the packers who beat the redskins (a historical "omen" that the challenger will win the election)?
