John Kerry wants to be the hero in his own drama. He likes King Arthur and the Round Table. He likes the young swashbuckling Churchill, and he loved the early antics of Theodore Roosevelt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
John Kerry can be absolutely ruthless. I would not want to be on his enemies list when he's ready to go after you.
John Kerry's biography was central to his campaign.
John Kerry had a very vivid imagination as a young person. I mean, he actually did go and take his bicycle from Norway to go camp in Sherwood Forest to be around the ghost of Robin Hood.
My position is not that John Kerry is either Jesus Christ or the prophet Mohammad. My position is that John Kerry is the possibility of restarting politics.
The political hero is not like the sports champion or matinee idol or daring inventor; like the war hero, he is born only of tragedy.
I would never say John Kerry would be a great president. I will say that George Bush has divided us; he has filled this country with hatred.
It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle.
John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded.
Growing up, we never got to see a hero who didn't have superpowers who looked like us, that you could kind of look to and say, 'I could be that guy one day. I could be a patriot. I could be a soldier. I could work in the government and be a hero.'
I saw some war heroes... John Kerry is not a war hero. He couldn't tie the shoes of some of the people in Coastal Division 11.
