One of the fringies is Sen. Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, who was elected governor
and then Senator after losing a leg in Vietnam and gaining Congressional
Medal of Honor and then making himself a millionaire building a business.
He was a Democrat in a state that was then known as the most Republican
state in the nation. Like many others I thought Kerrey was the ideal
candidate. Little did I know he was a fringie.
Kerrey had no chance because as Paul Tsongas, another fringie, noted Clinton
is a "pander bear." He is the all-purpose man who cofounded the DLC to make
the Democrats into Republicans. Clinton would die before speaking up for
the poor like all previous Democratic presidents, who apparently were also
fringies.
I voted for every Democratic presidential nominee since Eisenhower except
Clinton and Carter because I never vote for Republicans or Republican
look-alikes for president. I am a fringie too.
Best, Terry
