Here's more evidence that the liberal establishment is sorry to have supported Kerry thus far (The Village Voice is liberal) and desperate to find another candidate: http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0417/mondo1.php

If he gets elected, I don't want to hear any liberals complaining about rich, greedy Republicans. Kerry is the richest and greediest of all the nation's politicians, and he's no Republican. How does he expect regular folks to relate to him? For most regular folks, $15 is too much for a haircut (it is for me, at least). Kerry flies his hairdresser from DC to PA on his wife's jet (more on this to come), then pays her $1000 for a trim. I am reminded of Slick Willy stalling air traffic at LAX for hours while getting a similarly priced haircut. These people live in a different world, and regular folks know it.
And now, here's a little investigative journalism from yours truly. As you may know, Kerry is a crusader against SUVs due to their high fuel consumption, and he has been, over the years, the champion for raising American fleet average fuel efficiency standards from 27 to 36 MPG by 2015 (making him the arch enemy of the American auto industry, incidentally). However, like Arianna Huffington, who scolds SUV drivers for funding terrorism in her notorious TV advertisements (more: http://capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2402), Kerry flies around in a private plane (his wife's Gulfstream V, to be precise). I did some research on the Gulfstream V (http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=182681). This ultra-modern, highly fuel-efficient, $32 million dollar jet aircraft carries a maximum fuel load of 41,300 pounds (6,164 gallons). With a full tank, the Gulfstream V will fly up to 7,485 miles without refueling. That means it gets a grand total of 1.2 miles per gallon. At its normal cruise speed of 904 MPH, the Gulfstream V burns 753 gallons per hour and 12.5 gallons per minute.
In contrast, a turbodiesel Hummer, probably the most hated SUV of them all, gets about 15 miles per gallon on average. The fuel tanks (Hummers have primary and auxiliary fuel tanks) together have a maximum fuel capacity of 42 gallons. That means a Hummer can go roughly 630 miles on one tank of fuel. The average driver puts 15,000 miles per year on his vehicle. Thus, the total annual fuel usage for an average Hummer driver (provided that the average Hummer driver only drives 15,000 miles per year, which I am assuming) is approximately 1000 gallons. The distance from LA to NYC is about 2700 miles. Kerry's Gulfstream V would burn about 2220 gallons of fuel flying that distance (as opposed to 180 gallons for a Hummer). Therefore, Kerry has undoubtedly used more fossil fuel in one flight than an environment destroying, natural resource raping Hummer driver uses in more than two years. In fact, if you recall that the Gulfstream V burns 753 gallons per hour at cruising speed, Kerry uses 75% of the average Hummer driver's annual fuel usage in one hour. His hypocrisy is absolutely bewildering, and there's more.
Much to his chagrin, reporters recently photographed a Suburban sitting in John Kerry's driveway (more: http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlates...009850,00.html). Taking a page from Bill I-didn't-inhale Clinton's Guide to Deflection, Kerry stated that the SUV wasn't his, claiming that it instead belongs to his family (of which he is a part, no?). What a bizarre and impotent failure to accept responsibility. Does he really want us to think that he, as a presidential candidate, is not the decision-maker in his own household? If he can't even overrule his wife's decision to purchase a vehicle that he passionately opposes (which, of course, he didn't even try to do; in his diseased mind, what's good for the goose is not good for the gander), how can he run the country and fight terrorism with any authority? Now, not only do we have further proof that Kerry is a waffling hypocrite, but my suspicion that Teresa Heinz Kerry (John Kerry's meal ticket) is really running the show seem to be well-founded; she obviously wears the pants in that relationship, and we know for certain that she holds the purse strings. Could she be Hillary II? God help us if we are made to find out.
