In 2008!! Yeah!

Ok here's the deal. Look at this page:

http://www.opensecrets.org/indivs/search.asp?NumOfThou=0&txtName=Kerry&txtState=%28all+states%29&txtZip=&txtEmploy=&txtCand=&txt2004=Y&Order=N

ALL those guys NAMED John Kerry were John Kerry supporters!

So whomever we run in 2008, we just have to make sure we all have the same name as that person. I mean look at that shit! John Kerry in Denver was for John Kerry. John Kerry in El Paso, Texas was for John Kerry. John Kerry of Bellaire, TX, Los Angeles, they were ALL Kerry supporters!

You know what was funny? I was reading down that list and I got to the one that reads "Kerry John Honorable, Washington DC" and I thought for a second "Hey who's this one?"

Duh.

1. AND it doesn't work the other way around!
Almost ALL the people with the last name of Kerry were Dems.

But look at this chick, Antoinette Bush in Washington, DC. DAMN!

3. Another little bit of info
Apparently Marvin gave to booshies campaign but Neil didn't. Neil's in there, but he gave $500 to some Tim Bridgewater and that's it.

Jenna and Barbara didn't give to Daddy's campaign. Nor did Laura.

Vanessa Kerry did contribute to her father's campaign.

I'm bored, can you tell?

8. people are more likely to move someplace named the same as
them... example: a lot more georgias move to georgia. this was in the new york times, by the way. i'm not making it up! i wish i could remember the other places, but watch out-- all those yuppie kids living in new york named dakota-- boy, are their parents going to be disappointed!
we're just natural born sheeple is all!
