Buddy, buddy, buddy, where to begin ...
It is impossible for Kerry to respond to the Republican accusations of "flip flopping" in a manner that I did ..
Well, you're right about that. He's trying to win the presidency so he has to try to make some sence when he says things. You don't appear to be held to those same constraints. When Mr. Kerry is accused of "flip flopping" it is usually with many many documented instances of changes in statements, often given in two seperate speeches on the same day. You seem to want to limit the issue to the instance of his vote on funding for Iraq and are perfectly happy to dismiss it as nothing more than his way of voicing his displeasure with the administrations policy. If in fact, that were the only case I could probably go along with you but we have documented instances spanning 20 years of the same behavior pattern. Perhaps Mr. Kerry is having such a hard time responding to the Republicans is because they are right and there just isn't a whole lot he can say to diffuse the issue so with time tested logic, he just trys to change the subject.
I am a Centrist. I am not anti I Bush.. I just think he is the wrong man for the job.. And I think his Rovenistic attacks cheapen the American political process....
This is a fascinating statement from several standpoints. Having looked through your history of posts, you have stated many times how you are a centerast. The only thing is, you have never had anything good to say about any Republican nor have you ever had anything bad to say about any Democrat. Now I'm not trying to say you aren't a centerist, I'm just wondering what the heck you think it is you are in the center of ... cause it sure as heck isn't the political spectrum in the United States! I also got curious about just exactly what a "Rovenistic attack" is. Looked in Websters and my Funk and Wagnels and I'm darned if I can find anything that says what the heck a "Rovenistic attack" is but I do note that you refer to them all the time. Could you perhaps enlighten us with the definition of "Rovenistic attack"?
Actually, I am beginning to think that your posts berating the president and his policies are most likely some sort of "Buddyistic attack", or perhaps a "Lambastic attack"

Hey !! buddie here is some figures for you, believe it or not !!...... Kerry used an appraisal pegging the value of his Beacon Hill townhouse at twice the amount listed on City Hall records in order to get the $6.4 million loan he needed to resuscitate his presidential bid," the Herald reported this week.
The Kerry campaign says the loan represents just half of the $12.8 million total value of the property, purchased for the top Democrat by his ketchup heiress wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.
But a quick check by the Herald with Boston's Assessing Department revealed that the value of the swank five-story mansion is just $6.6 million.
If Kerry's loan actually tapped into his wife's share of the property, violation of campaign finance law Under FEC regulations, Mrs. Kerry is prohibited from donating more than $2,000 to her husband's presidential bid.
Complicating matters is Mrs. Kerry's cozy relationship with the bank that granted the mortgage. The Kerrys used the Mellon Bank of New England, a subsidiary of Pittsburgh-based Mellon Bank, which has a long history of doing business with the heiress, who's worth more than a half-billion dollars.
Asked to release their own appraisal putting the Kerry mansion's value at $12.8 million, a Kerry campaign lawyer told the Herald: "I can't release any documentation. It's confidential."

buddyIam: Kerry's home in particular appreciated enormously just because it is the home of a presidential candidate.
Yeah, we had something like that in Alabama a few years ago. Campaign contributions are limited to a certain dollar amount by law for corporations. Someone running for governor sold his house for twice it's value to a company that needed legislation. Nobody ever moved into the house during the term of the governor. Legislation passed...
Yes, buddy he was a Democrat...

Why does the law of supply and demand rule the petroleum industry.
But does not pertain to the sale of a home or property?
buddy, the law of supply and demand DOES pertain to the sale of homes and property. It's the corruption that I detest!

Quote:Yes, Mrs Kerry is running for office. As the First Lady, she will have to make her returns public.
Back to the original post, you say she has to make her returns public. The linked article in the original post says she doesn't. First Lady isn't an elected office.
As for assessed value vs appraised value, there is no comparison, except that appraised values are usually higher than assessed values (thank goodness) unless values are declining severely.

buddie !!,nothing was said about home values in Cal. so your remarks are not valid for the kerry home and it appears that you have LITTLE knowledge of refinance rules in as much as homes have to be appraised for value of equity for a loan if not totally owned by applicant and even then they might have to have an appraisal.. A applicant that has kerry`s income would not even be considered for a loan of that amount.. As far as criminal activity, it will come to an investigation as it has been pointed out that wrong doing has been done of which can be seen by clear thinking people of which you are not part of... The Calif. smog seems to be resting between your ears...Wonder how much Her "presidential candidate home" will be worth after the vote is counted...You better have a smog checkup..

I have borrowed millions over the years and bought, sold or leased a lot of homes. Each was appraised at the tax office for what it sold for and was increased in value each year using some sort of calculation.
Each time I borrowed money, the banker knowing me personally and having full access to my financial records would go before the board and present my request. My income had to be within certain ratio to the debt and my loan had to be based on some value of appraised property. The best I ever did was get 100% on a quarter million dollar loan for property I already owned but was about to sell shortly.

Wow !!!, you must be using Mellon bank as kerry did..People that have to refinance once as you say you have and that you will most likely refinance again in the future are at risk financially and will most likely have a FICO problem, course that is not your only one...Sounds like you use Joe on the corner for your transactions..The SMOG is getting thicker it appears...

Maybe what buddy isn't saying is that he has banked at the same place for so many years, they have all the info on him, so they do it without him having to fill out paperwork. My dad is that way. Banks at a credit union they have access to all his info. He just calls and says I am looking to buy a new truck or whatever, they call back a little later and he is signing papers on his new truck.
