Kerry threatens NFL to make sure New England Patriots game is available for all to see

Those Rascally Democrats! John Kerry, the New England Patriots, and the National Football League
Congress is on break, again, until January 18th. But that's okay. With all that hard work they do they need a break, right?
But there is one Democrat that has recently made the news for all of his hard work. You may recognize his name: John Kerry. Why is Mr. Kerry in the news? Seems that Senator John Kerry is an avid football fan, specifically a fan of the New England Patriots (hmmmm, Senator from Massachusetts, okay, that makes sense). Well, the Patriots are one game away from an undefeated season, and another march through the record books. And John Kerry is going to make sure that we all have the chance to see the game. Kerry asked football commissioner Roger Goodell to move the game to NBC from the NFL Network (so that we can all watch the game), and threatened Senate hearings if he does not do as asked.
Talk about a misuse of political power.
"I don't see why this is a problem though. I think everyone should have a right to see the game. Congress isn't in session, so what better do these guys have to do?" Are you serious? How about make sure every child has healthcare, a full belly and roof over their heads to start. Perhaps they could walk the walk and actually cut off funding for the war. Cause right now they talk a good game, but when the votes are counted they can't seem to do what's right. You don't think both sides of the isle are profiting from the war do you? Of course not, the Democrats walk around with halos over their heads while the Repulicans stick them with pitchforks, right?
It's a volunteer army. This is not Vietnam, no one is being drafted. Do you know why you and I aren't over there? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THE MILITARY. I have a cousin who signed up while in dental school. Our tax dollars payed for her education and now she has to pay the piper and fulfill her obligation to the military. Now, she wants out. I have no sympathy for her. They don't have signing bonuses and Montgomery G.I. bills for nothing.
Wake the fack up Corey, almost all of them are crooked. Red, Blue, Liberal, Conservative, Democrat or Republican, it doesn't matter. They all have blood on their hands. Vote 'em all out.
