#1 A ringing endorsement from these guys is the kiss of political death, heh heh. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

#2 What's the problem here?

He cooperated with the Communists in the early 1970's, and they're just returning the favor.

#4 Which of Kerry's war criticism's are they endorsing? Today's or yesterday's or last month's? Are they ignoring his support of the war, assuming it was merely political rhetoric? This is just too nuanced for me - my brain hurts.

To me this is actually the scariest idea they stated:

... and a government that reflects their moral values in reality.

God help us all if that reality ever comes about.

#5 Actually, if you look back at the past few elections (starting 1992 or 1996), the CPUSA has backed the Democrat for President. When the USSR went belly-up and the funds stopped flowing in, they stopped running their own candidates.

Why don't they back the Green or one of the other Socialist/Communist parties? I suppose the bitter factional hatred between Leninists, Trotskyists, Stalinists, Maoists, Castroists, et al, is part of it.

#6 This is about as significan as the KKK's endorsement of Reagan in the '80's.
