 Monsieur Lalonde's Candidate (Kerry's Socialist French First Cousin)
Just as the 2004 remake of the "Manchurian Candidate" portrays a man controlled by an implanted chip, the 2004 nominee for president seems to be greatly influenced by his first cousin from France, Brice Lalonde.
Just as his socialist cousin was a leader in anti-Vietnam protests that were marked by violence, John Kerry mirrored the activities in America and was associated with groups that even contemplated the assassination of political figures.
So it is no surprise that just as his French cousin ran for President of France as the Socialist/Green Party candidate, John Kerry mirrors him by running for President of the United States as the Socialist Democrat candidate.
