He may contradict himself, but at least he knows how to speak, as opposed to our dear president Bush. Bush likes to make up sentences and words that make no sense. Or claim that "I have coined new words, like misunderstanding and Hispanically" That sounds intelligent, right?

I'm guessing this is a spoof of the other thread concerning GWB.

Well, bad spoof.

John Kerry is a Senator. His actions generally only affect those in his constituency and any major, country-wide decisions on his part require the entirety of Congress.

George Bush, however, is President. If he makes a decision, it does affect the entire country. This is why the President is not allowed to write or pass laws. He can only issue Executive Orders.

Don't worry, though, Tom Delay is working on it.

Incidently, did you know that I am a decendent of George Washington's eldest brother, John Augustine Washington and since George had no children, if he would have decided to be King of America, I would be in line for the throne if the Washington Clan had maintained power? There are only 6000 living decendents of George's siblings in the United States and, of those, only about 250 have retained the Washington surname.

The more you know. *cue music*

Well, he does want to be the President. That says something derogatory about his state of mind. There is also a quote by Einstein that says something appropriate. Something about attempting the same thing over and over with the same results is insanity. He's probably not insane, though, just insincere and conceited.

On another note, where are those military records he promised to release a couple months back?

Alright, John Kerry probably isnt the best guy to run this country (and he doesn't). He doesn't have a clear message and stands on the fence rather than on one side or the other.
But wait, isn't that a good thing? Instead of having a President who knows exactly what he wants but has no idea how to do it and is leading America down the road of self destruction, we could have chosen someone who is more willing to listen to what everyone has to say and decides upon the best solution not only by their judgement, but the judgement of many.
John Kerry is not the best man to run this country, but he was a better choice than Bush.

As opposed to serving DURING Vietnam.

In the sense of not being in Alabama while the fighting was going on in Vietnam.

That's like saying the only baseball player in history greater than Yogi Berra is Pedro Guivera.

Spare me.

I just love the neocons relentless attempt at revisionist history. You really have admire them for this. Just a brief historical rolecall:

1. President Abraham Lincoln helped reunite this country, and led the union through a tumultous civil war.

2. President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped lift the country from the clutches of a severe economic depression and through a World War---and produced the strongest economic and militarized country on the face of the planet at the close of WWII.

3. President John F. Kennedy led an assault on social and political injustice in the United States by supporting civil rights and voting rights legislation; actions which alienated him politically from large voting blocks in the southern states. His Vice-President (LBJ) finished this work following his assassination. President Kennedy also provided this country with hope, and a vision our ourselves and our place in the world so optimistic and pervasive that it endures to this day.

But President Reagan is the "best ever," with President Bush II running a close second?

Sheesh, it happens all the time......."I really liked movie X." "Oh really, I didn't like it, maybe I should see it again to see what I'm missing." Not unusual at all. So please let's not pollute political debate with phrases that are simply designed to shut it down.

Anyway, of course Kerry is a hypocrite. He's a politician. If he had been elected, would the average American be any better off than under King George? No. All this debating about the virtues of one politician over another is exactly the kind of pointless waste of time that keeps the current corrupt system in place.

If people truly voted for the lesser of evils, we'd have a third party candidate in the White House. Dean had charisma and hada clearer stance on issues, but the media screwed during the Iowa caucus with that stupid scream.

Eeehmm.. and what exactly is wrong with this statement an sich ? It just means mr Kerry is capable of changing his mind, for instance when new information about the legitimacy of the actions requiring the money comes to light.
Could in other words be a contradicting statement, or one of an intelligent man. All depends on context.

Howard Dean just had no self-control. Period. You look at the guy screaming and going nuts, and you ask yourself, "Is this the guy I want to hand the nuclear codes to?"

However, as far as qualifications go, Dean's resume blew all the other candidates away. He would have been a great nominee and would have given G. W. a serious challenge if he would had just learned to control himself when speaking in public. :)

But to let up on how awful recent republicans have been is to allow them to control the debate next time.

It must be kept fresh that every republican president since Nixon has been awful. Reagan and Bush senior were devoted friends to central and south american facism. Devoted enemies of peace in the middle east. Directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of brutal politically inspired murders, rapes, tortures... any variety of atrocity you can think up.

It must be made a part of the American zeitgeist that republican and conservative=evil. Then we'll see some progress in this country. Not as much as we'd see if we had the Austrialian ballot, or any other meaningful election reform, but some progress.

Maybe if we were having a discussion face to face. But posting witty remarks and making outrageous one-line claims about opposing political parties won't do it.

"liberalism is a mental disorder" and "George Bush is insane" will never change anyone's mind. That's all I'm saying.

There were other clips from that event that showed it that way, but he was too dangerous a candidate for Bush to run against, so the press decided to sabotage Dean so that Bush would only have to run against the anemic John Kerry.

That might be true for the major networks but I don't see how that would play for the news that is run on PBS and other public television venues. I would think that the college run news programs in general would have stayed away from it since their was and still is a huge anti-Bush theme at most schools.

Are you serious? C'mon, own up-you don't really believe that, do you? Come on....you can say it-you where grasping at straws, it happens...

Kerry voted for this 87 billion must-pass bill the first time the bill came up-the one that republicans voted down because it had the audacity to account for where the money was supposed to come from. What a fiscally responsable bastard...

But then he was for it.

He said he was for free trade.

But then he put on steel tariffs.

He said the states should decide about gay marriage.

Then he was for changing the Constitution.

He said he would put mandatory caps on Carbon Dioxide.

Then he said he wouldn’t.

He said he’d leave no child behind.

But refused to fund it, leaving millions of children of behind.

He said he against an independent 9/11 commission.

But then reluctantly agreed to one.

He said we were going to war in Iraq to disarm Saddam Hussein.

But when it turned out there weren’t any WMD’s, he said the war was to fight al Qaeda.

But then he admitted there was no evidence of ties between Saddam and al Qaeda

So then he said the war was to bring Western style democracy to the entire Middle East.

He said he wouldn’t invade Iraq without a vote in the UN.

But then he invaded without a vote.
But now he wants to UN to save his butt.

He said he was ushering in an era of personal responsibility.

Bush IS the best person to run this country and the only president in American history that is greater than George W. is Ronald Reagan

What do you find so great in Bush or Reagan other than there respective charisma?

That's like saying the only baseball player in history greater than Yogi Berra is Pedro Guivera.

Spare me.

I just love the neocons relentless attempt at revisionist history. You really have admire them for this. Just a brief historical rolecall:

1. President Abraham Lincoln helped reunite this country, and led the union through a tumultous civil war.

2. President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped lift the country from the clutches of a severe economic depression and through a World War---and produced the strongest economic and militarized country on the face of the planet at the close of WWII.

3. President John F. Kennedy led an assault on social and political injustice in the United States by supporting civil rights and voting rights legislation; actions which alienated him politically from large voting blocks in the southern states. His Vice-President (LBJ) finished this work following his assassination. President Kennedy also provided this country with hope, and a vision our ourselves and our place in the world so optimistic and pervasive that it endures to this day.

But President Reagan is the "best ever," with President Bush II running a close second?

Dont leave out Truman or LBJ(though you gave him a mention, he was the primary force for civil rights, etc)...

You know, I was just thinking about this and in the Freudian sense, on a general issue by issue basis, it may not be too far from the truth all partisan stances aside. :eek:

Please, please, please. For the love of god do not ever use freudian theory to suggest something is a mental disorder. Since believing in Freudian theory actually is a mental disorder (ever heard of Penis envy, some seriously fucked up shit). Use cognitive, behavioural or even Biological theories to justify it, but dont use Freud.

( I know this is off topic but i felt i needed to make sure that people realised that Freud is bullshit before they started actually believing it)

Aaaaaannnnnnnnnd... how many months has it been since the election now?
It's been half a bleeding year now. Kerry is irrelevant at this point except to his constituency in MA.

Some people just seem to get a charge out of perpetuating irrelevant debates months after the fact since hindsight obviously makes it much easier to argue their point as if the event were still going on.

Revisionist history is something at which both Bush and Kerry were/are prodigious. The whole Texan act, for example. He's from New England. He's a bloody YANKEE for heaven's sake. His entire identity is revisionist history.

It was taken out of context. He had a unidirectional mic that only picked up what he said, but the people in the room were screaming for him like he was a Beatles reunion, so he had to shout over them to show that he shared their enthusiasm. There were other clips from that event that showed it that way, but he was too dangerous a candidate for Bush to run against, so the press decided to sabotage Dean so that Bush would only have to run against the anemic John Kerry.


Actually most conservatives wanted Dean to run, he was the weakest out of all the Democrati challengers. He would of got the Republicans out in larger droves than Kerry did. The only person that will top that will be Hillary if she gets the nod.

Well, he contradicts himself all the time in debate... (shamelessly spawned from another thread)


Im a major republican here, but i do know that Bush isnt "the sharpest tool in the shed" so to speak. Kerry, however good of a speaker he is, thanks god, was not elected over bush. Honestly, who cares on how well the president can annunciate his words, if you choose a president based on how well he says nuclear, i dont think i want you voting. You have to base your decision on policies. Honestly, i wouldnt care if bush dropped dead right now, as long as a republican with similar views as he took the office. There is a time where republicans are needed in office, and a time where liberals are needed in office. In the instance of foriegn affairs crises, and the necessity for american to stand strong and not bend down to the criticizing liberal nations of Europe, Republicans are needed in office. If there was a loing period where no one was messing with us, then a liberal would be the best for president, b/c we could increase technology and all that other nice stuff (ie, during clinton/gore admin).

so thankfully we have Bush twice, and im hoping for another 1 or 2 admins, atleast, of republicans, who can actually deal with the problems, rather than the liberals who will 'talk about the problems and do very little about them'. after the 'problems' are 'fixed', and we're all safe and cozy and nice, then a liberal president is free to go into office in my book.l

Sorry to say but the Democrats have more money on their side now a days. Or maybe you have forgotten about these. The % to party show where the entire donation went, Here is the link to the information
Political donors to the Parties (http://www.opensecrets.org/bigpicture/topindivs.asp?cycle=2002)

Saban, Haim & Cheryl 9.3 mil 100% to Democrat
Eychaner, Fred a bit under 7.5 mil 100% to Democrat
Bing, Stephen L. 6.7 mil 100% to democrat
Kirsch, Steve T. & Michele 3.3 mil 100% to Democrat
Schwartz, Bernard L. & Irene 2.3 mil 99% to Democrat
Corzine, Jon S. & Joanne D. 2.1 mil 98% to Democrat
Simon, Melvin & Bren 2.0 mil 100% Democrat
Angelos, Peter G. & Georgia K. 1.8 mil 99% Democrat
O'Quinn, John M. 1.8 mil 100% democrat
Arnall, Roland E. & Dawn 1.5 mil 35% Democrat 65% Republican


Out of the top 100 Donors this last election cycle 65 of them went for Democrat and 35 went for Republican. So it seems your logic about the Republicans having the money is a bit off I would say. Especially since the highest republican donor was 1.5 mil, while the democrats have the top 9 donors. Hell in the top 20 there are 4 Republicans the rest Democrats. So take this reasoning else where you have failed for the myth given by your Liberal masters that they are poor and the Republicans hold all the money.

But you forget the only reason Reagan one was because of that flashy packaging. Heck the second time around he was so flashy and good at the lies he took all but 1 state. Which btw way was Washington D.C. not really state but it gets counted. Minnesota split 50/50 though so I guess that would count.

It shows me he doesn't have a core belief. I have held the same beliefs for my entire life. From when I was a little kid, I think abortion is wrong save for a few extreme cases, Rape, Incest, life of mother or child has something wrong with them that the parents can not handle. Even in the last one there is Adoption. I have held that belief for as long as I can remember. That is for instance, if you have a core belief it stays with you. It doesn't change because of something that comes along that might get you a few more votes.

Or the orange skin he had in the last month, I think that turned off some voters. Then there was his plan that he couldn't tell us.

I agree Dean and Hillary are way out there, of course that makes them easy to beat in upcoming elections. Hillary is trying to re-invent herself, but that will only last as long as the month of Aug 2008. Then her record, like Kerry's, will bury her even more with the voters in the middle of the Country.

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink." - George Orwell

So because he speaks that way it makes it right? If you want to reach the voters you shouldn't ramble on for 40 min and not make a point. You should not tell them you have a plan then refuse to discuss it. But if they want to hear the plan then they have to elect them. You should not in one speech say you support/oppose something. Then go to another State and reverse your stance, just because you are speaking to a different group. In today's information society that is political suicide.

I still hold to my beliefs that have sustained me these years and they guide me through whatever I encounter. I have been dirt poor, filthy rich and been middle class. I prefer to be middle class fewer headaches that way. When I run for political office in my county I will still hold to my beliefs and make the voters pick me because of those beliefs. Not because I think they want to hear something else. Unlike Democrats and Republicans today, I feel the American public is educated enough to form an opinion on information given. I will not have to hide what I believe or try to sugar coat anything. Give the hard core truth and then you can be judged, that is the sign of maturity not changing your mind on a whim or because someone presents a different point of view and berates you into believing something else.

The republicans have to go back to Teddy Roosevelt, that's why they've decided that it's easier to make Reagan look like a good president even though he was the champion of south American facism.

Erm, you really want to compare Reagan to Clinton in the "need to make look good" department? ;)

Seriously: All Presidents have good and bad aspects. But in 1980, another 4 years of Carter was obviously not the answer. Reagan, at the end of the day, was a MUCH better President than most post WW2, warts and all.

When during the debate he was asked if he could name three mistakes he'd made. He hemmed and hawed and skirted the question with a "Oh, sure, maybe ... a long time ago ... but they were little things and I'm not getting into them."

John Kerry goes and actually explains what the hell he's talking about. And then Bush used to respond "well how'sat work?" and conservatives would say to themselves "yup, I don't immediatly understand it without thinking at all, it must be a lie."

Bush's speech is Orwellian because he says meaningless things that the listeners interpret the way that they want. John Kerry explains himself in clear unequivocal ways that conservatives just don't have the attention span to follow.

Yes, indeed. I think the classic case of Kerry saying something that conservatives just couldn't understand was about the funding for the military in Iraq and Ashcanistan. "I voted for the 87 billion, before I voted against it" is probably the most clear and self-explanatory statement ever.

By the way, it's been more than 100 days since Kerry promised to sign the SF whatever that would allow access to ALL his service records. These records would lay to rest several areas of contention between his accounts and the accounts of the Swift Boat veterans that spoke out against him.

By the way again, Kerry just participated in a unanimous vote by the Senate to pass a 82 billion emergency war spending bill for military operations in SWA. What's changed? Oh, he's not posturing for the left right now.

Why is it so far fetched? Don't you have more than one grandparent? Don't those grandparents have their own individual ancestry? You have, in your genetics, 16 great-great grandparents. 16 people, all of whom culminate into you. If 2 of those are Irish, 3 of them Native Americans, 2 of them Black, 4 of them French, 3 of them Turkish, and 2 of them Dutch ... then you are an Irish Native American Black Franco Dutch Turk ...

Why is that so hard to conceive? Granted, that's more of a mix than most people are. My grandparents are Jewish, Cajun, Native American, and Irish. Last I checked, neither Muslim nor Military service constitutes genetic makeup, but rather things I've chosen to do with my life.

Although, I imagine you probably think you're pure lilly white as the driven snow 100% bloodline or somesuch. Inbreeding does that to people, I suppose. Go figure.

How do you know? not to mention that American Indian is not the only form of "indian" he could have been ... there were tribes up through into canada and even farther north (eskamo) that wouldent have been killed by your relitives

Heh ... no ... I am Nakohodotsi Caddo. A NE Texan tribe. We were never butchered. We had a treaty with the Republic of Texas that they upheld.

My tribe was not butchered. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Your "tribe" did battle against us for a time. So some butcherings did take place.




Woodrow Wilson would be a lie. I am descendent of George Washington's brother. My last name is Washington. I've done the genaeology as well as others. You want a scan of my driver's license and membership to the Sons of the America Revolution (which you have to prove your lineage to even apply)?

I'm thinking you're just jealous that I not only know who I am, but that from which I came. Do you even know your father's name?

You are full of it. First, you look like a freak (I've seen your photo), second, you may have the last name of Washington, but that does not make you a descendant. What do you mean you've done "others". Did you keep picking different Washingtons' until you found the "best" one?


You don't know who you are! With that silly bloodline of yours, I'd be all messed up too. Go tell it to allah.

BTW-Your mother most likely lied to your daddy and said it was his. Your kind are not really known for being honest. ;)

The only tribe my tribe ever did battle with in our recorded history was with a tribe that doesn't even exist anymore. I've told you what my tribe is ... what's yours?

Prove I'm a liar. Name who the Nakohodotsi did battle with that you could possibly be a descendent of and which ever practised scalping.

Ball's in your court, Wadd. It's also important to note that my tribe never did battle with Mexico, the United States, or the Republic of Texas. We've lived in peace for thousands of years.

Yes, indeed. I think the classic case of Kerry saying something that conservatives just couldn't understand was about the funding for the military in Iraq and Ashcanistan. "I voted for the 87 billion, before I voted against it" is probably the most clear and self-explanatory statement ever.

By the way, it's been more than 100 days since Kerry promised to sign the SF whatever that would allow access to ALL his service records. These records would lay to rest several areas of contention between his accounts and the accounts of the Swift Boat veterans that spoke out against him.

By the way again, Kerry just participated in a unanimous vote by the Senate to pass a 82 billion emergency war spending bill for military operations in SWA. What's changed? Oh, he's not posturing for the left right now.


just out of curiosity, have you even seen his voting stances in the past on military issues??

can you just imagine what it would have been like had this idiot gotten into the white house? With a voting record like that, Hell Id move to switzerland if he came pres.And Clinton really didnt help with giving China and N. Korea nuclear technology.

I personally dont care for John Kerry. I expressed myself when I voted. I cant stand when other people who may have voted the same way I did cheapen my stance on something by dragging it into the gutter.
I dont hink he's insane. I just wouldnt vote for him because he isnt the type of leader I want. Now if you happen to disagree with me, I wont target your lineage and beliefs for mocking. I'll just let you vote for the one you prefer.

Okie ... my statement was non-causal relationship in motion. An exercise in academics. Most white males vote Republican in the United States and nearly all serial killers are white males. Hence, the non-causal relationship leads us to say "A majority of serial killers vote Republican".

I didn't say, as you assert, that "all Republicans are serial killers", which would be an exercise in extremist hyperbole.

Yeah, I know a good story about baloney!!! yeah!! It was a good few years ago and me and some of my friends would go down to the arcades and you know... play games there. Anyway one of my friends (Germany) asked me- while I was in the middle of playing pong- if i had ever tried baloney. I laughed in the twits face for asking such a silly question. "Of course I have you silly bugger" I told him. But then he lay it down for me. He confessed, right there in the arcade, that he had never had baloney. Of course i tried not to laugh at him and told him that it was perfectly OK to not have had baloney at his age (we were only 17) and told him that one day he would find the right baloney and until then he should just be happy with his lot. Well he was certainly happy and with that he continued playing until we had all ran out of money and had to go all the way back home!! I also saw a squirrel that day. Bye.
