I'm sitting at my desk in my home office, all alone, wife at work, and I gotta say, I just watched this and let out a triumphant cheer at the end like I would if the Denver Broncos scored a last-second touchdown to win the Super Bowl! I mean, shout-out-loud, arms in the air, full-blown "YES!" My dogs think I've gone insane! Excellent job!!!
Bush's War for Reelection James Moore, Chap. 10, p. 203-204
"The day that George W. Bush got word he had been suspended as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard , August 15, 1972, Richard Cunnare of Alabama was in a helicopter falling from the sky. The commander of the AH-1G Cobra attack aircraft, Chuck Dean, was apparently dead from a bullet to the head, and Cunnare saw the jungle floor in Vietnam rising toward the helicopter...
...while Thomas Boyd and Howard Fraley dragged a screaming Richard Cunnare through the jungle that morning of August 15, 1972, each of them desperately hoping to live, the young man who was to become president of the United States of America was continuing to ignore direct orders to report for duty to the National Guard."
He's good looking as well as intelligent and self-made? Wow, unique combination. A bit too much preening, guaranteed, but I can overlook that given the other qualities...especially when compared to the ugly chimp who currently occupies the White House thanks to Daddy's friends and clearly isn't capable of doing the job to which he was assigned.
Bush doesn't have time to fix his hair, he's too busy trying to find someone to blame for his own screw ups. When you're as responsible as Edwards, you have more time for things like making sure you're presentable.
Whoever made that video is stupid....George W Bush "Football"?!?! Hello! He was a CHEERLEADER for crying out loud, while Edwards was the REAL FOOTBALL PLAYER!
And Bush grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth while Edwards grew up working class.
And George W Bush being associated with JOHNNY CASH?!?! HAHAHAHA!!! Bush probably doesn't even know who the Man In Black is, and that he was a LIBERAL country musician who supported Carter and Clinton! LOL! What a load of tripe!
From The Arizona Republic 10/28/04 (You know it's bad fpr Bush when the Republic reprints this in their paper):
Use your vote Tuesday to impeach George Bush
Richard
Cohen Washington Post Writers Group Oct. 28, 2004 12:00 AM
I do not write the headlines for my columns. Someone else does. But if I were to write the headline for this one it would be, "Impeach George Bush."
Of course, I realize there's no chance Congress would impeach the president at this point or under almost any circumstance. It somehow reserves its outrage for lying about sex under oath and not, as now seems clear, the making of war under false pretenses.
Say what you will about Bill Clinton, no one died in the White House pantry. advertisement
The same cannot be said in the larger sense about George W. Bush. Well over 1,000 Americans and countless more Iraqis have died because the president insisted on going to war. I know I should grieve the Iraqi dead as much as I do American ones, but I simply don't. It is the Americans - those names I read almost every day, the hometowns, the lives I conjure up for them, the hideous moments of death - who would be a part of every one of my articles of impeachment. I would read every name from the well of the House.
I do not hold Bush accountable for believing Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. I have talked with senior administration officials who opposed the war and they, too, thought Saddam had chemical and biological weapons - but not nuclear ones. By the time Bush had firmly decided to go to war, all in Washington knew Saddam's nuclear weapons program consisted of a wish. Even Vice President Dick Cheney had to know that, but the truth does not matter to him. In a long career as a Cold Warrior, he morphed into the enemy: the end justifies the means. In his forthcoming book on the Crusades, Fighting for Christendom, Christopher Tyerman of Oxford University argues that, "There existed no strategic or material interest for the knights of the west" to invade the Muslim east and try to wrest Jerusalem from Islam. "Consequently, the Christian wars of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in the Near East provide startling testimony to the power of ideas."
I cite this book - as indeed I am reading it - for a reason. You will remember that early on Bush referred to the war against terrorism as a "crusade." The word, though, was too freighted with Christian-Muslim conflict and Bush quickly backed down.
But, really, he was speaking the truth. Just as the original Crusades were a form of mass madness, so was this one when it was extended to Iraq. It came, as did the original one, out of the bonnet of a leader: Bush this time, Pope Urban II in 1095 - and it swept everything before it. Congress lent its approval and so, significantly, did the media (myself included).
The failure of leadership was across the board. The events of 9/11 were as emotionally wrenching to us as had been the Muslim capture of Jerusalem to medieval Christians.
My peripatetic colleague Dana Milbank recently reported on a poll showing that 72 percent of Bush's supporters believe that Iraq did in fact possess WMD and that 75 percent believed that Saddam gave al-Qaida "substantial support." These beliefs are false, in contradiction of the facts, and even Bush, when pressed, has admitted that.
But these beliefs did not arise out of nowhere. They are a direct consequence of the administration's repeated lies - lies of commission, such as Cheney's statements, and lies of omission, the appalling failure to correct wrongly held views.
Not since the Spanish-American War has the United States gone off to war so casually, so half-cocked and so ineptly. The sinking of the Maine, the casus belli for that dustup, has been replaced by WMD, and the Hearst and Pulitzer presses are now talk radio and Fox News Channel. Everything has changed. Nothing has changed. Still, though, we mourn the dead, look away from the wounded and maimed, and wonder what it was all about. We embarked, truly and regrettably, on a crusade.
Still, from Bush comes not a bleep of regret, not to mention apology. It is all "steady as she goes" - although we have lost our bearings and we no longer know our destination. (Don't tell me it's a democratic Middle East.) If the man were commanding a ship, he would be relieved of command. If he were the CEO of some big company, the board would offer him a golden parachute - and force him to jump.
But in government, it's the people who make those decisions. We get our chance on Tuesday.
Just because Bush acts like a faggot does not mean he is one, nor does it mean he blew the whole football team when he was a Girly Man Cheerleader in College.
The thing i like best about President Bush is the way he drives the left absolutely insane. I am going to vote for him just so i can continue to see them get closer and closer to needing a straight-jacket. When President Bush gets elected again, we will see everyone go crazy just like Lawrence O'donnell did. Won't it be a glorious sight?? i can't wait.
You prefer childish displays in your president to a statesman? That's why you would vote for Bush? Now I know what the survey meant when it showed that W's supporters are moronic compared to Kerry's.
Of course, the comparison is appropriate, i.e., W to Edwards, since we know that W is not really in charge of things...no one in their right mind would hand the keys of the White House to him.
So, where is the Cheney v. Kerry video, i.e., the one featuring the two real authorities on the respective tickets?
It's amusing, but as meaningless as drawing devil horns on Bush and calling it a political statement.
I'm supposed to vote for Bush because he's an average, red-blooded American? How dense do you have to be to select a candidate on personality issues over his political history? It's mind-bogglingly asinine.
And I'm an equal-opportunity insulter. If anyone changes their vote because they saw Bush flip the bird, they deserve to be shot. It's "issues" like this that fuck up this democracy.
The reactions on this board prove my longstanding theory: most liberals have ABSOLUTELY NO sense of humor. Who'd want to join the party of thin-skinned negativity?
Anon: How can anyone support a wuss like Bush.Let me correct you on something, the difference is that not all that support Bush agree with him 100% of the time. Given that people are realizing Kerry doesn't stand for anything, instead he tries to please everyone by saying whatever he feels they want to hear, is the reason that people SUPPORT Bush.
This coming from an Independent.
Why should anyone support an admitted war criminal, Kofi ass kissing, Kumbaya singin' pushover U.N. pawn like Jenn-Jiss John?Hell, his own wife doesn't even trust him (pre-nup), SO WHY SHOULD WE?
There was a time when the president had class -- he was a respected man. He had to classy because he was representing our Nation. But, no need for that now I guess. Seems like most of his supporters are okay with a complete idiot as president. I think this is funny, and I thank Bill and Protein for putting it together, but it certainly doesn't make me feel like Bush is more manly. Nor, does behind the scenes footage of Edwards fixing his hair doesn't make him less manly. This is silly bathroom humor at best. Have you noticed that there is far less ad hominem/non sequitor attacks like this coming from the Dem/Lib camp? Maybe it shows a certain maturity level, what do you think?
"I was an undecided voter until I saw this. Viva Bush! Julian Philadelphia, PA"
Julian: I'm not sure that I would admit this, but Ok. If this is really what pushed you over the edge, well Julian, it's just scary. Good luck with your new found wisdom.
Speaking of War Criminals: The rest of what you write is just irrelevant palaber parroted from talk radio and TV.
Household Survey Sees 100,000 Iraqi Deaths
Thu Oct 28, 1:13 PM ET
By EMMA ROSS, AP Medical Writer
LONDON - A survey of deaths in Iraqi households estimates that as many as 100,000 more people may have died throughout the country in the 18 months after the U.S. invasion than would be expected based on the death rate before the war.
There is no official figure for the number of Iraqis killed since the conflict began, but some non-governmental estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000. As of Wednesday, 1,081 U.S. servicemen had been killed, according to the U.S. Defense Department.
The scientists who wrote the report concede that the data they based their projections on were of "limited precision," because the quality of the information depends on the accuracy of the household interviews used for the study. The interviewers were Iraqi, most of them doctors.
Designed and conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad, the study is being published Thursday on the Web site of The Lancet medical journal.
The survey indicated violence accounted for most of the extra deaths seen since the invasion, and air strikes from coalition forces caused most of the violent deaths, the researchers wrote in the British-based journal.
"Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children," they said.
The report was released just days before the U.S. presidential election, and the lead researcher said he wanted it that way. The Lancet routinely publishes papers on the Web before they appear in print, particularly if it considers the findings of urgent public health interest.
Those reports then appear later in the print issue of the journal. The journal's spokesmen said they were uncertain which print issue the Iraqi report would appear in and said it was too late to make Friday's issue, and possibly too late for the Nov. 5 edition.
Les Roberts, the lead researcher from Johns Hopkins, said the article's timing was up to him.
"I emailed it in on Sept. 30 under the condition that it came out before the election," Roberts told The Asocciated Press. "My motive in doing that was not to skew the election. My motive was that if this came out during the campaign, both candidates would be forced to pledge to protect civilian lives in Iraq (news - web sites).
"I was opposed to the war and I still think that the war was a bad idea, but I think that our science has transcended our perspectives," Roberts said. "As an American, I am really, really sorry to be reporting this."
Richard Peto, an expert on study methods who was not involved with the research, said the approach the scientists took is a reasonable one to investigate the Iraq death toll.
However, it's possible that they may have zoned in on hotspots that might not be representative of the death toll across Iraq, said Peto, a professor of medical statistics at Oxford University in England.
To conduct the survey, investigators visited 33 neighborhoods spread evenly across the country in September, randomly selecting clusters of 30 households to sample. Of the 988 households visited, 808, consisting of 7,868 people, agreed to participate in the survey. At each one they asked how many people lived in the home and how many births and deaths there had been since January 2002.
The scientists then compared death rates in the 15 months before the invasion with those that occurred during the 18 months after the attack and adjusted those numbers to account for the different time periods.
Even though the sample size appears small, this type of survey is considered accurate and acceptable by scientists and was used to calculate war deaths in Kosovo in the late 1990s.
The investigators worked in teams of three. Five of the six Iraqi interviewers were doctors and all six were fluent in English and Arabic.
In the households reporting deaths, the person who died had to be living there at the time of the death and for more than two months before to be counted. In an attempt at firmer confirmation, the interviewers asked for death certificates in 78 households and were provided them 63 times.
There were 46 deaths in the surveyed households before the war. After the invasion, there were 142 deaths. That is an increase from 5 deaths per 1,000 people per year to 12.3 per 1,000 people per year — more than double.
However, more than a third of the post-invasion deaths were reported in one cluster of households in the city Falluja, where fighting has been most intense recently. Because the fighting was so severe there, the numbers from that location may have exaggerated the overall picture.
When the researchers recalculated the effect of the war without the statistics from Falluja, the deaths end up at 7.9 per 1,000 people per year — still 1.5 times higher than before the war.
Even with Falluja factored out, the survey "indicates that the death toll associated with the invasion and occupation of Iraq is more likely than not about 100,000 people, and may be much higher," the report said.
The most common causes of death before the invasion of Iraq were heart attacks, strokes and other chronic diseases. However, after the invasion, violence was recorded as the primary cause of death and was mainly attributed to coalition forces — with about 95 percent of those deaths caused by bombs or fire from helicopter gunships.
Violent deaths — defined as those brought about by the intentional act of others — were reported in 15 of the 33 clusters. The chances of a violent death were 58 times higher after the invasion than before it, the researchers said.
Twelve of the 73 violent deaths were not attributed to coalition forces. The researchers said 28 children were killed by coalition forces in the survey households. Infant mortality rose from 29 deaths per 1,000 live births before the war to 57 deaths per 1,000 afterward.
The researchers estimated the nationwide death toll due to the conflict by multiplying the difference between the two death rates by the estimated population of Iraq — 24.4 million at the start of the war. The result was then multiplied by 18 months, the average period between the invasion and the survey interviews.
"We estimate that there were 98,000 extra deaths during the postwar period in the 97 percent of Iraq represented by all the clusters except Falluja," the researchers said in the journal.
"This isn't about individual soldiers doing bad things. This appears to be a problem with the approach to occupation in Iraq," Roberts said.
The researchers called for further confirmation by an independent body such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, or the World Health Organization (news - web sites).
The study was funded by the Center for International Emergency Disaster and Refugee Studies at Johns Hopkins University and by the Small Arms Survey in Geneva, Switzerland, a research project based at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva.
It's funny how the lefties get more derogatory the more their despiration increases.
Also,
How can anyone support a wuss like Bush.
I've delt with cowards like Bush in my position as a real commander, in the for real US Air Force.
By Anonymous, at 1:40 PM
I might believe you if you actually had the balls to include your name and rank. Crawl back under your rock. Your loser candidate is going to lose, loser
Wow, what a pack of idiots here. All these comments remind me of a nursery with all the whining. WAHHH Bush is a bad man. WAHHH Bush is a liar. WAHHHH Bush is a daddy's boy. Tell you what peeps. I am personally a third generation family business owner with about 500 employees' livelihoods on the line. When I hear crap like "he's a daddy's boy" or "he only has his position because of his daddy", it makes me want to puke at the envy. Let me fill you in on a little something here out of experience. Following in a family member's footsteps is a tough act to follow. It makes you work twice as hard to fill those shoes. Although I've seen some people in my position abuse their situations or lazily stroll through the motions. But watching W, I can tell he is definitely NOT lazy or abusing any nepotism. Love him or hate him, Bush walks the walk. Yeah he partied back in his day, and like all of us, made some poor decisions here and there. But when it comes to the presidency and protecting the people that live and breath freedom in this country, Bush is the man that will make the tough decisions. Not Kerry. Kerry is an anti-war protestor that somehow crept through a miserable senate history into running for President. One of my ex-Navy friends says the military has a name for people like Kerry; "ticket punchers". He was in Vietnam long enough to get that ticket punched to get him to the next ticket that will get him closer to his misguided John F. Kennedy complex. It is your right to hate Bush. Don't vote for him if you don't like him. But for God's sake, voting for Kerry is basically a vote to piss on our entire military and send a message of a weak America for not finishing Iraq off because the entire media and a flip flopping bufoon tell you so. Leadership is not a popularity contest. I can give you a hundred examples of employees who would "run things better if I was in control", but cannot give you the first idea of what they would do to make things "better". Sure Clinton was popular, but he wasn't a very good leader. He benefitted from an economical direction set forth by Reagan, then boosted by the "dot com" balloon. He "created jobs", too bad they were mostly government funded jobs like police and other cival servant jobs that were initially funded federally, but then killed states after they had to take over the salaries. He set a poor ethical example. He sat on his ass as terrorists attacked several embassies and other targets. And let's not forget, he was IMPEACHED! So for all you whiners out there. Let the grown ups figure the big stuff out, so you can move on to your next childish crusade. He shoots. Nothing but net. Everytime!
Kerry doesn't stand for anything? And you vote? Go get yourself informed and then go to the polls. You just proved how independent you truly are by stating that you haven't looked any deeper than the campaign press, i.e., you let others decide for you. The problem with Kerry is there is a bit too much depth, which is quite admirable in a leader by the way, and you actually have to read to find out about him. Why not check out what he and Edwards have planned before stating BC04 talking points or the media that lets itself be led around by the nose by GOP scare tactics? Whether they can accomplish it or not, is another matter given extrinsic factors and the way Congress decides to work...or not if still run by the simpletons currently in charge there. However, I'll take their program over BC04 because the latter have laid out nothing but more governing by secret.
I have plenty of humor in me but not when dealing with people who think re-electing someone who intends to drive my country into a ditch is a good idea.
Mik - Pulling out the old "I'm have a handle and you don't trick" eh? Well, let's suppose that I gave you my full name, phone number, and address. Would you come over my house and hang with me? Would you call me a loser if you met me in person? I doubt it. It would be scary to show up and find out that I'm much bigger than you, wouldn't it? Mik - we're all anonymous here - handles be damned. It's the internets, ya know?
YaMon, Bush walks the walk? Which one is that? He's not half the man his father was and his father wasn't much. As I have stated at my blog, a quote from Chekhov, "Any idiot can handle a crisis, it's day to day living that wears you out." He handled the crisis of 9/11 well, as any idiot would, but he was a piss-ant little do-nothing before 9/11 and then abused the goodwill of the American people to push the country in a direction it didn't necessarily want to go. As Shakespeare said (I'm paraphrasing), it's good to have a giant's strength but tyranny to abuse it. Bush doesn't have the intellectual capacity to govern effectively so he uses that last refuge of a scoundrel: patriotism. Love of country is a good thing if the country is worth loving but being blinded by being buried in the flag is idiocy.
Okay, i have the rest of the evening off to enjoy the left losing thier minds over this video. Lefties, keep those comments coming as i need a good laugh tonight. Oh, and Julian, welcome to our side. Just sit back and watch the left come unhinged. And just to get them off to a good start let me say how i LOVE President Bush's swaggar and his pronouncation of NUK-u-Lar. That should fire em up. Now lets hear your wild rants lefties!!!!!!!
And I'm an equal-opportunity insulter. If anyone changes their vote because they saw Bush flip the bird, they deserve to be shot. It's "issues" like this that fuck up this democracy.
Come on, this has been a long, very long, campaign period. If a voter still needs to do independent research to discover Kerry, then he is simply a bad candidate. If he can't come across in English to his own people, how will he convince the coerced and bribed to stay in the coalition?
It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so negative, grim and snooty/condescending. Ultimately, that's the main reason he is going to lose. The more positive candidate always wins...and if he hasn't learned that simple truth of U.S. national elections, he doesn't deserve the brass ring.
"Lefties, keep those comments coming as i need a good laugh tonight."
Just keep laughing. Show your true colors. Show how seriously you take yourself, your colleagues, your future, and your country. Your smug attitude towards a group of very serious people will only make us stronger. So, just keep laughing at us. Give us power buddy.
I'm dying here......the comments are just icing! Thanks for all the howls...yippeeeeeee. Nice work all. So sad some peeps don't have any sense of humor....but I guess that just means more for us! XoSondraK
The latest talk radio and TV theme must be that anyone who votes against Bush hates him.
True, many people in the world hate Bush, and for good reason. But most Americans can see how his administration has harmed our country, and the people who live here. There have been virtually no positive outcomes from anything the Bush admistration has done. At least not for the average American.
Bush is weak, he always has been.
Kerry will be a great President; partially becuase he is going to have to extricate us from Iraq and bring the budget under control. It will not be easy. The alternative is a man with no plan, Bush, who has a history of failure. Both as President, and throughout his life. Bush, as presented in public, is just a pasteboard mask.
Bruce Charles, Thanks for confirmation that the 30 years of whining from the right about a liberal media is complete tripe. If the press were so liberal-leaning, you would know more about Kerry's program. And, if you'd paid attention in the debates you'd have found that Kerry actually did lay out some substantive talk while Mr. Positive W Bush did little but trot out well-worn lines in attacking Kerry. When Kerry attacks Bush, it gets reported and then 'balanced.' When Kerry lays out policy, it doesn't make the news because it is too dry and doesn't sell papers or ad time on the air. Tells me plenty about the electorate and the press that people say they don't know Kerry.
There was a time when the president had class -- he was a respected man. He had to classy because he was representing our Nation. But, no need for that now I guess. Seems like most of his supporters are okay with a complete idiot as president.Y'know, I really hate bringing this up, but after Bush's predecessor had an affair in the Oval Office, are you actually filing that under "classy" while suddenly being so offended by Bush jokingly flipping off his colleagues? Can it with the phoney outrage already.
I think this is funny, and I thank Bill and Protein for putting it together, but it certainly doesn't make me feel like Bush is more manly. Nor, does behind the scenes footage of Edwards fixing his hair doesn't make him less manly. This is silly bathroom humor at best.What's wrong with that?
Have you noticed that there is far less ad hominem/non sequitor attacks like this coming from the Dem/Lib camp?1. This coming from a guy who just called Bush a complete idiot. 2. Go to Google and use either the web or image search with the entry "bush chimp". Then come back here and say that again.
Maybe it shows a certain maturity level, what do you think?Yes, yes it does.
I've always heard about this 'plan' from Kerry...but never heard much about the details, he always seems to shy away from those. I've heard this is a "great plan" and numerous times that the plan exists, but that its a "secret plan". Forgive me for waiting this long, but BULLSHIT! Thats right, I'm calling Bullshit on Kerry.
(Oh, and for the rebuttals, a plan to do things "better and faster" does not constitute a plan. For example, saying "I want to make more money faster" is not a plan. Saying HOW I would go about making more money faster on the other hand, IS a plan.
XoSondraK: Humor - really it's all about highly developed your humor is. Eddie Murphy, Rodney Dangerfield, Chris Rock -- these are examples of people with a great sense of humor. This is more comparable to the wedgie guy in gym class. It's kinda funny, but I'm just fascinated at how many people think it's the most hilarious thing they've ever seen. Poor deprived people. More shocking are those people here who say they are going to vote for Bush now. I can only assume that they were kidding, but Jesus, that's just a retarded comment to make.
My colors are RED WHITE AND BLUE. I know those colors scare a Liberal. I think it is "your party" that believes in burning the flag and taking God out of the Pledge and killing unborn babies and on and on and on.
Johnny K called, he says he doesn't know what he was thinking. After seeing this video, he's conceding the race tonight, and asking for Schilling to forgive him.
Very funny. Best part was the original Rawhide song. To all the Bush haters (and that is all you are, not Kerry supporters), try and spend less time regurgitating the same old Democratic fodder, lies, untruths, half-truths, and actually do some research. The worst part of this election has been having to listen to folks who care so little for their right to vote that they mindlessly go along with whatever is said by either party.
Spend more time looking at what is being said to determine if it is truthful or not and less time repeating it (ala Kerry and the supposed missing explosives). Both parties have avoided the truth at times, but only Kerry/Edwards and the Dems are willing to sink to new lows telling anyone who will hear them the same lies about a military draft, social security, healthcare, etc.
"I really hate bringing this up, but after Bush's predecessor had an affair in the Oval Office, are you actually filing that under "classy" while suddenly being so offended by Bush jokingly flipping off his colleagues? Can it with the phoney outrage already."
Actually, my outrage is not phony. Some people still believe that the image of the U.S. is one worth preserving. I don't exclude Clinton from classless behavior. Never said I did. I think we have been on a slippery slope for awhile. If this continues, we will eventually have Sideshow Bob running the country. I give it 3-4 more elections.
"This is silly bathroom humor at best. 'What's wrong with that?'"
Nothing wrong with bathroom humor. But, we are talking about the image of a standing president, and a potential president. If either side wins, then they look like buffoons to the rest of the world. We can't stop this sort of thing from happening, but we don't need to add to it do we? I'm opposed to this from both sides. Afterall, this is our leader. Both camps are suspect, but I believe that the Rep/Cons have been more vociferous in this type of attack. Just look at this forum -- Dems/Libs don't typically debate other users by using ad hominem attacks.
I've profilerated this myself by calling Bush an idiot -- this is awful!
"I know those colors scare a Liberal. I think it is "your party" that believes in burning the flag and taking God out of the Pledge and killing unborn babies and on and on and on."
Wow! Do you seriously believe the things you say? Are you even old enough to vote yet? This is the kind of dribble that can only come from a really ignorant person. I'm sorry for you.
I've delt with cowards like Bush in my position as a real commander, in the for real US Air Force.

Anonymous Dem posted at 207 pm: "There was a time when the president had class -- he was a respected man. He had to classy because he was representing our Nation..."
Class?? Let's review. Clinton -- Monica, blue dress, cigar (shudder) Marc Rich; Carter -- hemorrhoids, Billy Beer, killer rabit; Johnson -- surgery scar display, crapper conferences; Kennedy -- Judith Campbell Exener; nude WH swimming with Fiddle and Faddle; Truman -- threats to emasculate music critics...
"Check out the foreign press and you will see who most of the world considers a bafoon: Bush"
I will give the canned response to that: "Well, who gives a shit what other countries think of us (pitooey [spits Skoal in a 7-11 Big Gulp cup]). It's not their president, so they can just keep their faggy opinions to themselves. Besides we liberated most of those yellow belly pussies WWII. They should be kissin our asses! (pitooey). If they don't like it, we can just drop some nukes on them!"
Yeah, this is what we are up against. It's like debating with the guy who was always in detention in high school.
Let me disabuse you of the lies the talk radio and TV people tell you:
This person, who already voted for Kerry with an early ballot is: A veteran who has been in combat, a gun owner in posesson of a concealed carry permit, who believes in God, does not believe in abortion, wants a fiscally sound government, does not want to export jobs, and wants illegal immigration delt with.
"This person, who already voted for Kerry with an early ballot is: A veteran who has been in combat, a gun owner in posesson of a concealed carry permit, who believes in God, does not believe in abortion, wants a fiscally sound government, does not want to export jobs, and wants illegal immigration delt with."
You know what... Amen to that my friend. I'm well armed. I grew up in a military family. I hunt. I believe in God, and I'm married. I lost my job on Bush's watch -- it was exported to Russia! So, blow me!
I was responing to a question on the subject. Beyond how a foreign government can be used to a mutual benefit to the USA, I don't give a damn what they think either.
These people will NOT work with Bush anymore. Just like in the video, he has flipped them off too.
I would like to hear one liberal, just one, fess up and say (out loud, that is) "Hmmn, if these reports from reliable sources are true about Russian assistance to Iraq before the War regarding relocation of massive amounts of hidden weapons, then there's a very good chance that WMD was included within it. It's really sorta hard now to think there weren't any."
It would also be nice to hear one of the blessed left bank inteligentsia come out and say "Based on what we know so far about the U.N.

That video would be funny if I was in 3rd grade, and ate my own boogers like you conservatives.
Here are the reasons why us lefties will win this election.
#1 Most Americans like our side - We have a clear message. Fear! And we never change our position on issues, day to day, based on polls and newspaper headlines. They like how John Kerry & Silky Pony are nuanced and sophisticated (prissy). It will help us get back in the door with France (hopefully - fingers crossed!) :)
#2 They like how "Presidential" John Kerry looks windsurfing or walking from the woods with actors carrying dead 'waterfowl' while wearing camoflauge. The NRA vote is ours, baby. Most polls also show that they enjoy Kerry wearing full-body condoms from time to time in an effort to mix it up a lil'.
And most importantly...
#3 He will win because he has the support of thousands upon thousand of:
a. activist (socialist) judges and attorneys b. NAACP & ACORN - crack addicted voter registration volunteers c. dead people and oddly enough, cartoon characters voting in record numbers
You silly Republicans cannot match our evil and wicked desire to bring this country to its knees.
“Check out the foreign press and you will see who most of the world considers a bafoon: Bush” Anonymous at 303 pm
I could say that I don’t give a flying you know what about what foreigners think about us or our President but PJ O’ Rourke said it so much better.
PJ responding to something some foreigner said to him about something or another:
“...Back in London, I was having dinner in the Groucho Club - this week's in-spot for what's left of Britain's lit glitz and nouveau rock riche - when one more person started in on the Stars and Stripes. Eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about "Your country's never been invaded." (This fellow had been two during the Blitz, you see.) "You don't know the horror, the suffering. You think war is..."
I snapped:
"A John Wayne movie," I said. "That's what you were going to say, wasn't it?
We think war is a John Wayne movie. We think life is a John Wayne movie - with good guys and bad guys, as simple as that. Well, you know something, Mister Limey Poofter? You're right. And let me tell you who those bad guys are. They're us . WE BE BAD.
"We're the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We're three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother's side. You take your Germany, France and Spain, roll them all together and it won't give us room to park our cars. We're the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap d'Antibes. And we've got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss-ant metric numbers go."
"You say our country's never been invaded? You're right, little buddy. Because I'd like to see the needle-dicked foreigners who'd have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get our hearts started in the morning. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying ‘Cheerio'. Hell can't hold our sock-hops. We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, f*ck longer and buy more things than you know the names of.
I'd rather be a junkie in a New York City jail than king, queen and jack of all you Europeans.
We eat little countries like this for breakfast and shi*t them out before lunch."
Who cares what the world thinks? Especially the Jew hating French.
Just saw this on Drudge.
PARIS, Oct. 28 (Xinhuanet) -- France will be always on the side of the Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat, French Foreign Minister Michel Barnier declared Thursday.
John Kerry on the Daily Show: "I'm going to stay laser beam focused. Today I gave a speech in New York talking about the real choices." "John Edwards and I have been all over the country, incidentally I watched his announcment on your show" John Stewart: "I think that's why he lost" [laughs] Kerry: "No he's about to win big time."
LASER BEAM FOCUSED? Kerry didn't go 6 seconds on describing "the real choices" without breaking into something to pull the "focus" from the issues.
You can watch it posted on my website http://www.yamonsvotal.com Scroll halfway down.
Every time I see a liberal posed with a real question, he/she sidesteps and runs off on some stupid ass pre-programmed rant on health care or the environment or something else, anything else but the answer to the question.
BTW, just to get the jump on all you liberal whiners. When Bush becomes a lame duck president, don't go harping on the "that's right he's lame" or "Bush puts the lame in lame duck" crap. Just go off to your next rally or protest and shut up.
Is it just me or does John Edwards seem WAY to familiar with the ladies makeup toys in this video. Nothing like a trial lawyer / absentee Senator who knows how to handle a compact!!
Bush's spontaneity and genuineness are in sharp contrast to the pompous windbag Kerry. As Jacob Weisberg said, only a natural narcissist marinating for 20 years in the Senate could end up as excruciatingly dull and pompous as Kerry.
As for IQ, experts in educational measurement have pegged Bush's IQ arount 125. His SAT scores translate to about 1280 in the current metric.
If being the son of a president makes life so easy, what excuse do the Kennedy kids offer?
Democrat elitists are sniffing the truth. They're going to LOSE AGAIN! Work up a good hate, guys. Bush is smarter than you'll ever be. And most of you would puke at the sight of the jets Bush flew back in the '70's. I suspect many of the biggest complainer/critics of Bush's National Guard service left the country back then, and slinked back when Jim-Bob Carter granted them amnesty in the hope of getting a few more slimy democrat votes.
A sense of humor is a prerequisite when dealing with a liberal. Otherwise you'd get so frustrated you'd go insane. BTW, the show is based in comedy, but it IS a talk show and the situation I'm referring to was not a sketch comedy bit. Unlike the Kerry Campaign.
One sunny day in 2005, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry." The Marine replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here." The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry"
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here."
The man thanked him and again walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Kerry. I've told you already that Mr. Kerry is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"
The old man answered, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it!"
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow."
Yes. France. Food for oil for fraud. Funding Saddam, selling him weapons, and undermining UN sanctions. Counter-balancing US 'hyper-power'. Threatening Turkey over EU membership so it denies staging areas to the US 4th Infrantry Division.
France the largest nuclear proliferation exporter in the word today.
BTW, a correction is in order. Aventis is not going to give us anything. It is going to SELL us all the vaccine they can.
John Kerry meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Kerry frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?" The Queen smiles, "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Kerry goes back home to ask John Edwards, his vice presidential choice the same question.
"John. Answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," says John Edwards. "Let me get back to you on that one." Edwards goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall. Edwards shouts, "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"
Edwards smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, Edwards goes back to speak with Kerry. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."
Kerry gets up, stomps over to John Edwards, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"
Here, I'll say it for you: "Hmmn, if these reports from reliable sources are true about Russian assistance to Iraq before the War regarding relocation of massive amounts of hidden weapons, then there's a very good chance that WMD was included within it. It's really sorta hard now to think there weren't any."
I'm still voting for Kerry. These reports are a lucky thing for Bush -- lucky for him that they were finally able to dig something up before the election. But, still knowingly lied to us, didn't he? He didn't know about this when he made his case for war. The truth is, he didn't know about any WMDs -- he lied and that should register some level of disgust in you. Oddly enough, most conservatives insist that liberals are morally corrupt. Disregarding the facts, and going to war based on a lie seems kinda morally corrupt to me. I could be wrong though, who knows? I'm glad that ol' Bushie didn't know about this before, or we may have attacked Russia, Afghanistan, and Iraq all at the same time.
Yep, no question about it. The responses here clearly demonstrate what I have long observed--Most liberals are sanctimoniously self-righteous and highly selective in their moral sensitivities.
I find it hard to listen to the double standards of liberal dogma, where buzz words like "tolerance" are simply a one-way street of agreement with them.
Liberals as a whole are everything they claim to despise in others--harsh, condescending, elitist, narrow-minded, and yes, intolerant. In all truth, they deserve Kerry--the poster-child and embodiment of everything they are and for which they stand.
Did also mention that liberals have absolutely no sense of humor? Oh yea, see "tolerance" above . . . .
Well sarge, I was in the Air Force, not the Army. I was an officer, not enlisted. I was on flying status, not in support. And compared to the TXANG, we were the real Air Force. Although I am now happy to be back in the real world.
_______________________________________________________ I would like to hear one liberal, just one, fess up and say (out loud, that is) "Hmmn, if these reports from reliable sources are true about Russian assistance to Iraq before the War regarding relocation of massive amounts of hidden weapons, then there's a very good chance that WMD was included within it. It's really sorta hard now to think there weren't any." _______________________________________________________
Ok I bite, I'm a centrist, voting Kerry, but I bite.
Hmm.. where to start...
Yes, if these "reliable sources" (way to use evidence btw) are correct, then yes, Russia MAY have stored Iraq's WMD's (which would have been from pre-1991). The question is, why? Explain to me the benefit in the transaction for the Russians (since Iraq couldn't even pay them the money they owed Russia) and perhaps I will understand better your argument. I live by a funny little credo: If someone is going to do something really bad, there's normally a really big upside to it. I do not doubt that there could be an upside, I just don't see it. So please explain.
While your at it, if we want to go on conspiracy tangents, also explain to me why Bush let 3000 of his own people die on 9/11? Because frankly, not only is there much more proof of this, but there is actual motive and benefit derived from it. Now this does not mean that its true, however, it is much more plausible than your scenario.. So since I answered your question, how about you tell me if it's plausible that the war on terror is a scam cooked up by the christian right in order to force an agenda of racism and genocide (not to mention greed) so that they can insure that their backward ass "god" will let them into heaven? Because i'll tell you what, you don't need "reliable sources" to prove that, People who believe this (and important ones at that) will tell you by name who they are, and there are many. _______________________________________________________ It would also be nice to hear one of the blessed left bank inteligentsia come out and say "Based on what we know so far about the U.N. Oil for Food Scandal, it is doubtful that any of the "important" countries would have ever supported the U.S. Governments lead. Turns out it was pure and simple greed (as well as attemtped ass

Bush's War for Reelection
James Moore, Chap. 10, p. 203-204
"The day that George W. Bush got word he had been suspended as a pilot in the Texas Air National Guard , August 15, 1972, Richard Cunnare of Alabama was in a helicopter falling from the sky. The commander of the AH-1G Cobra attack aircraft, Chuck Dean, was apparently dead from a bullet to the head, and Cunnare saw the jungle floor in Vietnam rising toward the helicopter...
...while Thomas Boyd and Howard Fraley dragged a screaming Richard Cunnare through the jungle that morning of August 15, 1972, each of them desperately hoping to live, the young man who was to become president of the United States of America was continuing to ignore direct orders to report for duty to the National Guard."

I do not write the headlines for my columns. Someone else does. But if I were to write the headline for this one it would be, "Impeach George Bush."
Of course, I realize there's no chance Congress would impeach the president at this point or under almost any circumstance. It somehow reserves its outrage for lying about sex under oath and not, as now seems clear, the making of war under false pretenses.
Say what you will about Bill Clinton, no one died in the White House pantry.
advertisement
The same cannot be said in the larger sense about George W. Bush. Well over 1,000 Americans and countless more Iraqis have died because the president insisted on going to war. I know I should grieve the Iraqi dead as much as I do American ones, but I simply don't. It is the Americans - those names I read almost every day, the hometowns, the lives I conjure up for them, the hideous moments of death - who would be a part of every one of my articles of impeachment. I would read every name from the well of the House.
I do not hold Bush accountable for believing Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. I have talked with senior administration officials who opposed the war and they, too, thought Saddam had chemical and biological weapons - but not nuclear ones. By the time Bush had firmly decided to go to war, all in Washington knew Saddam's nuclear weapons program consisted of a wish. Even Vice President Dick Cheney had to know that, but the truth does not matter to him. In a long career as a Cold Warrior, he morphed into the enemy: the end justifies the means. In his forthcoming book on the Crusades, Fighting for Christendom, Christopher Tyerman of Oxford University argues that, "There existed no strategic or material interest for the knights of the west" to invade the Muslim east and try to wrest Jerusalem from Islam. "Consequently, the Christian wars of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in the Near East provide startling testimony to the power of ideas."
I cite this book - as indeed I am reading it - for a reason. You will remember that early on Bush referred to the war against terrorism as a "crusade." The word, though, was too freighted with Christian-Muslim conflict and Bush quickly backed down.
But, really, he was speaking the truth. Just as the original Crusades were a form of mass madness, so was this one when it was extended to Iraq. It came, as did the original one, out of the bonnet of a leader: Bush this time, Pope Urban II in 1095 - and it swept everything before it. Congress lent its approval and so, significantly, did the media (myself included).
The failure of leadership was across the board. The events of 9/11 were as emotionally wrenching to us as had been the Muslim capture of Jerusalem to medieval Christians.
My peripatetic colleague Dana Milbank recently reported on a poll showing that 72 percent of Bush's supporters believe that Iraq did in fact possess WMD and that 75 percent believed that Saddam gave al-Qaida "substantial support." These beliefs are false, in contradiction of the facts, and even Bush, when pressed, has admitted that.
But these beliefs did not arise out of nowhere. They are a direct consequence of the administration's repeated lies - lies of commission, such as Cheney's statements, and lies of omission, the appalling failure to correct wrongly held views.
Not since the Spanish-American War has the United States gone off to war so casually, so half-cocked and so ineptly. The sinking of the Maine, the casus belli for that dustup, has been replaced by WMD, and the Hearst and Pulitzer presses are now talk radio and Fox News Channel. Everything has changed. Nothing has changed. Still, though, we mourn the dead, look away from the wounded and maimed, and wonder what it was all about. We embarked, truly and regrettably, on a crusade.
Still, from Bush comes not a bleep of regret, not to mention apology. It is all "steady as she goes" - although we have lost our bearings and we no longer know our destination. (Don't tell me it's a democratic Middle East.) If the man were commanding a ship, he would be relieved of command. If he were the CEO of some big company, the board would offer him a golden parachute - and force him to jump.
But in government, it's the people who make those decisions. We get our chance on Tuesday.
Impeach Bush.

Household Survey Sees 100,000 Iraqi Deaths
Thu Oct 28, 1:13 PM ET
By EMMA ROSS, AP Medical Writer
LONDON - A survey of deaths in Iraqi households estimates that as many as 100,000 more people may have died throughout the country in the 18 months after the U.S. invasion than would be expected based on the death rate before the war.
There is no official figure for the number of Iraqis killed since the conflict began, but some non-governmental estimates range from 10,000 to 30,000. As of Wednesday, 1,081 U.S. servicemen had been killed, according to the U.S. Defense Department.
The scientists who wrote the report concede that the data they based their projections on were of "limited precision," because the quality of the information depends on the accuracy of the household interviews used for the study. The interviewers were Iraqi, most of them doctors.
Designed and conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad, the study is being published Thursday on the Web site of The Lancet medical journal.
The survey indicated violence accounted for most of the extra deaths seen since the invasion, and air strikes from coalition forces caused most of the violent deaths, the researchers wrote in the British-based journal.
"Most individuals reportedly killed by coalition forces were women and children," they said.
The report was released just days before the U.S. presidential election, and the lead researcher said he wanted it that way. The Lancet routinely publishes papers on the Web before they appear in print, particularly if it considers the findings of urgent public health interest.
Those reports then appear later in the print issue of the journal. The journal's spokesmen said they were uncertain which print issue the Iraqi report would appear in and said it was too late to make Friday's issue, and possibly too late for the Nov. 5 edition.
Les Roberts, the lead researcher from Johns Hopkins, said the article's timing was up to him.
"I emailed it in on Sept. 30 under the condition that it came out before the election," Roberts told The Asocciated Press. "My motive in doing that was not to skew the election. My motive was that if this came out during the campaign, both candidates would be forced to pledge to protect civilian lives in Iraq (news - web sites).
"I was opposed to the war and I still think that the war was a bad idea, but I think that our science has transcended our perspectives," Roberts said. "As an American, I am really, really sorry to be reporting this."
Richard Peto, an expert on study methods who was not involved with the research, said the approach the scientists took is a reasonable one to investigate the Iraq death toll.
However, it's possible that they may have zoned in on hotspots that might not be representative of the death toll across Iraq, said Peto, a professor of medical statistics at Oxford University in England.
To conduct the survey, investigators visited 33 neighborhoods spread evenly across the country in September, randomly selecting clusters of 30 households to sample. Of the 988 households visited, 808, consisting of 7,868 people, agreed to participate in the survey. At each one they asked how many people lived in the home and how many births and deaths there had been since January 2002.
The scientists then compared death rates in the 15 months before the invasion with those that occurred during the 18 months after the attack and adjusted those numbers to account for the different time periods.
Even though the sample size appears small, this type of survey is considered accurate and acceptable by scientists and was used to calculate war deaths in Kosovo in the late 1990s.
The investigators worked in teams of three. Five of the six Iraqi interviewers were doctors and all six were fluent in English and Arabic.
In the households reporting deaths, the person who died had to be living there at the time of the death and for more than two months before to be counted. In an attempt at firmer confirmation, the interviewers asked for death certificates in 78 households and were provided them 63 times.
There were 46 deaths in the surveyed households before the war. After the invasion, there were 142 deaths. That is an increase from 5 deaths per 1,000 people per year to 12.3 per 1,000 people per year — more than double.
However, more than a third of the post-invasion deaths were reported in one cluster of households in the city Falluja, where fighting has been most intense recently. Because the fighting was so severe there, the numbers from that location may have exaggerated the overall picture.
When the researchers recalculated the effect of the war without the statistics from Falluja, the deaths end up at 7.9 per 1,000 people per year — still 1.5 times higher than before the war.
Even with Falluja factored out, the survey "indicates that the death toll associated with the invasion and occupation of Iraq is more likely than not about 100,000 people, and may be much higher," the report said.
The most common causes of death before the invasion of Iraq were heart attacks, strokes and other chronic diseases. However, after the invasion, violence was recorded as the primary cause of death and was mainly attributed to coalition forces — with about 95 percent of those deaths caused by bombs or fire from helicopter gunships.
Violent deaths — defined as those brought about by the intentional act of others — were reported in 15 of the 33 clusters. The chances of a violent death were 58 times higher after the invasion than before it, the researchers said.
Twelve of the 73 violent deaths were not attributed to coalition forces. The researchers said 28 children were killed by coalition forces in the survey households. Infant mortality rose from 29 deaths per 1,000 live births before the war to 57 deaths per 1,000 afterward.
The researchers estimated the nationwide death toll due to the conflict by multiplying the difference between the two death rates by the estimated population of Iraq — 24.4 million at the start of the war. The result was then multiplied by 18 months, the average period between the invasion and the survey interviews.
"We estimate that there were 98,000 extra deaths during the postwar period in the 97 percent of Iraq represented by all the clusters except Falluja," the researchers said in the journal.
"This isn't about individual soldiers doing bad things. This appears to be a problem with the approach to occupation in Iraq," Roberts said.
The researchers called for further confirmation by an independent body such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, or the World Health Organization (news - web sites).
The study was funded by the Center for International Emergency Disaster and Refugee Studies at Johns Hopkins University and by the Small Arms Survey in Geneva, Switzerland, a research project based at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva.

Wow, what a pack of idiots here. All these comments remind me of a nursery with all the whining. WAHHH Bush is a bad man. WAHHH Bush is a liar. WAHHHH Bush is a daddy's boy.
Tell you what peeps. I am personally a third generation family business owner with about 500 employees' livelihoods on the line. When I hear crap like "he's a daddy's boy" or "he only has his position because of his daddy", it makes me want to puke at the envy. Let me fill you in on a little something here out of experience. Following in a family member's footsteps is a tough act to follow. It makes you work twice as hard to fill those shoes. Although I've seen some people in my position abuse their situations or lazily stroll through the motions. But watching W, I can tell he is definitely NOT lazy or abusing any nepotism.
Love him or hate him, Bush walks the walk. Yeah he partied back in his day, and like all of us, made some poor decisions here and there. But when it comes to the presidency and protecting the people that live and breath freedom in this country, Bush is the man that will make the tough decisions. Not Kerry. Kerry is an anti-war protestor that somehow crept through a miserable senate history into running for President. One of my ex-Navy friends says the military has a name for people like Kerry; "ticket punchers". He was in Vietnam long enough to get that ticket punched to get him to the next ticket that will get him closer to his misguided John F. Kennedy complex.
It is your right to hate Bush. Don't vote for him if you don't like him. But for God's sake, voting for Kerry is basically a vote to piss on our entire military and send a message of a weak America for not finishing Iraq off because the entire media and a flip flopping bufoon tell you so.
Leadership is not a popularity contest. I can give you a hundred examples of employees who would "run things better if I was in control", but cannot give you the first idea of what they would do to make things "better". Sure Clinton was popular, but he wasn't a very good leader. He benefitted from an economical direction set forth by Reagan, then boosted by the "dot com" balloon. He "created jobs", too bad they were mostly government funded jobs like police and other cival servant jobs that were initially funded federally, but then killed states after they had to take over the salaries. He set a poor ethical example. He sat on his ass as terrorists attacked several embassies and other targets. And let's not forget, he was IMPEACHED!
So for all you whiners out there. Let the grown ups figure the big stuff out, so you can move on to your next childish crusade.

Kerry doesn't stand for anything? And you vote? Go get yourself informed and then go to the polls. You just proved how independent you truly are by stating that you haven't looked any deeper than the campaign press, i.e., you let others decide for you. The problem with Kerry is there is a bit too much depth, which is quite admirable in a leader by the way, and you actually have to read to find out about him. Why not check out what he and Edwards have planned before stating BC04 talking points or the media that lets itself be led around by the nose by GOP scare tactics? Whether they can accomplish it or not, is another matter given extrinsic factors and the way Congress decides to work...or not if still run by the simpletons currently in charge there. However, I'll take their program over BC04 because the latter have laid out nothing but more governing by secret.

YaMon, Bush walks the walk? Which one is that? He's not half the man his father was and his father wasn't much. As I have stated at my blog, a quote from Chekhov, "Any idiot can handle a crisis, it's day to day living that wears you out." He handled the crisis of 9/11 well, as any idiot would, but he was a piss-ant little do-nothing before 9/11 and then abused the goodwill of the American people to push the country in a direction it didn't necessarily want to go. As Shakespeare said (I'm paraphrasing), it's good to have a giant's strength but tyranny to abuse it. Bush doesn't have the intellectual capacity to govern effectively so he uses that last refuge of a scoundrel: patriotism. Love of country is a good thing if the country is worth loving but being blinded by being buried in the flag is idiocy.

Come on, this has been a long, very long, campaign period. If a voter still needs to do independent research to discover Kerry, then he is simply a bad candidate. If he can't come across in English to his own people, how will he convince the coerced and bribed to stay in the coalition?
It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so negative, grim and snooty/condescending. Ultimately, that's the main reason he is going to lose. The more positive candidate always wins...and if he hasn't learned that simple truth of U.S. national elections, he doesn't deserve the brass ring.

The latest talk radio and TV theme must be that anyone who votes against Bush hates him.
True, many people in the world hate Bush, and for good reason. But most Americans can see how his administration has harmed our country, and the people who live here. There have been virtually no positive outcomes from anything the Bush admistration has done. At least not for the average American.
Bush is weak, he always has been.
Kerry will be a great President; partially becuase he is going to have to extricate us from Iraq and bring the budget under control. It will not be easy. The alternative is a man with no plan, Bush, who has a history of failure. Both as President, and throughout his life. Bush, as presented in public, is just a pasteboard mask.
Bush must go.

Bruce Charles, Thanks for confirmation that the 30 years of whining from the right about a liberal media is complete tripe. If the press were so liberal-leaning, you would know more about Kerry's program. And, if you'd paid attention in the debates you'd have found that Kerry actually did lay out some substantive talk while Mr. Positive W Bush did little but trot out well-worn lines in attacking Kerry. When Kerry attacks Bush, it gets reported and then 'balanced.' When Kerry lays out policy, it doesn't make the news because it is too dry and doesn't sell papers or ad time on the air. Tells me plenty about the electorate and the press that people say they don't know Kerry.

There was a time when the president had class -- he was a respected man. He had to classy because he was representing our Nation. But, no need for that now I guess. Seems like most of his supporters are okay with a complete idiot as president.Y'know, I really hate bringing this up, but after Bush's predecessor had an affair in the Oval Office, are you actually filing that under "classy" while suddenly being so offended by Bush jokingly flipping off his colleagues? Can it with the phoney outrage already.
I think this is funny, and I thank Bill and Protein for putting it together, but it certainly doesn't make me feel like Bush is more manly. Nor, does behind the scenes footage of Edwards fixing his hair doesn't make him less manly. This is silly bathroom humor at best.What's wrong with that?

I've always heard about this 'plan' from Kerry...but never heard much about the details, he always seems to shy away from those.

(Oh, and for the rebuttals, a plan to do things "better and faster" does not constitute a plan. For example, saying "I want to make more money faster" is not a plan. Saying HOW I would go about making more money faster on the other hand, IS a plan.

To all the Bush haters (and that is all you are, not Kerry supporters), try and spend less time regurgitating the same old Democratic fodder, lies, untruths, half-truths, and actually do some research. The worst part of this election has been having to listen to folks who care so little for their right to vote that they mindlessly go along with whatever is said by either party.
Spend more time looking at what is being said to determine if it is truthful or not and less time repeating it (ala Kerry and the supposed missing explosives). Both parties have avoided the truth at times, but only Kerry/Edwards and the Dems are willing to sink to new lows telling anyone who will hear them the same lies about a military draft, social security, healthcare, etc.

"I really hate bringing this up, but after Bush's predecessor had an affair in the Oval Office, are you actually filing that under "classy" while suddenly being so offended by Bush jokingly flipping off his colleagues? Can it with the phoney outrage already."
Actually, my outrage is not phony. Some people still believe that the image of the U.S. is one worth preserving. I don't exclude Clinton from classless behavior. Never said I did. I think we have been on a slippery slope for awhile. If this continues, we will eventually have Sideshow Bob running the country. I give it 3-4 more elections.
"This is silly bathroom humor at best. 'What's wrong with that?'"
Nothing wrong with bathroom humor. But, we are talking about the image of a standing president, and a potential president. If either side wins, then they look like buffoons to the rest of the world. We can't stop this sort of thing from happening, but we don't need to add to it do we? I'm opposed to this from both sides. Afterall, this is our leader. Both camps are suspect, but I believe that the Rep/Cons have been more vociferous in this type of attack. Just look at this forum -- Dems/Libs don't typically debate other users by using ad hominem attacks.

They like how John Kerry & Silky Pony are nuanced and sophisticated (prissy). It will help us get back in the door with France (hopefully - fingers crossed!) :)
#2 They like how "Presidential" John Kerry looks windsurfing or walking from the woods with actors carrying dead 'waterfowl' while wearing camoflauge. The NRA vote is ours, baby. Most polls also show that they enjoy Kerry wearing full-body condoms from time to time in an effort to mix it up a lil'.
And most importantly...
#3 He will win because he has the support of thousands upon thousand of:
a. activist (socialist) judges and attorneys
b. NAACP & ACORN - crack addicted voter registration volunteers
c. dead people and oddly enough, cartoon characters voting in record numbers
You silly Republicans cannot match our evil and wicked desire to bring this country to its knees.

Bush's spontaneity and genuineness are in sharp contrast to the pompous windbag Kerry. As Jacob Weisberg said, only a natural narcissist marinating for 20 years in the Senate could end up as excruciatingly dull and pompous as Kerry.
As for IQ, experts in educational measurement have pegged Bush's IQ arount 125. His SAT scores translate to about 1280 in the current metric.
If being the son of a president makes life so easy, what excuse do the Kennedy kids offer?

And most of you would puke at the sight of the jets Bush flew back in the '70's.

A sense of humor is a prerequisite when dealing with a liberal. Otherwise you'd get so frustrated you'd go insane.
BTW, the show is based in comedy, but it IS a talk show and the situation I'm referring to was not a sketch comedy bit. Unlike the Kerry Campaign.

I don't think comedy is your forte, Josh. Better keep the day job.

Not my forte?
One sunny day in 2005, an old man approached the White House from
across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."
The Marine replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here."
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry"
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Kerry is
not President and doesn't reside here."
The man thanked him and again walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to
the very same Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."
The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man
and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to
speak to Mr. Kerry. I've told you already that Mr. Kerry is not the
President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"
The old man answered, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it!"
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow."

Reporting for DOODYKerry's plan

Yes. France. Food for oil for fraud. Funding Saddam, selling him weapons, and undermining UN sanctions. Counter-balancing US 'hyper-power'. Threatening Turkey over EU membership so it denies staging areas to the US 4th Infrantry Division.
France the largest nuclear proliferation exporter in the word today.
BTW, a correction is in order. Aventis is not going to give us anything. It is going to SELL us all the vaccine they can.

Not my forte part 2:
John Kerry meets with the Queen of England. He asks her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there any tips you can give to me?"
"Well," says the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people."
Kerry frowns. "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen takes a sip of tea. "Oh, that's easy. You just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushes a button on her intercom. "Please send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walks into the room. "Yes, my Queen?" The Queen smiles, "Answer me this, please, Tony. Your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answers, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," says the Queen.
Kerry goes back home to ask John Edwards, his vice presidential choice the same question.
"John. Answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?"
"I'm not sure," says John Edwards. "Let me get back to you on that one." Edwards goes to his advisors and asks every one, but none can give him an answer. Finally, he ends up in the men's room and recognizes Colin Powell's shoes in the next stall. Edwards shouts, "Colin! Can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?" Colin Powell yells back, "That's easy. It's me!"
Edwards smiles, and says, "Thanks!" Then, Edwards goes back to speak with Kerry. "Say, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Colin Powell."
Kerry gets up, stomps over to John Edwards, and angrily yells into his face, "No, you idiot! It's Tony Blair!"

Wow! This sure did hit a liberal sweet spot. They hate it when they're owned with humor and skill.

Here, I'll say it for you: "Hmmn, if these reports from reliable sources are true about Russian assistance to Iraq before the War regarding relocation of massive amounts of hidden weapons, then there's a very good chance that WMD was included within it. It's really sorta hard now to think there weren't any."
I'm still voting for Kerry. These reports are a lucky thing for Bush -- lucky for him that they were finally able to dig something up before the election. But, still knowingly lied to us, didn't he? He didn't know about this when he made his case for war. The truth is, he didn't know about any WMDs -- he lied and that should register some level of disgust in you. Oddly enough, most conservatives insist that liberals are morally corrupt. Disregarding the facts, and going to war based on a lie seems kinda morally corrupt to me. I could be wrong though, who knows? I'm glad that ol' Bushie didn't know about this before, or we may have attacked Russia, Afghanistan, and Iraq all at the same time.

Yep, no question about it. The responses here clearly demonstrate what I have long observed--Most liberals are sanctimoniously self-righteous and highly selective in their moral sensitivities.
I find it hard to listen to the double standards of liberal dogma, where buzz words like "tolerance" are simply a one-way street of agreement with them.
Liberals as a whole are everything they claim to despise in others--harsh, condescending, elitist, narrow-minded, and yes, intolerant. In all truth, they deserve Kerry--the poster-child and embodiment of everything they are and for which they stand.
Did also mention that liberals have absolutely no sense of humor? Oh yea, see "tolerance" above . . . .

It's time to recall all the "Bush Lied" bumperstickers.
If a President goes with his gut feeling, is it wrong?

Well sarge, I was in the Air Force, not the Army. I was an officer, not enlisted. I was on flying status, not in support. And compared to the TXANG, we were the real Air Force. Although I am now happy to be back in the real world.
Does that work for you?

Based on the thousands of lies Bush told, why would we consider Bush anything but a liar?

I would like to hear one liberal, just one, fess up and say (out loud, that is) "Hmmn, if these reports from reliable sources are true about Russian assistance to Iraq before the War regarding relocation of massive amounts of hidden weapons, then there's a very good chance that WMD was included within it. It's really sorta hard now to think there weren't any."
_______________________________________________________
Ok I bite, I'm a centrist, voting Kerry, but I bite.
Hmm.. where to start...
Yes, if these "reliable sources" (way to use evidence btw) are correct, then yes, Russia MAY have stored Iraq's WMD's (which would have been from pre-1991).
The question is, why? Explain to me the benefit in the transaction for the Russians (since Iraq couldn't even pay them the money they owed Russia) and perhaps I will understand better your argument. I live by a funny little credo: If someone is going to do something really bad, there's normally a really big upside to it. I do not doubt that there could be an upside, I just don't see it. So please explain.
While your at it, if we want to go on conspiracy tangents, also explain to me why Bush let 3000 of his own people die on 9/11? Because frankly, not only is there much more proof of this, but there is actual motive and benefit derived from it. Now this does not mean that its true, however, it is much more plausible than your scenario.. So since I answered your question, how about you tell me if it's plausible that the war on terror is a scam cooked up by the christian right in order to force an agenda of racism and genocide (not to mention greed) so that they can insure that their backward ass "god" will let them into heaven? Because i'll tell you what, you don't need "reliable sources" to prove that, People who believe this (and important ones at that) will tell you by name who they are, and there are many.

It would also be nice to hear one of the blessed left bank inteligentsia come out and say "Based on what we know so far about the U.N. Oil for Food Scandal, it is doubtful that any of the "important" countries would have ever supported the U.S. Governments lead. Turns out it was pure and simple greed (as well as attemtped ass
