The right wing noise machine has kicked into high gear over Kerry's mangled statement. Must mean they want us not to notice something else that is going on.
Just this week, your GOP in action:
1. George Allen campaign workers rough up a man who approached the Senator to ask if he spit on his first wife. Allen has sealed the divorce records and refused to release them. Rumors abound about what he is hiding.
2. Marilyn Musgrave a Colorado Congresswoman (particularly outspoken in the Terri Shaivo case), workers from her campaign rough up a reporter trying to ask tough questions of the Conrgresswoman.
3. Allegations of spousal abuse come out about NY GOP Congressman John Sweeney.
4. Wyoming Congresswoman Cubin threatens to slap a quadrapalegic Libertarian opponent post-debate.
5. A GOP congressman running for Governor of Nevada is charged with attempted sexual assault.
That's just this week.
November 7, you can vote for rubber stamp Republicans or you can vote for change.
Oh yeah, the GOP wasn't just making the police blotters either.
USA Today
Now the government is targeting unmarried adults up to age 29 as part of its abstinence-only programs, which include millions of dollars in federal money that will be available to the states under revised federal grant guidelines for 2007.
So all you unmarried Republicans that are in your twenties, don't even think of having sex.
And all of this is every bit as interesting and relevant to the running of this country as the Kerry misstatement.
Yay politics.
Sorry, a former Presidential candidate knocking the Armed Forces in Iraq takes the cake. Nothing is going to wipe that off the headlines save President Bush with a dead girl or live boy.
The Democrats need to make Kerry a pariah, like fast.
And it's all over-shadowed by the fact that Nancy Pelosi will name an impeached (by a Democratic House) and convicted (by a Democratic Senate) Alcee Hastings to head the House Intelligence Committee.
And, really, it's not even that...it's the unmitigated gall of the Democrats to thumb their noses at the public while they do these things. If the Democrats can just get the number of people not paying taxes over 50%, and they're almost there, they can stay in office in perpetuity and just run this country into the ground. God knows they got off to a good start under Lyndon Johnson and Jimmy Carter.
"No republic has long outlived the discovery by a majority of its people that they could vote themselves largesse from the public treasury." --Alexander Tytler.
If the Democrats are able to qualify more than 50% of the population for some en lement program or another while, at the same time, soaking the rich to pay for these programs, I believe Mr. Tytler's words will ring very, very prophetic.
Those bas s!!!
That's what I say.
But those great treasures of en lement are being pissed away by one man and his dream, and oh, 105 boys and girls in boxes and another 7000+ wounded were also not allowed to share.
Maybe Tytler wasn't aware of the future Bush factor.
Except he wasn't knocking the armed forces. Its all about context and it was in the context of knocking Bush.
Poor choice of words, but if the Democrats come out and sell him out, it just makes the story validated for the Republicans. The Democrats would be extremely foolish to do that. That very well means they may, but I think its a really really poor action to take.
Damn the rest of the country wanting to partake in the same actions as the top friends of the Republican! Thats so, Republican of them!
You're right, it's all about context and, in the context of his previous statements and voting record on the U. S. Military, it's a hard sell that his comments were directed at President Bush (A Yale and Harvard grad) and not the troops he's abandon so many times in the past.
What are you talking about?
Surely you're familliar with the Republican tradition of using the governmentin your favor regardless of the consequences. I thought that was the main reason you liked Bush!
at you trying to paint Bush as anything but an idiot. Its very easy to see where the context was. It was in making fun of Bush.
"nukyular"
I really don't buy that it was a Bush bashing joke gone awry. I think it was Kerry trying to once again use the Democrat "backdoor draft" scare tactic. If he had meant to reference Bush, he would have corrected himself.
I'm sure he didn't intend for it to be an insult to the Military, but it was symptomatic of Democrats' insistance on painting troops as unsuspecting victims.
Alrighty, whatever you say. That would explain why many Democrats are asking him to apologize and why his hometown Boston Globe shelacked him in their editorial this morning.
You do realize, of course, that President Bush is the first MBA to hold that office and, it's a Harvard MBA no less. I'm sure that has nothing to do with our currently booming economy.
I still haven't quite figured out how Democrats square their characterization of President Bush as hapless bumbler and omniscient fountainhead; spying everywhre and knowing nothing.
I'm sorry, you're still not making any sense. But, I'm used to that.
Bush = hapless bumbler who knows nothingI still haven't quite figured out how Democrats square their characterization of President Bush as hapless bumbler and omniscient fountainhead; spying everywhre and knowing nothing.
Cheney and Rummy = omniscient fountainhead spying everywhere
Got it. But, what about Rove?
Hey! Something you and I can agree about. I'm also quite sure that Bush having a Harvard MBA has nothing to do with the state of the nation's economy.
Absolutely sure, in fact.
It's so nice to find common ground.
Well, Kum-bah-yah!
But, gee, I wonder why unemployment is at such low levels and why there is such a huge cash flow in the private sector...couldn't be that infusion of billions for capital, wages, and ventures realized by the tax cuts. Nah...of course not.
If I were republican, I'd ride this horse till it colapsed.
THink about it.
Right now, in Iraq, a guy that was on our hit list is calling the shots. He is making us stand down and back off.
Imagine that . Our kids are still dying, still being chopped up with bombs and bullets, still pissing our money away, and know were taking orders from a guy who has sent our kids home in boxes.
This is some ing strategy.
Because they are cowards afraid of the right wing noise machine.
Harvard MBA. Hmmmm, wonder how he got in there? His MBA has Jack Squat to do with the economy. The uber wealthy masters of the Reps are having boom time these days.
Cheney and Rove pull the strings. Bush gotta a little independent with the Meirs nomination but was soon reigned back in.
Great quote. So tell me, how thick, tinted, and intricate must the filters be on your partisan lenses to not see how this directly appllies to this Republican controlled Congress for the past 6 years?
EDIT Followup question: How is a Democratic House supposed to increase spending with Bush in the White House? Don't tell me he's too dumb to realize he has the power to veto, cause he's already used it once.
