John Kerry And An Hour Of JFKrap

All right... I've just endured nearly an hour of mindless drivel, punctuated by raving idolization and cult worship from several thousand fatuous myrmidons.  Fifty-five or fifty-six minutes of self-grandizing and condescension.  It's an hour of my life I'll never get back.  Let's look at some of hte crap that was shoveled...

"We are a nation at war - a global war on terror against an enemy unlike any we have ever known before."
 
Yep, John, a war that you voted for, then voted NOT to fund.

"They say this is the best economy we've ever had."

Actually, the Republicans say (correctly) that it's the strongest economy in the last 20 years.  Those figures come from all economic indicators:  job growth, home ownership, new home starts, total employment (more jobs in the U.S. now than ever before), etc.

"We're the optimists. For us, this is a country of the future. We're the can do people."

Give me a break.  All we've heard from Dems the last year or so is how we've been lied to and mislead by the Bush Administration, our jobs are being shipped overseas, poverty is becoming rampant, the economy is terrible, Iraq is turning into another Vietnam, the whole world hates us, we are fighting terrorism alone, the Patriot Act is going to strip us of all our liberties, the Republicans want to roll back civil rights, Bush is ruining this nation's education system, we're too dependent to foreign oil, oh no - the Republicans want to drill for oil in the U.S., etc., etc., etc.....   Yeah, that sounds real optimistic all right.  Idiot.

"... on behalf of the middle class who deserve a champion..."
 
JFKerry, the WEALTHIEST man to ever  run for President, a champion of the middle class?  Who in the heck does this moron think he's kidding?  He knows NOTHING about the middle class.  Zero.  Nada. 
 
"... for the brave men and women in uniform who risk their lives every day..."

... who overwhelmingly support President Bush and the war on terror.

"And what can I say about Teresa? She has the strongest moral compass of anyone I know. She's down to earth, nurturing, courageous, wise and smart. She speaks her mind and she speaks the truth..."

Ask her again what she meant by "un-American."  Oh yeah, she never said that.  Even though whe's on tape saying it, and hundreds of people in attendance heard her say it, she didn't really say it.  She said she didn't.  She also didn't tell a reporter who asked about the comment to "Shove it!"  Just dang!

"Saying there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq doesn't make it so."

I guess you were wrong on that one too, weren't you?  But wait... I forgot, we did find several shells filled with sarin nerve gas.  Liters of it, enough to kill thousands.  Guess you've forgotten about that too, huh?  Typical.

"Saying we can fight a war on the cheap doesn't make it so."

You, JFKerry, voted against the $87 billion to support our troops.  You tried to deny the troops the funding they needed, not President Bush.

"I defended this country as a young man..."

For four months and 12 days, until you conned and "battled" your way into three purple hearts and bugged out.  (See previous entry about Kerry's fellow swift boat officers and hteoir opinions of Kerry.)

"We will add 40,000 active duty troops." 

How?  It's a volunteer army.  Where will you come up with the additional troop strength?  You've already castigated the President for calling up National Guard and Reserve troops.   So where are you gonan get them from?  Idiot.

"We will provide our troops with the newest weapons and technology to save their lives... We need a strong military."

This from a man who voted against every primary weapons system our military is using today.  By the way, in Kerry's comments about the miliatry and the war in Iraq, he sounds like he believes the military is using obsolete weaponry, with untrained and ill-prepared soldiers, being overmatched by their enemy.  Makes me wonder how someone wanting to be Commander-In-Chief can seem so uneducated about our fighting men and women and their resources.

"Strength is more than tough words."

Sometimes it's making a tough decision and doing something that not everyone agrees with, just because it's the right thing to do.  Much like Iraq.  Jerk.

"You don't value families by kicking kids out of after school programs and taking cops off our streets, so that Enron can get another tax break."

Nice, a qiuck and simple way to get some cheap applause, by mixing two disassociated issues.  By the way, the ENTIRE Enron mess took place under President Clinton's watch.  Ass.

"You don't value families if you force them to take up a collection to buy body armor for a son or daughter in the service."

Again, YOU voted against the $87 billion funding for our troops in battle.  Jerk.

"Health care is not a privilege for the wealthy, the connected, and the elected - it is a right for all Americans."

Sorry, but I think I missed the "right to health care" the last time I read the Constitution.  Will someone please show me where that's at? 

I'm sorry, I just can't go on.  It's late, and I'm sick to death of this whole issue. 

Too many people in this country are too stupid to think for themselves, to work hard for the things they need, or to take responsibility for their lives themselves. 

If you believe government should take care of you, make sure you have a job, make sure you have a doctor, and make sure you get paid a decent wage... then you're too big of an idiot to do anything but vote for Kerry. 

If you believe the government should take money away from people who work harder than you and make more money than you, and then take care of you with that  money, then you have absolutely no sense of personal pride or self-worth.

If you believe all Democrats are looking out for you, and all Republicans are trying to stick it to you, then you deserve whatever comes your way.  Keep looking to the sky.  Your Democrat leaders say it's falling, so be prepared.

Most importantly...

... if you believe there's a God above
... if you believe in the Ten Commandments
... if you believe in the Golden Rule
... if you believe that life begins at conception
... if you believe we are responsible for the choices we makein our lives
... if you believe you know what's in your best interests better than the government does
... if you believe terrorists pose a threat to this great nation

then please, please, please think long and hard before you vote for JFKerry.  Don't make a mistake you'll regret later.
