Decrepit Old Fool

Exactly why I think he should have been prosecuted and drummed out of public life.  MJK didn’t consent to drown in his sunken car.  What a cost to liberalism, and to the nation, protecting such a piece of garbage as him!

Housecleaning is important, or the place begins to stink.

I’m just sayin’ it could happen…

That was most certainly a witty and great line. 

James, it doesn’t make sense to hate a whole group just because of one person.  That leads to a very narrow minded view of the world.  I hope you have a better argument than that…

I classified your reaction to Liberals in general as hate because I have never heard you say anything decent about a single one.  If you’re the middle of the road person you say you are, which I would buy into with some respect, then prove it.  Who was the last democrat you voted for?

I for instance consider myself a slightly left leaning Libertarian.  But that classification in itself is difficult to pin down since I have a lot of socialistic ideas as well.  I have actually voted for republicans and have never just voted for those sitting on the left.  I truly try to find out who the politicians are and make informed decisions.  And I would have voted for John McCain instead of Gore if McCain one the primaries against Bush back in 2000.  He should of but Rove pretty much f***ed McCain with the “Push-polling”.

Although, now looking back, I wish I would have been more informed about Gore because we could really use a man that understands science in the government.  The Governor of Illinois, you better believe I voted for Jim Ryan (Republican), four years ago.  Blagoivich (Democrat, and Not sure how to spell his name, but didn’t care enough to look it up) is probably one of the worst things to happen to this state since, well I am too young to remember a worse Governor.  And this Illinois election I plan to vote Republican in hopes of getting that moron out of office.

When it came to our current Governor winning last election, he only one cause two kinds of people voted for him: 1. those voting for the Democrats, because they are a Democrat 2. those voting because George Ryan caused all kinds of scandals and they thought that Jim Ryan was somehow related.  It is a shame that number 2 was as powerful a reason that it was.

Anyways, I consider myself I true middle of the road.  I weigh in both candidates and choose accordingly.  I could care less if each candidate had no party affiliation, as long as they are the best for the job, then they get my vote.

What Kerry said: “Attacking Patrick Murphy for his service is a little bit like Jessica Simpson attacking Albert Einstein’s IQ,” the Massachusetts Democrat proclaimed Thursday at a chilly outdoor rally at Bucks County Community College.

  “A lot of these people in the GOP, the Republican Party — they think somehow that they served because they played with GI dolls when they were little,” Kerry said. “The guys who really served understand what it means, and we’ve had enough of these lies.”

Also he said this: Here’s the real deal — yesterday, John Kerry made a tough and starkly honest joke about Bush, and admittedly it came out a little mangled. I was standing in the room and it was clear where Kerry was going with his statement — the importance of a great education because if you don’t you’ll be stuck in the war in Iraq — Bush’s stupid war that we all know is based on lies.

I see nothing wrong with this at all and would tend to agree with him.

Kerry response to attacks on his commnets: “If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the president who got us stuck there, they’re crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.

  I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq. It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.

  The people who owe our troops an apology are George W. Bush and Dick Cheney who misled America into war and have given us a Katrina foreign policy that has betrayed our ideals, killed and maimed our soldiers, and widened the terrorist threat instead of defeating it. These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.

  Bottom line, these Republicans want to debate straw men because they’re afraid to debate real men. And this time it won’t work because we’re going to stay in their face with the truth and deny them even a sliver of light for their distortions. No Democrat will be bullied by an administration that has a cut and run policy in Afghanistan and a stand still and lose strategy in Iraq.”

Kerry’s statement was about Bush, but if you read it the other way… DOF does a great job of summing it up.
