John Kerry: Piece of Shat..or Future Presidential Material

Living off your wife's inheritance somehow seems more honorable to me than what the Bush family has done to make their fortunes. That family has been involved in so much sketchy stuff it's ridiculous. Perhaps not of Marcos levels, but damn close.

Rule #1: All politicians are full of it.

I think I'll write in myself this year too: i'm full of it enough to not be a violation of rule #1, ha!

 

y'know, i think kerry's a bad candidate for president. the democrats have done a sub-optimal job of sourcing a candidate. just like every other senator and every other presidential candidate and every other president and vice president who has gone before him - john kerry is an obnoxious guy. let's be frank, you don't get that far in this system without being an *******. it can't be done.

BUT this pilot sounds like a real whiny two year old. those missions were attempts to repatriate the remains and effects of and/or trying to determine the status of service men who went MIA fighting for our country. hot and sweaty for an hour? hungry for a day? gimme a break. i think those "MIA soldiers" would gleefully trade their status for "hot soldier" or "hungry soldier" or, yes even, "hot and hungry soldier". what a twerp.

those missions to southeast asia were important to our country, valuable to geo political stability, and most relevantly, insanely crucial to the tortured families of those lost soldiers who perished there MIA.

is john kerry an ass? you bet he is! he's a privileged, rich, white, upper class snob. of course, so's GWB.

does john kerry deserve your vote? probably not - in my opinion. i won't vote for john kerry because of his stance and plans on the issues that face this country.

i'm not going to make my election decisions based on the advice of a whiny air force pilot.

doody.

 

Now thats a post I agree with

 

Bravo. With all due respect, this a STUPID THREAD 69.

Here's the article I was thinking of about Kerry's voting on defense and intelligence. Complete with bill numbers, and some choice quotes from the administration at the time. Dunno where I got the 95/5 vote.. I must've been thinking about something else.

Although I could care less about him, the GOP slandering of his voting record in this case is completely unjustified.. but how many people do you think actually check into these things? It's sad that politicians can completely tear someone down with false accusations, lies, and misquotes, simply because they know that no one will bother to check their facts. The email I got said Kerry wanted to get rid of the CIA and take away our soldiers' weapons! it must be true!

I think Kerry is a non-issue. Here come the Bushi's for another four.

 

Shat.

 

At this point I just think I'm going to write in John McCain.

 

Sadly, I'm not American, but if I could vote. I would have voted ANYONE else besides Bush. He runs with the biggest loss of many then any president in your country's history because of his stupid wars. He is running with the most absurd foreing policy and must be stopped if not wanted to be hated by many more country's then he already is. He should focus on problems in your own country instead. Homeless, starving people, an extremely more effective gun control (since the one excisting now isn't that good) and many other things that could be solved with all the money he uses to kill people with.

 

Sounds like the man of my dreams...

 

I hold threads that try to provoke political discourse to a higher standard.

I know my history dude. So you say, because you saved us before, you are not entitled to do anything you want (US) and we cannot complain because we are so small. That's exactly why I am saying these, because of that arrogance you are proving now. I really can't stand people who think they are better than others because they are richer and bigger. It's disgusting.

I do not envy the US of its richness and greatness, that some bull****. You don't know me, so you are in no position to tell me how I feel towards the US. This has something to do with me not supporting war. I will not EVER support a war, and your, imho, ignorant president has already started two in 4 years. I cannot accept such aggresivity. But as I said, I don't live in US. You speak of freedom of speech and such greatness of the US. But really? When someone gives critism of your country's presiden (me) I get hammered with things done 50 years ago, and uses that as an excuse. Now he has come forward to ban gay marriages? Bush says he want's to give more rights to the middle east country's, but takes rights away from his own population in form of a proposal to ban gay marriages.

Bush and Blair has also been nomineed to the Nobel Peace Price. Fair enough, they have made the earth a safer place, no doubt. BUT with many innocent lives lost, which had nothing to do with it. In my oponion it shouldn't be possible to win the prize if you have started a war as an method to make peace. That's not right.

But not all bad things are to be said. I love your country, and I someday would like to live there. A lof of opportunities, and greatness. But your current administration, I wouldn't pay 2 cents to shake Bush's hands. Can't stand that man.

Damn, that was quite a bit

 

Like Denmark has ever mattered in anything.

 

Who said they did? - But because we are small, doesn't mean we should be ignored and not heard. Like all other small countries. There are a few. Again, please refrain from that arrogance. You are NOT better than me, regardless what you think.

 

KDS is from Canada, not the US.

In Europe they just hate Bush because their news and politicos want to assert something. Ironically, Germany is the real breeding ground for young Islamic terrorists, with radical mosques that pick up Middle Eastern college students who are alienated by the German racism against Turks, Greeks, and Middle Easterners in general. Even the national gov't magazine, "Deutschland" is full of articles by professors analyzing the social problems Germany is having with the rift between immigrants and native Germans.

Here's a forward I got from a professor who is a comrade-in-conservative-arms. It's an internet forward, so take it with a grain of salt, but revealing nonetheless:

____________________________________
Some claim President Bush shouldn't have started this war. They
complain about his prosecution of it. One liberal recently claimed Bush was the worst president in U.S. history.

Let's clear up one point: We didn't start the war on terror. Try to remember, it was started by terrorists on 9/11.

Let's look at the "worst" president and mismanagement claims.

FDR led us into World War II. Germany never attacked us: Japan did.
From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost, an average of 112,500 per year.

Truman finished that war and started one in Korea, North Korea never
attacked us. From 1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost, an average of
18,333 per year.

John F. Kennedy started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never
attacked us. Johnson turned Vietnam into a quagmire. From 1965-1975, 58,000 lives were lost, an average of 5,800 per year.

Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent, Bosnia
never attacked us. He was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three
times by Sudan and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple
occasions.

In the two years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush has
liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled al-Qaida, put nuclear
inspectors in Lybia, Iran and North Korea without firing a shot, and
captured a terrorist who slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. We have
lost 600 soldiers, an average of 300 a year. Bush did all this abroad while not allowing another terrorist attack at home.

Worst president in history? Come on!

***********************************

The above appeared in a Durham, NC newspaper

 

Because of Bush's quick retreatment in Iran, the Taleban is rising in Iran again. Bush also did all that without UN consent as you used in another example.

Oh, and I do not think Bush is the worst President in history.

 

England played just as big a part of the liberation as the US, remember that.

 

Bush never went into Iran........yet.

I think you have your countries confused.

As for Denmark......Jonas......your opinion and those of your countrymen and others in the EEC (some of our friends in the UK excepted of course) will start to have merit on our side of the pond when and if you move here.

Lead...follow...or get out of the way...it's easy to be a critical leftist thinker when you are safe on your frigid snow covered windswept rock.....Denmark has never accounted for anything yet.....nor for that matter has the UN.....if my arrogance disturbs you I have made my point.

No one in the world has the right to tell me or any country what they can and cannot do if they have been attacked and must defend themselves. No one.....anyways...to stay on topic here.....Kerry is "atypical" of what in general is wrong with the vast majority of Europe and other parts of the world today..."Kanaduh" included.

GWB in 2004 !!!

 

And this is connected to Iraq somehow? Come on! Very few people in the world disagree with rooting out the taliban and going after Osama. In other words, they support the "war on terror". But Iraq has nothing to do with that!

Despite being a staunch republican, and one who adheres strongly to the "better the devil you know..." docterine, Bush will NOT get my vote this year.

Better to have a regular preppy jerk in the White House than a preppy jerk that is hell bent on starting biblical armeggedon while looting the country's future revenues.

GWB is a puppet- who pulls the strings? Me thinks www.thecarlylegroup.com

whee... isn't democracy fun?
