This is better than the WB...

Very astute, Elvis - there was no fact in that statement. But it is full of emotion. An emotion of hilarity and comical wonderment at your thought processes. If nothing else, you are entertaining. I even share some of your thoughts and posts with my fellow employees. They get quite a laugh out of your "wisdom," too, but don't let all that go to your head.

Ever consider taking your act on the road?

"I even share some of your thoughts and posts with my fellow employees."

It's quite common for someone who has little confidence in his thoughts or opinions to enlist the help of others to support his position for comfort. Rather than stand up an defend his position. But we know with you GH that only happpens every 20 posts or so. All the blather inbetween is just a stall tactic so you can do a goggle search for your next " Bush lied and people died" type tag line.

You mean like posting Zell Miller's opinion?

Sorry.......but that one was just HANGING over the plate.

Trust me Scowak makes this stuff up as he goes along. I repeat on more time for those( that one person that is a little s-l-o-w).Kerry said he would increase the military by 40,000, but would send no more troops to Iraq.Listen to the speech, buy a clue, but stop taking guesses about these thing and posting them like we are the type of tripe that would not know enough to have our own opinon. You know, clarity to see, analysize and interpret before running off at the mouth.

"Kerry said he would increase the military by 40,000, but would send no more troops to Iraq" He said that at the convention. But before the convention and for the last 6 months he has manitained troop strength was too low and would send more troops into Iraq. I think he was playing up to MCCain at the time. The problem with Kerry is he moves his poistion from day to day.

Kerry Calls for More Troops to Bolster U.S. Military (Update1)
May 28 (Bloomberg) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry called for increasing the U.S. military by 40,000 troops, probably for a decade, in order ``to match its new missions'' in the war on terror and homeland security.
The added troops would help ``relieve over-extended'' National Guard and reservists in Iraq and Afghanistan, Kerry spokesman David Wade said. Half of the additional 40,000 troops would be used as military police and for civil affairs, tasks now mainly carried out by reservists; the other 20,000 would be combat troops. The U.S. now has about 138,000 troops in Iraq.

I suppose you could see it both ways depending on the slant of sources. But at the time the contention was that Kerry was calling for adding troops in Iraq. It was at the same time Mccain was saying it. If you read the later articles it appears that the number would stay the same because of rotations. It hard to decipher because Kerry maintained months earlier that he would reduce US troops in Iraq and out lined several plans to do so.


KUCINICH CATCHES KERRY IN TROOP TRAP

Kerry Denies Calling For 40,000 More Troops. KUCINICH: “You said you want to send 40,000 more troops [to Iraq].” KERRY: “I have never said that.” KUCINICH: “You never said you wanted to bring 40,000 more troops ever?” KERRY: “No …” (CNN/Los Angeles Times, Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Los Angeles, CA, 2/26/04)

But Kerry Did Call For 40,000 More Troops To Meet Commitments In Iraq And Around World. “Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said Tuesday he would expand the U.S. military within his first 100 days as president, contending 40,000 more troops are needed to meet America's responsibilities around the world. Kerry told supporters at Drake University that the occupation of Iraq as well as the global war against terrorism require more troops.” (Mike Wilson, “Kerry Would Expand Military As President,” The Associated Press, 12/17/03)

------------------------------------------------------------

That's the great thing about John "Pierre" Kerry--if you don't like his position on a particular issue, just wait a few days and if it becomes politically advantageous he'll change it.

"If the press misrepresented what Kerry's plan was, I don't think you can tag Kerry with a flip-flop. The press release is only ambigous to you.

Kerry has a clear vision of what he wants to accomplish. That involves takiing pressure OFF the troops and reservists already serving. I would say that is called "supporting the troops" and taking care of their needs."


AM,

I do not think the press or anyone including any of the Dems or repubs misrepresented what Kerry said. Kerry said it and only clarified his position over time to the point where it is today. He has yet to show how he will pay for it .

Am,

You need to check that because he has since changed his mind again. As late as Monday when asked he no specific plan to pay for the proposal or his health care proposal etc. He will be challenged more an more on it in the next 90 days.

Making campaign promises is easy when you have to be elected to be held accountable for them. Flippers record is very clear he has provided no ground breaking or even exciting changes to the senate or to the American people as a senator.

Women and Democrats who tend towards emotion like his kind of talk. But then again they do not want to be held accountable so why should they hold Kerry accountable?

But he has a plan!

Your hero is a real ZERO

BOOK CLAIMS KERRY WAR 'FABRICATIONS'

**Exclusive**

A veterans group seeking to deeply discredit Democrat John Kerry's military service will charge in the new bombshell book UNFIT FOR COMMAND:


Two of John Kerry's three Purple Heart decorations resulted from self-inflicted wounds, not suffered under enemy fire.


All three of Kerry's Purple Hearts were for minor injuries, not requiring a single hour of hospitalization.


A "fanny wound" was the highlight of Kerry's much touted "no man left behind" Bronze Star.


Kerry turned the tragic death of a father and small child in a Vietnamese fishing boat into an act of "heroism" by filing a false report on the incident.


Kerry entered an abandoned Vietnamese village and slaughtered the domestic animals owned by the civilians and burned down their homes with his Zippo lighter.


Kerry's reckless behavior convinced his colleagues that he had to go -- becoming the only Swift Boat veteran to serve only four months.

The Kerry campaign is planning to vigorously counter the charges and will accuse the veteran's groups of being well-financed by a top Bush donor from Texas, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

"They hired a goddamn private investigator to dig up trash!" charged a top Kerry adviser traveling with the senator late Tuesday. "This is pay for play, and the dirtiest of all dirty tricks ever played on a candidate for the presidency. How low can they go?"

Kerry supporters are comparing the effort by the veterans to the Arkansas State troopers tell-all against Bill Clinton.

UNFIT FOR COMMAND will not be released until August 15.

The names. The details. All on the record.

Developing..

Q: Daddy, why is John Kerry a better candidate for President?
A: Lots of reasons, honey.
Q: Can you name one?
A: He's got a different plan for handling the war on
terrorism.
Q: What plan is that?
A: Hmmmm... well, I don't know the details, yet. He's keeping it a secret, because he knows that Americans are too stupid to understand. All we need to know is that it's different and Kerry is better.

Q: Did he support invading Iraq?
A: Well, yes. He did vote for it.
Q: Why did he vote for Iraq?
A: Honey, it was very popular to do so. Polls showed that a huge majority of Americans were in favor of getting rid of Saddam.

Q: He must have supported our troops. Did he vote to increase necessary funding?
A: No, he didn't.
Q: Why was he in favor of sending our troops to combat but not funding them properly?
A: Two reasons. First, he truly didn't want them to succeed. If they were funded and equipped, then the war would be a greater success. Polls showed that if the war was successful, then President Bush would be more popular.
Q: What's the second reason?
A: Because liberals only want to spend tax money to purchase votes.

Q: Daddy, whats a poll?
A: A poll is something great leaders like Kerry use to make decisions.
Q: Why can't Democrats make a decision on their own?
Why do they need polls?
A: Because they're really disinterested in doing the right thing. They only want to do ANYTHING that makes them look good, with as little political risk as possible.

Q: Doesn't Senator Kerry want what's best for the
American people?
A: Not really, sweetie. He only wants what's best for certain demographics who will vote for him. In return, Senator Kerry will give them beautiful government programs, which will solve all their problems.
Q: You mean problems like unemployment?
A: That's right, sweetie. If elected President, Kerry will create millions of new jobs.
Q: How is Kerry gonna create these jobs?
A: By raising corporate taxes, sweetie.
Q: But, if Kerry raises taxes on corporations, how will businesses afford to hire new employees?
A: Let's talk about health care, honey.
Q: Will Senator Kerry give drugs to the elderly?
A: He sure will, sweetie.
Q: How will Senator Kerry pay for these drug costs?
A: By making the working American pay for them.
Q: You mean that when you grow old, Daddy, and I'm a working adult, that I won't have to take care of you like responsible Americans should? I can have the government do it?
A: That's correct. Remember, in President Kerry's world, all you have to do is worry about yourself. You'll have no family responsibilities because the government will take care of everything.

Q: How did Senator Kerry get so popular?
A: Because there's two types of Americans that are attracted to Kerry. The first group are the goofy liberal socialists like Hollywood celebrities. The second group are the lazy angry Americans, who don't want to work yet still get the fruits America has to offer. They want a government hand out to make lifem more comfortable.
Q: But, who funds these government programs for the lazy and the liberals?
A: The people who work hard and want to make a better life for themselves.
Q: Isn't that the opposite of the values this country was founded on?
A: Let's talk about other issues, honey.

Q: Why is my public school not teaching me how to read or do math?
A: Because the public schools need lots more money.
Q: Doesn't the public school system get lots of money already, and has for years?
A: But, polls show teachers are very liberal. We need to support that voting block.
Q: But, they're not teaching the three Rs. I can't read, Daddy!
A: As long as they teach you to be tolerant of special interests like gay and lesbians, then that's all that matters. Besides, if you could read, then you'd have access to filth like Sean Hannity's book.

Q: Daddy, why is my little sister a ghost?
A: Because I am a goofy liberal and I believe in partial-birth abortion.
Q: But, Daddy, she was merely weeks away from becoming a real baby. You wouldn't believe what those doctors did to her little head.
A: It was your mother's choice. You're not in favor of taking a woman's choice, are you?
