Dipping My Toes Into Politics

Thoughts on current events with great help from FoxNews and its fair and balanced journalists. This blog will focus mainly on the current Presidential election and the United Nations Oil-For-Food scandal. Occasional bouts of folly and conspiratorial fun will abound. Links to the original articles are provided in the main title of each post. FoxNews Oil-For-Food documents have been posted here in chronological order for further study and examination of the unfolding scandal.

Leftist Brain Drool

the name in this story has been changed to protect the guilty

this explains it. this one little blurb of brain drool explains the Left precisely.

this person formed an opinion, and a strong, very, very emphatic one, about something that was completely unknown to them. this person had no fucking idea what they were commenting on, but this person sure spun their opinion as tight as they could, projected their ignorance, if this is even possible, onto something they were completely clueless about.

if this person is unable to grasp what "green eyeshades" are, something that has been part of American AND European culture for at least 200 years, something which many accountants use as their logo in the phonebook, bus signs, tv commercials. tax people, my god! tax people. they use the logo of a guy under the lights with shirtsleeves rolled up, green visor on, pen scribbling away. how many thousands of times have you see this?

but this person is so sure they understand that which they don't at all. so sure, they're able to say what it means. they think. but it's this person's baseless opinion that carries the weight. that's what's important. that's what is the crux of the matter. that's the principle. that's the truth.

never... never does this person admit their error. never.

a member of the other cork said:

fighting green eye shades...

same as saying it's all shades of gray....

At least that's what I think he meant. I'm not a mind reader like he apparently is.



a-fucking-mazing

do you see? am i wrong? is this a perfect example?

it's frightening.

now, if this person were having a conversation with you or me, they'd be fighting to the death that "green eyeshades" means "all shades of gray", even though they are unsure, uncertain, and completely in the dark about the meaning. would fight tooth and nail to pound this into you. and despite this person's glaring ignorance, they still made a snide remark about the President who used the term "green eyeshades" appropriately and humorously. attacking that which they do not understand is a way of life for them. they always have to be "right". *grin*

it's the same way Kerry handles his campaign. it's chock full of lies, misrepresentations, slants, sways, flips, flops, "versions" of truth, pomposity, arrogance, and sheer, unmitigated gaul. there is no humility in Kerry. only a self-serving personal agenda meant to gain him personal glory and popularity. especially, he incorrectly thinks, in Eurabia (the Oil-For-Food rapists).

if the sun is obviously shining, Kerry and his Kerrobots drone in unison... "it's dark", despite fact after fact after fact shown to them, explained to them, they turn their heads in defiant disbelief. they will not even listen to the truth. they will not admit mistakes or errors in what they hold up as "truth" even with proof of their error given to them. they can see it. they can hear it. still, they will not admit it.

these people, like Kerry, are dangerous. they're like cultists. what am i saying? they ARE cultists; The Kerrobots, and they are in serious need of deprogramming.

Kerry is counting on their mental weakness, their defiant attitudes, their willingness to remain blind, deaf, and mindlessly repeating the ambiguous and foggy Kerry rhetoric. the weak are easy to persuade. they never see it coming. and, before they know it – everything they own is gone. he has found his base in the weak and the politically lazy. Kerry demonstrates the success of his manipulative personality seeping into these sheep everyday when he releases his talking points these Kerrobots spew as if it were gospel. have you listened to Terry McCauliff? this guy has gone way off the deep end. these days, when on television news shows, he's red in the face, spittle flying everywhere, choking to get his words out, and so filled with denial. it's obvious he’s between a rock and a hard spot, obvious he has no substantiative, intelligent, germane reply, obvious he’s uncomfortable and only in it now because he’s gone this far.

i hope The Left will, on election day, truly look into their hearts. they know the truth is in there somewhere. buried deep. under lots of Kerry's l i b e r a l political rhetoric. when they find it, when they realize the danger Kerry wants to put us in with his plan of appeasement to dictators, heavy taxation, government-controlled health care, a decimated military, and at the beck-and-call of France, Russia, and Germany... i hope they vote for Bush. when they're all alone in that voting booth and they can vote in secret to save face with the other Kerrobots that will never understand. they never have to tell. they can do the right thing and vote for Bush. or, they can do the very dangerous thing that will soon destroy the American way of life and vote for Kerry.

Bush, Kerry Bound Back Onto Campaign Trail

Saturday, October 09, 2004

ST. LOUIS — No longer face to face but just as feisty, President Bush and Sen. John Kerry took their rolling argument on Iraq and the economy to more Midwest battleground states Saturday and chided each other for not being up front with American voters.

"The choice for America could really not have been more clear than it was last night," Kerry told supporters in Ohio on his first campaign trip since their debate in St. Louis. "Four more years of the wrong choices, or four years of beginning to move America in a direction that creates jobs, creates health care, puts America's respect back where it ought to be."

How can Kerry talk about respect? He has no respect for the President, the coalition, the Prime Minister of Iraq. He has publicly denigrated all of them. Kerry called the coalition "phony". Kerry has no idea what respect is. Kerry's idea of moving America in the right direction will cost us even more - he'll tax the hell out of us to pay for his "plan".


Kerry called Bush's response to the last question of the debate Friday night — the president was asked to name three specific mistakes he had made and what he did to correct them, but ended up doing neither — "the most stunning moment of the whole evening." He added, "The president couldn't even name one mistake."

Because the President hasn't made any mistakes. The President had globally verified and trusted intelligence information regarding the WMD in Iraq. Kerry had the exact same information and also agreed going to war was the right thing to do. Kerry changing his opinion of the war does not diminish the quality (or the lack of quality, as we now know) of that information. Everyone was working from the same documents. For Kerry to now say the war in Iraq was a mistake is turncoat.



In Waterloo, Iowa, Bush ridiculed Kerry's claim not to have changed positions on the war in Iraq and contended the Democrat's statements about Iraq, health care and taxes "don't pass the credibility test."

And the President is absolutely right. Kerry has been all over the place when it comes to the war in Iraq. Everyone has heard his multiple positions. For Kerry to say he has "never wavered" is a lie. Yes, I said it. It's a lie."


"With a straight face, he said, 'I have only had one position on Iraq,'" the president said to hoots of laughter from the crowd. "I could barely contain myself. He must think we've been on another planet."

No, Mr President. Kerry is the one from another planet. His grasp of reality and the gravity of the situations in the world today are beyond Kerry's comprehension.


Kerry has asserted that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney might be the "last two people on the planet who won't face the truth about" ongoing violence and instability in Iraq.

Kerry and Edwards are the last two people on the planet who won't face the truth. They are fooling themselves, and their followers, leading them down the primrose path. That path is not a good one. It is a dangerous one. One that will forever change America and her security.


"In the spring of 2003 as I ordered the invasion of Iraq, Sen. Kerry said it was the right decision," Bush told supporters at a fund-raising breakfast earlier in the day in St. Louis. "Now he says it's the wrong war. And he's trying to tell us he's had only one position. Who is he trying to kid? He can run, but he cannot hide."

Why do Kerry's followers refuse to acknowledge his multiple and ever-changing positions on everything? They seem to nod and smile, empty-headed fools, Kerrobots, brainwashed by the party line and each morning's talking points. Unable to truly think for themselves, they must be led by the hand (brain) and patted on the head when they comply with the party wishes.


Their 90-minute debate featured testy exchanges as they argued over the war, jobs, education, health care, abortion, the environment and prescription drugs.

And Kerry became more and more frustrated and agitated as the 90 minutes passed. He was not able to answer the tough questions and changed the subject, or, went off-topic, more times than not.


Bush said that if Kerry were president, Saddam Hussein "would still be in power." The senator replied: "Not necessarily be in power ..."

"Not necessarily in power..." What does that mean? He'd hold a diplomatic position? You'd put him in charge of what, John Kerry? How would you allow Saddam Hussein to continue to drain the UN Oil-For-Food Program for his, and your, personal benefit?


Bush said tax increases would be inevitable if the Democrat took power, as Kerry promised not to raise taxes on those making $200,000 or less.

It's very easy to understand. Kerry says he'll tax only the top two percent, but, within that top two percent are the majority of small business owners. Sure, businesses make more than $200K a year, but the owners of those business do not. Yet, under Kerry's plan, these middle class Americans will be paying the taxes he swears they will not. The only people Kerry is kidding are the ones that are unable to think for themselves, the Leftists.


The debate's questions were delivered by selected voters, just 25 days before the election, on subjects that spanned diplomacy, economics and ethics.

I thought the questions asked were good ones. They were questions requiring explanation instead of confrontation or point-making.


Kerry condemned Bush as the first president to see more jobs lost than created in 72 years, criticizing his successive tax cuts as a giveaway to the rich at the expense of massive budget deficits.

Does Kerry remember 9/11? America lost over one million jobs in just a few hours because of the World Trade Center being destroyed. The tax cuts did stimulate the economy and brought us out of a recession. The most shallow recession America has ever known. Bush has it right. Give the people back some of their money to spend. It will work. It did work.


Kerry also responded without hesitation that he would pledge not to raise taxes on people making less than $200,000. "Absolutely yes, right into the camera. Yes — I am not going to raise taxes."

It was precisely Kerry's lack of hesitation and the shift in his eyes when he spoke to the camera for all of two seconds before he had to look away. He could NOT talk to America with sincerity because he knew he was lying to America. He knows that what the President said about the small business owners being the ones to foot Kerry bill for taxes was true and correct. But, Kerry won't admit that. And he never will.


Bush scoffed at the answer. "Of course he's going to raise your taxes." The president said Kerry would raise taxes on middle-class Americans to pay for campaign promises that he tagged at $2.2 trillion, while labeling his opponent one of the country's most liberal senators.

Kerry's senatorial record says it all. Up taxes, cut defense and intelligence. Well, when he shows up for work, which is very rarely.


The president dampened the scowling expressions of the first debate, but several questions brought his emotions bubbling up as he moved aggressively to counter the Massachusetts Democrat. He overtook one of moderator Charles Gibson's questions as he attacked Kerry's statement that the United States went alone into war in Iraq.

I didn't see it that way at all. I saw the President rise to the situation. Kerry had just insulted the coalition - again! Would you stand by as your friends were belittled without cause? No, I didn't think so. Neither would I. But, the only person important to Kerry is -- Kerry. No one else matters.


"I've got to answer this," Bush said as he cut off the moderator. "There are 30 countries there. It denigrates an alliance to say we're going alone, to discount their sacrifices."

That's the thing about Kerry that bothers me the most - lying. We have thirty countries with us in Iraq, shoulder-to-shoulder, the same sacrifices every day for the same decision - for Iraq to be free and to help the people of Iraq maintain their liberty and new-found freedom. With Kerry, black is not black and white is not white. He will, just for the sake of holding a differing position, demand the opposite is "truth". Kerry has no idea what truth is or what it means.


Kerry showed a cooler and wordier bearing to the participants and television viewers, but he was no less argumentative than the more heated president. The Republican campaign said Kerry looked haughty, and Bush aides counted the Democrat's negative facial expressions.

I found Kerry to be nervous and fidgety. He stammered and stuttered. Sometimes, he had a very sanctimonious expression on his face, very pompous. But, each time he thought he had the edge, which he truly didn't, the President would knock him down a few notches more.


An instant ABC News poll suggested that the voters who tuned in for the Friday night debate picked Kerry the winner by a narrower margin than the first debate. This time, the quick poll showed 44 percent of voters saying Kerry won, 41 percent favoring Bush and 13 percent declaring a tie.

The Democrats are pushing their supporters hard. E-mails and websites instructing them where to go and what to say regarding the debate for the insta-polls. Besides, with the lack of integrity pervasive throughout the Democratic party, I'd venture one person equaled about ten votes. The President was the clear and decisive winner last night. No doubt about it.


The two men fared about equally in a poll of debate viewers by CNN-USA Today-Gallup. Asked who did a better job, 47 percent said Kerry and 45 percent said Bush.

More double-triple-quadruple voting my the Dems in the polls


The third and final debate will be held Wednesday in Tempe, Ariz., with the focus on domestic issues.

And I am so ready to listen and cheer my President on to victory!
