i kid you not.

There is another way you can tell you're a Republican. You have faith in free enterprise, faith in the resourcefulness of the American people ... and faith in the U.S. economy. To those critics who are so pessimistic about our economy, I say: "Don't be economic girlie men!"

arnold tells a nice story or two in his speech, but it's entirely devoid of substance imo.

 

[Changleen]

If you believe that government should be accountable to the people, not the people to the government...then you are a Republican! If you believe a person should be treated as an individual, not as a member of an interest group... then you are a Republican! If you believe your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does... then you are a Republican! If you believe our educational system should be held accountable for the progress of our children ... then you are a Republican!

So George Bush IS NOT a republican? Now I'm confused, Arnie...

 

[fluff]

You guys are so politically screwed.

Sadly that means the rest of us are too.

I'm listening.......................

You're not, you're pretending to listen.

You had already decided that you would vote for Bush in November before you knew who his opponent was. Regardless of what Kerry has or has not achieved you would still vote for Bush. Kerry could be the messiah but you'd vote for Bush.

You never know... there just might be something in Kerry's 19 year senate record that will just might change my mind.

So... are you going to come up with something???

[N8 v2.0]

I voted for Sen. Kerry before I voted against him.

Here you go N8, it's all just a click away:

 

[N8 v2.0]

Here you go N8, it's all just a click away:

Ah... so he has accomplished the following then:


He played an important role in negotiating S. J. Res. 23, which authorized the President to take military action to respond to the September 11 attacks

Senator Kerry believes...

Senator Kerry is deeply troubled

Senator Kerry authored the Gun Lock Consumer Protection Act

Senator Kerry helped to negotiate..

Senator Kerry has supported...

Kerry has advocated market-based solutions

Senator Kerry was a key supporter of

Senator Kerry addressed the Senate

The Senator supported the Department of Defense Appropriations bill, which the Senate approved on December 20, 2001. This legislation provides $317.6 billion in funding for national defense programs and $20 billion in emergency supplemental funding for homeland security, defense activities to combat terrorism, and aid and recovery programs for victims of the terrorist attacks. Before he voted against it

Senator Kerry has been a leader

Senator Kerry moved to strengthen

lead cosponsor of the National Marine Sanctuaries Reauthorization Act


Oh heck... you get the idea. Basically he's a follower. There is perhaps a handful of bills he has actually sponsored. At best, he generally appreasr to be a "Lead Cosponsor" and all this is from his very own personal website.

 

[fluff]

And Bush has done what?

(Oh, and I know that you didn't read my posts very closely, you just tried to find something to attack Kerry on.)

 

[jmvar]

I got this one N8,

Bush has sat by and watched Cheany, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz turn the US into an isolated, demoralized, polarized nation.

 

[N8 v2.0]

And Bush has done what?

(Oh, and I know that you didn't read my posts very closely, you just tried to find something to attack Kerry on.)

Not at all.

I was looking for something that would show some kind of leadership role after all he is running for President and all.

I figured he'd have done something he could run on other than his 4 months in Vietnam.

I have no great affinity for Kerry but he's a better (and sadly only realistic) alternative to the incumbent fool. That you seem to think Bush has demonstrated good leadership is scary.

 

[golgiaparatus]

I voted for Sen. Kerry before I voted against him.

Bull $hit.

 

[fluff]

I'll know when someone's read my post on Kerry's achievements well enough to make an intelligent assessment, and I know N8 hasn't yet...

 

[-BB-]

then you are a Republican! If you believe your family knows how to spend your money better than the government does... then you are a Republican!

I believe that I can spend my money better than the government does, but I'm not a republican b/c I don't think that YOU can spend your money better than the government does. :devil: neaky:

 

[Lexx D]

I've been watching the speeches. While I don't always agree with what the dems do or say I'm voting for Kerry. All the Repubs give me is reasons not to vote for them.

It's amazing to me how easily people, especially those who think of themselves as politically active, are manipulated by political one-liners and manufactured stereotypes. If people had ANY understanding of senate politics, they would laugh at this idea of Kerry being a flip-flopper. It takes so many amendments and revisions to pass a bill of ANY significance that EVERY senator who has ever done anything useful has voted both for and against anything they ever cared about, as the other side made amendments over the line in attempt to find a middle ground, or equal concessions. Pick your senator, and we could easily fabricate a nice list pf flip-flips on any number of key issues.

You have NO IDEA what kind of leader Kerry was in any of those committee sessions. Being a leader doesn't necessarily mean sponsoring and authoring every bill that comes your way. It means convincing people to be on your side, working together with those on your side to find the best solution, and inspiring people to think harder about solutions. Most of those sessions are closed but watch some historical C-Span footage of Kerry and you'll see a much greater leader than he's been in campaign mode.

The republicans have simply proven themselves masters of fabricating a personality and then making it the truth by repeating it enough times (see Gore the Liar, Clinton the Sex-Crazed Maniac, Kennedy the Drunk [okay, maybe some truth to that, but there's plenty of Rep Alkies too], Carter the Pus$y, Hillary the Bitch, etc.) Even YOUR ignorance isn't an excuse for being THAT gullible, N8.

I particularly liked the second committee in '93. No edits took place.

Now I have proof that N8 isn't listening...

And that's the TRUTH Ruth! Don't forget Mike Dukakis (my personal all time favourite to the US presidential candidacy). The vast majority of people will not search for more info than given by the politicians in their pre election shoot-offs, when time is limited. That's why their simplifications work so good, there's no way in hell you can give enough substance to some complicated things on such limited time. Good one-liners will kill, and if they've been hammered for some time by the media then anything will work.

We are victims of a propaganda war and the only way of limiting its effects on us is by knowledge of how it works (you've probably heard me say this before...repetition I'll make it stick, you'll see....).
