Defining acts in life....

[SeekingTruth]

One thing about this whole Kerry/Bush/Vietnam debate really baffles me....(now ladies, don't take this the wrong way or get offended at what follows....)

As men, all of our lives we are faced with lifelong defining moments - the first fistfight, the first final showdown with a bully, standing up for something we believe in, standing up for something we believe in when it's not popular, losing a job and et cetera.

GWB has FAILED at every one of these things - he has been hiding behind the pant legs of others all his life - poppy, she-man babs, Dick, Powell and so on. He avoided going to war and then avoiding staying in the unit he used to avoid war. Numerous businesses were bailed out for him by others and his old man.

But what really, really pisses me off is that this little sniveling jerk got up today and spoke about Kerry as if he were a man who would not be a man!! Here he was saying how Kerry would wilt in the face of adversity when this man of blue blood volunteered - fucking volunteered - for combat!

I simply do not get it and never will......

please, someone, help me understand this madness and perveristy....

1. The truth doesn't matter

only the spin. People vote with their emotions more than with a solid knowledge of the facts.

2. me, I....

just whistle while i work.
i whistle a happy tune.
I know how to whistle.
sometimes, I wet my whistle.
and then...

i remember that i have kids, and no one is going to sell their future down the Halliburton River while i can still organize, talk, write, argue and vote.

not karl rove, not tom delay, and certainly not the poster boy for irresponsibility, our own resident in the white house.

to paraphrase charlton heston, they'll have to pry the ballot box out of my cold, dead hands...

whalerider55, who's really starting to get annoyed

3. this is the way of the priveledged and the elite

who do not really fit into the high society of the old monied rich and priveleged, but into the crass noveau rich, bordering on criminal Bush family. They are not intellectuals , but the types that pat their wives ass in public as if she were a beloved horse and think it cute, and wipe their glasses on the coatails of the nearest woman's jacket. They are trash, yet they are so in love with themself they think they are "society"

Compare to Teresa Kerry and her wonderful humanitarian projects. Compare to John Kerry who volunteered for combat duty in VietNam.

Both rich, who have given something back.

The Bush family is stupid, trash. Take a look at the vacant, do nothing lazy Laura and her two skanky, sodden daughters. They think they are the elite, but they are just shallow trash with a lot of money .

5. no the gender thing makes perfect sense
