Slashdot post summarizing differences between Bush and Kerry

written by some user named SewersofRivendell on Slashdot, responding to this comment:

On paper Bush and Kerry are both so equally horrible that it is impossible to distinguish between them.

Thanks for that, Karl Rove. Please back that assertion up with facts. Because it sure seems to anyone who's actually paying attention that there's a huge disparity between Bush and Kerry. Let me list just a few of the differences that I've observed.

Kerry actually mentioned science in his DNC acceptence speech. Kerry actually mentioned his web site in his DNC acceptence speech. Kerry actually saved the lives of several people in Vietnam and afterwards . Kerry is a documented war hero. Everyone who was actually there at the time says so. (Lots of people who weren't there and just happen to be funded by wealthy Republicans from Texas claim otherwise.)

Meanwhile Bush's favorite philosopher is Jesus, which is fair enough. Lots of Christians love Jesus. But Bush can't name anything Jesus ever said, let alone abide by His word. Still, Jesus is a good name-drop sop to the sacreligious right for him, so he'll continue to use that line.

Bush has never saved anyone's life . Bush started a preemptive war that has so far resulted in over 1000 American deaths and at least ten times that number of Iraqi deaths -- including innocent women and children.

Come on, man, pick up the beat. Kerry is much superior to Bush. Don't listen to the right-wing talking heads. Think for yourself.

2. That's weird...

A friend just e-mailed me a link to the thread this came from and using it to explain his own views. (He's very liberal, probably more so than I am on some issues, but I've been fearing he's reaching a level of decay in his morale where he's "dropping out.")

Anyway, it inspired a flurry of e-mails from me to him about all this.

No point, just found that an interesting coincidence.
