Questions about these "GOP Big Guns" ready to attack Kerry
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 11:28 AM by underpants
I found the picture below at Yahoos news photos and something struck me as odd. Kyl I can understand but Chambliss and Coleman were just elected in 2002 how much could they know about Kerry?

How much person to person could they have had?

Are they just reading the predetermined Rove-ian attack messages?

Does 'honor and dignity' include ignoring the etiquette established by a FOREFATHER?

Have they forgotten that this election is a referendum on Bush not on Kerry?

Did they learn nothing from the positive campaigning by some of the Dems (sometimes)?




With the Russell Senate office building seen through the window, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., sits in his temporary Senate office on Capitol Hill in this Jan. 9, 2003 file photo. Republican big guns are bringing out GOP senators to attack their Democratic colleague running for president. Recently GOP Sens. Chambliss, John Kyl of Arizona, and Norm Coleman of Minnesota have digressed from the Senate etiquette outlined ages ago by Thomas Jefferson to attack John Kerry (news - web sites) on multiple fronts. Kerry, distinguished junior senator from the great state of Massachusetts, is taking it on the chin from the frat pack. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, Files)

1. Norm Coleman is more like a squirt gun with very little water
The only thread I can see between Chambliss and Coleman is they were both elected with questionable numbers - how did they come from behind and win by the margins they did? They're both frauds.

2. I found this CNN report interesting....
Kerry mortgaged his house for 6M from Richard Mellon Mortgage Bank. Mellon increased the value of Kerry's house to 12M. The catch is that the house also belongs to Teresa, and the repigs are trying to say that Teresa contributed over 12M to Kerry's campaign.

Why Kerry went to that disgusting Richard Mellon for a mortgage is beyond me. Don't Kerry people know that Mellon payed for all the dirty tricks carried out against Prez Clinton and Hillary. And, Ann Coulter is on the Mellon payroll.

11. If the house is worth 12 million, half belongs to Theresa,
then Kerry could only mortgage his half, 6 million. The numbers add up to me. The bank would have had to do an appraisal and that is where they came up with the 12 million figure I would suppose. The bank is owned by Richard Mellon Scaife and Ann Coulter ? LOL

13. Not the bank Scaife is part of the four sisters who buy her books
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 12:49 PM by underpants
bulk buy her books to artificially keep them on the bestsellers list -not as long as Franken and Moore's though.

I used to have this committed to memory but the "Four Sisters" are Scaife, the Coors family, a very wealthy couple, and ?

They fund think tanks and fund magazines that really don't make any money and Drudge I would expect and the bulk book purchases (noted in NYT bestsellers like with a * -actually a dagger looking thingy).

3. Norm Coleman has had his lips
Firmly planted on Chimpy's backside since he decided to run for the Senate. The guy is an empty suit, and it galls me that a hack like that replaced Paul Wellstone !!!

10. Coleman was interviewed about The Passion last week
outside a Twin Cities theater...and I didn't care what he said but the reporter towered over him and Coleman looked to be about 4'10."
Hey - I'll take any kind of Coleman minimization I can get!

5. Chambliss and Coleman, 2 men who were elected using absolutely
vile campaign tactics. What they did to their democratic counterparts in the 2002 elections are reprehensible. Maybe the know the rewards that can be reaped by sliming and smearing your opponents so have entered to relive their own election campaigns. 2 masters of gutter politics getting into the game. Despicable.

7. have faith in karma, lovedems
We all know Norm Coleman for the creature he truly is, and I have to believe that some day poetic justice will be served.

9. Karma has been the notion that has kept me going for the last 3 years
the slime this republican party has been spewing for the last 3 years is so horrendous that it just has to come back and haunt them! Thanks for reminding me to keep the faith! :)

14. Like W?
Oh but he was Governor of Texas which you know has a patients bill of rights (written by the HMO's and never signed by W so as to please his HMO funders) and they have environmental policies (written by the polluters and mostly voluntary) and an educational policy (10-20% of Texas HS grads have to take remedial classes the first semester in college).

:eyes:

12. I can think of no one Kerry would rather go one on one with
than Chambliss. I am sure he is saying bring it on. He will chew him up and spit him out.

15. Those 2 may be the most corrupt of all the Senate Pukes.
Chambliss used BBV to steal the election from Cleland, and Coleman was probably involved in Wellstone's "accident". They also owe the RNC big time for 'arranging things'. So they'll say and do whatever their masters tell them, like attack dogs who don't eat unless they obey.
