Kerry on CNN: "the president has adopted the John Kerry policy"
Excellent i-view: http://www.edwardsdavid.com/BushVideos/cnn_ip_john_kerry_interview_050315-01.rm

Kerry gave that response in regards to *'s trip to France and Germany.... Funny how Kerry was bashed and ridiculed prior to the elections in regards to his concern of the worlds opinion, and what does * do after re-elected? Takes a Euro trip....

3. so depressing...
To see an articulate and intelligent man who should have been President... I really hope he runs in 2008...he's a fighter and deserves this chance to improve our country...

5. I just clipped an article out of an old newspaper about Rummy
predicting that we'd be out of Iraq in 4 years. Gee, doesn't that sound familiar? And I remember how they bashed Kerry for setting that goal during the campaign, saying announcing such things was a mistake.

Guess nobody told Rummy.

Yep, even a Libertarian friend of mine sees that the admin is acting on some of Kerry's suggestions. And badly, I might add. Incompetents.

I was reading how Rummy is both the oldest and the youngest Defense Sec we've ever had. He was the youngest during Ford's admin. Which made my blood run cold, because I remember reading in the Rolling Stone about how he and Cheney had much to do with the messy retreat out of Vietnam, leaving allies behind and such.

How much you wanna bet we exit Iraq the same messy way.

7. Plausible Denial...The Sequel
The other night I encountered a dittohead on another message board. He used every Rushbo talking point, and, as usual, when you trapped him in one of the Chimpster's lies or his own hypocrisies, the Pavlovian response was "Clinton, Clinton, Clinton..." if fits into everything. No matter what his assholiness screws up, Clinton was responsible. 9/11...of cousre, Clinton let Bin Laden go and stripped the military and CIA (all lies) or economy...Clinton inflated the numbers, it was never really that good (and all those employed people then weren't really employed???).

This sounds like CNNServative's latest Rovian mantra...if things go bad, "well this is exactly what Kerry would have done...". This isn't vindication, this is setting up for the next round of buck passing.

8. Now that Bush is letting Laura have a few parties... we need to find
out the whine list - is it a Chablis? A Sauvingnault Blanc? ... grapes imported from France.

We have to feminize this president. Cause he seems to want to keep us busy worried about SS with no resolution possible because he refuses to put 'pen to paper' and tell us his plan. I say we put his "anxious masculinity' to good use and pick apart the wine list and the clothes he wears at formal balls.

How do you get the wine list from the WH dinners?
We know he is not drinking this stuff - but his guests...

10. We Had Photos Of Him As A Cheerleader
Can't get as "feminized" as that. But Kerry was saddled with advisors and a national party with no balls.

11. Kerry was up against sociopaths. You fight adolescent monsters with
Edited on Wed Mar-16-05 01:46 AM by applegrove
proper aggresion but you do not start to act like thugs & bullies and monsters. Could be that Bush will take can build up much hatred for neocon/rovbot/gop/repukes/freepers this term. Perhaps it is better we bite off and chew the Nexus of Evil this time. If Kerry had won then the neocons/rovbots/gop could have gone into the background again and festered and built up even more television & newspaper networks. This way... they may end their Bush days in power with a good, slow, populist, Hillary & Reid & Dean inspired populist uprising. An uprising that will put adult America squarely on the side of Democrats and the separation of church/state, corporations/government, military contractors/think tanks, etc.. very, very seriously looked into.

Perhaps.

12. Don't Believe In Bringing Knives To A Gunfight
But I will concede that a Kerry Presidency would be very problematic.

14. And the corrolary--Bush fucked it up.
Bush steals pages from opponents' playbooks, in implicit acknowledgement that he has run out of ideas on how to fix the problems he either created or allowed to fester.

Then he fucks it up.

For Europe, Bush went because that's what a normal, thinking person would do. But he fucked it up, there and immediately after, because at heart he isn't a normal, thinking person but a seething cauldron of millenialist, self serving, hating ideological bullshit.
