Mr. Rich family and Mr. Poor Family

rich guy endorses rich guy

says

"serving as a politician in Illinois senate is more important that making money in the private sector"

mr kerry

spoken like a man who had no student loans

and never had to worry about
feeding or housing his own
parents

ok
sure doing a bunch of random crap in some state house has its place

but poor folk need money to survive

not lectures about how they should have just gone strait into politics
from college

yes mr kerry

i will let my mom eat cat food

so i can go put my name on
a meaningless piece of legislation

that would have passed anyway

mr kerry
has never had to worry about money
or
taking care of anyone
but himself
his entire life

public service is easy for you
if your family has already helped itself
to a huge pile of cash

you are now free
to be
"selfless"

and attack someone

who had get their own money

to take care their own family

as selfish and greedy

yep
with 100,000k in loans

and as the first college graduate in my immediate family

when i graduate law school

i am going to run for city council to save the world and stoke my ego......

or wait
should I try to make money?

but if i do
does that make me selfish and greedy?

listen to Kerry
listen to his words

what is he really saying?

where does medical care and education fit in?

what is happening in Darfur(sp?) sucks

but

if this nation cant help black folks in New Orleans

what do we offer those in Africa
but platitudes and false hope?

lets at least try to rebuild new Orleans

before we play god
and try
to clean up a mess that was created by colonial empires in Africa
a 100 years ago

because people,
if we cant do the "easy" stuff
like care for our own poor people

(who are (for now)
better off than most of Africa)

then
how are we going to save whole nations

that most folks
including rich people
cant even find on a map

save Africa, bring peace to the middle east

i am all for it

but first

just try to save New Orleans
or bring peace to east saint Louis

please
just try it
FIRST

after all these places should be "easier" right?

but if it "cant be done"
just like universal health care "cant be done"
(except in every other wealthy nation on earth)

then you really cant save Africa or the middle east
either

and therefore

this is just rich people
feeling good about themselves
at a safe distance

see if you blow it in Nigeria or Palestine
you can walk away and say

"i tried"

but if you blow it in Chicago or Boston

we can all see it
and that makes you a "failure"

if all that matters to you is your own ego

if you are rich or from a rich family
HOW
you do shit is IMPORTANT

because you have all these options>>>>

but if you are poor or from a poor family

you help who you can
when you can
how ever you can

while you simultaneously
must
take care of
your family
and
yourself
because
with out
you
their all f$(%&ed

ask mr kerry how he does it
without a shit load of cash

when he just stares at you blankly

ask him where he got his cash
and
ask him
if anyone in his family is on welfare

ditto for mister Obama

it is good thing there are no poor folks left in America for Kerry to help

it frees him up to go to far away places
and get his ass kissed on the cheap and consequence free tip

i am so happy for us all

we really need a president to spend the next four to eight years
wasting money and time
over seas
so he can feel good about himself
while
neglecting this county

we have not had enough of that.
