A courier I know came in. I was distracted and told him what I was listening to. He asked how it was going, and I said I might be biased, but I thought Kerry was doing well.
That's when things got ugly. The guy got all smug and almost like a little kid started quoting all the old lies about Kerry.
He started chanting "Flipper, flipper, flipper" to which I replied "Parrot, Parrot, that's right. Repeat your guy's lies like a parrot."
So damned stoked right now. I was listening on the radio. How did it look? It sounded great.
The freeper mentioned the economy was doing better.
I said who ever heard of a jobless recovery.
I brought up the outsourcing of jobs. He brought up Teresa outsourcing Heinz jobs. I told him she didn't own that company, that she only runs the philanthropy foundation. He didn't believe it. I told him to go to snopes.com and check that out and other urban legends like Kerry owning 5 mansions. He co-owns one with Teresa, and the rest are hers. And he has his ONE mortgaged for the campaign.
He said we lost jobs under Clinton. I said actually neither side can claim much on the economy because it's going to do what it's going to do, though his side will try to take credit or lay blame. But we sure did alright under Clinton didn't we.
He brought up taxes. I told him Kerry's plan to raise them for the rich, leave the middle alone and lower them for the poor. He said he didn't believe it.
He brought up needing someone strong on terrorism who wouldn't flip flop. I said that since 1997 Kerry has had the same stance on terror. All you had to do was read and research and not listen to the spin song Bush and Co to find out you've been misled on Kerry. If you take someone's words out of context, you can make anyone look like a fool. But that doesn't change that Kerry knows what he's talking about.
I told this guy that Kerry was going to win, and it wouldn't be close. He promised to come back if Bush wins and laugh in my face. I promised to go to his place of business and do the same if Kerry wins.
Thank ye Jesus. That was GREAT!!! Kerry said everything I wanted him to. Everything. And Bush could only repeat the same spin over and over. Woo hooo!!
