Isn’t Kerry a Senator?
Ok, I choked through parts of Jim, I mean John Kerry’s speech last night at the convention. When I was not staring at his remarkably rosy cheeks I was listening for him to say something about his many years in the U.S. Senate. I kept saying “Let me hear what you did in the Senate, the Senate John, the Senate!” And then it dawned on me….HE DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN THE SENATE! He didn’t purpose one piece of legislation in the years he was there! Yet, we are to believe that he has all of the answers to all of the problems in America, I mean both Americas. By the way, I believe in a UNITED AMERICA Johnny! And you call President Bush a divider?! Anyway, where was I….oh yeah! What he did do in the Senate was to vote AGAINST every military spending bill, every new weapons system, every Intel spending bill and for every bill to cut the military and intelligence that was purposed by anyone! NOW he tells us that if elected he will add 40,000 more troops, spend money on the newest weapons systems and won’t hesitate to use our military!!! The saddest part id that there are 10′s of people who actually believe him! Yes, I know, there are millions of people who support him, but VERY few who actually believe that crap. They are so ashamed of being liberals, and are so aware that the majority of Americans are not, that they scoured the speeches to remove any mention of abortion, gun control, and the redistribution of wealth. Then they invited patrol boat crews and they’re skippers on stage because he couldn’t scrape together enough of his own crew that wanted to be seen with him. All this to try to convince the most gullible in this country that this Viet Nam war protester is a strong military man! Ok, I’m through. My wife doesn’t know I watched any of Kerry’s speech last night, so don’t tell her. She thinks I was outside watching a baseball game.

The John Kerry who gave the acceptance speech was certainly not the John Kerry we’ve seen campaigning, nor the senator who’s been voting all these years. It will be interesting to see if Kerry can pull of this makeover in the coming months.

And the great lies go on. You say that Kerry has voted against every military spending bill; not true. If you bothered to do any research, you would discover that he has voted for 13 out of 19 military spending bills over the term of his career.
Be careful, the facts can be tricky.

Yo Zack, realize the US spends approximately 4 times more than any other nation on defense. Realize military contractors RAPE the taxpayer via the Pentagon budget.
Don’t go equating vetoing military increases with being soft– equate with responsible spending.
That’s the problem with you conservatives… you’re all stupid to even debate issues with.

All thru the presidential campaign all you heard from John Kerry was how he “had a plan”. Now that 6 months have past since the election wouldn’t it be great for the country if Senator “I have a plan” Kerry let the rest of us in on his plans to cure all our ills.
