• If you believe a medal winner in four Olympic track events who spent the next 30 years as a gluttonous, beer-swilling couch potato should serve as a national model for physical fitness, you might be a Kerry supporter. • If you're convinced terrorists can be transformed into rational, civilized humanists by engaging them in meaningful dialogue over a falafel-and-pita-bread lunch at the U.N. cafeteria, you might be a Kerry supporter. • You might be a Kerry supporter if you believe obesity is a disease best treated with a generous dose of trial lawyering. • Do you view brawny SUVs as a blight on the American landscape, heedlessly consuming inordinate amounts of limited resources? A SUV-driving fence-sitter, in an unguarded moment, told me she wished the government would outlaw her ownership of an SUV. If you believe a less draconian and more effective way to assuage her environmental guilt is explaining that the gas-guzzling vehicle actually belongs to her spouse, you might be a Kerry supporter. • If you believe pacifists and peaceniks support the most liberal senator because of his Vietnam War heroics, you just might be a Kerry supporter. • If you resent the tax cuts that enabled your employer's owners to invest more so you and your coworkers could retain your jobs, you could use a remedial math class and a king-sized dose of common sense — and you might be a Kerry supporter. • If you believe tthe $60 million-plus spent by 527s to promote the Democratic candidates is a healthy expression of First Amendment, freedom-of-speech rights, but the $3 million spent by anti-Kerry 527s is an illegal Republican National Committee conspiracy to circumvent McCain-Feingold campaign reform, you just might be a Kerry supporter. • You might be a Kerry supporter if you agree with propagandist moviemaker Michael Moore that Mr. Bush is a greater threat to freedom and world peace than the megalomaniacal mother-of-all palace-dwellers who attacked his neighbors, used chemical weapons on his people, ground up live Iraqis and publicly beheaded women who dared complain. • Perhaps you can't see the rich irony in a left-wing millionaire pop star claiming an affinity for the blue-collar worker who forks over a day's take-home pay to attend the pop star's concert. But if you're confident a politician on the public payroll all his adult life — who filled in his campaigns' financial potholes with cash from his wealthy wives — knows more about the economics of employing the blue-collar worker than the company owner who signs the worker's paycheck, you might be a Kerry supporter. • If you believe the man who confused Lyndon Johnson with Richard Nixon, 1968 with 1969, Cambodia with Vietnam, and an east-west border with a north-south river, was otherwise capable of identifying shore-bound Asians celebrating Christmas in a Buddhist country, you might be a Kerry supporter. • Still swaying on the fence? Imagine you're a director at R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., looking to hire a new chief executive officer after a recent merger with Brown & Williamson. You interview a prospective candidate who claims he would be a strong leader and expand the company's market share. Then, you discover he worked for the last 30 years to put tobacco companies out of business. If you would recommend hiring the candidate because he smoked cigarettes for four months in 1969, you might be a Kerry supporter. • John Kerry ends his Web site biography with the words "Let America be America again." If you know to which of John Edwards' "Two Americas" Kerry refers, and what we're supposed to let the other America be, you just might be ... John Kerry. http://www.washtimes.com/commentary/20040911-110007-7696r.htm
Kudos for quoting your source this time but you never did properly attribute your remarks in the Guard thread.
I believe we are still waiting for the first "original thought" as well, but I guess . . . baby steps.
My "original research" on the CBS document expert (the fact that he was the lone "expert" who supported the Democratic position on the Foster suicide note) lead to a front page display on DrudgeReport . The link was up there for more than 24 hours, seen by over 10 million people (according to Drudge website counter on the page http://www.drudgereport.com/ ). Hmm.
Drudge is a glorified blogger. Why is it exactly that something on his site is seen by you a uncontestible fact?
He broke the Monica Lewinsky story. He also beat the mainstream media to the announcement of Diana, Princess of Wales's death. When your site is viewed by 258 million people in 31 days, your criticism will have some basis VISITS TO DRUDGE 9/10/04 010,878,699 IN PAST 24 HOURS 258,160,652 IN PAST 31 DAYS 2,768,566,004 IN PAST YEAR http://www.drudgereport.com/
No it doesn't. I suppose being first at the box office also gives Kangaroo Jack critical acclaim, right?
You still hold out hope for the intelligence of the average American, don't you? You're a better man than I, Gunga Din.
The thing is, America is a wonderful place, where people can thrive without having to use their inteligence. Is this a great country or what?
If you think 1000 American lives are worth nothing.....................you just might be........a Bush supporter.
