How can you vote for a liar like Kerry? |
|
I still can't believe there are real folks out there that still ask that question? This was a co-worker who asked me that question and at first I thought she was joking with me. But she was serious.
Do folks still think Bush has never ever lied?

2. Nice flamebait headline! |
|
There are, in fact, people who think Bush has never lied. I talk to several frequently. They make my head hurt.

17. These headlines make the DU front page for awhile. |

I once got taken to task for that, and rightly so.

4. I was listening to Alan Colmes' show |

when he had that rapid fire segment- asking who people would vote for - the ones who said Bush said they felt Kerry was dishonest but that Bush has "integrity". I think it's some sort of mass psychosis.

5. I think you are right about the mass psychosis |
|
or maybe mass hypnosis. The Bush Crime Family propaganda machine works well. They have studied under the masters of the 20th century. In fact, they appear to have been on the same side as the master's of 20th century war propaganda.

6. You can't let that question go without SLAMMING the person asking you |
|
with the truth.
Ask them to name a lie that Kerry has told.
Make a bet that you can name 10 Bush lies for every Kerry lie.
These IDIOTS are brainwashed by Limbaugh, etc. I wish DU'ers would TURN OFF conservative radio once and for all. I'd rather watch paint dry than listen to Rush for 10 minutes.

I agree Jackstraw. There is no reason to add to their audiences. Big waste of time.

14. Your very rich friend |
|
is projecting his own issue onto Kerry. Having money can do wierd things to you. I grew up in a conservative cattle and ranching family. It tends to influence the way you see things.

I have been dealing with "Libertarians" who are voting for Bush because the Democrats are a danger to our freedoms...

19. If you know any capital "L" Libertarians.... |
|
then surly they remember *'s most recent SOTU address where he called for the permanent extension of the Patriot Act. If they are okay with this then they either:
(A)Believe the PA to be a legitimate and useful tool in the war against terror
(B)Are racist and really don't care since abuses against the public are mainly against Arab Americans, not conservative white folk who want fewer taxes

12. We have to accept the fact |

that some people are truly stupid. A woman where my wife works isn't worried about her job and yet a persn two cubes away from her had her job sent to Brazil. She doesn't believe it and supports $hrub.

15. * = FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR |
|
To the tune of “Paperback Writer” (and with apologies to the Beatles)
FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
I HEARD THE RIGHT WING AND THEIR LATEST SPIN SAYING KERRY WAFFLES AND THAT’S SUCH A SIN IT’S BASED ON THE FAXES FROM A MAN NAMED ROVE BUT TO KEEP HIS JOB, BUSH HAS GOT TO BE A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
EV’RY PHONY PROMISE, EV’RY PHONY CLAIM THEY WRAP IN A FLAG AND A PHONY NAME SO HE GIVES SPEECHES TO THE BUSSED-IN CROWDS IT’S NO EASY JOB, BECAUSE BUSH IS SUCH A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
WHILE THEIR TAX CUT SCAM RAISED THE DEFICIT THEY’RE ALL SO RICH, THEY DON’T GIVE A SHIT AND THEY’RE MAKING PROFITS OFF THEIR DIRTY WAR SO BE A PATRIOT, AND JUST CALL BUSH A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR
IF YOU DARE CROSS THEM, THEY’LL EXPOSE YOUR WIFE IF THEY CLAIM THEY’RE HELPING JUST EXPECT MORE STRIFE WHILE YOU COUNT THE CHILDREN WHO GET LEFT BEHIND PASS THE KOOL-AID UP AND REMEMBER HE’S A FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR FLIP-FLOPPING LIAR

He said, "Well sometimes you have to lie..."
I said, "Oh, good grief..."

We'll do it by highlighting his name with some sort of electronic wheel thingie and pressing a button.

by a repub recently. Actually he tried to play the "I'm neutral" card. He said "I'll vote for anyone who is honest no matter what they say. Even if they want to destroy the world I'll vote for them as long as they are honest about it".
He then said "That's why I support Bush. At least he is honest about what he is going to do". I then threw out the "no plans on my desk for Iraq" lie. Threw him totally off. Guy was a repub nut.

23. Kerry is a politician for a very long time... and |
|
if you seek contradictions of course you'll find... Perhaps that will be his weakness against Bush's attacks.
