Voting for Edwards or Kerry is ....
Edited on Fri Feb-20-04 12:42 PM by pezcore64
A smack in the face to every person who disagreed with the war in Iraq.

"War Child" - Cranberries

Who will save the war child baby?
Who controls the key?
The web we weave is thick and sordid,
Fine by me.

At times of war we're all the losers,
There's no victory.
We shoot to kill and kill your lover,
Fine by me.

War child, victim of political pride.
Plant the seed, territorial greed.
Mind the war child,
We should mind the war child.

I spent last winter in New York,
And came upon a man.
He was sleeping on the streets and homeless,
He said, "I fought in Vietnam."

Beneath his shirt he wore the mark,
He bore the mark with pride.
A two inch deep incision carved,
Into his side.

War child, victim of political pride.
Plant the seed, territorial greed.
Mind the war child,
We should mind the war child.

Who's the loser now? Who's the loser now?
We're all the losers now. We're all the losers now.

3. Great
Our parents get the Beatles and Bob Dylan and we get the friggin' Cranberries? Couldn't you at least find a relevant U2 song?

What do you propose? Voting for Bush? Not voting at all (a defacto vote for Bush)?

10. Kerry is reponsible
He voted for it. Do you believe Kerry when he says he was lied to.

I heard the same stuff and knew it was lies. Isn't Kerry smart enough to tell when Bush is telling a lie?

15. You didn't hear the same stuff Kerry heard
Colin Powell did not look you in the eye shake your hand and promise you that they would do everything they could to support inspection process, work w UN, etc etc.

George Tenet and his agents did not show you super top secret reports that "proved" they knew where the WMDs were.

16. Those excuses won't wash.
Colon Bowells has been the consumate liar since he covered up the My Lai massacre, and Kerry should know that better than anyone, since he participated in similar massacres himself, by his own admission. And we all know the Tenet reports were "suggested" by Uncle Dick on one of his many visits to Langley.

17. I think you are thinking of Bob Kerrey re Vietnam
As to the other stuff, yr mind is made up and that's cool. But I don't believe it was as cut and dried as you think.

18. No John Kerry kill a child
He directed fire in a free fire zone in the same direction as civilians and a child was killed. Kerry even admitted it.
