Guess I'm on a tear now. So for clarification, the following is my opinion , and only my opinion, of which I am entitled to. Fortunately the people who know me, know that I can be extremely opinionated and terribly vociferous when something strikes me as just totally stupid, and Honey, those remarks by John Kerry did it.
I can't believe that idiot would get up in public and make such a stupid, totally obscene remark like he did.
Him, and idiots like him are the reason the Republicans have such an easy time of gaining control. Just about the time you think the Democrats have learned to be a bit more circumspect, some idiot like John Kerry comes along and blows them out of the water.
You know the biggest problem with the Democrats? They are their own worst enemy. The Republicans really don't have to work too hard to beat them, they beat themselves.
Take last election for example. They had a couple of fairly decent candidates, the best of whom was John Edwards, and then they decided to nominate John Kerry. Are you freaking kidding me? John Kerry? Supporter of the working man? Yeah right. working on his rich man image more than anything. Jesus, he's married to a billionaire heiress. Can we say gigolo? Friend of the working man my ass.
If the Dems had been even remotely intelligent, they would have nominated John Edward and left Kerry to wallow in his billions.
People keep screaming it's time for a change. It certainly is. Time to put the boot to the fat assed idiots who have been taking up space and very little else in Congress, like Ted Kennedy.
And for all my gay and lesbians readers and friends, you can't possibly believe that putting a Democrat in office is really going to further your cause and grant you any more equality than you have now? Everyone of them talk a great talk to win votes, but when it gets right down to it, they aren't going to fight for your rights any more than the Republicans have.
Unless and until politicians decide to grow a pair,(and that includes the Senator from New York, who obviously was the only member of the last first family to have any)and say what they really feel, instead of what the religious right want them to say, you're never going to gain anything.
I wonder when voters in this country are going to get their heads out of their collective asses and vote for a candidate based on his/her stand on the issues, and not on their party affiliation.
My guess is never. Having a mind of your own is not PC. Being a sheep, who follows the dictates of the religious right has worked so far, so why take the initiative and thumb your nose at them?
How about the candidates opening up their eyes and realizing that there is a whole country of voters who don't let religion dictate their votes? Not many, mind you, but the numbers are growing.
I have an idea, let's nominate an Atheist. Hell, he/she can't do any worse of a job than what the political parties are offering us, right? Right.
