Not fit for president, I guess. I thought this was a satire peice... but apparently not. Al, are you out of your fucking mind? 155867@blogcritics.org Fri, 20 May 2005 19:27:15 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-155858 STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES: John Kerry has discovered that lots of people can't afford healthcare. Further, on this amazing discovery he was such a genius and true lover of mankind that he decided EVERYONE should get health care. We'd already have free universal health care if it wasn't for that shithead Dubya. Damn his hide. Thanks for sharing, Grandpa. PS Are you aware that John Kerry has THREE PURPLE HEARTS!!!! 155858@blogcritics.org Fri, 20 May 2005 19:17:10 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-155251 Last week, John Kerry traveled across the country talking about the importance of securing health care coverage for the 11 million uninsured children in America. He heard firsthand from Americans who are living every day without health care coverage for their children. He listened to doctors who have to compromise on treatments for their patients because the parents can't afford it, to school nurses who on Monday morning are greeted by students with bones broken on Friday night, and to parents who won't let their children play a sport at school... 155251@blogcritics.org Thu, 19 May 2005 11:56:47 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-90128 I think you have a good point. I'm not getting into the argument about who curses worse, Bush or Kerry. Our Vice President famously used the expletive in public against another public official, and it created barely a ripple. I think it does alienate people. I, for one, think there is too much of it. I think it extends beyond politics, too. Using this language seems to me to be a rather infantile way of being emphatic. One would hope we outgrew that locker room type of talk, but alas... I see a lot of it on this site. Frankly, I have a hard time taking the originator of such language seriously. It's just so puerile. It's not good writing or good speaking. 90128@blogcritics.org Tue, 12 Oct 2004 20:12:04 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-90100 Al, I know you're busy campaigning and all, but you might try clicking on the very Kerry website links you provided.

I certainly didn't mean to displease you. What particular statements of mine show me to be "daft" and which show me to be "narrow minded" such as to be pitiable? Like Saddam in the South Park movie, "I Can Change." 51627@blogcritics.org Wed, 17 Mar 2004 12:20:33 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51538 Al barger, thank you for your comment on my youth and potential further education. Atleast, there is still hope for me and I've got youth on my side. Greatness is achieveable for me by my thinking and apparently by yours. You on the other hand..:):):)..smiley faces galore..are another case entirely. If at your age you are really as daft and as narrow minded as you come across, then you are a hopeless case with neither youth on your side nor time to achieve even the average form of greatness. For that, you deserve pity not criticism. A fool at your advanced years is a fool forever. 51538@blogcritics.org Wed, 17 Mar 2004 07:51:47 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51536 JEANMARRY WITH JOHN KERRY FOR A WORLD OF PEACE PEACE SE GAINS!!

He warns there that we have to curb spending over increasing taxes. But it should be known that our record deficit does not include "hundreds of billions of dollars for other costs, such as military expenses in Iraq." Here is a breakdown of tax-cuts from the first site I clicked on... you'll have to check if they are correct (seems a bit left sided)... http://www.ctj.org/html/gwb0602.htm Although I don't have time to check now, I do believe Greenspan warned about the continued tax cuts in W's plan, although I could be wrong and would love to see info either way... 51314@blogcritics.org Tue, 16 Mar 2004 10:27:03 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51310 The great thing about Bush' comments were that they occurred while we were still "undecided" on going to war and giving Iraq a "chance" to avoid it. It was then printed in Time magazine. The weird thing with people and the media is that we find random things to hold onto, and issues that don't matter. Even look at the economy... it's cyclical and no President controls it nearly as much as people think, yet it's one of the top influencers on the election. Bush Sr may have been unlucky in this regard. Although I must add W's tax cuts, clearly aiding the rich more than any other group (he believes too strongly in a trickle down economy), may kill our economy... Greenspan is doing his best to warn us about it (http://money.cnn.com/2004/02/25/news/economy/greenspan/). But our country decides to censor such issues... http://www.moveon.org/cbs/ad/ It would be in bad taste to air such ads when we have beer commercials to fill the void. 51310@blogcritics.org Tue, 16 Mar 2004 10:13:37 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51237 it doesn't matter if pres. bush used the f-word. he is the man of teflon. nothing he does will stick. heck, they could find out the he was doin' the nasty with condi rice and the whistleblower would be told to shut up in the interest of 'national security'. if anything brings him down, it will be the economy. 51237@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Mar 2004 20:29:03 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51228 Look, there are few things on earth I love more than dropping the F-bomb. But, unless the president is addressing say, bin Laden with "Hey you stupid fucker, this is where we blow you up!!," then presidential statesmen should refrain from using such words in print or otherwise. 51228@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Mar 2004 18:53:01 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51174 Bush has used the same word... http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/03/24/timep.saddam.tm/ 51174@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Mar 2004 14:55:48 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51064 Canada's military is wonderful, all three of them... 51064@blogcritics.org Mon, 15 Mar 2004 01:17:33 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51033 Shark- Thanks for taking care of my light work there with young Ms. Smallson. Unlike some of the Blogcritics commenters and really authors for that matter, our Ms. Smallson here CAN at least write a coherent English sentence. Give her a couple years more education to give her a little better clue for content, and I'm sure she'll be great. 51033@blogcritics.org Sun, 14 Mar 2004 23:48:29 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-51026 Qerry has all the right to say whatever he chooses. I just hope he keeps up the good work, then, it will show everyone how FRICKIN stupid he and the Democratic party really is.

R U 2 young to B up this late!? When you turn 16, the law says you have to stop using SMILEY FACES every few sentences and ...LOL! after you make a funny is verboten. Many years ago, Red Skelton was executed for laughing at his own jokes. So lose the cute kiddy stuff and maybe the adults will let you come write at their table on holidays. Some might even read your Faulkner-like ramblings all the way through. Otherwise---- phtttt. 50305@blogcritics.org Thu, 11 Mar 2004 07:51:50 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-50294 I can not believe that this post by Al got so many look-ins and responses. Worse still, I can't believe I am even about to contribute to it. I hang my head in shame. Al's complaint is that Kerry said "fuck". In the last election Bush was also caught swearing ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL when he thought the camera's/mics were off. Another thing that makes this topic something that should have been left to disappear, is the quoting of Matt Drudge. Now, anyone who chooses to solidify their point by quoting the Drudge report needs to be put on the straight and narrow. Only people off their wagons read the Drudge report let alone boldly quote it in a public forum with no shame. Would one rather have a man who swears or a former alcoholic, who has twitches while addressing the world at large that make him look more suited for a psychiatric ward than the White House. Who has a permanent dumb look on his face that it is a herculean effort to listen to him without laughing, infact looks so dumb that your emotions range from pity to love..LOL. Infact, you can't help but like him though you know he has no business being the most powerful man in the world. I mean I know America is the land of hope and dreams and everybody has a chance which is why I will always love America but even I never thought you guys would go to the extents of electing your current President. How y'all looked at him, sized him up, listened to his speeches and his policies and thought to yourselves, this is the man to guide us for the next 4 years, remains a mystery to me and I dare say a majority of the world at large. It did nothing to aid the stereotypical impression of Americans, I can tell you that much. It infact put those of us that defended the general level of intelligence in America in a tough spot. Those who feel the average American is loud but unintelligent felt justified and those of us who feel such generalisations are unfair were left ashamed. Hopefully, this aberration can be resolved come your next election. I don't care how Vain they say Kerry is but please put somebody in there that has a presence, who the world can look at and respect whether he deserves it or not will be seen, but you can't have your main man be a laughing stock. Having said all this, I supported the War:) Atleast something must be said for stupidity. It is in that stupidity that age old rules of diplomacy and International Law were ignored and that Tyrant has been removed. An intelligent President would have had too many thoughts in his head. My darling dubya just could not care less. He can barely contain one thought, let alone several. His point, lets smoke 'em out boys..Dead or Alive..LOL..aahh.It was like a Western movie listening to him during that time:) Aah..good times. 50294@blogcritics.org Thu, 11 Mar 2004 05:22:25 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/09/143720.php#comment-50059 I heard John Kerry flashed his titty when some black woman ripped his shirt off. 50059@blogcritics.org Wed, 10 Mar 2004 12:25:59 EST
