I think Bush has Kerry beat in the flip-flop department too. The biggest difference is most of Kerry's alleged "flip-flops" were nothing of the sort. They were just more empty character assassination by the BushCo slime machine, specializing in playing simple-minded folks who struggle to think in even black and white terms, let alone the full spectrum we find in the real world. There are a lot of solid reasons to criticize Kerry. "Flip-flopping" wasn't one of them.

For the record, your Kerry-bash remains pure partisan hypocrisy. A person with more character would concede this, mumble at least some sort of a half-apology, and abandon his lame thread instead of continuing to flog his spite.

Someone's got to laugh at trolls like you. It's a fun job, but somebody's gotta do it. :laugh:

Now, since you opened your mouth, and you've probably already removed the last foot, why don't you address the meat of the post you snipped from. ntdz's said Kerry was wrong on the facts. I don't have the info to disprove it, but I don't take anything from Drudge at face value.

Assuming he is right, and Kerry's figures were wrong, try discussing the relative consequences of those inaccuracies compared to a positive declaration that Saddam had WMD's, or that he was dealing with Al Qaeda before the war, or that Bush promised to get rid of anyone who disclosed Valerie Plame-Wilson's identity.

I'll be interested in seeing if you can manage something a bit deeper than your standard BS neocon slogans on that.

Thank you for threadcrapping with irrelevant BS about Rove and the rest of that.

Nobody's answered the questions about Asians.

1. Are asians minorities?
2. If so, why weren't they included in this figure?
3. If so, is their exclusing misleading?

I'm not surprised you dont believe anything that doesn't fit your liberal agenda.

Bush supporters complaining about someone other than Bush who mis-spoke... that is funny

I guess Kerry supporters won't be saying stuff either from now on.

Gotta love the man and his last ditch filibuster that couldn't even round up his own party! :laugh:

The man couldn't run 44 Senate Democrats, half of which are drinking buddies like Teddy Kennedy, hows he gonna run the country?


zendari, i know the truth hurts but do you really want to compare Bush to Kerry on speaking skills? the point was that the right making fun of someone on the left for an error while speaking is funny as hell. I tend to hold the leader of our country to a higher standard it is clear you do not (atleast when your guy is in office)

I would expect the people bashing bush for nucular would be bashing kerry for this. For some reason that isn't the case.

Lets see here..

Kerry misses a word then he is an idiot

Bush messes up paragraphs and he is an intellectual giant.

Don't you remeber a year or two ago when Bush tried to define what the word sovereign meant?

As usual, you're sitting there, piddling over who mispronounced which word and distracting from the subject of ntdz's op, the importance of Kerry's factual accuracy, and by extension the importance of factual accuracy in statements by any political leader. I still haven't seen you address my previous question to you about that so, and I know you have a very short attention span, so I'll repeat it.

Assuming Kerry was wrong about the percentage of highschool students who graduate, try discussing the relative significance and consequences of Kerry's inaccuracies comared to Bushwhacko's intentional lies when he declared that Saddam had WMD's and that he was dealing with Al Qaeda before the war, or when he promised to get rid of anyone in his administration who disclosed Valerie Plame-Wilson's identity.

If you can't address the subject of the thread, you're still just trolling. 😛

At least for me, those two events aren't comparable. If John Kerry starts making up words and Bush misquotes some census study, I would definitely be laughing at Kerry more than Bush. It's simply funnier. You seem to think that we make fun of Bush because of political reasons but I remember the times when there were numerous parodies were made for Clinton regarding the Monica thing.

Someone put this fool out of his misery.

OMG, he misspoke! He forgot the word "more"!
Someone needs to put this thread out of its misery.

Where would the word "more" be put it to make his idiotic sentence make sense?

You are correct. "More" wouldn't have been the right word...

But after 10 seconds of research... he forgot the word "MINORITY".

You can count on Drudge to stretch the truth.

And people like ntdz to post it.

Yes, in order to show "we need people like him to remind the avg citizen why the democratic party has turned into a joke.
" :disgust:
Bushies employing their usual slur and run tactics. Nothing new here.

1. Asians are considered a minority by population in the USA but not a 'underprivileged minority' which is what the term 'minority' is commonly assumed to be in politics.
2. See above.
3. See above

Oh, and of course you have to bring up Bush. He has nothing to do with Kerry's comments and he still finds his out into the thread.
That's due to your blatant partisan hypocrisy, ripping Kerry for one misstatement yet ignoring the fact that your boy is a sputtering idiot.

Don't misunderestimate his strategery.🙂

Hi zenny,
If it was JUST nuke-u-lear, it wouldn't be a big issue, but let me break out some of the chimp in charge's greatest hits for you goosestepping talking heads.


To change how we power our homes and offices, we will invest more in zero-emission coal-fired plants, revolutionary solar and wind technologies, and clean, safe nukyular energy 2006 State of the Union Address, Jan. 31, 2006

Uhh -- Gosh, I -- don't think I ever said I'm not worried about Osama bin Laden. It's kind of one of those, uhh, exaggerations.
-- To quote Dubya (3/13/2002): "I -- I'll repeat what I said. I truly am not that concerned about him." Third Presidential Debate, Tempe, Arizona, Oct. 13, 2004

JOHN KERRY: We're gonna build alliances. We're not gonna go unilaterally, we're not gonna go alone like this President did.
CHARLES GIBSON: Mr. President, let's extend for a minute.
DUBYA: Let me just -- I've gotta answer this.
GIBSON: Exactly. And with Reservists being held on duty and --
DUBYA: Let me answer just, what he just said about going alone.
GIBSON: [obscured] Well, I wanted to get into the issue of the backdoor draft.
DUBYA: You tell Tony Blair we're going alone! Tell Tony Blair we're going alone!
-- Dubya blows a few gaskets in the Second Presidential Debate, St. Louis, Missouri, Oct. 8, 2004 listen to the chimp

INSANA: Mr. President, today is the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing and a lot of people are reflecting on that act of terrorism --
DUBYA: Yes.
INSANA: -- that occurred a decade ago, one that we almost forget in light of what's happened since. Can I get your reflections on that event and what it means still even to the war on terror, even if that's a domestic rather than international issue?
...
DUBYA: It goes to show that violence can erupt anywhere, any time, and, and as a society we've got to be diligent to those who would try to harm us. It also goes to show that terrorist acts not only come from abroad but can come here at home. The positive news in this instance is the City of Oklahoma came together in strong compassion and decency and care and hope for those who suffered, and our justice system worked.
-- Dubya reflects on the "City of Oklahoma bombing", Interview with Ron Insana of CNBC, Apr. 19, 2005

DUBYA: So what state is Wales in?
CHURCH: It's a separate country next to England.
DUBYA: Oh, okay.
-- Exchange between Dubya and Welsh teenage singing sensation Charlotte Church, as reported in MSNBC, Oct. 31, 2001
