The Guild 8-29-2003 Say Goodbye to Summer

[Iowa Granny]

Oh deliver me from this. Kerry is opening is announcement with a prayer from the (black) gunner who was positioned above him in Nam. How opprotunistic can you get?

[lodwick]

Poor lurch - he's just as electable as am I.

Nitwit.

...although Mrs.lurch would be a hoot in the White House.

Cheers up there.

[lodwick]

Huh! I just learned that the Iowa Presidential watch is headquartered in Webster City - one of the stops we'll be making this fall.

They need to get on-line donating capabilities, imo.

[Iowa Granny]

send them a note via their "contact us" icon. The suggestion for on line donation capabilities is a good one, and will be accepted better coming from a Texan than from me. I'm too bossy, ya know.

[lodwick]

Done, Boss.

R.A.Wilson announces his candidacy for Govenor

My party, the Guns and Dope Party, invites extremists of both right and left to unite behind our shared goals of:

Get those pointy-headed Washington bureaucrats off our backs and off our fronts too!

Guns for everybody who wants them; no guns for those who don't want them.

Drugs for everybody who wants them; no drugs for those who don't want them.

Freedom of choice, free love,free speech, free Internet and free beer.

California secession -- Keep the anti-gun and ant-dope fanatics on the Eastern side of the Rockies.

Lotsa wild parties every night by gun-toting dopers.

Animal protection -- Support your right to keep and arm bears.

More position papers will follow; we know at least 69 good positions.

Learn more here.

Where do you get this stuff?

Wish you were here. Much to do today, and you obviously have time on your hands. ;>) I could use some help. I'm only here to rest my back a bit.

[lodwick]

Heheh...I have GOT to get busy and stop playing.

Ripping off all the baseboards, caulking things up, go get new baseboard, prime, paint and try to have ready for the trim carpenters later this week.

Prepare to go to GA this weekend...give me a break.

Trust me, I wish I were anywhere but here.

A Kerry question:

Isn't it in the Dem Bible that Bush's tax cuts only helped the rich?

Then how can Kerry now claim that he wants to KEEP those cuts that helped the middle class...ie, he wants to cancel tax cuts only for the rich?!

I wonder if there's a Kerry quote out there claiming the tax cuts only helped the rich.

[Iowa Granny]

Sorry. I am not a student of Kerry. All I know about him is he looks French and has a rich, goofy wife.

If you find the answer to your question, please post it here.

[lodwick]

Still screwing off here...

Q: How will you balance the budget?

A: The first thing we have to do is to roll back the Bush tax cut for the wealthiest Americans. Fiscally responsible tax cuts for working families can grow the economy, but there is no excuse for special tax cuts for the rich. Then we can create jobs and invest in our people. With the right economic plan, we can turn our economy around, invest in people and reduce deficits all at the same time.

I have never heard of this party. Is this one of dos dem dare satires that I sometimes think are true? hee hee....

The French looking candidate (John F.Kerry) is just an around guy...why he drinks beer and carries his own luggage....And get this-his lovely wife passes out homemade brownies on the campaign plane too. Did she bake them or did Alice B. Toklas bake them...Maybe JF Kerry just had not had a homemade anything in a long time cause that is what he is doing in the photo, lurging over everyone to grab a brownie!!!

Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Senator John Kerry (R) reaches after his wife Teresa Heinz Kerry (L) to get a brownie as she passes out homemade brownies to members of the media aboard his campaign plane September 1, 2003 enroute from Washington, D.C. to Charleston, South Carolina. Kerry will officially announce his campaign for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination in South Carolina on September 2. REUTERS/Jim Bourg Email Photo

"Homemade" brownies made by one of her full-time cooks, no doubt. And is John Forbesgerald Kerry drinking an imported beer? For shame, John - thousands of American beer makers - union members all - say shame!

[daisyscarlett]

I can't see the beer label enough to read it but I sure hope he left it on the plane. Iced tea is what most S. Carolinians admit to as their favorite beverage.

And what's with Mrs. K.? I have seen her look a lot better with well coifed hair and nice looking pantsuits. Kinda drab looking...again, black pantsuits do better in the Northeast...not the deep South.

Change of subject: Keep a look see for reports of Chelsea going to GASP work. She is due to start her Manhatten dream job this month...Alas, poor Ian will return to Oxford..guess he is actually going to try to get a degree from Oxford. Chels' online bio now states: Completed two years at Oxford. Note the absence of the word degree or graduation.

Ha! I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

Well, this is a Dead Giveaway as to WHAT they're really all about

The League can claim they are non partisan until the cows come home. I've been around long enough to know otherwise.

They are Libs, Libs, Libs. Perhaps it isn't this way everywhere, but I've had enough experience with them here in Iowa to assure you the Iowa League is nothing but a trough of Feminazis.

Back to this renegging on the tax cut matter.

Mr Kerry claims to want to eliminate the Bush Tax Cut for the rich. If any of you get the opportunity to pose a question to Mr Kerry, ask him to define RICH. We need to know exactly where he's drawing the line between middle class and rich.

The Middle Class is, by far, the largest block of tax payers in the U.S. Elimiating the tax cut for 'the Rich' will not produce enough money to mail out the notices to these people that their tax cut has been grabbed back.

Quite frankly, I seriously doubt the Kerry Campaign has even crunched the numbers on this. It's nothing but WORDS. They haven't got a clue as to what a pitance would be saved by eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the 'rich'.

*Somewhere I read a definition of Rich,,,the definition included couples with 2 children bringing in more than $40,000.

[mountaineer]

so that votes can be based on issues rather than on personalities and popularity.

This also is a dead giveaway, because we know that none of the Dem contenders has any personality whatsoever. Okay, maybe Sharpton.

[lodwick]

Nationally, the League is wacky.

They are pushing for the paperless ballots...when and if that becomes a fait acompli, we had all best spend our time and efforts at the rifle range.

I just heard on the radio that several of the local leagues are up in arms over the national position on paperless voting - may their voices be heard.
