I haven't started one of these before, but I thought a live discussion thread might be appropriate. Post away!

[Dilbert56]

He's a closer - without the "c".

[Murph]

This is a dreadful performance by THE MOST REPREHENSIBLE MAN EVER TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.

I feel your sentiment, Sinkspur -- but I'd have to reserve that title for BJ42, who wasn't just a lying traitor, but who PROVED for 8 years to be a an extremely clever, skillful, and effective agent of evil -- who methodically screwed this country almost beyond redemption -- and the state of Arkansas before that.

Yes, Kerry is surely a pathetic loser who has turned against the US and would continue to do so in the Oval Office; but at this point I'd say the "bent one" has him beat. I pray we'll never know for sure.

[ApplegateRanch]

told me she had a "John Kerry tooth". I love to see a parent in this day & age doing a GOOD job of raising their kid(s) Right!

[Finalapproach29er]

Teeth are unaturally white. Looks more horsey than usual.

I've been choked up all day about that American who had his head sawed off. You just made me LOL for the first time today.

[greasepaint]

This is pre-agreed-to bs.
What did you expect?

Got a photo?

I don't know where HawaiianGecko got the information but I know I've read something very similar here on FR, oh, about 1 year ago.

You can search FR under Halliburton and there's quite a bit of good reading there if you have the time and really want to build a case of vindication.

All that said, I'd also like to have a source for that succinct statement HawiianGecko made and add it to my bookmarks for the same reason as you patriciaruth. It's a good'un!

[Boomer Geezer]

I thank you too for that URL!

[Bonaparte]

"He can't keep on a single thought. He jumps all over the place."

Weld debated him about 6 times in Massachusetts. Said kerry was a "good debter" but strayed from subject and used convoluted sentences.

[Finalapproach29er]

What did you think about this American getting his head sawed off?

I questioned today why God would allow something so cruel.

Terrible day.

[Finalapproach29er]

or maybe cancer drugs?

[Bonaparte]

"He is a trainwreck waiting to happen in the debates."

He's hollow and therefore full of pretense. He often can't guage how he's coming off with people. I've watched so many of his statements fall flat even with highly sympathetic audiences. He confuses many people. They don't know what to make of him.

The Bush team will take full cognizance of these and other weaknesses in kerry's make-up as they plan for the debates. A man who has no center, no core, can be led into traps through his blind spots.

I'm not as up to date on Halliburton as most of you FReepers, could you explain why no-one else can do what Halliburton does or direct me to a site please. My roomie is asking and I just told him so far that they have a lot of experience and that Clinton gave them no bid contracts but other than that I do not know.

Here's the deal on Haliburton:

Haliburton got the contract because it won the bid for the LOG-CAP program in 2001. LOG-CAP stands for US Military LOGistics Civilian Augmentation Program in other words, the company the military has handle a lot of it's logistics stuff. The program was created in the early 90's. Haliburton won the first bid, lost it in 1998 or so and won it back again in 2001. If you are in a war and need someone to do a job, it makes sense to have the extensive bidding process done before things go boom. Clinton, under this same exact program, awarded Haliburton a "no bid" contract for the Kosovo war to help with troop supplies and other things. Haliburton also was the company hired to put out the oil well fires during the first Gulf War. To say that Haliburton was awarded work through unscrupulous methods is simply untrue. They DID bid for the work - ahead of time.

Kerry's "Top Ten Bush Tax Proposals" were:

10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. presidents.
9. W-2 Form is now Dubya-2 Form.
8. Under the simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.
7. The reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it just makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.
6. Attorney General Ashcroft gets to write off the entire U.S. Constitution.
5. Texas Rangers can take a business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.
4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa to cover the whole damn thing.
3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent.
2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it "nuclear" instead of "nucular."
1. George W. Bush gets a deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

I wonder if the collagen and the botox got into a fight under kerry's skin!

[OldFriend]

Kerry looks like a marionette. Those jerky hand movements are so uncoordinated.

[OldFriend]

Hagel and McCain seem to be coordinating with the DNC. That's more troubling than Rathergate, IMO.

[OldFriend]

Trouble is just last week Kerry was complaining that billions of dollars are still unspent in Iraq.
