VANCOUVER, British Columbia, October 27/04 -- Unlike Election 2000 between George “W” Bush and Al “I Invented The Letter W” Gore, I predict that the race between Bush and John Kerry is not going to end in a photo-finish. This time, I don’t believe that the fate of the nation and the free world will be decided by a handful of senile, incontinent old geezers wheeled out from under a pile of mothballs in some Fort Lauderdale retirement home and straight into the polling booth. Nevertheless, desperate times lead to desperate measures, and in the last stretch of this marathon race, the
‘spinsanity’ has kicked into overdrive.
The battle between conservatism and liberalism can be summed up as one of fact vs. rhetoric. It’s why former British Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, once said: “If you are not a liberal at age 20, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at age 40, you have no brain.” Kerry campaign tactics being used in the waning days of this election perfectly illustrate this sentiment as he trots out every no-brain Hollywood celebrity with a pulse. How can facts ever compete with hysterics like:
“If you want rape to be legal, then don’t vote.” (Cameron Diaz);
“And the rich, corporate, horrible, horrible people who have been destructing and ruining everything this country was made on has been really unbelievably damaging to all of us spiritually, emotionally, monetarily.” (Rosie O’Donnell, who has suffered a net gain of millions under Bush’s Evil Empire)
“All the gay guys, all my friends, all my gay friends, you guys you have got to vote, alright? Because it would only be a matter of time before you guys would be so screwed, I cannot tell you. Because, you know, the people, like, in the very right wing of this party, of these Republicans, the very very right wing, the Jerry Falwell element, if they get any more power, you guys are going to be living in some state by yourselves.” (Cher, looking out for Mary Cheney)
Kerry campaign mascot, Ben Affleck, has figured prominently in Kerry’s final days, as has Bruce Springsteen and Sharon Stone, who blamed President Bush back in August for creating a climate in which she wasn’t given the green light for a lesbian love scene with Halle Berry in the
movie “Catwoman.”
When you turn to the Screen Actors Guild directory, and you roll Bill Clinton -- America’s first ‘black’ President -- off his gurney in the cardiac rehab ward to go stumping for you amongst the bruthas and sistas, you’ve pretty much acknowledged that your campaign can’t possibly count on
using mere facts to win.
The Kerry strategy now seems to consist of nothing more than churning out as much slime and bald-faced lies as it can, while praying that the public will be stupid enough to allow some of it to stick. A New York Times story came out this week suggesting that 380 tons of deadly explosives in Iraq disappeared under Bush’s watch. Reports differ as to whether the weapons went missing before or after the US invasion. This isn’t really the issue. In any case, their disappearance proves once and for all that Saddam Hussein had deadly weapons, that they were mobile, and that they could have been passed off to terrorists at any time. All this shows is that Bush was right in having gone in and removed Hussein from power, and that the world is now a much safer place.
John Kerry is making the weapons issue the focus of an ad blitz this week. According to Kerry logic, people are now supposed to be scared to death of the weapons that Saddam apparently never had, and which Bush then failed
to secure when he went in after these non-existent weapons. What are the odds that this guy can send a strong message to terrorists when he even has difficulty sending a strong, consistent message from one side of his brain to the other?
And right on cue, actress/singer/liberal shill Barbra Streisand sticks her nose into the issue. Despite the fact that the missing weapons issue proves Bush’s point about WMDs in Iraq, that hasn’t stopped Babs from SCREAMING on her website, in BIG BOLD LETTERS: “BUSH FAILED TO SECURE NEARLY 400 TONS OF KNOWN, DEADLY EXPLOSIVES IN IRAQ, AND NOW THEY MAY FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS TO BE USED TO BLOW UP AIRPLANES, LEVEL BUILDINGS AND DETONATE NUCLEAR WEAPONS.”
None of this makes any sense coming from someone who keeps harping on about Bush’s “imaginary weapons of mass destruction”, but WHO CARES! LOOK AT ME! I CAN SING AND ACT! I CAN MAKE MY BOOBS DISAPPEAR IN THE MOVIE YENTIL, BUT I CAN’T PUT TOGETHER A LOGICAL ARGUMENT TO SAVE MY LIFE!
As a political pundit, I would have enjoyed witnessing a battle of rational ideas between Bush and Kerry. By no means has Bush done everything perfectly over the past four years. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I personally disagree with him on issues ranging from certain provisions of the Patriot Act to his policy on illegal immigration. Kerry,
however, has neglected to capitalize on Bush’s biggest weaknesses and, with his changing priorities and inconsistent messaging, has failed to make himself into anything more than an ankle-biter to Bush’s big dog. Kerry’s campaign is to blame, but the buck stops with the candidate. If Kerry can’t even run his own campaign, then he can’t realistically be expected to manage an entire country and the rest of the free world in a time of war.
Yes, Superman died, and people are getting the flu. In a rational, non-politically charged climate, these things wouldn’t normally be blamed on a sitting President. Kerry has one last hope this week to defeat fact and logic with outright lies about Bush. As he runs around the country in
this last week armed with everything from a gun to a dead goose, pandering to everyone in sight, it becomes obvious that his only hope lies in the ability of voters to assimilate toxic levels of BS. In the final analysis, the people will get exactly the President they deserve.

Don't forget the hurricanes. He caused those too.
He has reached quite a powerful status in the minds of Dems, who claim he's too stupid to even read a book.
Well, OK, so Bush created the flu, stole the explosives, single-handedly funneled billions into the hands of The Wealthy, activated volcanoes and hurricanes...wouldn't you want a fellow with this sort of super-powers in the presidency? Of course you would.
I''l take the last line as a compliment, I suppose...
GW did something Lex Luther never could?
Sorry for the tangent, but... does the "pics" rule then apply?
So BUSH made Catwoman suck?
Tell you what, Sharon - film the scene anyway. Make it about 45 minutes long and put out a special "directors cut" dvd. I guarantee you I'll buy a copy, just to show that I care about free speech.
Don't forget that Bush is the reason that all the leaves
are falling off the trees in my Bethesda neighborhood!!!
Oh, no wait. Its actually autumn isn't it.
hehehehehehehe

According to lib/dems, W is Lex Luther....
Kerry has a plan to protect Florida from the dastardly Republican hurricanes Bush keeps sending - The People's Hurrican Fence project to surround the east coast. Check it out on www.communistsforkerry.com.
Oh, then we're gonna need pictures ... !!!!
I told my wife about the billboards being put up on I-4 blaming Bush for the hurricanes. She doesn't believe me.
"Nobody's that stupid"
I've never sent a link to DU post proving that, yes, in fact there ARE people that stupid.
Hey, Clark Kent/George Bush? - both simple monsyllabic names of do-gooders.
Lois Lane/Laura Bush - Lois, Laura? C'mon don't you see?
He really is Superman! Holy Evil James Carville, Batman! This is the real October surprise the MSM doesn't want us to know about. Of course no one will believe me. They never do. But answer me one question, have you ever seen Superman and W in the same room at the same time? Just answer me that one.
On second thought have you ever seen Lex Luthor and James Carville together? (that one has me very worried).
