Republicrat vs. Democan
www.businessweek.com ^ | Ciro Scotti

Posted on 10/01/2004 12:23:03 PM PDT by crushelits

Get past the bluster and bile, and the two products of privilege who each want to be the next President aren't all that different. How sad

Last night was Debate Night USA. Perhaps you tuned in. But what did America really see after months of endless campaigning, hundreds of millions of dollars lavished on attack ads, and enough cheap talk (as my mama used to say) to drive any sane citizen off the nearest bridge?

You don't agree? Let's look at the Tale of the Presidential Tape.

Bush is 58. Kerry is 61.

Both went to New England prep schools (Bush to Andover, from which both his father and Kerry's father graduated. Kerry to St. Paul's).

Both went to the same college (Yale).

Both joined the same secret society (Skull & Bones).

Both served in the military. Bush was an officer in the Air National Guard (a good way to avoid Vietnam combat). Kerry was an officer in the U.S. Navy (usually a safer alternative than the Army in those days).

This is why Nader needs to be added to the debates immediately!

No difference? How about tax cuts? Supreme Court nominees? That's just two examples of many.

It was rather dull, watching two guys argue about how to best implement the same bad idea.

Bush believes in the sanctity of life. Kerry is a big fan of partial birth abortions.

Bush was not afraid to make the difficult decision to send troops to Iraq. Kerry is not afraid of being manscaped just about every damn afternoon.

Bush believes that we, the people, should be allowed to keep some of our hard earned money. Kerry wants to see 20% of America financially supporting the other 80% of America.

I could go on but I think you get what I'm saying. They're not exactly twins, are they?

Someone in the media can be counted on to come out with an article along the lines in every election, if it looks like the democrat is going to lose.

If that's all Ciro Scotti looks at, it no wonder he sounds like and is such an idiot. I bet he thinks his article was cute, you know, tongue-in-cheek. All it does is emphasise his stupidity - and that's from either viewpoint (dem or pub). That article was definitely a piece of crap.

I read the article now I Know for sure it's crap.

Businessweek.com = Liberalcrap.com

Scotti would say the Pope and Charles Manson were the same because,
1. they are both Men
2. they were born on the same planet
3. they both breathe air and walk upright
4. they both have Christian Names

etc. ect. etc. CRAP.

Business Week is a business magazine that has a very jaundiced view of capitalism. And, therefore, of freedom.

For me the highlight of the evening was when Lehrer quizzed both candidates about America's border policy.
