He knows full well that Bush is a moron. posted by: Stephen89702 (reply) post date: 10.29.04 (8:53 am) Reply to: mblog You write: "He knows full well that Bush is a moron." What an asinine remark! Can't you left-wing radical moonbats come up with ANYTHING new or different??? Same old crappy dnc talking points ... did your talking points memo from the dnc this morning tell you to say that??? posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 10.29.04 (9:32 am) mblog must be a kerry butt kisser posted by: mblog (reply) post date: 11.05.04 (12:49 pm) Reply to: Stephen89702 Fine. I'll take the bait. You show me a DNC site that lists that as a talking point. You have a week to show me that you are not a liar. posted by: mblog (reply) post date: 11.05.04 (12:54 pm) By the way, the official transcript is published at MSNBC and it does NOT have the line you highlighted. Liar! posted by: blue (reply) post date: 11.05.04 (1:35 pm) Reply to: mblog If you would read something other than radical left-wing puke you would know that MSNBC took down Kerry's full answer to Brokaw's question. It was all over the blogs just days after the interview. As for DNC talking points - you do a great job of regurgitating them. The blogger on this site said something about "moonbats". If he was refering to you he was being too kind. posted by: Stephen89702 (reply) post date: 11.05.04 (1:45 pm) Reply to: mblog Your should check you facts before you engage in name-calling. A search of cached pages at Yahoo search produced the following interview with Kerry. I am reproducing the entire interview - the part you sauy I'm lying about is near the end. Note also that MSNBC cut out the follow-up question to Kerry about whether he thought Bush was smart. Enjoy! Sen. Kerry: Nation 'is polarized' The challenger on Iraq's missing explosives and Mary Cheney By Tom Brokaw Anchor & Nightly News Managing Editor NBC News Updated: 6:41 p.m. ET Oct. 28, 2004 After starting his day in Ohio, Sen. Kerry brought his campaign to Madison, Wisconsin and one of the largest crowds of the election: more than 80,000 people. advertisement But "the Boss," Bruce Springsteen, may have had something to do with the turnout. He's been raising money for Kerry at concerts and now — in the final days — he's bringing him on, like a rock star. In his appearances Friday, Kerry hit hard on Iraq and economic issues. When we sat down for a formal interview, he continued on the same themes — dismissing suggestions that voters still are not enthusiastic about him. Tom Brokaw: Senator, if things are so wrong in Iraq and in America, why is this election still so close, just the weekend before Election Day? 'The Bush campaign has mostly run a very negative campaign to push the hot buttons of polarization.' — Sen. John Kerry Sen. John Kerry: Because it's polarized. And because the Bush campaign has mostly run a very negative campaign to push the hot buttons of polarization. So it's very hard. Particularly when you're a nation at war. Brokaw: A number of people even in your own party, however, say, "look, it's anybody but Bush." They're still not warming to John Kerry. Kerry: Well, I don't agree with that. Everything in our indicators show differently. The rope lines, the people that I'm meeting around the country. There's an energy out there. Brokaw: This week you've been very critical of the president because of the missing explosives in Iraq.The fact is, senator, we still don't know what happened to those explosives. How many for sure that were there. Who might have gotten away with them? Is it unfair to the president, just as you believe he's been unfair to you, to blame him for that? Kerry: No. It's not unfair. Because what we do know, from the commanders on the ground, is that they went there, as they marched to Baghdad. We even read stories today that they broke locks off of the doors, took photographs of materials in there. There were materials. And they left. Brokaw: The flip side of that is that if you had been president, Saddam Hussein would still be in power. Because you... Kerry: Not necessarily at all. Brokaw: But you have said you wouldn't go to war against him... Kerry: That's not true. Because under the inspection process, Saddam Hussein was required to destroy those kinds of materials and weapons. Brokaw: But he wasn't destroying them... 'We might have gone to war. But if we did... we'd have gone to war with allies in a way that the American people weren't carrying the burden.' — Sen. John Kerry Kerry: But that's what you have inspectors for. And that's why I voted for the threat of force. Because he only does things when you have a legitimate threat of force. It's absolutely impossible and irresponsible to suggest that if I were president, he wouldn't necessarily be gone. He might be gone. Because if he hadn't complied, we might have had to go to war. And we might have gone to war. But if we did, I'll tell you this, Tom. We'd have gone to war with allies in a way that the American people weren't carrying the burden. And the entire world would have understood why we were doing it. Brokaw: Let me ask you about social and domestic issues. Your colleague from Massachusetts, Senator Ted Kennedy, says that he's proud to be a liberal. Are you proud to be a liberal? Kerry: That depends on what the issue is, Tom. I've always hated labels. And I don't abide by labels. You know, I'm an ex-prosecutor. I've sent people to jail for the rest of their life. I've busted up the number-two organized crime figures' organization in New England. What does that make me? I led the fight to put 100,000 cops on the streets of America. What does that make me? MSNBC COMPLETE ELECTION COVERAGE • NBC's FIRST READ: The day in politics • MAKING YOUR VOTE COUNT: How to register • DEMOCRACY PLAZA: Celebrating democracy • SLIDESHOW: See and hear what the candidates said today • INTERACTIVE: Run your own campaign • VIDEO: Top election videos of the day • FULL COVERAGE Brokaw: But you don't deny your liberal credentials. Kerry: On certain issues, I'm a liberal, Tom. On certain issues I'm a conservative. I'm a fiscal conservative. I believe in balancing the budget. And we worked at it, and we did it in the 1990's. You know, like Franklin Roosevelt said, I really don't care if a good idea is Republican or Democrat. I care whether it works for America. And that's what I'm gonna do as president. Brokaw: You're very protective of your family, and very proud of them, I know. Do you regret invoking Mary Cheney in your debate with President Bush? Kerry: No. I… Brokaw: You don't regret it at all? 'All I was trying to do was honor the reality that people are who they are. And they're a very prominent family, where that reality has been faced and embraced.' — Sen. John Kerry Kerry: Tom, it was done with respect, and it was done with pure sense of admiration for Dick and Lynne Cheney, who I think obviously love their daughter and are very proud of their daughter. She's made it a public thing. He's made it a public thing. I could have and should have perhaps mentioned Dick Gephardt, who honors his daughter. And loves her, in the same way. Brokaw: Someone has analyzed the President's military aptitude tests and yours, and concluded that he has a higher IQ than you do. Kerry: That's great. More power. I don't know how they've done it, because my record is not public. So I don't know where you're getting that from. Brokaw: Do you think he's a smart man? Kerry: I do. Yes, I do think he's a smart man. Brokaw: Do you think too many people in your party underestimate? Kerry: I think people have always underestimated President Bush. But I'm proud that in those debates, I didn't underestimate him. Brokaw: Senator, I'm going to see the President over the weekend. Anything you want me to convey to him? Kerry: Just say hello to him, and we'll chat on Tuesday. Brokaw: I'll say to him what I'm going to say to you. Good luck. Kerry: Thank you, sir. Brokaw: Thank you. © 2004 MSNBC Interactive posted by: Stephen89702 (reply) post date: 11.05.04 (2:58 pm) Reply to: mblog You write: "Fine. I'll take the bait. You show me a DNC site that lists that as a talking point. You have a week to show me that you are not a liar." Do your understand satire? Or are you so bitter that all you know is wallowing in self-pity? posted by: mblog (reply) post date: 11.07.04 (8:30 pm) Reply to: mblog I understand satire. I also understand ignorance and stupidity. I'll take the bait again. If it's satire, then what were you satirizing? If you can't tell me, then it would be pure stupidity instead, right? Or are you having trouble understanding that too? You seem to be the bitter one. Bush tells lies so big that you can drive a truck through them, and it really bugs you that you can't find the same for Kerry. So you have to stretch beyond credulity instead. Saying that not releasing an aptitude test means he did not release his military records is like saying that Bush did not release his tax records because they did not have his personal phone number on it. This has nothing to do with his military service and you know it. You can only stretch so far before you show yourself for what you are. It finally came out that the military was fully aware of the ammunition stolen in Iraq, it happened right in front of the eyes of the soldiers guarding it, and they could do nothing because their military superiors ignored their request for more support. So the administration knew all along, and Bush was lying again when he blamed Kerry for criticizing him. Hom much more nerve can you have than to be wrong about something, lie about it, and then blame somebody else for your screw up? No wonder you are so bitter. Our President is a liar and an incompetent leader, and you can't figure out how to blame the other side for Bush's problems. By the way, you can always get a dictionary if you'd like to know what satire means. posted by: Stephen89702 (reply) post date: 11.08.04 (4:53 am) Reply to: mblog You were and are the focus of the satire. "Talking Points"? It's time for you to grow up and get over whatever creates such hate and discontent in you. Once again, I have never said I support Bush. You can rant & rave all you want but you will never find an endorsement from me for Bush. There is a column I quoted that says vote for Bush, but it plain that it is not my endorsement but that of the author. Have you been in the military? It does not seem so. Kerry has never and will never release his military records because he received less than an honorable discharge. All he needed to do was sign form 180 (like Bush did) to release his records. I was in the military and if I was running for office I would have no problem signing form 180. So what is Kerry hiding? Or what was he hiding as it makes little difference now. And last -- you are the proto-typical left-wing camp follower. When you are proved wrong you change the subject to something totally unrelated to the topic at hand. I have nothing to be bitter about. You seem to have plenty of bitterness and hate. Remember, I didn't call you or anybody else a liar. You have been the one calling names - a sure sign of a great mind. |
