Steel 0 #1 August 9, 2004 Ok I got this email and thought it was just perfect as it puts everything into perspective but I know the lefties will still find a way to have the facts thrown out there and ignore them as they keep repeating their talking points. JOB APPLICATION > >NAME: John Kerry > > > > > >RESIDENCE: 7 mansions, including Washington, DC, worth multimillions. > > >EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: > > >Law Enforcement. I voted to cut every law enforcement, CIA and defense bill in my career as a US Senator. I ordered Boston to remove a fire hydrant which I considered unsightly, in front of my mansion, thereby endangering my neighbors in the event of fire. > >MILITARY: > >I used three minor injuries to get an early discharge from the military and service in Vietnam (as documented by the attending doctor). I then returned to the US, joined Jane Fonda in protesting the war, and insulted returning Vietnam vets, claiming they committed atrocities and were baby killers. I threw my medals, ribbons, or something away in protest. Or did I? My book; Vietnam Veterans Against the War: The New Soldier shows how I truly feel about the military. I deplore the military! > >COLLEGE: > >I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. Unlike my counterpart, George Bush, I have no higher education and did not get admitted to Harvard nor graduate with an M.B.A. > >PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: > >I ran for U.S. Congress and have been there ever since. I have no real world experience except that of a gigolo, by marrying rich women and running HJ Heinz vicariously through my wife Teresa. > >ACCOMPLISHMENTS: > >As a US Senator I set the record for the most liberal voting record, exceeding even Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton. I have consistently failed to support our military and CIA by voting against budgets, thus gutting our country's ability to defend itself. Although I voted for the Iraq War, now I am against it and refuse to admit that I voted for it. I voted for every liberal piece of legislation. I have no plan to help this country but I intend to raise taxes significantly if I am elected. > >My wealth so far exceeds that of my counterpart, George Bush, that he will never catch up. I make no or little charitable contributions and have never agreed to pay any voluntary excess taxes in MA, despite family wealth in excess of $700 million. > >I (we) own 28 manufacturing plants (Heinz) outside of the U.S. in places like Asia, Mexico and Europe. We can make more profit from the cheaper cost of labor in those Countries, although blame George Bush for sending all of the jobs out of Country. > >Although I claim to be in favor of alternative energy sources, Ted Kennedy and I oppose windmills off Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard as it might spoil our view of the ocean as we cruise on our yachts. > >RECORDS AND REFERENCES: > >None. > >PERSONAL > > >I ride a Serotta Bike. > >My Gulfstream V Jet I call The Flying Squirrel. > >I call my $850,000 42-foot Hinckley twin diesel yacht the "Scarmouche." > >I am fascinated by rap and hip-hop and feel it reflects our real culture. > >I own several "Large" SUVs including one parked at my Nantucketsummer mansion, though I am against large polluting inefficient vehicles and blame George Bush for the energy problems. > > >PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004. >If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound. Nothing to eat, no books to read. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflydrew 0 #9 August 9, 2004 QuotePlease do so. For the sake of an objective discussion,which all these "Bash the candidate" discussions end up being, here's Bush's resume... http://www.thousandreasons.org/resume.html George Walker Bush Past work experience: I ran for congress and lost.

I Set record for most executions by any governor in American history. I became president after losing the popular vote by over 500,000 votes, with the help of Republican appointments to the Supreme Court. Accomplishments as president: I attacked and took over two countries. I spent the country's surplus and bankrupted the treasury. I shattered the record for biggest annual deficit in history. I set economic record for most private bankruptcies filed in any 12 month period. I set all-time record for biggest stock market drop in its history. I am the first president in decades to execute a federal prisoner. I am the first president in US history to enter office with a criminal record. In my first year in office set the all-time record for most vacation days taken by any president. After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, I presided over the worst security failure in US history. I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips of any other president in US history. In my first two years in office over 2 million Americans lost their jobs. I cut unemployment benefits for more out of work Americans than any president in US history. I set the all-time record for the most mortgage foreclosures in a 12-month period. I appointed more convicted criminals to administration positions than any president in US history. I set the record for the lowest number of press conferences than any president since the invention of television. I signed more laws and executive orders amending the Constitution than any president in US history. I presided over the biggest energy crises in US history and refused to intervene when corruption was revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in US history and refused to use the national reserves as past presidents have. I cut healthcare benefits for war veterans.

I dissolved more international treaties than any president in US history. My presidency is the most secretive and unaccountable of any in US history. Members of my cabinet are the richest of any administration in US history.. (The 'poorest' multimillionaire, Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named after her).

I presided over the biggest corporate stock market fraud of any market in any country in the history of the world. I am the first president in US history to order a US attack and military occupation of a sovereign nation. I created the largest government department bureaucracy in the history of the United States.

After 18 months I have no leads and zero suspects. I removed more freedoms and civil liberties for Americans than any other president in US history. In a little over two years I created the most divided country in decades, possibly the most divided the US has ever been since the Civil War. I entered office with the strongest economy in US history and in less than two years every economic category plunged. Records and References: I have at least one conviction for drunk driving in Maine (Texas driving record has been erased and is not available). I was AWOL from National Guard.

Let's not resort to the old, it was Clinton's fault bullshit, ok ladies? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #10 August 10, 2004 The fact that anyone can post something stating Bush entered office with a strong economy is utterly flabergasting to me. NOTE TO BUSH-BASHERS: BUSH ENTERED OFFICE WITH AN ECONOMY IN RECESSION. Ignoring the aforementioned will not make it go away.

freeflydrew 0 #11 August 10, 2004 NOTE TO ANVIL: Looks like thats as arguable as anything having to do with the current administration and the last 4 years of US History... (I copied and pasted your statement into google and these are some of the results0 http://slate.msn.com/id/2076134/ Quote In fact, there is no evidence that the economy was in recession when President Bush took the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2001. Yes, growth was slowing, and the longest expansion in American history was running out of steam. But the U.S. economy did not go into recession until Bush's presidency, according to both of the most accepted definitions. One definition of recession is two consecutive quarters with a declining gross domestic product. By this measure, the economy was explicitly not in recession when Bush took the oath of office on Jan. 20. According to the Commerce Department, the economy grew (albeit slowly) in both the third quarter and the fourth quarter of 2000, by 0.6 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively. GDP did decline in the first three quarters of 2001. So Bush would have been accurate in saying that "when I was inaugurated, the economy was three weeks into the first of three consecutive quarters in which GDP declined." That definition of recession is a pretty blunt instrument. It doesn't indicate exactly when a recession begins, which is why economists rely on the more precise measurements of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the official arbiter of recessions and expansions. (Read this "Explainer" to learn how NBER works.) NBER has been run since 1977 by Harvard economist Martin Feldstein, an architect of the Bush tax cut and an intellectual mentor to many prominent Republican policy-makers, including Glenn Hubbard, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. http://money.cnn.com/2002/08/07/news/economy/bush_cheney/ QuoteSince one popular rule-of-thumb definition of a recession is two or more consecutive quarters of shrinking GDP, it became possible, based on the revised data, to say a recession began in January 2001 So whether He took office "in" a recession, or it began right after he took office, do you actually think anything he's doing is helping the economy? Plus, how about the rest of it??? Is it all made up and full of Demokkkratic lies? Or do you want to sit here and squabble over the start of the recession?

TheAnvil 0 #12 August 10, 2004 Yaaawn. Call it headed into recession if you like - I call it recession and have read that it indeed was in recession when he took over - denying that he inherited an economy on a downturn whilst making the claim that Bush destroyed the economy doesn't dazzle me with brilliance of logic in any manner. When did Bush's first budget get enacted? Whose budget led us into the recession? If slate were truly unbiased - it isn't - it might have mentioned those two tidbits of info. Helping the economy, eh? Let's see. - used Taft-Hartley to force the whiners in the ILWU back to work; overpaid crybabies - first tax cut helped us out of the Clinton-Gore recession - recent releases hint at a willingness to look at a Flat Tax or National Retail Sales tax, which I wholeheartedly support Even if he had done nothing at all to help the economy, I would still vote for him over everyone's favorite socialist, Flipper Kerry, as his plans for the economy are goat-fuck stupid on many levels.
