Stretching the cat, is a stretchy cat, Bazel.
Stretching the truth, one Teddy Bare. Here’s some of it thanks to FoxNews.
We bear no ill will toward our opponents. In fact, we’d be happy to have them over for a polite little tea party. I know just the place: right down the road at Boston Harbor.
I know a little history, Boston Tea Party. Kennedy + water = not a viable combination aside from the revolutionary implications.
There’s a reason why this land was called “the American experiment.” If dedication to the common good were hardwired into human nature, we would never have needed a revolution. If each of us cared about the public interest, we wouldn’t have the excesses of Enron. We wouldn’t have the abuses of Halliburton. And Vice President Cheney would be retired to an undisclosed location.
Soon, thanks to John Kerry and John Edwards, he’ll have ample time to do just that.
Now that’s cold.
The eyes of the world were on us and the hearts of the world were with us after September 11th - until this administration broke that trust. We should have honored, not ignored, the pledges we made. We should have strengthened, not scorned, the alliances that won two World Wars and the Cold War.
What he means is suck up to France. Not only did we lose their good will, what there was of it, but we caused France great hardship in ruining their sweet oil deals with Saddam.
Most of all, we should have honored the principle so fundamental that our nation’s founders placed it in the very first sentence of the Declaration of Independence - that America must give “a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind.”
Translation, bow down to France, Germany, Russia and most of all be subservient to the U.N..
We failed to do that in Iraq. More than 900 of our servicemen and women have already paid the ultimate price. Nearly 6,000 have been wounded in this misguided war. The administration has alienated long-time allies. Instead of making America more secure, they have made us less so. They have made it harder to win the real war on terrorism, the war against Al Qaeda. None of this had to happen.
Slap the faces of the millions of Iraqis freed from the despotic regime of Saddam. Pay no attention to the fact Saddam violated numerous U.N. resolutions for years and was an imminent threat to the region. That doesn’t count.
How could any President have possibly squandered the enormous goodwill that flowed to America from across the world after September 11th?
Easy, he wasn’t fooled by their rhetoric.
Most of the world still knows what we can be - what only we can be - and they want us to be that nation again.
America must be a light to the world, and under John Kerry and John Edwards, that’s what America will be.
Controlled by the Internationalists, yes, that’s what it will be.
We need a President who will bind up the nation’s wounds. We need a President who will be a symbol of respect in a world yearning to be at peace again. We need John Kerry as our President.
Yes, the world wants Kerry to be President, Arafat, Iran, North Korea, etc. all have a big stake in Kerry being President not to mention France. Move on to the nanny state pitch.
Time and again in America’s history, we as Democrats have offered new hope - of a stronger, fairer, more prosperous future for all our people, a society that feeds the hungry, shelters the homeless, and cares for the sick - so that none must walk alone.
Tax, spend, regulate up the wazoo, and mustn’t forget the Clinton legacy, HIPPA and Politically Correctness. Back to the digs.
Only leaders who know this history - and abide by the ideals that shaped it - deserve to be trusted with our nation’s future. Sometimes, as in recent years, they have fooled us with their rhetoric. But we will not let them fool us twice.
Wait, the ones fooled are the ones buying the Democrats’ line.
In the White House, inscribed on a plaque above the fireplace in the State Dining Room, is a prayer - a simple but powerful prayer of John Adams, the first president to live in that great house. It reads: “I pray heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and on all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but [the] honest and wise ever rule under this roof.” In November, we will make those words ring true again
A prayer, Democrats aren’t appealing to their base here - the irreligious secularists. And note that dig at the Bush administration, insinuating he wasn’t honest and wise. I see the gloves have been removed.
In the depths of the Depression, Franklin Roosevelt inspired the nation when he said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Today, we say the only thing we have to fear is four more years of George Bush.
Not me, I fear four year without George Bush. Kerry would undo all the good Bush did.
Now it is our turn to take up the cause. Our struggle is not with some monarch named George who inherited the crown.
Although it often seems that way.
Geesh, do these digs at Bush ever stop? Anyway, that’s enough of that gasbag. You can read the full speech at Fox.
