If Bush sounds too dumb to be president, it’s because he is

By Jesus Chrysler

You are kidding right? John Kerry craves attention? George W lied to us so he could invade a country that had NO ties to 9/11 just for his father’s approval. I mean everything he does says "daddy look at me". His invasion of Iraq was an adolescent cry for attention. Granted most kids get their ear pierced at 16. Not ‘ol W, he tried doing drugs and getting arrested for drunk driving, TWICE. None of that worked. So we are in a war and people are dead all because daddy Bush never told W he loved him. The family needs Therapy, maybe Doctor Phil can help them. Isn’t he a “cowboy” too? I don’t mean cowboy cowboy, I mean the Bush kind of cowboy. You know the ones, born in Connecticut with a silver spoon in their mouths and grow up to attend Ivy League schools, you know, Cowboy. What a joke. He plays dress up, cowboy, fighter pilot, now president. I can swear I saw him dressed like an American Indian once too, but then he learned they were considered heathens so he stopped using that one.

Sorry if John Kerry’s memory of events that took place during war, 35 years ago are a little foggy. I'm sure George W's memories of 35 years ago or a little foggy too only his are due to drugs and booze. Plus I'm sick of people picking apart every move John Kerry made while he was in Viet Nam. AT LEAST HE WAS THERE! Bottom line. Bush has no problem finding people to say John Kerry didn't do this and didn’t do that, while in Nam, but can't seem to find ONE person to vouch that he showed up for National Guard duty in Alabama or Texas. That's because he couldn’t even do that for his country, he was AWOL or excuse me, he was at Harvard business school. If I were at Harvard I’d separate myself from that fact. He couldn’t even find oil in Texas. Sounds like a metaphor, but sadly it isn’t. I mean after all, every corporation Bush has ever attempted to run has ended in bankruptcy. Just like he is doing to this country both morally and financially!

The other fault you find with Kerry is that he hates to lose. Gee, what a bad quality to have in a president. I think it would be a refreshing change to the born loser we have in office now. Bush will never re-evaluate the facts and form an educated decision. He calls that flip flopping the rest of us call it intelligence. Kerry may hate to lose, but is smart enough to see when he is losing, and change his approach. Not Bush, he'll stick to his decision, even though it was made with bad intelligence, till the end and in the process create more hate for the U.S. Send and keep Americans in harms way. Not to mention is inability to stop and re-evaluate his choice has led to the creation of thousands of new terrorists thus making us less safe. He has done the exact opposite of what he is claiming to be doing.

Bush’s great Harvard business sense and Yale C average is also responsible for the conditions of the economy, unemployment, & gas prices. Not to mention his religion, that he wears on his sleeve. "The jury is still out on that" referring to evolution!?! Gee no wonder he is doing his best to stop stem cell research and is on a crusade in the Middle East. The head of the free world doesn’t believe in science. Nor does he believe in the separation of church and state or the Bill of Rights for that matter. Now that is scary. He claims to be this big religious guy, yet has no problem allowing Iraqi men, women, and children to be tortured and killed. I guess they don't count because they don't believe in HIS god. Just like everything else in Bush’s life either you agree with him, or you are wrong. He knows what’s best for you, not you.

Funny how he has become the person he said we were to fear, a brutal dictator that has forced his will on the innocent Iraqi and American people and is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Iraqi's. The only difference is that you can also add just fewer than 1000 American deaths to Bush's list.  Kerry may not fall, but we all know Bush does. Like when he rides a bike, or eats a pretzel. Yeah you have a real brain trust in W there.

I have to much faith in my fellow Americans to even worry about Bush getting elected, that’s right I said elected, after all he wasn’t elected in 2000 he lost the popular vote and was appointed president by the supreme court. Listen to the polls about this year’s race and it looks like a race. That’s just TV. Kerry will win in a land slide come November. Hell, I’ll bet you Kerry wins Florida and Texas too. Ya know why? Because He’s the better man. He’s the better human being and the world will be a much better and safer place with John Kerry as president.
