We all know what a bi-sexual is, right? We've heard the jokes. It doubles your chance for a date, you like to play for both teams, switch-hitters. John Kerry is to politics what a bi-sexual is to sex. He's bi-political.
I have never seen a candidate on both sides of so many issues in my life. Everytime I listen to him my head spins. He changes positions more often than $50 hooker downtown. His latest is a whopper.
Our Pro-Environment, Anti-Big Oil, Pro-NAFTA, Anti-ANWR John "I was in Vietnam" Kerry was endorsed by the AFL-CIO and the Teamsters [who are Not **cough** Special Interests **cough** ].
Why do you suppose he got the unions after a long history of being pro-free trade? Let's ask James Hoffa?
Okay, I don't have access to James Hoffa. So, let's read what Chris Matthews asked him LAST NIGHT.
MATTHEWS: How about ANWR? You guys want to see ANWR because you want to see guys working in your business. I guess there‘s a lot of Teamsters jobs up there lined up and organized, if you could put a pipeline up to the Alaska wilderness. He is against that.HOFFA: Well, we talked about that. He says, look, I am against ANWR, but I am going to put that pipeline in and we‘re going to drill like never before.
HOFFA: ... more jobs than the ANWR would have ever created.
MATTHEWS: What are they going to run through the pipeline?
HOFFA: And that‘s the position he‘s taking.
MATTHEWS: But he is against drilling up there. What are they going to run through the pipeline?
HOFFA: Well, they are going to drill all over, according to him. And he says, we‘re going to be drilling all over the United States. And he says that is going to create more jobs.
Okay, what kind of drillin' could Kerry be for in ANWR and at the same time against drillin' in ANWR.
Maybe Kerry is talking about legalizing prostitution[jobs] and building whorehouses [more jobs] and perhaps Hoffa misunderstood Kerry when he talked about drillin' in ANWR. Could that be it? That would explain why he is now against Free Trade...
Gentlemen Start Your Spinning!
howdy,
I like your site a lot. I am new to this XML Blog stuff. Your's has a kind of style I like, clean and a little lean to the right of center.
Bi-Political is hilarious!
John
Rosemary,
Shhhh....we want the Democrats to stick with this guy; lets not have another Dean on our hands here...we keep destroying these Democratic dwarves, they may eventually end up with someone good....
Bi-political? I love it!
Kind of like George Bush -- fiscal conservative yet the biggest spender since Lyndon Johnson.
Believes in democracy in Iraq yet is going to cut and run on June 30 even though no elections are possible before then.
Touts the Bush Doctrine then gives Musharref a free pass when A.Q. Khan sells Pakistani nuke secrets on the black market to...God knows who.
Compassionate conservative whose Council of Economic Advisors says it's a good thing that jobs are going overseas....
....and on....
....and on...
....and on.
What is it with you people? Is it something in the water that makes you believe in this guy for so long?
If you can find me a $50 hooker, please give me a call. I'm rather short on cash.
Bi-political? Sorta like Clinton, Gore, and most poll-following pols? I don't think Bush is bi-political. I think he's an outright religious and free-market fundamentalist, who parks his fundamentalism at the door whenever a crony or contributor needs a favor.
Even my hero, Dennis Kucinich has changed his stance on a woman's right to choose. I heard the speech where he said he had been convinced by a number of women who he greatly respects. Don't know if he's just trying to become more electable (I don't think he was stupid enough to think that he was electable in '04), but I doubt it. I believe he's seeing a bigger picture as he has been reaching out beyond Cleveland and beyond Ohio to the world at large.
Thank you for clearing this up. I thought I was just getting old and my brain had stopped working. The cognitive dissonance turned out to be doublespeak bipolitical-ness.
Is it black or blue? Kerry, "Yes."
Thought so. Whew.
Kerry is just another former pro-business, centrist Democrat, I believe that is the term, that has seen the liberal Democratic light. Amazing how that happens to so many Dems all at once! Tell me what Lieberman really thinks. I am not quite sure!
There are a number of Dems who happen to see the pro-choice light just around the time they run for president. Quite interesting, is it not?
Wasn't Bush Sr. pro-choice when he ran for the nomination in 1980? He saw the conservative light on that issue rather quickly, did he not? Patrick Toomey in Pa. has also seen the pro-life light as well. He first won in '98 as "the only candidate to defend the woman's right to choose".
Kerry is similar to so many other politicians who sacrifice their own principles to rise to greater power in their party.
Just when is something a special interest? Why are they bad? Is one entity a special interest everywhere or just some places?
Politicians should not only be interested in upholding the Constitution, but also the interests and values of the people they represent, their constituents.
Chris Smith wins in a NJ district that went easily for Gore, because he has always been supportive of unions and workers' rights. Many of the old manufacturing and industrial communities back East see hostility to unions as hostility to their communities, their values, and the people there themselves!
Kerry is no South Boston Democrat. He is not Joseph Moakley. Whose ideas are these of his? If the only rationale for them (not the community he comes from or has represented for many years) is the biggest donors or power brokers of his party, than he represents special interests. I would like someone to show me how Kerry is not guilty of the latter.
The difference is that on the same day that Hoffa said Kerry would drill in ANRW - Kerry's campaign said it was against ANWR.
Same day 2 different positions. Not a mind change - two postions at the same time.
Then he is not honest with someone. You can't be for and against the same action in the same respect at the same time. The question is with whom?
Keep in mind that some might just enjoy sexual pleasures so much that they do not care who provides their jollies, whether their provider be a man or a woman, or, in Santorum's case, a dog. The Kerry comparison is an injustice, to that other type of bi that is!
He never did answer what was going to go through the pipeline, it seems. It sounds as if he wants the enviromental wackos to think he's against drilling in ANWR, but union guys that he's for drilling. Maybe his definition of "I'm against ANWR" is the key.
...on the same day that Hoffa said Kerry would drill in ANWR - Kerry's campaign said it was against ANWR.
Hmm. Given a choice, I'd believe Kerry, since he is the candidate. And if James Hoffa doesn't like it, he can go pound sand down a rat-hole.
