The Johns ... Pontificating Paradigms Of Perfection!
By Debbie Daniel (08/15/04)
John Kerry says, “I’ve got BIG cards to play. You must judge me on my thirty-five years of public service; vote for me, and then I’ll put my plan before the people. But I’m not going to give it away before then.”
Well gee, I can’t wait. Let me vote now, Senator.
Excuse me, but for someone who won’t even turn over his military records, isn’t it a bit presumptuous to ask people to vote for you when you won’t tell us what you’re going to do about terrorism; you’re “not showing your cards” until you’re elected President?
Hmm, that makes us feel good.
You’ve also promised ten million new jobs to Americans when you become President, and they’ll be good paying jobs, too. Goodness, Mr. Kerry, you’ve been in a position to make laws and bring issues to the floor of the Senate for the past 20 years – why did you keep this wonderful plan to yourself? We have Americans that could have used those good jobs.
Do I get the idea that you really didn’t want to do anything “special” for the American people until you became President and could sign your name to it? What kind of Senator is that?
What a salesman! Step right up, come on in, the candy store is open. I have everything you want. If I don’t have it, I’ll get it for you. But, shhh, we can’t talk about it till I become President. (???)
We’re told by the Kerry campaign that we need to “Believe in America . . . it can be better,” but which of the Americas are we suppose to believe in? John Edwards speaks of two Americas, but has promised when John Kerry becomes President, we’ll all be ONE.
Now that’s some POWER for mortal man! Can I touch you, Senator? Will this “coming together” happen as soon as you say: “So help me, God” or should we wait a couple of days before we declare we’ve found each other again?
Oh, to think that we can finally be one America!
Actually, I didn’t know we were so divided until I realized how you and Little John were causing “the division.” That’s all you’ve talked about . . . two Americas. Does just saying it, make it so?
Is that how it was when you came back from Vietnam? Because you said things happened, did that make it so? You demoralized our troops with your accusations against them; and indeed you made deeper wounds than any bullet could penetrate.
But when you “pontificate” with those self-aggrandizing tones as the Great John Kerry, I really wonder who you’re fooling.
Now, Mr. Kerry, at the convention you “pooh-poohed” the idea that when George Bush said something . . . it made it so. But when you say it’s so . . . that’s different, right?
Well, Mr. Pontificator, which is it?
Why is it alright for you to say “it’s so,” but George Bush can’t? Who are you anyway? What a strange duck!
Big John and Little John seem to be setting themselves up for perfection personified. At every venue you hear them say, “When we’re in charge . . . When John becomes your leader . . . We’ll do it this way.” They seem to know how to be President.
How in the world can anyone say what he would, or wouldn’t do, unless he actually walked in those shoes?
Little John says, “If you want to know more about John Kerry, ask the men that served with him.”
Well, little guy, we did. But when your team didn’t like their answers, you called them liars. So which is it, the swift boat men that are for Kerry are the ones telling the truth, and the rest are liars? Is that how it works?
Tell me something: How is it that men who are patrolling the same waters together in a combat zone are not considered “serving together?” This is your boat, and that’s mine . . . and only the men in your boat are the ones you served with – not the ones in the boat next to you? Okay, I get it.
So, if soldiers pitch tents together in the desert, the only men serving with you are the ones in your tent . . . is that the way it works?
If that’s the case, there weren’t too many men to ask, were there? As I now understand it, there was only a crew of six people in a swift boat. John Kerry commanded five people?
Are we now learning that all the men Mr. Kerry testified against before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, about “war atrocities” committed by American forces in Vietnam, were only FIVE MEN?
If he didn’t serve with any of the others, there were only five men that did all those horrible things to the Vietnamese people?
I thought Mr. Kerry testified against thousands of soldiers whom he said “were criminals,” but he didn’t even serve with them? But how could he
. . . they weren’t in the same boat together? So, how could he accuse them of anything?
But when soldiers who are in swift boats right next to him – and in the same body of water – testify against Mr. Kerry, they are “dishonest and dishonorable.”
Why is everyone around Mr. Kerry wrong, but he is always right?
Oh, that we could be as perfect as the Johns. They will make America better?
Kerry has said over and over that Mr. Bush did not go into this war with a plan . . . well, what’s yours, Big Guy? Oh, that’s right, it’s a secret.
Pompous? Yes. Pontificating? Yes. Presidential? No.
