QOTW #11: Dem's Da Questions

By Timothy R Butler | Posted at 1:15 AM

Assuming you watched some or all of the Democratic National Convention last week, did it leave you with a different perspective on Kerry? How about anyone else?

On Kerry, no. The only thing that provided a different perspective was the revealing information that Kerry's recorded “war scenes,” including those used in his introductory movie, were reenactments made by a young Kerry who was already planning to get in politics while in Viet Nam. Matt Drudge's quotes reveal that some soldiers joked, at the time, that Kerry left Viet Nam not because of his third injury but because he had collected enough film footage for his campaign. Does that count?

Barak Obama did leave me with a different (and, I'll admit, positive) impression of himself. I've already covered that in one of my posts from last week.

For good or for bad, I was off at church camp during the DNC and couldn’t have watched it if I had wanted to. The good is that camp makes for a much better excuse than, “I really don’t care.” for not watching it.  :P

I avoided it all costs because I already know who or what Kerry is. Living in MA for my whole life tends to cement your opinion regarding certain Dems; with Kerry being one of them. Kerry will do or say whatever it takes to get elected, period.

If you would like to see how a Dem state is run, come to MA or as some call it, Taxachusetts. I know it won’t happen but I’d love nothing more then MA to vote REP in the election. They did it for the Gov with Romney(sp?) they could do it for Pres. It would also send shock waves throughout the entire State House. Something this state desperately needs.

As for Mr Abama, one speech does not make a man. If that were the case Clinton would be King given how some say he can capture an audience with his stage presence. I long for a day when speeches prove nothing but actions define all politicians. But that would mean they’d have to all get off the fence. ;-)

Did I say that?? ;-)
