I think I understand what he was trying to say, and I think it wasn't what it was construed as.
But then, I also thought someone like that would have not said something so stupid sounding.
But then, he's done similar things previously, maybe it is good he is not in charge, I don't know, the guy's strange.
Maybe there's a super secret agenda that I, being only a lowly citizen, cannot wrap my mind around.

And Bush hasn't said a million things that are worse, both during and before his presidency?
Besides, a slip of the tongue is alot more understandable than the lies and misdirection that have gotten hundreds of thousands of people killed, Both U.S./Coalition forces and Iraqis, many innocent.

I'm not going to lie,
I hold people who aren't George Bush to a higher standard.
I'm square in the middle of a securely red state, and I feel unable to effect change, so rightly or wrongly I'm resigned to going to war with the President We've Got.
But as much as I identify with a political party these days I'm a democrat, that's the closest of the Two to my ideals I think, and so I'm irritated by the thought of the Other Party seizing on something just when they were getting to be on the run.

Yeah, Bush has said plenty of stupid things.
But not a week before a general election that his party needs to win to regain control of Congress.
And not when still trying to make a run for the White House.
I think that's all Seriously was getting at...that ship has now sailed.
This guy is, and always has been, an idiot. The good people of Massachusetts deserve better representation than him and that fat, drunk murderer (course y'all keep electing him).

1972 - "I am convinced a volunteer army would be an army of the poor and the black and the brown," Kerry wrote.
John Kerry said he opposed a volunteer Army because it would be dominated by the underprivileged, be less accountable and be more prone to "the perpetuation of war crimes."

Was it a botched joke back then too???

It's just even more evidence as to why partisan politics is a ridiculous concept and people that follow it are unnecessarily forcing themselves into one box or another when they don't fit into either.
I don't like John Kerry, but if it was only his name and Bush's on a presidential ballot today, I would send Kerry straight to the White House.

I always look at American politics as the decoy. Like while everyone worries about what neoconservative group A does vs. neoconersvative group B the real decisions that make a difference in regime selection are made by your Straussian elitists who know better than to stick their heads into the public eye for judgment.
Like when I'm in the states people define themselves as much by their political allegiance as they do race and sexual preference even though most will deny it. The race and gayness that it, your voting preference is fair game. And it's taken with the seriousness of an office hockey pool. So do you recognize the idiocy of playing into a political system than pays you no respect and lures you into a false sense of importance by having you think your vote counts and you're a part of the decision making process?
It's weird to me how people will recognize that they were duped with WMD this and Al Queda that but fail to see that their whole system of economics and politics is designed to keep the worker bees content and occupied while those who have been designated (usually by themselves or their lineage) important enough to actually contribute to the course of your country's development make the actual decisions.
When was the last time you voted on the basis of a politicians promises and saw the results delivered? Did you vote to go to war? Why not? Seems like kind of a big decision to me. That would involve singular free will dictating the course of action and as we all know the free will of the dipshit individual is what will eventually end civilization.
And yet you anxiously await you next chance to get buttfucked.
Makes no sense to me. I've never voted and I never will.
America is as free as it's told it is.

I more or less concur with this assessment.
Which is why I also have never set foot in a voting booth. What is the point?

Because, although it's never come close to happening in the last two hundred years, your vote could make a difference.

Voting sends a message to the politicians about how the people feel. It, unfortunately, better sends a message to the string pullers about what hot button topics can sway the masses.
