Delivering Soylent Green

How the Democratic Party loves the rhetoric of promises over reality, of symbolism without substance, and how they are going to raise us all up to a more perfect level of humanity if only you would just vote for them? Surely someone must believe this every election year crap or they wouldn't always use it as the foundation of their platform, a platform that I might add often moves in the wind like branches on a tree.

John Kerry is their new messenger but the din coming from the other side of the fence stills sounds much the same. Kerry wants to campaign on his war record and who wouldn't with a fistful of meaningful metals earned in just four months... oh wait he threw them away and went against the war and talked about atrocities in front of the American people. Silly me... but apparently not silly to John "I could care less about them then" Kerry. Seems he wants them all back and restored to their original luster of yesteryear. Funny how those metals that couldn't possibly do him a lick of good in the seventies are so precious to him now.

Somehow in his brief period of heroism, saving lives and taking shrapnel, he managed to identify and gather a much data about American Military atrocities that wasn't taken immediately public when it would have done the most good but years later well after the fact. But such is the case with many a democrat, almost always a day late and a dollar short in their efforts to inform.

Similar to his then claims of brutality against the common people of Viet Nam he now wants us to believe that somehow President Bush misrepresented the facts to gain support among US citizens for the war against Saddam. Many Americans now wonder if he is just twisting facts most adeptly for the purpose of his own political gain now and if this wasn't the case back in the early 70's as well?

While the political ad run by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth was over the edge when it came to the reality of John Kerry's war record it may have helped reveal a truth hidden as to John Kerry's character? 

Here is a man that wants to malign President Bush's character based simply on his choice of service and place of duty. Which would be in the opinion of this veteran of six years of Marine Corps service,  the same as if he were smearing my service performed in a non combative roll as not worthy of also running and being President. Such an attack is simply nonsense and shows how low the man will sink. 

Even so, being the good man that President Bush is he has recognized his opponents military record and said Kerry should be proud of it and to have served his country so well, and he did this even as he was being maligned by Kerry. Words cannot describe the quality of a man that would do that in light of such adverse political tactics applied by such a desperate opponent. 

For John Kerry, however underhanded such tactics might be, they could prove be the only way he could fool the American public into going to the polls and pulling the Kerry lever. Military record withstanding, his senate voting record when it comes to America's Defense leaves much to be desired and tends to lead one to believe he would do much the same if President.

Kerry likes to sit on the fence when it comes to issues, especially if taking a firm stand might cost him votes. For one, he has stated he is against gay marriages and would do nothing directly against them but instead leave any decisions regarding them to the states. While this sounds good on the surface it really skirts the issue and is an attempt to appease both sides. A tactic that Kerry has applied in his campaign often.

What most Americans that favor Bush like so much about the man is he isn't afraid to come off the fence and take sides even if it means he gets a little bruised and getting his hands dirty in the process. Kerry will always be a fence sitter because it suits him both politically and spiritually. Unfortunately, it is a quality that doesn't fit a need in time of crisis and could actually lead enemies to beat upon the Kerry fence just to see which way he would fall.

When it comes to John Kerry you aren't quite sure what you are getting. Don't believe me? Go to his website and listen to his speeches when he delivers them. Not much there to go on but a fistful of promises similar to Bill Clintons first campaign against Bush senior and much Bush bashing.

In reality Kerry doesn't want you to know who he is, doesn't want to expose himself to anything that could put him on more shaky soil. He is a tightrope act six inches above solid ground but he wants us to believe he is up there hovering somewhere above the Grand Canyon.

Kerry is a smart man for sure, there isn't any doubt about that. You don't get as far as he has without a brain. Which has to make you wonder just a wee bit why so many democrats would have you to believe President Bush is a dimwit?  But in an election year where the leading democrat has  been less than honest about the sitting President and himself why should we expect more out of the democratic party in general?
