The Dude & John Kerry

I had a nice chat with Jeff "The Dude" Dowd last night about his support of the George Butler doc on John Kerry. He was telling me that they had a test screening the other night and that a high percentage of uindecideds turned decided for Kerry after the screening...

More later...

It's later. Jeff tells me that they are in the process of raising millions of dollars so that the film, Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry can play in theaters and on TV and so they can give away thousands and thousands of copies of the film on DVD in swing states, hoping to impact fence sitters.

The Dude makes on great point. Whatever side of the fence you are on, you have to do something. (Jeff would prefer you be on the Democratic side, for the record.) Whatever happens happens. But if you take action, you can look yourself in the mirror. If you don't...

Every little bit helps in these disturbing times. So if this gets to people who now believe the purple heart means nothing more than a band-aid, then good. IF not, truly, may the FORCE be with the REST of US, not down with the clown.

who takes anything the "Dude" does seriously? we all saw lebowski. anyone he supports for public office sends a huge red flag up for me

[BrotherhoodOfSteel]

I would take the Dude's recommendation any day over some one who would sell their country out for a no-account person from Texas.

Not like the fate of the country's at stake or anything. Nah. Let's just act like EVERYTHINGS FIND. Yup! JUST DANDY!

Ruttin Dung Na...

your right. our country is at stake. some people don't really get the fact that we are at war with Islamic terrorists. Not texans. not africans. not canadians. and you want a guy who all he has ever done is cut the military budget and intelligence budgets leading the fight?

[BrotherhoodoFsteel]

The insepidness of your mere response bicycle bob represents a part of this country too caught up in the FEAR the Bush Administration has put them in to really understand how insepid you sound. Come on. You think Kerry could do a worse job? Do you really? No way in hell could he do anything worse than Bush. All of these pointless deaths of our military personnel keep coming, Iraqi citizens keep dying, we do not have the properly amount of people in Afghanistan to take care of that problem, but you believe Bush has done a good job?

You are a joke. People who agree with you are a joke. People like you would send us to a place we need not go, but you just cant help being so SCARED by the Bush Administration, that you would sacrifice the rest of us for your pointless fear. Bush is the new Nixon.

[thedoom]

We're at war with Islamic terrorists? Really? Shit, I thought we were at war with Iraqis!

[bicycle bob]

you're going to put ur safety and health in the hands of a guy who can't even take one position on the war???
a guy who would hire the same jerks from the clinton admin. who screwed us before and made every wrong move you can make in foreign affairs. A guy who admitted to war crimes to further his career and now doesn't even bring that anti war aspect up. A guy who served 20 yrs in the Senate and hasn't even mentioned it once in his campaign for president. u got a guy with an approval rating of 35% which is almost as bad as Michael Dukakis.

face the facts. hes a disaster and hes gonna lose. big.

iraqi citizens keep dying because the gangsters in iraq keep killing their own people. i love how u people try to make iraq out to be some utopia that we ruined. this was a place that people were afraid to leave their houses. they still are. they're afraid to speak up. their gov't was killing and torturing their own people. but u and ur guy michael moore can keep painting the place as some democratic paradise. u hate conservatives. thats fine. its obvious. what u really hate is the fact that no one respects ur opinios because ur a bunch of kooks.

why didn't u show some real balls and nominate the one guy who spurred u on? dean. at least when u lost u could hold ur up that u followed ur ideals.

Bob, again, you are INSEPID! People like you who share those common opinions, insepid. Your president and his administration, INSEPID! Bush is the New NIXON, and you are pathetically selling us all because you cant grasp SENATORIAL protocol or that Kerry did not vote for those bills because they were filled with Robert Bryd PORK!

God forbid someone took a stand against insepidness such as you bob. Just understand; that those people in Iraq and those soldiers are dying due to an unjust war on a soverign nation as much as a treat to us as a York Terrior. Yeah, Saddam and Sons sucked, but the President took them all out with no justification.

You are pathetic bob, and I will be damned if I let my county go to the shits just because of your misguided beliefs and your fears.

You insepid little man.

[bicycle bob]

i doubt you even know what insepid means, steel boy.

preemptive strikes are the only way to win this war. ask russia how "appeasement" did for them. if you can't see that maybe you need another 9-11 to really realize that we have been under attack for 12 years and they will not stop to all of us are dead.

but hey, its bush's fault right?

[BrotherhoodofSteel]

You call me "boy." I will call you bitch. So bitch, pre-emptive strikes would work in AFGHANISTAN! Come on, Iraq posed no threat outside of Saddam being a jackass. But there we go, into a pointless war, and now insurgence have stood up for something because Rummy and Dubya were too caught up on their NEO-CON ideals to realize what the REAL EFFECTs of this war would be on some of the Iraqi populace.

Bob, you are wrong. Russia has nothing to do with this what so ever. Then like the bitch that you are, you bring up that we "need another" 9/11 to make us realize how much we need Bush? You are about as disgusting as they come, and how you cant see that 911 took place thanks to YOUR president and HIS administration ignoring the threat. Then maybe we need a new president who will not ignore memos nor have an agenda that most of this country does not support or want anymore.

Bush remains THE NEW NIXON. So bob, you are backing Nixon now. Good going, dumbass.

[bicycle bob]

u can't even get into details why u prefer him. saying bush is the devil and the new nixon doesn't cut it. if anyone is the new nixon its kerry. who do u think gave those forged papers to cbs??
thats going to destroy cbs as a news organization and i would say his candidacy but thats already done.

iraq wasn't a threat? they didn't invade kuwait 10 yrs before? they didn't harbor terrorists? they didn't pay people for suicide attacks? they didn't finance operations? they didn't torture their own people? they didn't try to develop and stockpile weapons? open ur eyes. we live in a world where we have to act first. we gave that dictator every opportunity to give up peacefully. he thought we were bluffing??? if he didn't have anything to hide why didn't he just let weapons inspectors in? why would he try to bluff the world? it cost him his country, his two sons, his power. open ur eyes, boy.

[BrotherhoodOfSteel]

He harboured no terrorist. He feared Al Queda just like any other Arab leader. Saddam invading Kuwait in 1991 has nothing to do with the war now, that the INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES believe we cant WIN now... Whatever. You are just an idiot. Be glad we live in a society where someone like you with your idiotic possibly country destroying beliefs can vote. It's a testament to the ideals of this country, that your dumbass can vote.

We are in a war we cannot win. The Intelligence Agencies say so, and they usually have a clue. Yet your moronic ass wants to support a president who put us IN THIS WAR? You are just disgusting.
