Bush: More Flip Flops Than a Palm Beach Retirement Home

I'm getting sick of hearing opponents of John Kerry talk about two things: his service in Vietnam, and how he flip flops on "the issues."

First off, what are the issues? All Bush and his cronies talk about is how Kerry can't make up his mind. Seriously. Watch a Bush speech on TV, or watch the news. They show excerpts from his speeches. Every single one is just full of patriotic jargon that just sounds nice but actually doesn't mean anything:

"By encouraging liberty at home, we will build a more hopeful America." (excerpt from RNC Acceptance speech.)

What does actually, truly mean? Nothing. Its just nice sounding word put together that people who gloss over when listening say, "Hmm. That sounds about right." He's not talking about anything. His speeches, as well as those of his cabinet and vice-president, are full of these.

Second, if you want to talk about flip-flopping, you have to remember that Bush didn't even want the 9/11 Commission to exist, a group he now praises. There are a million examples of this: Flip-flop Hooray.

Also today, the ban on assault weapons ends. Meaning that gun manufacturers can now make AK-47s, Tec-9s, and Uzis. But I guess we need that. We need automatic weapons to fight off today's super animals, like the flying squirrel, and the electric eel. But this has nothing to do with Bush's connection to gun manufacturers and desire to end mandatory gun registeration in the country. People actually have the balls to say that all we're doing by banning assault weapons is keeping regular people from protecting themselves from the criminals who have assault rifles. People are so dumb.

And meanwhile, while the people of Iraq are now free to be terrified of being kidnapped and raped for ransom, Kim Jong Il is blowing shit up in North Korea that is producing a mushroom cloud that has a 2-mile radius that "is not a nuclear bomb." Yeah. This is where we should be right now, not in Iraq. This nutjob has ICBMs that can hit the west coast of the US, kicked out IAEA nuclear inspectors, ripped out UN cameras, and told us to go fuck ourselves, and is enriching uranium, and what are we doing about it?

(AIM conversation between the US State Dept. and officials in Pyongyang.)

XxUSgurlxX: please get rid of ur nukes
KimJongIl-matic: no
XxUSgurlxX: i'll be ur friend
KimJongIl-matic: no
XxUSgurlxX: oh ur mean :(

That's pretty much what we're doing, just asking nicely. All we did was think Saddam had WMDs, and we came in and fucked their shit up. We KNOW South Korea has got them, and we're being very patient and courteous. Come on, you've got to be kidding me. Hell, Iran (read: Crazy Islamic extremist theocratic state) has started mining and enriching uranium, and we're not doing much of anything.

This is what scares me about the future, and this is what we should be taking care of, not Iraq.

I was in a political mood today.
