Hoo boy! Aren't we just having lots of fun in Georgia? The Georgia House of Representatives is probably gonna vote on an anti-gay mariage constitutional amendment tomorrow so we got the holy rollers demonstrating and we got the left wing gay supporters demonstrating. It almost makes me want to take the day off and mosey on down to the capitol. I could take a cooler full of beer and a lawn chair and watch the show.
We have black legislators caught in the middle on this one. The black churches are overwhelmingly for this amendment. The left wing of the Dimocrat Party, of course, is against it. So, do they support their constituents or the left wing. This is something that the black community is gonna see more and more.
In Washington DC, where we have the worst schools in the nation (Here in Georgia we're number 50!), the black community overwhelming supports vouchers. However, since the teachers' unions are against it, the "black leaders" betray their constituents and vote against it. Maybe vouchers aren't the solution but they're worth a try. The present system doesn't work.
I hate the night before an election. I got home from work and my answering machine had three messages. My sister said I have a rude greeting on my machine. It goes, "If you are a telemarketeer hang up. I don't buy anything over the phone." I need to add, "I already have a satellite system and I don't want to refinance my mortgage. Get fucked!"
The first message was from Andrew Young. I bet he wanted me to vote for the new Georgia flag. I don't know. I erased it.
The next message was from the Agriculture Commissioner, Tommy Irvin. I don't know what the fuck he wanted. I erased it. On the third one, the recorded message that they were trying to send was fucked up. I erased it.
About two hours ago John Lewis called. I bet it was about the fucking flag. Don't know. I hung up.
The last one was from John Edwards talking about how he knew poor folks. You're a fucking millionaire John. Because of all the fucking lawsuits you and your ambulance chasing friends have won, malpractice insurance has gone sky high and medical expenses have too. Yeah, you ambulance chasing bastard, you're a real friend to the poor folks. You live in a mansion just like John Kerry.
And speaking of Kerry, I want to see his fucking medical records. The Dimocrats have been bitching about Bush, who not only has released his medical records (something Clinton refused to do) but every other record he could find about his National Guard service. I want to know about the three purple hearts that got Kerry out of Viet Nam 8 months early. He had no down time from any of those wounds so they must not have been too serious. Why won't he release those records?
Max Cleland was asked about that.
Former Sen. Max Cleland said Sunday there was no reason for Democratic presidential front-runner John Kerry to release his full medical file - including records documenting the injuries that won him three Purple Hearts in Vietnam - calling requests for the Vietnam records "the height of hypocrisy."
Why is that Max? Kerry keeps bringing up Viet Nam and how he was a fucking hero. Howza 'bout the straight scoop? Is he afraid of the truth?
"That might be the height of hypocrisy, for people who never went to Vietnam [to ask for Kerry's wartime medical file]," Cleland, a leading Kerry backer, told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg.
Howza 'bout me Max? I went to Viet Nam. I want to see those records. I'm sure there are a lot of other Viet Nam veterans who would like to see those records also. Are we hypocrites? You are John Kerry's mascot, aren't you? How does it feel to support a scumbag who came back from 'Nam and betrayed all the grunts he left behind?
Sen. Cleland, who lost three limbs in Vietnam but never received a Purple Heart, said Kerry's physical sacrifice had been just as great as his own, telling Malzberg, "I don't see any difference."
Except you're missing three limbs, a unidexter as it were, and Kerry doesn't even have a limp. It seems to me that you made a more physical sacrifice, even though it wasn't on the battlefield, than Kerry. It was that kind of warped thinking that got you defeated in the last election.
When pressed on why he thought Kerry didn't need to release his full medical file, Cleland shot back: "You read the book 'Tour of Duty.' I'm not going to get into an argument with you here. Let's just say we have a clear choice in America."
That's true. We have John Fonda Kerry, who returned from Viet Nam and betrayed all the soldiers left behind by joining VVAW, allying with Jane Fonda, and spewing garbage at the Winter Soldier Investigation. A man who has voted against every major weapons system since he has been in the Senate. Someone who wants to ask the United Nations for permission to protect ourselves. Or, we could keep our current Commander-in Chief.
And the book Max wants us to read?
However, when asked two weeks ago about the severity of Kerry's wounds, "Tour of Duty's" author Douglas Brinkley explained, "They were minor."
Check out this exchange:
MALZBERG: But we don't know the extent of those wounds, sir.CLELAND: I got out five weeks early because I got blown up.
MALZBERG: Yes, but don't you see the difference? You lost three limbs.
CLELAND: I don't see any difference.
Max, you have officially gone off the deep end. You don't see any difference? The man has totally lost it. Losing the last election must have affected him more than I thought.
So tomorrow I get to vote. I think I'll vote as a Dimocrat and vote for Al Sharpton. I'm doing that to level the playing field. I think Sharpton should get 200 delegates to the Dimocrat Convention just because he's black. Isn't that the way affirmative action is supposed to work?
As for the flag? I'm not sure how I'm gonna vote. I think I'll vote for the new one and maybe then the flag bullshit will go away.
