Ya know, very few Dimocrats call themselves liberals anymore. They prefer terms like progressive. We believe in progressive social policies. Now why is that? Why aren't they proud of being liberals?
Max Cleland claims that he was defeated in the Georgia Senate race because Saxby Chambliss called him unpatriotic. No, Chambliss pointed out that like most liberals he put union jobs before the good of the country. Max, like many southern liberrals who represent states that are going conservative ran as a conservative, but governed as a liberal. Conservative Dimocrat is becoming an oxymoron as more and more of them age and retire from politics. Zell Miller is an example of a conservative Dimocrat. So was Sam Nunn.
Do you notice that John Fonda Kerry is starting to sound more conservative? Among other things he's saying lately is that he wants to cut corporate taxes from 35% to 33.5%. He's also talking about a middle class tax cut. I remember the last Dimocrat who promised a middle class tax cut. Remember Bill Clinton? He raised taxes and said it was the hardest thing he had ever done. Bullshit. The hardest thing he had ever done was to get Hillary pregnant. That's a mental picture I could do without.
Kerry has challenged Bush to one debate per month for the next eight months. Why bother, since he wouldn't really know which Kerry to debate. Why not just have Kerry debate himself like this?
I haven't heard too much from little Tommy Dasshole or Nancy Pelosi lately. Why aren't these liberals progressives out saying how happy they are that the liberal progressive senator from Taxachussetts is running for president. They should be shouting their liberal progressive beliefs from the rooftops and letting everyone know how elated they are that they have a liberal progressive candidate for president.
And did you hear Howard Dean ask the faithful about who should be commander-in-chief and running the war on terror? Should it be someone with three purple hearts and a silver star or should it be people who never served in the military during war time? So Howard voted for Bush in 1992 and Dole in 1996 rather than vote for a draft dodger I guess. Fucking hypocrite!
This is another thing that pisses me off about liberals that I talked about the other day in my post Write a Check!. Liberals always want to be so generous with my money but not with theirs. After they are caught with not giving much to charity, like Algore was a few years ago, they then actually start donating large amounts. Let's look at Kerry. Thanks to Addison for the link.
Kerry's returns from 1995 and earlier, before his marriage to Heinz, have sometimes attracted criticism over the issue of charitable giving. In 1995, according to published reports, Kerry reported a taxable income of $126,179, and charitable contributions of $0. In 1994, he reported income of $127,884, and charitable donations of $2,039. In 1993, he reported income of $130,345, and contributions of $175. In 1992, he reported income of $127,646, and contributions of $820. In 1991, he reported income of $113,857, and contributions of $0.
During that time, my mother, who was a mean-spirited Republican on a fixed income of $15,000 per year, never gave less than $600 in cash to charity. She also gave old clothes and other stuff to Goodwill and the Salvation Army. And she did volunteer work like packing lunches for Meals on Wheels.
What about President Bush who wants to starve old people and throw the poor off welfare?
As far as Bush is concerned, in 1991, the future president, then a private citizen, reportedly had income of $179,591, and charitable contributions of $28,236. In 1992, Bush reported income of $212.313, and contributions of $31,914. In 1993, Bush reported income of $610,772, and contributions of $31,292. In 1994, Bush reported income of $474,937 and in 1995, income of $419,481. Published reports at that time did not list Bush's charitable contributions for those two years.
I would like to see a list of Michael Moore's charitable contributions. Howza 'bout Al Franken's? How much does Julia Roberts give to charity? We know how charitable the Clintons are since Hillary donated Bill's used underwear to charity.
Liberals love to talk about how they really care for the poor, but only in the abstract. And they love to do it with other people's money. Algore didn't start giving large amounts to charity until he had to start making his tax returns public and was caught giving next to nothing. Ditto Kerry. Has Ted Kennedy ever made his tax returns public? I would like to see Nancy Pelosi's also.
It's really sad that a little old mean-spirited Republican like my mother donated more to charity than liberal millionaire politicians.
Phony bastards!
