Edwards?

Posted By on July 6, 2004 at 9:41 am

Quick thoughts… I’m sure I’ll have more later, if I can stomach it.
So John Kerry has picked John Edwards to be his veep nominee. What a team. In this ticket, we see two of the worst attendance records in the Senate. The most liberal senator and a done-nothing lightweight; one a tool of the NEA, the other a tool of the Trial Lawyers. [Tools… heheh.] What a mix. I’m glad I’ll be voting against them.
No, I’ll cheerfully vote against them. And as a two-fer, I get to vote for Bush/Cheney. Win/win.
Kerry trotted out the “Let America be America Again” line. What exactly is that supposed to mean?*
Ah, yes… the obligatory call for national healthcare.
Reliance on foreign oil… check. Say, Senator Kerry – you voted for ANWR, didn’t you? No?
I never knew this, but apparently Kerry served in Vietnam.
Can’t forget to mention the “Bush Lied!!!!” complaint. From Kerry, it sounds like he’s complaining about hemorrhoids.
“Horseface and Prettyboy.” Sounds like the name of a bad movie. Sounds like a worse ticket… for the Donks.
* Update: Ith of Absinthe & Cookies examined this very question a couple months ago. I should have remembered – I quoted her.

Thomas Jefferson:

The flames kindled on the 4th of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.

(letter to John Adams, September 12, 1821)
Daniel Webster:

It is my living sentiment, and by the blessing of God it shall be my dying sentiment, independence now and independence forever.

(Eulogy on Adams and Jefferson, Aug. 2, 1826)
