Democratic National Convention Snippets, Part Two
July 28, 2004

Before I get to my article let me apologize to those readers who track such things.

I committed the ultimate sin. I misspelled a word. I’ll accept my punishment. No trial, I accept the five months in prison. I have no intention of putting the country through a long tedious trial. I must say however those who opted for the death penalty went a little overboard. Thank God cooler heads prevailed. The PCP [politically correct police] are at my door to take me away, I must be off now.

MICHAEL MOORE: You know how small towns like to advertise the celebrities who came from their town. Where State Highway 23 joins Interstate 75 just outside of Flint Michigan there’s a very large billboard that reads “ Michael Moore Never Lived In Flint Michigan”. Can you believe the DNC would put a man in the Presidential box that says all Americans are stupid and he is ashamed to be an American?

JIMMY CARTER: Poor Old Jimmy didn’t leave all the peanuts back on the farm some of them are rolling around in brain. Maybe its because he hit his thumb to many times building all those houses for Habitat. Carter giving advice on international relations is like a Nun describing an orgasm. The best part of his speech was when he said, “I’m Jimmy Carter and I’m not running for President” The rest was mostly smoke and mirrors.

AL GORE: I must be honest; I didn’t have the stomach to watch him. There are some things a man just can’t be expected to do. Poor Al still doesn’t get it. He was never intended to be President. The people didn’t want him, the Clintons didn’t want him and God didn’t want him in the Whitehouse. Al had a lot to say about what the President hasn’t done. Guess what folks, Al and the Democrats haven’t done anything either.

ANN COULTER: The Hottie political pundit seen on every conservative TV show there is. Ann was hired by USA Today to do reporting at the Democratic Convention. It seems her first article was cancelled for lack of content. Ann Coulter is an award winning journalist and author with years of experience. And USA Today says she can’t write. Now comes the good part. USA Today has hired none other than Michael Moore to report on the Republican Convention. You can’t make these things up folks.

HILLARY: She still lied about the President but they were kinder gentler lies. I didn’t hear the word Cowboy once. Did you know two of our Greatest Presidents were Cowboys? Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan both qualified as Cowboys. I was in and out watching the convention coverage. Most of it was about as interesting as watching clothing dry at the Laundromat. It was a lot of Republican bashing and little substance. No programs were detailed. A lot of hot air not much more. Maybe tonight will be better although I doubt it.

TERESA: We can’t slight good old Teresa. The latest, she called Teddy Kennedy a father-less child a few years ago [I cleaned it up]. I think it was the Boston Harold who dug that one up out of the archives. Keep digging I’m sure there’s more to come. I’m not picking on Teresa. She’s probably the most honest person in the Democratic Party.

BILL CLINTON: Slick Willy according to some gave the speech of a lifetime; according to others spread enough bull to fertilize 40 acres of cotton. I love it when Bill admits his mistakes by saying “ Some may think I did this or that”, “ You hear a lot about my this or that”. Bill never gets to the point he can come right out and say he actually screwed up. Most of his speech was lifted from his book I’m sure.

In summery the convention last night was a bust. I heard no positive proposals for any of the supposed problems the country faces in their eyes. I can’t recall in my lifetime when Democrats haven’t been fighting to correct a whole bunch of problems. I personally don’t think America has all that many problems compared to the rest of the world. I would much prefer Democrats stopped fighting and started doing their jobs. The purpose of a two party system is to practicing the art of compromise. We have reelected over and over men whose only function is to run for reelection. When a man has a ninety-five percent absentee attendance record he no longer qualifies for office.

Congress has sold the country a bill of goods. Congress has diverted accountability to the President when in fact Presidents have less real power than some of those old Senators who have 20 and 30 or more years in office. There are few things a President can do with out the approval of congress. Every time Kerry says he is going to do something you can bet he knows full well it takes the approval of congress.

Clinton was a master at blaming congress when thing went wrong and taking credit away from them when things went right. Few Presidents have shown congress the respect President Bush has. The liberal members of congress have seen this as a weakness and have taken advantage of it.

Democrats bravado will soon fade they’ll be forced to come up with something besides bashing the Republican for doing it all-wrong. They’ll be forced to tell us how they’ll do it.
