Ooh, that John Kerry, he's on fire!

Kerry Uses Bush's Own Words to Call Him Unfit.

In this article, John Kerry discusses the fact that President Bush doesn't listen to the facts, he jumps to conclusions.

Bush on Wednesday accused Kerry of opportunism, saying: "A political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as commander in chief ... that is part of a pattern of a candidate who will say anything to get elected."

Kerry threw the words back at the president 24 hours later, announcing he was going "to apply the Bush standard" and declaring: "Mr. President, I agree with you."

"George Bush jumped to conclusions about 9/11 and Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)," he said. "George Bush jumped to conclusions about weapons of mass destruction and he rushed to war without a plan for the peace. George Bush jumped to conclusions about how the Iraqi people would receive our troops. He not only jumped to conclusions, he ignored the facts he was given."


Since I am studying Karl Marx for school, you know I am all high on The Communist Manifesto. I don't agree with everything Marx says but I think he makes several relevant points regarding the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, stuff that I find relevant given our current political circumstances with the elitist president and his unwavering support for his "base" as he called them in Fahrenheit 9/11"the haves and have-mores."

He discusses idealogy, not just as a system of beliefs on how we perceive the world, but in a negative sense. It is more about beliefs forming one's perception to the degree that a closed system evolves in which no amount of evidence or experience can change what you think or how you feel. That of course struck a very large chord with me. There is a reason that Preisdent Bush keeps saying that he will "stay the course" and that he can not think of a mistake he has made as president. That is because his mind is closed, he has his own idealogy (whether that is a fundamentalist Christian one or not, I couldn't tell you because I am not expert, but I do feel his religion has played a large part in forming his perception. I think that if you were to ask him he would agree with me, but I don't think he would mean it in the same way as me) but it does have a lot to do with his life of privilege, his experiences at never having to take full responsibility for himself, etc.

I know next week is the election and I think that many people just want it to be over and done with. I am tired of this whole electoral college thing. Who was the genius that invented that? It's time to get rid of it. There has to be a better way of making sure that what happened in Florida last year doesn't happen again. Here is an interesting article on voter "spoilage" that Karl Marx would appreciate because the author is coming from a perspective of critizing the class issue instead of race issue which of course are interrelated.
Florida's Computers have already counted thousands of votes for George W. Bush

Finally this article sounds funny but is very serious. Clueless People Love Bush

Bush didn't "jump to conclusions", you whining, ovarian, anti-capitalist waste of a tampon. He used intelligence that every other country was behind, and the same intelligence that Kerry used when he said, "I think Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction are a threat, and that’s why I voted to hold him accountable and to make certain that we disarm him. I think we need to."
