Vanity: straight from the horses (donkey's) mouth?

[dawn53]

Here's the deal, my 15 year old is in a Speech Class in college. They've been having political debates and he is the only one who is standing up for Bush.

He says it's been reasonably easy because all you have to do to prove Kerry is unfit is to quote Kerry and this refutes anything the lib students have to say, since Kerry has flipflopped on all issues.

BUT, next week he has to give a speech outlining why he would vote for Bush (obviously he's only 15 so unless we move to California, he won't be voting, LOL.)

His professor said today that they would not be allowed to have any negative statements in the speech about the other candidate, so he can only say why he will be voting for Bush.

His idea is to use quotes from Dems (say for instance a quote from Clinton on how dangerous Saddam was), and correlate it to Bush's action, but then reveal that it was Clinton who made the quote.

The speech is only 5-7 minutes, so he won't be able to cover much, but probably the WOT will be his main reason set forth for supporting Bush.

So, all that to say, anybody have some links where he could go to find quotes from Clinton, or other world leaders that he could use, letting the students think the statements are from Bush since they follow Bush's approach to the WOT and the dangers of terrorism, but then pull his "Gotcha" approach when he reveals who he's quoting.

Any help would be appreciated.

A Brief Compilation of DemocRAT Hypocrisy

[rocky88]

Here's my two cents..

I would have him draw everyone in at the beginning of the speech by dramatically recounting some of the largest terrorist attacks in Israel, and then proceed to talk about how our daily lives would soon become just like the Israelis if not for President Bush and the WOT.

Also, he could mention how Democrats have had the issues of Prescription Drug benefits and Education reform on the table for decades and have never been able to close the deal. Then along comes President Bush and he gets both done in one term.

Hope this helps! You must be very proud to have a 15-year old in college - he must be quite brilliant!

TEXT OF THE PRESIDENT'S BRIEFING ON IRAQI AIRSTRIKES.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Let him read this poem that I wrote. It doesn't even mention Kerry.

We Remember

We saw the look upon his face,
Through whispers he was told.
We knew he felt just what we felt,
We wouldn’t sit here cold.
We knew this time that we would act,
And not just turn our head.
This time we’d go and we’d go big,
We wouldn’t bomb some shed.
He called them faceless cowards,
He vowed we’ll hunt them down.
We watched as he spoke to us all,
Sincerely, not some clown.
His eyes assured us he’d not rest,
Until they paid the price.
Yes we’d turn over every stone,
Until they were on ice.
He warned the battle would be long,
That many would forget.
That some would say, let’s just move on,
Not him, his mind was set.
We backed him then, we back him now,
The fight must still go on.
We can’t back down, we can’t let up,
Until the threat is gone.
God Bless our troops as on they fight,
Each day for them we pray.
We thank them all, for all they do,
“They are the best”, we say.
We will support our President,
He’s proven he will stand.
We’ll vote for Bush this coming fall,
We will protect this land.

Wartime Experience:

Kerry had 90 days experience in Vietnam as a very, very junior officer. Then he left, claiming minor and unsubstantiated injuries - but has never released his medical records, and went home to become an admiral's aide. Then, after only a few months in New England, and with more than a year left in his required service, Kerry quit his military job to campaign for Congress. (Except he quit that campaign as well.)

Bush served longer than Kerry (all told) in the Air Force, left that duty with a higher rank than Kerry, and has released all of his service and medical records.

As Commander-in-chief, Bush has served in two full-scale wars (Afghanistan and Iraq) over a two year period, and has won both wars by conquering more "terrortory" in less time with fewer causalities than ANY PERSON in history.

Kerry has fought against every military pay raise, budget increase, and anti-socialist position the US has ever taken.

He has fought for, and remains a champion ONLY for international socialism. Not for the US.

Thanks for the links and advice. It's just what he was looking for!!!!

I'm not a big Bush supporter, but you make a lot of accusations with no proof at all. You must be a democrat!

[antiRepublicrat]

, after only a few months in New England, and with more than a year left in his required service, Kerry quit his military job to campaign for Congress.

Don't go there. Bush had the guard bend over backwards for him so he could work on a campaign, and then got out early so he could attend college. As soon as you start bashing Kerry's early out you may as well be bashing Bush's. Both he and Kerry were within the rules, so both should be given credit for service.

I gave him credit for 90 days service. In-country.

The rest of his life since?

Strictly for international socialism. Never for the US.

(By the way. The media subjected us to 8 weeks (6000 web sites alone!) on "Bush + AWOL + National Guard + Vietnam." The democrats have subjected us to over 35,000 web sites with "Kerry + hero + Vietnam" ....

So, Kerry is a "hero" to the misguided fools who trust the media, Bush was AWOL (according to the same media), and you're telling us to go "easy" on the subject.

How much easier should we go? How much further should we bend over? Kerry was the one who left service (twice) while there was active combat, in the middle of the war, for personal comfort, while there were personnel shortages in his unit, on his boat, and in his assignment.

Bush left after the war had wound down, when there were hundreds of higher-ranked pilots leaving duty, and trying for his spot in the Guard, and when there was no need for his service.

[antiRepublicrat]

I gave him credit for 90 days service. In-country.

I give him credit for service, period. Any possible heroics or combat service is just icing on the cake. If in-country combat service is one of the criteria for good service, then remember that Bush didn't get within 5,000 miles of a hostile weapon, and that, by your criteria, can be used against him.

The rest of his life since?

Not applicable to a discussion of his service. All after is fair game.

Bravo to your son for standing his ground!

My son is the same way. Last year he was the only student in his classroom at high school to support Bush's position in Iraq.

He is fed up with the liberal Educrat mentality and has arranged to graduate early, saving himself from another semester's worth of attempted leftist indoctrination.

[Rebelbase]

Oh, BTW, Make sure every dem quote is footnoted from a non conservative new source.

Might even be a good idea to have a one page handout of the dem quotes to hand out to the class at the end of the speech.

My son is using the dual enrollment program in our county
so all his classes are at the local college.

Of course, he runs into liberalism, but actually, at least so far, his professors are pretty impartial, not taking one side or the other during student debates or discussions.

Most debates have taken place during his Composition classes, or, in this instance, his speech class. Math and science classes have not been a problem.

He has not taken a government or humanities class yet, and I know he'll face liberalism there. He has a Cuban immigrant as a professor in Spanish, and he is conservative and makes no bones about it.

It's good to have to learn to stand up for your beliefs, but my son get's frustrated that the other college kids seem to swallow the Dem line with no questioning.
