John Kerry, Inventor, Wizard
Town Hall ^ | March 20, 2005 | Paul Greenberg [Tribune Media Services]

Posted on 03/19/2005 9:37:03 PM PST by quidnunc

To allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge or not? It is an easy question for Senator John F. Kerry … because he's magic!

Magic in what way, you ask? Perhaps you fail to understand the wonders that Mr. Kerry would have performed had he been elected president last fall. For starters, America would probably already be energy independent under a President Kerry.

If you're having trouble accepting this, don't fret. You're probably just not attune to wizardly ways. Perhaps you don't believe in magic. You might have some distrust of Washington politicians. For goodness' sake, you could even be so suspicious of power that you support the system that the powerful almost always oppose, free enterprise.

To Kerry and his fellow wizards and magicians, that means you're a muggle.

What does all this talk of wizards and muggles have to do with drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge? Plenty. Kerry has helped lead the fight against drilling in ANWR because he has a better solution.

Many who support drilling think of ANWR as a much better place to drill than off the coast of California or Florida or in downtown Manhattan or in your back yard. But in a column for Outside Magazine, Kerry writes, "Like many incomparable treasures of the West, ANWR sounds desolate, uninhabited." That could be because ANWR is 19 million acres and very few people live there or anywhere close.

Only the caribou would vote for French Boy! Oh wait - he didn't win Alaska, did he? So why does he bother?? What a sight! (laughing)

On Kerry's Senate website he points to yet another reason to bar drilling in ANWR, arguing that drilling could ruin "the opportunity for local residents to continue their subsistence way of life." Wizards or not, Democrats are always big on maintaining subsistence living.

LOL

Never mind that most Alaskans including the natives - favor drilling in ANWR. But its a provincial Massachusetts bumpkin who knows more than the locals about what's best for them. "Don't you know who I am? I am John Kerry"!

I get it, he has another plan...
Well, he planned to be president and that didn't work either.

Which, he'll only tell us; if, he is elected President!

Perhaps J F'n "flip-flop fop" Kerry can relocate to the North Slope for a winter or two.

Yeah....thats it.

All the leftie tree-hugging freaks can boogie on up to the North Shore and form a human barrier for the drilling rigs.

He wants to run for President again. But he will have to get past Her Highness first.

It's secret. Only he knows how make America more secure from the Saudis. And we're dying to find out the idea behind his smoke and mirrors.

I have mentioned this on another thread before, however, since attending my first Freep this week-end I feel empowered to declare a new rule...do not ever put the 2 words kerry and PRESIDENT in the same sentance, fragment of a sentance or close to each other.
My stomach & my near explosive head appreciate & thank you for it. Thanks in advance. ;-)

Both Kennedy and Kerry allow enough self-centered, immature, pompous basta*ds and bi*ches in that (once great) state to suck greedily from Washington's tit who will continue to keep them in office. They all epitomize my tagline.

A joke about Massachusetts' two Democratic U.S Senators would be: "You can tell them them apart like this: They both have last names that begin with a K and end with a Y. And they're completely interchangeable."
