What a plan!
If Kerry was a football coach his gameplan would be:
1. Gain more yards than our opponent.
2. Score more points than our opponent.
3. But, Show our opponent we care.
Politics is the only place where this asshat can have fawning sycophants that Ooh and Ahh over his babbling and make him think he is actually saying something.
I have a plan for our energy. I have thown out these old ideas to convince you that I have a plan, but you will have to elect me as President of the United States to hear what my real plan is.
/Sarcasm off
This is one of the best posts I've seen in a while! All others, yours were good too, but this analogy resonated with me.
I think you should funnel this to the GOP for a commercial, it would be hysterical! People don't understand that rhetoric = empty banter, this they would get!
The Massachusetts Democrat called ... increasing the number of cars powered by renewable fuels
Okay Alice, start chucking firewood for the Stanley Steamer, we're goin to town tonight!
Where's the part where Detroit starts making cars with holes in the floorboards, ala The Flinstones?
Oh yes and wind farm, but not near me as to spoil my view.
He should have been president. What a revolutionary idea--reducing oil imports. I suppose he has a magic wand that he would have used. The guy's is just flat out a genius.
This is the problem with many politicians--it's particularly a problem with liberals. They tend to act as if goals are a program. Reducing poverty is a goal. Not a program. Reducing oil imports is a goal, not a program. Reducing the deficit is a goal, not a program.
Liberals are particularly bad about this because the programs they think will achieve those goals tend to be either very expensive or somewhat totalitarian and thus, not very popular. And, they do not believe or admit that some goals are not achievable without sacrificing other, important goals. Finally, they regard most of the program implementation details as good in and of themselves because they invariably enhance the power of the elite in government, regardless whether the programs have anything to do with the ostensible goals.
So they stick with lofty goals to get elected. And then the populace gets the shaft when the programs get implemented.
Of course, if you disagree with their program--eg, no, I don't think forcing everyone at gunpoint to drive a little car with a windmill on the top or to ride mass transit is a good idea--they accuse you of being against their goal and their lapdogs in the media pile on. So folks opposed to the welfare state like poverty. Folks opposed to mandatory little European cars with windmills on top are in favor of pollution etc.
It's a worldview that has worked for almost 80 years now as the most effective power and money getter for politicians in America. It has been so successful that about half of the republican party shares that worldview while sometimes differing on implementation details.
The fact that this clown is still heard from tells the whole world what a joke the american political system is.
There is no plan, the entire press release is a smokesreen.
Kerry wants you to forget that he just committed himself to an "Iraq was a mistake" policy, shortly before the news was released that we found 500 chemical weapons in Iraq.
If he retracts the "Iraq was a mistake" statements, he commits yet another of his famous "flip-flops", and if he confirms the policy, then he is exposed as a total idiot.
Since he jumped squarely between a rock and a hard place, he has no choice but to try and squirm sideways.
Where do the magic dollars come from so I can buy one of the new cars? Where do I fuel up this new wonder car?
Typical blah blah blah... {/rolling eyes at moronic government officials with fat wallets...
