Imagine Kerry In The White House, Today

[BeFree]

Gee, ya think that FEMA might have been on the scene sooner?

Certainly we would have never heard the "Good job, brownie" quote from the asshole now in command.

What a difference our president, John Kerry, would be, eh?

[Jacobin]

1. The Iraq clusterfuck prolly wouldn't be much different

But I'm convinced he would have appointed people to FEMA who were qualified and weren't neo-con horse hacks.

[JuniperLea]

3. I can't see Kerry lying about WMD

which is how we got to Iraq in the first place.

[blm]

6. I can't think of one Democrat who wouldn't have let the weapons inspectors

do their job exactly as they needed to do, which would have resulted in NO military action.

[BeFree]

8. Iraq

He would have hit the friggin ceiling by now, in fact just as soon as he heard the brits were suicide bombers! That story would have been the headlines today!

[sandnsea]

11. It would be completely different

Kerry would have brought the rest of the world to the table. He would have allowed more training. He would have made it crystal clear that we were planning to leave. He would have empowered the NGO's and Iraqi businesses. He would have changed the military plan so that our troops weren't targets on the frontlines. He would have led us out of there instead of into a situation that becomes more dangerous by the day.

[Der Blaue Engel]

15. Damn straight

This is the truth that should be obvious to all. Even if you don't agree with Kerry on Iraq, if you have any discerning sense at all, you have to be able to see that.

[tinrobot]

2. Or... Al Gore

Either would have done the right thing.

[BeFree]

10. Yeah, Gore

But hey, we'd be so much further along with Al Gore. Makes me sick to even think about it.

[blm]

12. Both were keenly aware of the vulnerability of the gulf coasts....Kerry

even talked about the immediate needs of the coast in a number of campaign speeches in Louisiana in April and June of 2004.

It required a 14 billion dollar investment to reinforce the coasts and the ports.

Those damn bigspending Democrats and their "plans" for this nation, eh?

[Der Blaue Engel]

4. There are so many deaths on the heads of the election thieves

How many more will there be? The ramifications of these two stolen elections could go on exponentially for a generation to come. :(

[BeFree]

16. "...a generation to come". indeed

Oh yes, it will. It is an infectious disease in the American body which has caused insanity to take hold. If we don't kill the vote stealing, NOW, it will be the death of this great experiment. Even so, the harm it has created will last a long, long time.

[pazarus]

5. my word, YES

Q: he would be out there doing hard work and getting things done

a) to prove himself
b) because he cares about non-rich non-white folk too
c) instead of vacationing for another month
d) because it helps America
e) just like George Bush.
f) ALL BUT E

[HereSince1628]

7. I thought he wants more troops in Iraq?

I hope I remember wrong because that would mean FEWER National Guard assets to deploy in the hurricane striken areas.

I am not at all sure he would have had a chance to undo the damage to FEMA, although I am sure he would have wanted that.

[Der Blaue Engel]

13. Or maybe he would have gotten the National Guard out of Iraq

and used more intelligent military planning to manage the troops. Intelligent. Planning. Two words not in the * lexicon.

[BeFree]

14. Response

Kerry wanted more regular troops so that the National Guard could come home. Lets not rehash the IWR. It was pure politics and it gained him plenty of votes from the warmongers. Of course, those warmongers would be spitting bullets today were Kerry rightfully in the WH.

Two: Kerry would have never appointed anyone like the twerp brownie to something as important as FEMA. And you can bet we would have seen many heads roll at FEMA if they screwed up like they did working for Kerry.

[HereSince1628]

20. Let's not rehash IWR? Should I get on with life, or WHAT?

Kerry, as late as this summer supported MORE involvement in Iraq.

It is an issue.

I understand the calculus of putting more troops in. I disagree with it.

While I am open to try to understand Kerry's position for voting for IWR, I am damned sure not going to overlook or sweep aside the historic record.

[Snotcicles]

9. If Gore was on his second term maybe we would have had some

regulation in place that would have slowed global warming to the point that Katrina would have been just Kitty.

[JanusAscending]

17. GREAT POINT!

Very great point!! :applause: Then my guy Kerry would be next in line for the WH, and he wouldn't have to worry about the election being STOLEN !!!

[Snotcicles]

21. ANOTHER GREAT POINT

[Sequoia]

18. But, didn't Cheney say if we voted for Kerry we'd be in big trouble

when a disaster strikes?

Time to eat crow.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

19. Kerry just wasn't

my man of the hour...now Al Gore. That's another issue.
