« Out of Africa | Main | Memogate: A Rather Lame Statement » September 20, 2004Ten ReasonsReaders, I am soliciting your help. I would like to compile a list of the 10 best reasons to vote FOR George W. Bush that have nothing to do with terrorism or Iraq, and the ten best reasons to vote AGAINST John "Fickle" Kerry that have nothing to do with terrorism, Iraq or Vietnam. Please send your concise reason, backed by facts, documentation, links, etc., (in other words, don't just state an opinion - make a well-reasoned, fact-based argument) to me at the email address bill-at-billhobbs-dot-com. My focus here at HobbsOnline tends to be on national security and economic issues, so entries that address other topics are most sought. There's no prizes on offer, except that if I select your entry to post, you'll revel in the glory of having your entry published on this World Wide Web thingy, and also in aiding in a small way the re-election of George W. Bush and the destruction of the presidential hopes of John Fickle Kerry. Posted in Campaign Season

Posted by: Tom at September 20, 2004 11:54 AMHere's a reason to not elect Kerry: His first lady. Throughout our history, 1st ladies have been iconic figures that we find endearing for any number of reasons - regardless of political party. THK is, quite frankly, an eccentric weirdo. She calls her detractors scumbags, says hurricane victims should go naked until food is delivered, and says people who don't support her husband's healthcare plan are morons. Oh, and she calls herself "cheeky" and an African-American. Dolly Madison, she ain't. I hate to sound petty but this woman would be committed were it not for her (tragically)deceased husband's wealth. Posted by: Lance at September 20, 2004 02:56 PMPresident Bush is:
Sen hanoi john flip flop kerry is:
while calling her old anti-war protest partner John Kerry a voice of "moderation." There is no good reason to vote for the bigot, hypocrite and liar, George W. Bush. He's been an abysmal failure; his legislation has been inept and his foreign policy reprehensible. It's painfully obvious he has no respect for anyone other than his cronies. Anyone who votes for this sham should be ashamed of themselves. Posted by: Peter Scott at September 20, 2004 07:55 PMGee, Peter sounds like you KNOW your canidate HANOI JOHN FLIP FLOP KERRY quite well. Posted by: Gail at September 20, 2004 09:41 PMGail: You can go on blindly following the incumbent bigot, or you could actually use the brain God gave you and see what's truly happening. Bush is a liar...not only on Iraq, but he lied about the cost of the Medicare/prescription drug changes by, oh the little sum of what? $100 billion dollars? LOL. How can you be so fooled and duped by this man? I love his "compassionate conservatism" model; compassion reserved if one's a rich Texan in the oil business! How compassionate the administration has been with Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter..gee, they were so nice to let her in the convention, but where was her partner? Oh, and talk about flip-flopping...Bush talks a wonderful game of less government and then lists 20 or so new gov't programs he's aiming to enact in the next 4 years (hmm...why weren't these ideas forwarded in the past 4 years???) He's had a Republican congress to get things accomplished and he's failed miserably. And how will we pay for all these new initiatives? Oh yes, we'll just mortgage our kids' and grandkids' and great grandkids' future for them as this administration has absolutely no clue on how a balanced budget actually stimulates growth in the economy. Four more years of this? Please. Bush has got to go. Posted by: Peter Scott at September 20, 2004 10:01 PMTop 10 reasons to vote out Bush: 1) Liar: Iraq - zero WMD Sorry, this man will go down in history as one of the worst to ever hold this office. It's painfully apparent he's way out of his league. We've had four years of his mistakes, and four years is way too much. If I have to give him props on anything, it would be the decision to keep Alan Greenspan in the Fed's top post. But, that's about it. Pretty shoddy record I'd say. Oh, and by the way, I'm a registered Republican, but I will vote for Kerry due to the incompetence of George W. Bush. Posted by: Peter Scott at September 20, 2004 10:20 PM1) Liar: Iraq - zero WMD 2) Liar: Cost of Medicare changes 4) Bigot: keeping civil rights from gays 5) Hypocrite: talks all about morals but has checkered past filled with cocaine binges at Camp David. This man makes Clinton look good. 6) Elitest: legacy admission to Andover; legacy admission to Yale. Sorry, C+ students don't get into Yale unless it's a legacy. And how many times did he need his daddy's money and friends to bail him out of bad business deals?? 7) Questionable character: National guard duty. FACT: had 6 months added onto his "tour" as he didn't play by the rules. Other questions remain about his guard duty, obviously, but he's done a great job of covering his tracks and shredding any damning evidence. 8) Inability to draw concensus: 2000 platform centered on being a "uniter." Ha! This country hasn't been as deeply divided since Vietnam. 9) Inability to balance the budget: has led to mass unemployment and a stagnant economy 10) Loser: NEVER has found bin Laden, public enemy #1. And since he knew he'd be hard pressed to kill or bring bin Laden to justice, he purposely diverted attention and sent us into Iraq without cause and without a plan to win the peace. We're only now seeing the "fruits" of this quagmire. I'm a registered Republican Oh big dog, you are clueless aren't you. Why can't you use your brain and see what's happening? And, YES!! I am a republican. But, NO! I won't for this man again (I did in 2000). His term has been filled with nothing but negatives for this country and it's time he's set into the history books...and not favorably. He's a sham and if you vote for him then you should be ashamed of yourself. Enough said. Posted by: Peter Scott at September 21, 2004 07:25 AMI am not alone! From the AP: Rhode Island GOP Senator, Lincoln Chafee, has announced he will NOT vote for President Bush; specifically due to the President's horrendous record on the war in Iraq and the environment. Perhaps it's no surprise, as Chafee was the only GOP senator to vote against the resolution to give Bush the right to invade Iraq. But, it does demonstrate there are leaders in our party who have the guts to do the right thing. VOTE BUSH OUT! Posted by: Peter Scott at September 21, 2004 07:35 AMHey Pete, Wow, I'm impressed by your Michael Moore type logic. The interesting thing about your post's is that it takes a few dozen pages from the Carville/Begalia handbook. "If I say it enough it will be true." We've got Michael Moore, Kitty Kelley, Soros, Burkett, et al. trying to bring President Bush down, and it is not working, why, because George Bush has the truth on his side. That's right THE TRUTH, not a form of someone's truth. The Bush haters and liberals in general believe that there are many truths in this world. Nope, sorry, there is only one truth. The truth is that Saddam had WMD's we found enough to kill one hundred thousand Americans, but if you watch CBS news you probably did not hear of it. The truth is that if you ask your average Iraqi if they are better off now then they were four years ago the answer would be yes. The truth is that the coalition has stopped the torture of the Iraqi people, the rape rooms, the children's prison, and a lot of other horrible atrocities. Are we done? not by a long shot with Sadr et al we most likely will be in Iraq for quite a while. The Liberal's (I won't call them Democrats because they are not) will lose this election and many others because of blogs like this one. The Democrats have to get their priorities straight and if they wish to be liberal, come out and say it. "I am against the war in Iraq." would be a great start, rather than changing direction at the drop of a hat or change of the polls. Give a clear message, not a nuanced message. In other word's, say what you mean, and mean what you say. That's one reason why I'm voting for George W. Bush for a second term. I'll see your Lincoln Chafee and raise you a Zell Miller. Oh and from the polls, Petey, you may not be alone, but you ain't got many with you. Posted by: Jody at September 21, 2004 09:26 AMI am not a fan of Michael Moore nor of Kitty Kelly. But if you folks think Bush is above-board then you really are a gullible sort. Iraq? Bush is a failure
And don't get me started about OUR party's platform of fear. From Bush to Cheney to Hassert, the fear rhetoric is laughable and must be stopped. Posted by: Peter Scott at September 21, 2004 10:39 AMThat's quite a slapfest. If I may, I'd like to ask a couple of brief questions about one issue cited above. Gail has spoken before about her position on abortion. My question of her, or anyone who chooses to respond, is this: When is abortion justified? Additionally, in the matter of human cloning research, what should be done with the surplus of embryos that result from in vitro fertilization? Posted by: SemiPundit at September 21, 2004 11:35 AMOh big dog, you are clueless aren't you. Why can't you use your brain and see what's happening? As for your question, SP: when the life of the mother is in danger. Posted by: Big Dog at September 21, 2004 06:18 PMBig Dog, I agree. I also believe that life begins at conception and that the product of a human ovum successfully fertilized by a human sperm will become another human. What about the cloning question? Any others interested in responding to the obviously loaded questions? I am often interested in whether a person absolutely opposes it or can accept it in some circumstances. This is one of those issues that almost has to be an all-or-nothing, and presents a real dilemma when it comes home. On the matter of disposition of the excess embryos, what should be done with them?
