Forget politics, would you rather have Bush or Kerry as a friend?

[Elwood Blues]

My vote would be Bush.

 

[LisaSt]

Kerry Bush it to high on himself IMHO.

 

[MosMom]

Kerry could buy me more things to be his friend

 

[AirForceRocks]

Definitely President Bush.

What does "Bush is too high on himself" mean? Are you trying to say that Kerry is the humble guy next door? In which of his 7 mansions would that be? If Theresa's appearance at the DNC is any indication, I could see the conversation; "Lets talk about me and when we are done, we can talk about me again"

 

[MinnieYC]

Kerry. I feel like I would have more stimulating and interesting discussions with him.

 

[LisaSt]

Bush thins to highly of himself is all I meant Yes Kerry has many material things but from what I have seen and heard he is not all upity about himself and Bush seems to try to hard to downplay his money etc and comes off as fake IMHO.

That's probably because we're not used to a sincere politician.

 

[LisaSt]

Sincere politician is there such a thing honestly LOL. I take anything that comes out of any politicians mouth with a grain of salt as they tend to usually only tell half truths anyhow to try and protect their best interest.

 

[Kendra17]

Bush.

And, I want to add that I don't doubt the sincerity of anything Bush says. It's too bad that the Democrats doubt the sincerity of their candidate.

Remember the badge Thompson spoke about in his introduction? I believe Bush carries that badge around in his pocket daily--just like Thompson said. Would I think kerry would do the same? Absolutely not. I think kerry would use such a story to prove his sensitivity, but would he really carry it around? No--well, maybe on speech days.

I really admire and trust Bush. I believe he is a good, honest person. And, all that garbage about him being less intelligent is really just that--garbage.

 

[mommytutu]

Bush. I think I would have more in common with him. I think we could sit outside and have a coke and talk for a bit. Kerry on the other hand, seems like he would be too busy and uninterested.

 

[IMGONNABE40!]

I hear Bush throws some great parties down at the ranch. On the other hand, a good ole New England clam bake sounds good about now. Hmmmm....

Don't forget- Bush's family has a place here in Maine...

Definately Bush- I don't think Kerry would bother to get to know one of the "little" people. Also I couldn't stand to spend ANY time with that wife of Kerry's...... I'm even MORE sure Theresa wouldn't want to mix with the commoners!

Perhaps you should listen to Boston Talk radio. I have heard more "Do you know who I am" stories for years and years about Senator Kerry. Cutting in line in convenience stores, airports, parking spaces. He is called Live Shot Kerry for a reason. Don't stand between him and a camera. You will get mowed down. Go to www.howiecarr.org and look for the Kerry Korner.

The Howie Carr thing really made me think. As someone who grew up in MA, I honestly cannot believe this fool is even this close to becoming President.

First off, his wife was always Teresa (ter-eesa) Heinz. Not Teresa (ter-ay-sa) Heinz Kerry. Second, even if you don't agree with the Swift Boat Veterans, listen to an ad. Do you hear the ridiculous accent he's sporting when he's giving his testimony?? Where did THAT go?? He just came back with an accent that sounds exactly like JFK - from Vietnam? He must have gotten tired of it because it's gone now.

Then there's the story about the fire hydrant. He didn't want to have to walk 10 feet and not be able to park in front of his house (I say house because whether the guy has a "mansion" is of no concern to me). He couldn't park his (no, wait - his family's) SUV in front of his house, so he had the fire hydrant moved. To heck with the people who LOST their space, right? As long as HE can park in front of his house, life is good.

He's voted over 350 times to raise taxes (go to www.gop.org and look up REAL STATISTICS, not stupid personal attacks), yet when it comes to his own taxes, he has never once volunteered to pay the higher MA income tax, which is an option. Guess he doesn't believe in leading by example.

And then there are the legendary stories of how he's had innocent boaters escorted away from his (I mean his family's) island. Apparently, when there is an event there, you can't get anywhere near the place....even if you're just in the water with your boat like a normal person. The entire ocean becomes his.

MA may vote for Kerry because it's a liberal state, but most people don't LIKE him. He's an arrogant gigolo with a fake smile. Not that that's a reason to not vote for him (if you want your taxes raised by someone who won't even raise his OWN taxes, by all means cast a vote for him), but I wouldn't want to be his friend.

I don't agree with Bush all the time, but I think I can hang with him. We can BBQ, toss back a few beers, talk sports, ride some horses. I think it would be fun.

ETA: I would throw back the beers, of course. He could have his choice of a variety of non-alcoholic beverages.

 

[Dan Murphy]

The President, by a long shot.

 

[CEDmom]

Kerry definitely, but if Bush were a friend I'd have smacked that smirk off his face a long time ago.

 

[poohandwendy]

Definitely Bush...no question

 

[LindaBabe]

I wouldn't trust George Bush on a BET!

 

[Dadtojbj]

President Bush.
