yes kenny, anyone who questions your beliefs is a sell out.
I call vacant liberal minded lefty loons your basic stupid outs.
Now kenny if you said the words below it would be bad form. But for a US Senator to say this is the first cousin of treason. Now would go in public and state the following as what you believe in your heart.
We meet at an important moment for Democrats and a time of change for the Republicans. They used to be the party of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan. Today they are the party of Rush Limbaugh and Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's the party of values?
You know, after reading about the pill popping, skirt chasing, Hitler praising Republicans, it's very tempting to point out their hypocrisy. But is it the right thing to do? Absolutely.
These are difficult, dangerous, and serious times we're living in. And so I want to take my time today to talk seriously with you. I have been traveling across America. And I can tell you, I have never seen the American people so fearful of their future, and so worried about the ability of their national leadership to make it better.
It didn't have to be this way.
During the 2000 campaign, we all remember how George Bush kept acting out his inauguration.
He'd raise his right hand, and say: "When I take that oath, I will swear to uphold the honor and integrity of the office to which I have been elected, so help me God."
It is almost three years later, and we know. He has done no such thing.
Sadly, since day one--since before day one, in Florida, in fact--there has been one value repeatedly missing from this presidency: integrity. The people who run this White House haven't trusted the American people enough to level with them, and so the American people are now losing their trust in this White House.
There has been a pattern of broken promises and basic deceptions that diminish the presidency, degrade our strength, and disrespect the American people. These are serious charges. I understand. I don't make them lightly. But the evidence is clear.
They promised us prosperity but gave us more unemployment and poverty, reversing the gains made when Bill Clinton and Al Gore were there.
They promised to protect the middle class, but squeezed and shrunk it.
They said they would pursue the whole truth about 9/11, but they have concealed it at every turn.
They promised an era of responsibility, but they gave us the foxes to guard the foxes:
The accountants' leading lawyer as the head of the SEC. A mining lobbyist to oversee our public lands. A lead paint industry executive put on the lead paint advisory council.
They promised that air quality at Ground Zero was safe, after the experts at EPA told them it might not be.
They promised a new immigration policy. Then used terrorism as an excuse to deny Latinos and millions of others the right to come safely and legally to this country. I'll welcome them.
They talk about corporate accountability, but they reward corporate greed with billions in offshore tax shelters. I'll end them.
They pledged fiscal responsibility, but then ransacked the Treasury, hiding as long as they could the historic, humongous debt they have created.
