trinityvixenThis is too funny. The name of the site is JohnKerryIsADoucheBagButI'mVotingForHimAnyway.com, but I have, as yet, not gotten to why he thinks so. The site writer spends most of the time on Bush, surprise surprise. It's mostly what you've seen before, but I nearly died when I came across his analogy for...well, just read it:
a president who cannot be trusted to properly make the biggest decisions for our country is not fit to make any of the smaller ones. A suitable analogy would be the cannibalistic school bus driver. Perhaps he washes the windows of the bus to a sparkling brilliance, cleans the floor to exacting standards and weaves through traffic with the greatest of ease and comfort. Perhaps he doesn't. In the end it doesn't matter because whether he does these things or not, he still eats a child on the way to the classroom every morning. Given that the most important part of his job is to safely transport these adorable tiny scholars, it can be assumed that this man should not be a bus driver, shiny windows or not.
EDIT: There was also this winner. While any president will certainly have his flaws (and Kerry certainly isn’t lacking), the ineffective and potentially dangerous leadership of George W. Bush (as proven by his track record as president) is too detrimental to our nation and our future to allow him to keep the title of Commander in Chief. Plus, the world might blow up.
EDIT part 2: Oh, and this is a lovely article from the NYT:How Many Iraqis Are Dying?. Most depressing statistic by far: 3,040 Iraqis killed in war-related incidents in 22 weeks. Look at the number. Burn it into your brain. Now look at the elapsed time period. That's right. Three times as many dead in what, a third of the time? Less? Three times as many dead Iraqis (that we know of--they stopped giving counts to the media recently because it was 'a political issue') in a fraction of the time it's taken us to suffer 1,000 casualties. 3,000+ in 22 weeks. Lord.

70,000 DEAD IN DARFOUR SINCE MARCH
LONDON [MENL] -- The United Nations has assessed that at least 70,000 people have died or been killed in Sudan's Darfour province since March 2004.
The World Health Organization identified the casualties as those driven from their homes in Darfour over the last year. Many of the Darfour residents were said to have been killed in attacks by state-sponsored Arab militias.
