3. My letter to J Kerry today

Senator Kerry,
If you want to win this election, you are going to have to quit listening to your handlers and start listening to We the People who want our country back. We are
not voting for your strategists. We are voting for you. Forget all the bunk the DLC is giving you because, if the race is truly for the undecided voters, guess what? If people have not decided in 4 years that they are being used and abused, playing too conservative is not going to change their minds.

Your real power is in the people. I am a moderate democrat but you have got to quit letting people let you play politics with something as important as this election.
We the people know it is not Politics as usual and if you lose this, we won't have a republic nor a democracy left by 2008. I am a Kerry supporter but I promised that I would hold your feet to the fire of the true democratic platform. You will have to make decisions, right or wrong and stand by them no matter what. Forget the polls, forget the Bush people's paid critics and find your footing and find it fast ! Don't talk to the people. Talk WITH the people.

You took on Nixon in 71. You are going to have to remember we are the Party of the People. The tired, the poor, the downtrodden. As the wife of a combat Vietnam vet, when I speak, I speak with passion. I think you know that passion and heart and TRUE conviction is winnable. Otherwise, the phony republicans with their phony compassionate conservatism will walk away with it.
I cannot stand Nader. People you could have in your hand will vote Nader because you have chosen not to be a populist. Go back to the grassroots. Go back. It is the only way to win ! Quit defending the service and purple heart issue. Get tough on Bush. I disagree about positive. Go negative on these war criminals. Tell people the truth about just what is happening here. We have to take America back and America will be taken back or fall as the Roman Empire.
I am an activist and not a Deaniac, but you are going to have to convince me that you believe in what you are talking about ! I have my hand on the pulse of America. I am not running for President. You need to start recording your speeches and listen to how shallow they are coming off. I heard you speak twice. I put out a CD called Take it Back in 2004. A narration. I had people wanting to put my name on the ballot. All it takes is passion and a plan. Let the strategists work on the plan, you work on the passion

[LWolf]

60. Great letter.

It sounds like Guy is on the same page.

Fund drive successful! Thanks to all who helped!

[benburch]

9. Guy, I don't think I can call in...

events have rendered me speechless. I am simply beyond my ability to articulate what I am thinking and feeling now about this Government.

[vetwife]

12. Yes you can Ben

Vent it...Let the others know how you feel as we all feel pretty much the same. Those with a heart and a brain !

[Mika]

18. well - you could disagree with Guy..

[BeachBuckeye]

10. here we go. hang on!

[nostamj]

11. afternoon everyone!

got back from my writing session in time!

your parody sample for this weekend (this will be the new opening for our "Media Montage"........

THAT’S INFOTAINMENT! (to the tune of "That's Entertainment" of course!)

THE SHILL WHOSE DELIVERY IS SHRILL
OR THE QUIP THAT JUST DOESN’T MEAN ZIP
OR THE GLARE WHEN THEY’RE CAUGHT UNAWARE
THAT’S INFOTAINMENT!

THE WELL WHERE A BABY JUST FELL
OR A STAR WHO JUST TOTALED HER CAR
OR A CAD, FAMOUS FOR BEING BAD
THAT’S INFOTAINMENT!

THE WAR IS A BORE SO THEY HAVE TO DISTRACT
THEY WILL FILL THE BILL WITH A MODEL THAT’S STACKED
THEY’RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT FACTS
THEY’RE THERE TO KEEP YOU HAPPY
UNTIL YOU TAKE YOUR NAPPIE

A JERK WHO SHOULD BE OUT OF WORK
TELLS A TALE THAT IS UTTERLY STALE
ON A SHOW THAT IS JUST OUT FOR DOUGH
THE CABLES ALL LIE
THE TRUTH IS THEIR ‘NEWS’ IS INFOTAINMENT!

[vetwife]

13. Hi..Hope your rehearsal went well last week !

[nostamj]

14. oh, it did, but it had nothing to do

with the ?Q Revue.

this was a solo cabaret act I was hired to direct.

she did a very nice job on the debut performance last Sunday

[Mika]

15. For the betterment of mankind??

C'mon guy. Get real. :-(

[vetwife]

16. I think Rush bears responsibility too

[nostamj]

19. did you see Bill Moyers SLAM Rush

last night.

he just played his "blowing off steam' spew w/o additional comment.

you could see how utterly DISGUSTED Moyers was.

if you didn't, watch for a replay of NOW

and it's true, the legitimize blind hatred in the name of blind patriotism.

and patriotism was NEVER meant to be blind...

[Judi Lynn]

25. He must know him well enough to realize Rush's is going to be after him

until he passes out from screeching so loudly.

Having someone that admired and respected take a stand against Rush will both enrage and excite Rush! It'll drive him insane, trying to take time from his busy day, raging against John ("the French-looking") Kerry, long enough to savage Bill Moyers.

Busy, busy Rush. Good for Bill Moyers.

[nostamj]

27. let pigboy try

Moyers will just play the tape again... and again and again...

[BeachBuckeye]

22. betterment of mankind"

don't know if I said that

[Mika]

26. Yep. You said it in your opening commentary..

.. of America's tattered image.

[Mika]

76. Here is what you said - "for the betterment of humanity"

At 00:11:15 you say,

".. not for our gain, but for the betterment of humanity. That’s why this nation has been looked upon as a shining example of all that is good in the world .."

Sorry, I mistook the "humanity" for mankind. Still, a little over the top - imo.

[Judi Lynn]

20. Hi. Glad to get to hear Guy's show today.

Hope the speaker's stats are going to change, and married women will start voting more from conscience, rather than a primitive belief Republicans are more security-oriented.

[Mika]

28. Hi JudiLyn

Glad you made it over. :hi:

[Judi Lynn]

32. Hi there, Mika!

It's great seein' ya! :hi: :hi:

[revcarol]

21. Halp. There is an MSNBC article about contractors.

NO ONE KNOWS WHO HIRES THEM. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY DO.

tHOMAS WHITE WARNED ABOUT THEM. Someone please ref this article.

[vetwife]

23. Remember the CIA help wanted on scroll line after 9-11

Wanted unsavory characters ! I remember. I guess those positions
are filled huh?

[Judi Lynn]

30. Is this the article, revcarol?

(snip)
Pentagon was warned in 2002 of contractors
Abuse scandal includes use of private interrogatorsThe Associated Press
Updated: 8:07 a.m. ET May 07, 2004WASHINGTON - A year before the Iraq invasion, the then-Army secretary warned his Pentagon bosses that there was inadequate control of private military contractors, which are now at the heart of controversies over misspending and prisoner abuse.

The author of that memo, retired Army chief Thomas White, told The Associated Press that the recent events show the Pentagon has a long way to go to fix the problems he identified in March 2002.
(snip)

In a sign of continued problems with the tracking of contracts, Pentagon officials on Thursday acknowledged they have yet to identify which Army entity manages the multimillion-dollar contract for interrogators like the one accused in the Iraq prisoner abuse probe.

20,000 contractors in Iraq

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld also acknowledged his department hasn’t completed rules to govern the 20,000 or so private security guards watching over U.S. officials, installations and private workers in Iraq.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Republicans shouldn't try to think so hard. It must give them horrid headaches.

Ridiculous last coupla calls. Urp.

[revcarol]

37. tHAT'S IT.

How many contractors in Iraq, who pays them, what do they DO

CACI MENTIONED SPECIFICALLY. nO ONE KNOWS WHAT CONTRACT THEY ARE UNDER, WHAT THEIR DUTIES ARE....

[Judi Lynn]

40. Thanks for bringing it up. I would have missed it otherwise.

Looks like a really good one.

[Cassandra]

42. This one?

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3339605/

The $87 Billion Money Pit
"Six months ago the administration decided to cut corners on normal bidding procedures and hand over large contracts to defense contractors like Bechtel and Halliburton on a limited-bid or no-bid basis. It bypassed the Iraqis and didn’t worry much about accountability to Congress. The plan was for “blitzkrieg” reconstruction. But by sacrificing accountability for speed, America is not achieving either very well right now. For months no one has seemed to be fully in charge of postwar planning. There has been so little transparency that even at the White House “it was almost —impossible to get a sense of what was happening” on the power problem, says one official privy to the discussions.
<snip>
Meanwhile a turf fight between USAID and the CPA has led Bremer to insist that the CPA take over the dispensing of some rebuilding contracts (though Natsios says he’s been reassured that the new CPA office “is not meant to replace USAID”). That may not solve anything: contractors in Iraq complain that the CPA’s staff consists largely of political appointees who don’t understand the process. “CPA is run by a bunch of political hacks and incompetents who have no idea what they’re doing,” said a project manager for a firm working on a major USAID contract. “Every time we turn around there’s a new order coming from CPA, ‘Do it this way—no, do it that way instead.’ It’s just unbelievable.” Privately, some CPA officials admit the staff is less than the best the United States has to offer. Right now, “we’re not talking A-team, even B-team. We’re talking C-team,” says one official with the CPA. The Bush administration denies that any major changes are afoot, but all these problems have prompted a new reckoning back in Washington: Douglas Feith, Rumsfeld’s policy chief and a key official involved in postwar planning, is no longer sitting in on reconstruction meetings, NEWSWEEK has learned, and the White House has wrested oversight from the Pentagon."

[vetwife]

24. Who is the Commander in Chief? Where does the Buck stop !

[Mika]

29. The buck stops at the electorate level

Ultimately, we Americans are responsible. Its up to us to get rid of these criminals.

[Paradise]

31. with ya! n/t

[kaitykaity]

33. RWinger a laugh riot.

Couldn't count the talking points.

[BeachBuckeye]

34. "Oh, that one didn't work, lets try another one"

Republican family values? Funny!!!

[kaitykaity]

38. You were like a cat playing with a mouse.

Just kept batting him around. :evilgrin:

[guajira]

35. I too am disappointed in Kerry

I wish he would hire Kucinich to write his speeches!! Or maybe Kucinich and Sharpton together!

[Judi Lynn]

36. That would put back ALL the spark that's missing. n/t

[Mika]

39. hire Kucinich to write his speeches???

ROTFLMAOPMP

Thanks for that laugh, guajira. I really needed it. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

---

... because our Bonesman is better than their Bonesman

[revcarol]

77. At least DK said:

"The President LIED to the American people!!"

Kerry can't call a shovel a shovel.He loves the "go along to get along" scenario.

[Judi Lynn]

41. Yay, nostamj!

Great point on contractors.

I'm dying, learning the soldiers are actually being officially fed Rush Limbaugh daily. That's BOUND to rot their minds. They must be so addled by now.

[Dudley_DUright]

43. Darn, I just got back from my University's graduation ceremonies

and missed Jeff's call. :-( On the plus side, we had pianist (and harmonica player) George Winston give our commencement address and he played some great "hoedown" style harmonica. :-)

[nostamj]

48. well, there's always the archives!

;-)

George Winston... sweet!

[Dudley_DUright]

59. Even better

he comes to my University every other year or so to give a benefit concert (since he is an alum) and I just saw him give a concert a few months ago that included songs from his latest Doors (as in Jim Morrison and the) tribute album. Very sweet. :-)

[Judi Lynn]

44. This is the end of intelligence as we know it!

Glen Beck????? Omigod. Here's his photo:

That is the most bizarre kidnapping of logic I've EVER heard: John Kerry's responsible for the war in Iraq, due ultimately to his protesting the Viet Nam war. Jeezus.

[vetwife]

45. I had to leave for a bit...but heard about Kerry being blamed

That is NUTS ! You mean it wasn't Clinton's fault?

[vetwife]

46. He don't qualify as a man..He is a cartoon

[vetwife]

47. Losers and losing America

[vetwife]

49. Very Good Call

[Judi Lynn]

50. Wow. Great news from Eleanor "Roosevelt."

What an accent! Clean sweep for Democrats in her neck of the woods.
People turning out to protest Karl Rove at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University in Lynchberg, Va.

What a cool caller.

[suegeo]

51. Great rant!

Just on..Guy rants "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?" re: people who still think Bush is a man of character.


Amen brother. I have often wanted to scream this myself.

Kick from Minnesota!

[Judi Lynn]

52. Yay, DU'er contributor, Jeff Siemans, Democratic candidate.

Can't remember his DU name. Is it Angry White Democrat?

[nostamj]

58. originallly yes

it was Angry White Democrat

then it was AWD

(he's not on DU anymore, don't ask!)

here's the graphic I did for the campaign:

[vetwife]

53. Oh Goodness..Sell your soul for a parking pass..Scary !

[Dudley_DUright]

54. Here is Jeff's campaign website

http://www.jeffseemannforcongress.com/

[Judi Lynn]

55. Excellent. Thank you! n/t

[obietiger]

also

http://www.jeff4ohio.com/

easy to remember!

[Dudley_DUright]

61. Thanks

I googled his site before he actually gave out the new addresses during his call.

[kaitykaity]

56. "Stop the vanilla campaign, Senator!"

Go get him, Guy!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[nostamj]

63. Molly Ivins has said

that he needs more ELVIS...

i'm ready for this to SHAKE THINGS UP

[kaitykaity]

64. I don't know.

I kind of like the fact that Kerry can sit back in the
weeds and let Bush dig a deeper and deeper hole.

I also like the picture I've seen of Kerry playing hockey.
It's a very masculine, very "alpha" picture.

I just want this six months to be over so we can put an
end to all the pain.

[Dudley_DUright]

65. Kerry does play some guitar

but more in the classical style. He needs to learn some rock power cords and do a Clinton (as in playing Sax) and jam with Dave Letterman's band. That would be Elvis.

[LWolf]

57. Here just in time to here Guy on a rant.

The "vanilla" campaign. "It's up to you, Senator Kerry, to keep the fire going."

Thank you, Guy. I hope he is listening. These are words of wisdom.

"Contrast yourself with Bush."

[Malva Zebrina]

62. WOW--it's time to display your convictions

don't you think the voters deserve that?

Kudos to Guy James on this one.

He is expressing the concerns of a lot of people who are against the Bush and doing it well

"You've got to light the fire "

Al Gore campaign "morass" don't fall into it.

[vetwife]

66. Thanks Guy !

Letter went out this morning !

[Dudley_DUright]

67. Yeah!

Guy is reading Vetwife's letter to John Kerry on the air.

[guajira]

68. Love You Guy - But Edwards NO!!!!

He didn't win primaries, two Senators not good, Edwards not experienced, has same old same old - my parents were mill-workers and now look at me! UGH!!

On other hand - General Wesley Clark - there is a man!

[vetwife]

It lists how much damage has been done and has already swayed some voters. I promised and I mean it.......The whole point was to Get the word out ! Now.....Lets Take it Back
I list my name, my credentials and am the one who called Katherine Harris on CNN about her disenfranchising voters in Florida.
Won the C-Span contest and mean what I say !

[LWolf]

:hi:

[Judi Lynn]

75. Thanks to Guy James for a great show.

Left us with a lot to think about, concerning sneaky plans to try to voter-purge the whole country.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Local note I just heard on my local tv station's 5:00 p.m. news. The town's big paper, the Kansas City Star, (which, I am hacked to mention, is managed by very conservative types in the present) has formally recommended firing Don Rumsfeld's @$$.

If the K. C. Star has done this, you can be sure far more actions are right ahead across the country.
