Hey, southern "Folks" Kerry doesn't share your values

[AlCzervik]

Did you know that? Because thats what Bush is saying about you and Kerry. I guess he thinks that y'all share his alleged "Values".

[Not Me]

1. The word "Values" is code

to his base.

[OSheaman]

5. It means Kerry doesn't hate gays, blacks and feminists

. . . which seemingly constitutes "southern values."

15. Hi OSheaman!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[OSheaman]

17. Thanks

:-)

Glad to be here.

[Bluebear]

18. OSheaman, welcome aboard!

[redqueen]

22. Hi Osheaman!

Welcome to DU!

:hi:

And btw, from this born & raised Dallasite, that definition is crap. :)

Yeah we probably have more than our fair share of bigoted idjits, but by and large they keep their mouths shut about it in public. They know they're pariahs.

[2Design]

2. bush doesn't have any values....he is a torturer... as slave master

and he has two in the WH....who continue to do his bidding and call him husband...

[AlCzervik]

3. I hope the south rises up

and puts him in his place.

[trof]

8. I'm risin' as fast as I can.

Phone banks, voter registration.

[redqueen]

26. I'm starting to get a good feeling

I work in a very upscale neighborhood, and I've only seen 5 Bush/F-yourself stickers so far this year.

I have seen at least 10 Kerry stickers, and last week I had the pleasure of seeing one that said "Pro-America / Anti-Bush"

Plus Dallas elected as mayor a City Councilwoman who before that was a muckraking journalist for an independent weekly, and the resolution to not observe the Patriot Act was passed by the Dallas City Council recently.

:D

4. So Bushies* think Southerners like to torture, lie, steal, kill innocents

rob from the poor to give to the rich, reward their friends who cover for their crimes, while turning the entire world against their country--and all in the "name" of Jesus!

My, oh, My

[CharlesGroce]

6. thanks for the overstating the oversimplified

yankee.

[Bluzmann57]

7. Question: Doesn't this reinforce stereotypes about Southerners?

Is bushco trying to say that just because a person is a southerner they have to think a certain way? Why can't Kerry share views with a person from Alabama or Edwards share views with a person from New Hampshire? People are people and in this mobile society in which we live, you will find all sorts of viewpoints everywhere you go. I am a Midwesterner but I sure as hell don't want anyone telling me how I should think and I imagine people in the South, East, West or anywhere else feel the same way.

[Jacobin]

9. Oh, but you doesn't understand!!

Rush says its them elitist, snobby, French loving, leftist up in the northeast that are killing our country. Why, they even love the terraishts.

Kerry loves terrasists and he'll probably even make up with the French!

This cannot be allowed!!

[tnlefty]

12. You left out the preachers who tell their congregations the same...

you ain't goin' to heaven if you're a democrat

[AlCzervik]

10. During his very short press conference thats

exactly what he said..."Senator Kerry doesn't share the values of southerners" and i think thats pure bullshit.

[tnlefty]

11. Go Cheney yourself, Mr. Bush*

I've beat into my kids heads to NEVER use you as a role model in any shape, form or fashion! I want them to be decent human beings.

Oh yeah, and yo momma, too...

[vetwife]

13. This coming from a Connecicut chickenhawk? Oh yeah we

really believe him with all of his lies and crimes. He is a liar to to the end and that is the nicest thing I can say about him !
I am southern to the bone. American through the heart. patriotic from the soul ! I know what I am ..what is he?

[HFishbine]

14. That man has a lot of nerve

to come into MY backyard and tell me that MY candidate doesn't share my values.

[yardwork]

31. That's exactly the right response, and one I plan to use frequently

here in North Carolina.

A$$holes have a lot of nerve telling me what my values are and aren't. They have a lot of nerve shoving their poisonous ideology in my face and calling those my values.

I take deep exception to Shrub's comments about this. And no I will not sit down and be quiet!

[camero]

16. bush apparently shares southern values (sarcasm disclaimer)

[redqueen]

28. First - is that pic for real?! OMG!

And second - I consider that an insult. I'd appreciate it if you took that back.

[camero]

33. It was sarcasm

Duly corrected. Sorry if I offended.

The pic is from here: http://www.stopdubya.com/

[redqueen]

36. No biggie

Sorry to overreact.

Thanks for the disclaimer. :)

[Solly Mack]

19. Would that be John Edwards' south?

[JayS]

34. The South that Bush is talking about is in the...

...southern part of the "country" of Africa...in the 1980s. :)

[Solly Mack]

35. Heh

That's only made less funny because of how true it could be..

[redqueen]

20. He's a no-nothing liar is what he is

What the Cheney does he know about our values?!

:grr:

[porphyrian]

21. Well, he probably shops up north...

...oh, you mean that kind of value.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

23. i am a souther folk, and kerry shares more of my 'values' than bush!

[JayS]

24. I'll agree that Kerry is not that good of a fit down here but I have...

...no clue what values Bush is talking about. I guess I am just not rich enough to understand...

[GoneOffShore]

25. Talking to a Texan

on Sunday. He's from Dallas and his mom still lives there. She refers to * as a 'carpetbagger', which is exactly what he is.
He's a fine one to talk about values, he is. No morals, no ethics, no compassion and the instincts of a lizard.

[redqueen]

29. That's what I first called him!

In my post above I originally said he's a carpetbagger and a liar... but then I figured since he grew up here (sort of) he might not exactly fit that definition.

But trust me, that's what MANY MANY MANY of us think!

[Individualist]

27. Shrub values

war, death, destruction, wealth built on misfortunes of others, and power. I live in Tennessee, and I abhor his values.

[DaveSZ]

30. It is code

He's doing the same thing REagan did when he went to the spot where 3 civil rights workers had been killed by the Klan and proclaimed, "I believe in state's rights."

[OpSomBlood]

32. Dubya has Southern values...like every other kid from Kinnebunkport.

Perhaps he picked up his Southern values at Andover, maybe Yale.

What a fucking phony.

[tjwash]

37. What the hell does Shrub know about southern values?

He's from New Haven CT. and went to fucking Yale.
