Image that, another uninformed Repuke student |
|
Tweety is talking to students at George Washington University, and he asked a self proclaimed Republican about his key issues for the election. The idiot spewed off the RNC talking points about global test, pre-emptive strike necessity, yada yada.
How can someone that uninformed, who obviously reads NOTHING, and is so intellectually deficit be in college? If he wasn't such a moral coward, he would march his sorry ass down to the recruiter's office and sign up. But of course, he's Republican, and he wont. Fucker. I'd like to choke the sorry ass punk.

13. The sad thing is that he won't because he's already going in with a |
|
stupid mindset. Closed mind. Brings up a point that really kills me. The idea that there should be more rightwing professors and what not.
College is the time of life when the mind should be open. The call for more rightwing teachers is a call for total indoctrination, not education.
The idea that there should be rightwing teachers in elementary through high school boggles my mind. What. Our children shouldn't strive to make things better?! Nah. I guess we need to teach 'em how to be money grubbing misers so they won't waste all the money we worked so hard to get.
Arrrgh! I know it's off topic, but this education thing sticks in my craw.

3. One asked about Heinz...talk about drinking kool-aid |
|
This babe must have been breast-fed the stuff til she was 18.
Upshot: female college repugican asks if Kerry was so against outsourcing why does Heinz have over 100 plants in other countries.
Tweety to his half credit asked if these were jobs created there or moved from here, then Andrea Greenspan gave Ron Reagan the official spin that "Teresa doesn't control the company". Remember when that answer wasn't sufficient. Now it's their fallback. How the worm as turned.
Of course no one mentioned that Heinz produces FOOD products in those countries and it's a lot smarter and more efficient to make the ketsup we well to the French in FRANCE and take their money than to get the tomatoes from India or China like the manchild would favor.

7. They came across better |
|
It was interesting in that in the first part of the show, there were vastly more Kerry supporters. In the second half of the show, they rounded up a bunch of repukes, and they asked them alot more questions. Every one they asked a question of was a moron.
There were a couple of idiot Kerry supporters as well, but by and large they were better informed and better spoken.

9. An old friend of my sons came by the house earlier tonight... |
|
He is twenty years old helps his father run thier ranch when he isn't getting sloshed, I asked him who he was voting for, he said "that Bush guy", quote, I was not exactly stunned by his obvious stilted answer knowing his very real redneck ties close to home, and so I asked a simple "Why", his answer...
"Cause he's from Texas and ain't a wimp like that Yankee" his only response...
I laughed at him, and told him Bsh's favorite choice of liquor was Scotch...
Geez, the mindset of some pro bushies, so I knew how to get to him with the above question, very simplistic and kind of inane to just say that particular statement but for some of the more simple minded Bush supporters, it's all that's needed...
He then says, "he ain't no dang Texan", I don't think he is going to vote at all now so horrified was he by this knowledge, thank God, he didn't have a clue about any policies whatsover other than he was from Texas and I would assume that that may very well be all thats needed for some, he didn't want to hear from me the issues at hand, it was enough to know Bush favored Scotch that will lose him a vote. (sigh)
And you have to wonder why, if his daddy is so pro Bush, why his sons have not enlisted in Bushie's war games...and why he doesn't even want them to join up...

most colleges will take anyone who has a reasonable high school transcript and anything but a negative SAT score, as long as the parents can pay the tuition.
There are PLENTY of college students who care about nothing but TV, sports, sex, drinking, fashion, blockbuster movies, pop music, and video games. They're majoring in business or engineering, so while they may have to study (especially the engineers), they never take any classes that challenge their suburban consumerist mindset.

12. It was the same when I was in school in the 70's |
|
and I was in the College of Engineering. I took courses in English literature, philosophy, and history as my electives and as courses of interest, and I never saw any of my fellow engineering students in those courses.
I came out of school less prepared to find a job because I had a delusion that being well educated, grounded in ethics, and knowledgeable about world events mattered. I remember telling a recruiter who asked me what did I want out of life that I was interested in doing innovative, high quality work, but that I did not want to be so consumed by the task that I had no time for thinking or reading about subjects outside my field. The look I got was priceless.
