Saw something infuriating in someone's profile.

" An old farmer and a doctor were talking about Senator John Kerry possibly being in the White House one day. The old farmer said, "Well, ya know, that Mr. Kerry is what we call a 'post turtle'."
Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old man said, "You know. When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle."
The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor stupid fool get down so he can crawl away." "

So, is Bush the better alternative? He wants to keep soldiers in Iraq indefinitely. If you vote for him, you're basically voting for the death of all our buddies that are joining this ridiculous foreign entanglement. What the fuck is wrong with people? We seem to love war. Bush is the post turtle, guys; he got up there because his family is just a political legacy (with the money to fund his campaign, I might add), and now that he's there, he's doing nothing but ignoring civil rights, regressing Clinton's programs, and killing people while driving the government in a spiraling debt. It's also noteworthy that we pretty much have no allies left. Rise of conservatism = rise of war.
