In letter to Bush, Moore clarifys Kerry's position on Iraq

[Rose Siding]

snip>
I know you hate the words "flip" and "flop," so I won't use them both on you. In fact, I'll use just one: Flop. That is what you are. A huge, colossal flop. The war is a flop, your advisors and the "intelligence" they gave you is a flop, and now we are all a flop to the rest of the world. Flop. Flop. Flop.

And you have the audacity to criticize John Kerry with what you call the "many positions" he has taken on Iraq. By my count, he has taken only one: He believed you. That was his position. You told him and the rest of congress that Saddam had WMDs. So he -- and the vast majority of Americans, even those who didn't vote for you -- believed you. You see, Americans, like John Kerry, want to live in a country where they can believe their president.

That was the one, single position John Kerry took. He didn't support the war, he supported YOU. And YOU let him and this great country down. And that is why tens of millions can't wait to get to the polls on Election Day -- to remove a major, catastrophic flop from our dear, beloved White House -- to stop all the flipping you and your men have done, flipping us and the rest of the world off.

1. Word to his mother.

I hope Kerry busts something like this out during the debates.

11. and to a lot of DUrs who berated Kerry for his vote

he's been straight as an arrow.

12. Disagreeing with his vote has nothing to do with calling him crooked

I still disagree with his vote. I'm glad Moore has revealed what looks like an effective way to defend it. I didn't support Bush at any point but Moore is smart and has provided a rationale that may appeal to other former supporters of Bush's war.

13. It's true

I completely disagree with Kerry's vote, but I love Moore's rationale. My own feeling was more like "I gave you the authority to act in America's best interest and you fucked it up royally. If you think I'm going to give you more money with which to fuck things up even more, you are sadly mistaken."

2. I will have to quote him

and use it in my arguments. This is very clear and concise such that even Scrub might be able to understand it after Condie Rice reads it to him.

3. Good letter, Mike

Too bad Dubya won't read it. Too long and wordy for him. Needs condensing, paraphrasing and a little less detail.

4. and some cute goat pictures n/t

[glitch]

6. Bush can't flip

Short enough?
Bush can only flop like a fish out of water, the presidency does not suit him.

5. nomination category: best use of 4-letter words beginning with "f"

[NYCGirl]

7. WOW.

Just WOW.

8. Michael Moore comes through again...

I wish his letter to bush could be spread far and wide and not just read by the thousands who can read it on his web.

"Flop, Flop, Flop!

9. MM took the words out of my mouth!!

Thank you MM.... you must have been reading my posts :)



Leave off the flip and just tell the TRUTH-He is a FLOP

They should have said it LONG ago.

Flop on the war
Flop on the economy
Flop on Health Care
FLOP, FLOP, FLOP

It should not matter if you are a flip,that is the mark of an intelligent person when they gain additional information.

They need to pound it in that the problem is that when Bush FLIPS he really FLOPS.

That would not be hard at all for the No Doz American to understand.

10. awesome- MM is the greatest!

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

14. Bush is just a flop!

That's it! That should be the Democrats' ad tag lines (they should not
explicitly say that while "Kerry may flip flop, Bush is just a flop")!

(A huge thanks to MM!)

[RobertDevereaux]

15. MM is always worth a kick!

[FirstDoNoHarm]

16. Why is this not breaking news?

We need Moore in the headlines to help Kerry sell it to middle America!

17. Sad

The sad thing is Bush will never see it, Rove will take care of baby Shrub.
