W Stands for….

Posted on September 7, 2004 in Campaign 2004

John Kerry is on the offensive, turning his campaign towards the sniper in the White House. In a Labor Day speech to a crowd in Racine, West Virginia crowd, he lashed into the Pretender:

On every issue, from Iraq to health care, from jobs to education, W stands for wrong. Wrong choices. Wrong direction. It’s time for a president who will lead America in a new direction….Four years ago, George W. Bush told us he wanted to create an economy where there was “high-paying, high-quality work” for everyone. He now says prosperity has returned and we’ve turned the corner. Well, that’s just plain wrong. Most Americans I’ve met feel like they’ve been put in a corner. Prosperity hasn’t returned. We’ve lost jobs. Wages are down. Benefits are down. And George Bush is the first president since Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression to actually lose jobs. That’s George W. Bush. Wrong choices, wrong direction. It’s time for a president who will [turn] America in a new direction.

I’d like to add to Kerry’s list. Dubya doesn’t mean just wrong. It means:

• Wastrel: the man who squandered the deficit and is now aiming to do the same with Social Security.
• Wreck: Which is what he did to the country.
• Wretched: a draft-dodging, AWOL former National Guardsman who just can’t stand the fact that the man opposing him is an actual military hero.
• Weird: Do you want a man who says “Too many OB-GYNs aren’t able to practice their love with women all across this country” anywhere near your daughter?
• Wicked: What else describes someone who lies, steals elections, destroys incriminating documents, and sucker punches rugby opponents?
• Wishy-washy: especially when it comes to telling us why there weren’t any weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq or what happened to the surplus that Clinton and the Democrats created in 1994.
• Waning: Which is what happened to the confidence other nations have in our government and our people.
• Wanton: could care less what his policy of economic rape and pillage is doing to you and me.
• Worst: President ever.
• Washed-up: Let’s hope so!

Thanks to Andrea the Shameless Agitator for pointing to this speech.
