J. Denvir's Brood*

As democratic primaries across the nation draw nearer, its about time for us democrats to choose a candidate to endorse. Is it the smooth talking Sharpton? The firebrand Dean? The War Hero Clark? That tired face, Gephardt? It's your own decision, but know this: Grandfather Twilight and his Forest Creatures have cast their lot in with Dennis Kucinich, or so claims his website.

Here is an excerpt of an interview with Grandfather Twilight and a concerned citizen, Barbara Helen Berger.

GT: Children are dying from bombs and guns. The moon sees all of this. But she also sees something else. It is like a dream. Such a good dream, I could hardly believe it at first.

BHB: Tell me!

GT: There is a brave, truth-telling man from Ohio. His name is Dennis Kucinich, a Congressman who is running for President. As you know, I tend to be a calm old man, but when I heard Dennis speak, I got excited. He plans to create a Department of Peace. At last! Why has no one done it before? This is exactly how a wise President should think, what a good President should do! (GT thumped a gentle fist on the table.)


Sounds a little red to me, Gramps. I'll stick with Sharpton.

Is Grandfather Twilight an organism comprised of hallucinations?

I don't get it....

Uh no. He's actually a well respected political pundit. (He was the old host of CNN's Crossfire, before Tucker Carlson.) And the forest creatures are all of his children...our children.

Yeah, I didn't bother to read your blog, but did notice that you mentioned the Democratic primaries(probably because it was in the first sentence). So please let me say, as narrow-mindedly as possible, don't bother choosing the best, Democratic candidate, for all your efforts will be in vain. Bush will be re-elected in '04, then within the next four years the Constitution will be 'corrected' by removing the limits of power and (you thought FDR was in there a long time) Bush will continue the fine job he has been doing since he was first elected.
But really folks, what's with not mentioning Kerry as a presidential possibility? He'd make a fine President. (laughing out loud and slapping knee)

MARIO IS A DOUCHE, INDEED, JRUSS.

Go party with Scorpion Dwyer. Kerry is a nobody, he didn't even write a book (I don't think)[check Today's Post]. As for the rest of your comment, I'm having difficulty discerning what is in fact the typical Dwyer deadpan sarcasm and what is truth. Enlighten me.

Honestly, I really think that Bush a shoe-in for this upcoming election. I do not say this as a fan of his because I am not, though I do consider myself more conservative than liberal. I think that most of middle America(which the Democrats have overlooked far too long, but rather fighting for the minority vote) is incredibly pleased with Bush's performance.
It also helps the right that the Democratic Party is so divided over so many candidates. By the time the party does choose a presidential candidate, many voters whose preliminary choice didn't make it(which will be the majority, since there are about 50,000 different Democratic, presidential hopefuls)may not support the official candidate and may not vote at all. Now, it seems that Republicans will support their party's candidate and vote for him no matter what. This is a characteristic that long belonged to the Democratics.
I'm sorry if my ideas don't flow as smoothly as Klaus' or lack the witticisms of West or JRuss, but this is without any sarcasm and my honest opinion the currect politicos.

FUCK YOU, R.IVY! AND WARIO, TOO

speaking of bush, i was wondering, could he serve two more terms? i'm asking this because he wasn't exactly elected into his first term, he was appointed by the courts. just wondering if that's a technicality he could cash in on.

Posted by: sdsfad at December 3, 2003 06:26 PM

In response to Saul - I understand what you're saying and technically don't know the answer. I believe that the law says that the president can only serve two terms in office, disregarding whether he was elected or not. (For example: Vice Presidents) Also, I doubt Bush would exploit whatever technicality was available because he wants people to think that he was legitimately elected, rather than appointed. He would also be loath to exploit it because it would most definitely 1) alienate voters and 2) cast illegitmacy on his first term.

(Yes saul, I know I told you this over IM, I'm just responding here in case anyone else has any thoughts, so HOLD YER TONGUE)

As for Dwyer:

Come on Dwyer. Listen to yourself, you defeatist fuck. "Bush is a shoe in," "the majority of Americans are satisfied with his performance." Have you read any opinion polls recently dude? Last I checked, CNN tells me the country is virtually split on his performance, with more and more people growing disatisfied with his performance in Iraq specifically his lack of postwar planning and his dishonesty about his reasons for going there to begin with. Are there any WMD? No.

As for the democrats, most democrats I've talked to are either apathetic about the current candidates or they are split over who they support, but one thing that every single one of them has said is that no matter who eventually gets the nomination be it Clark or Sharpton, they will vote for ANYONE BUT BUSH. In fact, thats their fucking mantra. "Anyone but Bush."

Yes, the country has in fact become more conservative. I would place it right now as the majority being center-right, evidenced by the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. But one thing you need to realize is that not only is the majority in the Senate 51-49, and the House split closely, but THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS VOTED FOR GORE in the 2000 elections, and that Bush was confirmed as President through THE COURTS, which is unprecedented.

The reason the Republicans have been so successful in getting elected is because they, unlike the Democrats have been successful in pandering to the centrist swing vote (minorities included), while the Democrats are more concerned with infighting. The key to beating Bush is for the Democrats to nominate a candidate that has the appeal of voters who potentially might vote Republicans, but who still maintains Democratic convictions. A good example of this is...WESLEY CLARK. So vote for him. PEACE.

bush is a dumbass but sadly the majority of americans are dumbasses right along with him. In Effingham, IL there is a massive cross (approx. 50 ft. high, 20ft wide) right next to the highway. the guys i know keep hunting rifles under their beds, my close relatives denounce harry potter as devil worship and a seemingly liberal, well adjusted teenager friend of mine currently refuses to speak to me because i'm pro-abortion. there's some fucked up shit going on out here in the midwest but still, we exist and we're growing rapidly. the retail markets in kansas city, st. louis, omaha, cleavland etc. are some of the best in the nation and that's not going to change anytime soon. you don't see this because you're on the east coast but the midwest is like a different world. so before saying that nobody is stupid enough to re-elect an asshole like bush, consider the fact that westpoint regularly recruits from my school, both of my ex-boyfriends went to bible study in the morning and wrote "damn A-RABS" all over their lockers after sept. 11th. those are the people you democrats are up against.

Posted by: 4inchdick at December 3, 2003 08:20 PM

Trevor, we both know that approval ratings are drastically different depending on the sources you investigate. While CNN or MSNBC claim Bush is wavering in the 40 and 50th percentiles, my good buddy Bill O'Reilly of Fox will gladly announces that Bush has a approval rate between 65 and 75%. No bullshit, they fluxuate that much. So I always assume it's the middle.

And just so ya know. The electoral college serves a valuable purpose in that it accounts for every fucking vote placed for a candidate. It is a fact that during the first Kennedy election, when he was running against Nixon(and also happens to be the closest election in history), that the Mayor of Chicago stuffed every fucking ballot box in all of the city in Kennedy's favor. There was literally one forged vote for every legitimate vote. And if it hadn't been for that, the popular election is imagined to have gone in Nixon's favor.
Gore's childish crying about how he was cheated have caused even Democrats such as Bill Bradley(however biased he may have been) and Dennis Miller to commend Nixon on his 'taking it like a man'.
And you know as well as I do that all the Dems saying that 'Bush was not elected, but rather selected' is fucking bull. Either way the Supreme Court was making a selection.
The point is:
R.IVY FUCKED WARIO, I KNOW SHE DID. THAT LYING BITCH

Posted by: William Dwyer at December 3, 2003 08:48 PM

except, dude, bush WAS selected, and if there had been a true recount, gore would be our president, not just by popular vote, but by electoral vote as well. it's a fact.

Posted by: fsdgf at December 3, 2003 11:20 PM

Trevor is always right.

Posted by: 4inchdick at December 4, 2003 12:18 AM

Ok Dwyer. You win on the approval ratings. I'll admit that everyone knows you can prove just about anything with numbers.

As for the Electoral College...while everything you said about it is true, you are fundamentally mistaken on the fact that it was under its auspices that Bush was selected as President. The Supreme Court made an unprecedented decision to terminate the recounting of ballots that potentially would have shown that Gore had beaten Bush in Florida, giving him Florida's votes in the college. Its rather presumptuous to declare that Gore should "take his defeat like a 'man' of Nixon's stature," when he was actually illegally denied the chance to count fully his legal votes in the name of politcal expediency.

Anyways, Nixon was a piece of shit, and we're STILL dealing with the remnants of his regime. Read Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and their neoconservative flunkies. All of them served in the Nixon Administration under people like Kissinger and Haig, and used that experience to tailer their jingoistic policies of restructuring the Middle East. What the hell do you think the War in Iraq is about? Not WMD. Not Terrorism. And certainly not about the Iraqi people. It was a cold, strategic move that had been planned before September 11, marketed after it, and sold to an ignorant, malleable and fearful public, and its gonna be a problem of ours for many years to come. So take your goddamn shoe in candidate and shove him back up the right wing's ass because this country doesn't want him.

just a quick thing to add:
Being the open-minded individual that I am, I read both conservative news pieces and liberal rag. Check the Washington Times, the Florida recount that didn't count was in Bush's favor. It was precocious and irresponsible for National news services to report that Bush had won Florida before the voting was over, whiched caused several hundred thousand Californians to go and vote for Gore(for which Dan Rather, Peter Jennings, and others later apologized for). Now I doubt that the votes in Florida would have given Bush the national vote, but in response to kgfhsd, that gave Bush the electoral vote.

and how could i forget:

FUCK YOU RASHAUN, FFUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKKK YOU!

Posted by: William Dwyer at December 4, 2003 09:41 AM

Dwyer. Fuck the Washington Times, its owned and run by a fucking cult. Read, The Moonies. Don't take anything that propaganda piece says as truth.

Posted by: Nostradamus at December 4, 2003 07:57 PM

dwyer don't air your dirty laundry in the public blog! but its nice to know that there is a conservative in the ranks. trevor is fighting the liberal battle pretty well on this one so ill stick it out on the sidelines... but i must know...

who is 4inchdick???

Posted by: sw at December 4, 2003 10:17 PM

It's obviously YOU, from what JANET tells me. HAHAHAHA AH HHAHAHAHAHA ah.

Posted by: Nostradamus at December 5, 2003 12:25 AM

one cool thing about the moonies is that they get all the movie screening oppurtunities they have in the back.

Posted by: JRuss at December 5, 2003 10:41 AM

Sam, about the dirty laundry: fair enough, but i'll continue to slander rashaun in the e-mail link.

Trevor, comparing the washington times and the moonies? that's wrong. that is just wrong. the moonies are a decent and respectable organization.

Posted by: William Dwyer at December 5, 2003 01:42 PM

Dude, I never compared them. The Moonies OWN the fucking Washington Times, look it up.

Posted by: Nostradamus at December 5, 2003 05:55 PM

The public is wonderfully tolerant. It forgives everything except genius.
