Kerry's 'facts' just don't add up

From : gigolo kerry

Q: yesterdays flip vs. tomorrows flop is this kerrys last stand by david limbaugh posted oct 1 2004 ironically the person who has benefited most from john kerrys reputation for flip-flopping is john kerry himself because hes not so much a flip-flopper as a fundamentally dishonest person which his reputation for flip-flopping tends to conceal. of course democrats and the partisan media prefer to euphemize kerrys frenetic policy changes citing them as evidence of his mental acuity. hes not a flipper but a genius. but if they really believed his flips were something to celebrate they wouldnt have made such a colossal deal of his recent iraq speech in new york. kerry made major that day simply for stating his position on iraq less equivocally than hes been willing to do in the past. all of his supporters expressed a collective sigh of relief that hed finally arrived at a position that would substantively distinguish him from president bush on iraq. the partisan media looked on wistfully as john kerry in essence finally said no i wouldnt have gone to iraq. america is not safer than it was before saddams removal. bush is a lying scumbag . . . blah blah blah. raw political expedience nevertheless liberals continue the charade that kerrys customary refusal to stick with a position is a positive. not long ago a liberal elitist columnist spent his entire 700 words laboring to recast kerrys embarrassing self-contradictions as the product of an enlightened thinker poised for leadership. another suggested that kerrys 180s show admirable flexibility in a man who is willing to examine new evidence and adapt to changing circumstances. others have said that kerrys flops flow from his sophistication complexity and ability to appreciate nuance. comedy centrals jon stewart told katie couric that efforts to paint kerry as a flip-flopper are silly and not really the case. i agree with stewart that these efforts to paint kerry as a flip-flopper are silly though not in the sense he surely means it but rather in that they trivialize a deeper flaw in kerry. that is when republicans characterize kerry as a flip-flopper they leave the impression that hes merely wishy-washy irresolute and indecisive. while he certainly changes his positions almost as often as he takes a stance i dont think his flips are a result of changes of heart but the cold political calculations of a dangerously opportunistic customer. if he truly changed his mind as often as he changes his positions wed have conclusive evidence of his mental instability. kerry knows exactly what he believes but often cant afford to be honest about it. but it is his real beliefs more than his vintage vacillations that scare me the most. theres a big difference between changing your mind to accommodate changed circumstances and reconsidering a position due to a change in the direction of the political winds. i dont have the space or patience to rehash all of kerrys changed policies on iraq culminating in his confession to david letterman that if he were president we would not be in iraq. but i am confident that none of his flips were a result of thoughtfulness or even of indecisiveness but raw political expedience. kerry the narcissist i have no idea if john kerry truly ponders issues carefully and deliberately. perhaps he does in contemplating his next checkers move. but frankly on policy decisions its hard to envision him weighing anything other than their potential impact on his political fortunes because at his core john kerry is plainly a narcissist. all indications are that john kerry is not a deliberative thoughtful guy. do you remember his reaction to the publication of the 9/11 commission report he was so anxious to use that report as a weapon against president bush that he advocated adopting all of its recommendations before hed even had time to read it--heck before evelyn wood would have had time to speed read it. i was struck by the sheer irresponsibility of kerrys precipitous pronouncement on the report. no serious person could claim that his headlong lurch to embrace the commissions recommendations was born of nuance complexity thoughtfulness deliberation flexibility or leadership. it was abject reckless political posturing. and when president bush refused to uncritically and immediately ratify every syllable in the report he was hardly hailed by the phony nuance idolaters for his thoughtfulness. indeed enormous political pressure was brought to bear on bush to throw all caution and leadership to the wind and he stood his ground. the partisan media arent interested in thoughtfulness or nuance but in portraying john kerry in the most favorable light. given the nature of the man they have their work cut out for them. .

craig christian wrote this is simply bovine excrement. more people prospered between the years 1992-2000 than at any time in recent history and certainly any time that a we had a republican president ... ever. clintons economic plan created jobs. unemployment was at record lows under him more so than any other president in recent history. clintons plan didnt create jobs. a technology boom fueled by people willing to invest trillions into these high-risk stocks created the money supply for the jobs. economists in the 90s had stated over and over it was a sure plan for collapse but investors saw the market keep going up and dove in head first. when these companies failed as predicted the market collapsed. you can spin it how you want but it was an economy that had no backbone to stay afloat. if you look back a history this country has always done better from a financial standpoint under democratic leadership. 90% of the recession recovery and 100% of depression recovery have been under an elected democrat. carter during clintons years the unemployment averaged higher than it is now. when clinton came into office the economy was growing. when he left the economy was falling. funny if the election were between her and bush ... id vote for her. bush is a moron ... over 50% of americans think so not to mention what the rest of the world thinks. and 50% of americans think kerry is worthless. whats your point and yes what the rest of the world thinks does matter. we cannot continue to be a world leader with the majority of the world as our enemy. we can not allow the world to dictate our policies nor ask the un to protect us. .

tbone wrote sorry guy you can keep your head buried in the sands of fear all you want and refuse to see the writing on the wall but it is still there just the same. i never said that kerry was great but bush is worse and i doubt that the country can afford four more years of him running it. kerry scares me more. the only one worse than kerry would be edwards. anyone who scammed millions due to his own lawyers greed should not be anywheres near the whitehouse. oh but i forgot. excessive blatent greed is ok as long as youre a democrat. .

really what exactly did bush do to stop terror prior to 9/11. oh thats right spending money prior to an actual attack on his watch would have made it difficult for him to institute his tax cut for the wealthy. even a was and sending in our troops without the proper equipment isnt enough to stop him from making his friends richer still. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving lets see....clinton had the same info that bush had.... what did clinton do kerry if elected he will stand by when attacked and do nothing as clinton did nothing to stop terror...and this will lead to greater boldness and bigger attacks on america....which will lead to war. just as we entered late into wwii...we let the germans get more entrenched and stronger causing more deaths in the fight. hit them hard and fast at the very start as in iraq... and never let up until finished... .

did i miss something did you report anything yet not yet. im on the 3rd tank w/ emp now. the first tank didnt count because i bought a boat right after i started the test and had to tow it to the lake a few times g. of course my mileage was worse because of that. the second tank i used no emp since i was still haulin the boat around. the third tank was my 2nd dose of emp and am now 1/2 way thru the third dose of emp. tank1 boat towing was 9.5 so we throw that one out. tank2 w/emp was 10.8 tank3...to be determined. of course it needs to be an average and although my couple of tanks before the test averaged 10.2 my overall average has been 10.9. that however was with freeway driving as well. lately its been no freeway hence the 10.2 and im trying to keep it that way for the test to be as fair as possible. --mike this morning i topped of my 35 gallon tank and added 7 oz of enviromax plus out of the bottle jon moser sent to me last week. my last 2 fillups in my 03 qc 4x4 hemi resulted in an average mpg of 10.2. ugly i know but its been all around town lately. this stuff isnt cheap and at $22/16oz it will add $9.625 to each fillup. at 2.00/gal my total fuel cost would be $79.625. 10.2 mpg without emp costs me $0.196 per mile. with emp assuming no gain each mile now costs me $0.223 per mile. i will need a 12% gain in fuel economy to break even. now in fairness the maintenance dose of emp is 1oz/10 gallons not 5 so the break even level goes down but since i dont have enough product to get to the maintenance level i will stick with the 10oz/5 gallon figure for the test. ill report back next week with the results of the first tank. --mike mike did i miss something did you report anything yet -- fmb only one b in fmb .

steve as a convert from the ford family of trucks now a proud ram 1500 owner i can say that i definantly believe the ram is more of a real truck. i got to look at a 04 ford the other day didnt know ford started using plastic bumpers... to tow anything you have to get the tow/haul package in which they install a receiver hitch... but still a plastic bumper give me a break. ill take my dodge and the steel bumper any day. i think the 05 trucks from every manufacturer except dodge are absolute crap. the dodge on the other hand with all their models still make a truck. they look like trucks. they drive like trucks and they work like trucks. steve rear drum brakes are not all that bad for all cases. ever drive on a rainy day on those days i prefer drums. i also never have had warped drums which is all too common with disc rotors. its a matter of preference and for me it just doesnt matter as there are pros and cons to both. dodge went with 17 rims as well because of the larger rotors. thing is stopping distance didnt increase and is on par with other manufactures braking even though they have smaller rotors and 16 rims. one-shot scot wrote i dont know about dodge but gm has taken a few steps backward with its 2005 silverado and sierra 1500-series trucks there are 3 differences in standard equipment for 2005 2004 2005 4-wheel disk brakes front disc/rear drum brakes p235/75r16 tires p245/70r17 tires max rating 2271 lbs. max rating 2205 lbs. rear axle 3.42 ratio rear axle 3.23 ratio the other difference is the epa rating of the 2005 truck with the following equipment 4-spd automatic transmission vortec 4800 v8 sfi gas engine 2004 2005 city 17/highway 20 city 16/highway 21 after 6 years of using rear disc brakes gm made the decision to go back to antiquated drum brakes on the rear of its 2005 1500-series trucks to save money. even though drum brakes have more parts than disc brakes and are harder to service they are less expensive to manufacture. in a feeble attempt to give some credibility to its decision to reinstate the old fashioned rear drum brake system gm has made the brake drums bigger. this improvement was undoubtedly done to increase stopping power and heat dissipation. now gm would like us to believe that its rear drum brakes are superior to its earlier rear disk brakes. however gm has stopped short of putting drum brakes on the front of its trucks -- at least for the 2005 model year. unfortunately the newly-designed rear drum brake system of the 2005 1500-series trucks has a drum which is now so large that it requires the use of a 17-inch rim in order to give it adequate clearance. the use of this larger rim necessitates the use of lower profile tires so the load capacity of the 4 standard-equipment tires of the 2005 truck is reduced by 264 pounds when compared to the standard tires which were on the 1999-2004 1500-series trucks with 16-inch rims. it appears that gm has used the new 3.23 rear axle ratio to obtain higher highway mileage in the 2005 truck. there will now be a decrease of 4th-gear power of around 6% and the lower city rating indicates that there will also be an increase in down-shifting. in my opinion this is another big step backward. heres what the gmc website has to say in regard to technological advances what is professional grade its a commitment to a higher standard of innovative engineering design and performance. as of the 2005 model year this statement became total bullshit. so what does gms backward technology and product degradation have to do with dodge plenty! dodge may have followed suite and downgraded its trucks as well. watch out! http//www.gmc.com/index.jspversion=flash .

wrong!!! wrong!!! wrong!!! yes you are but we are used to it. turbo manufacturer engineers work with vehicle manufacturer engineers to determine a workable dependable configuration which can still be changed for more or less boost. iow the relationship between the turbine and compressor section is optimized for the turbo size and design type at its factory and not adjustable without tearing down the turbo and swapping housings. i think that is what i already said. look at some of the ricer sites. they swap turbines compressors and housings all the time. look at some turbo manufacturer sites and see the options listed troll-boy. i already did and while this is possible it still requires you to remove and rebuild the turbo and is not in the same modification class as changing drive pulleys on a supercharger. iow you are still wrong. btw did you forget i spent about 6 mos as the mopar v-8 tech on a turbocharging site i spent many hours looking over turbo configurations and how they worked with mopar engines. and you still got it wrong especially with youur connection to the waste gate and turbo lag. in my honest personal opinion i am a person of unproven abilities and / or knowledge and a self-confessed group troll. therefore i suggest everything i offer as an answer in any response to be accepted only after thoroughly being tested and checked against known sources. so true. -- budd pres. bush john kerry has changed his position on the iraq war so many times he could debate himself. b.c. and lose. tom if you really knew anything about turbocharging youd know the size relationship between turbine and compressor sections also affects output volume and pressure. a waste gate only limits max pressure and affects spool up time somewhat. if you really had a clue you would know just how stupid what you just said sounds and how much farther off the topic you are from what im accuse of being. the relationship between the turbine and compressor section is optimized for the turbo size and design type at its factory and is not adjustable without tearing down the turbo and swapping housings so it has no meaning here. the waste gate regulates boost pressure as you said but has no effect whatsoever on spool up time turbo lag. spool up time is effected by the rotating mass and the configuration of the turbine housing so i guess that you dont know as much as you think you do. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .
