If a tele-evangelist has convinced the disabled old lady to hand over her quarters or the young girl to sell her bike, we would hear nothing but disgust for him. Yet, these people offer the almost the same “follow-me-and-life-will-be-better” tripe.

From Teresa Kerry,

“He believes we can, and will, invent the technologies, new materials and conservation methods of the future. He believes that alternative fuels will guarantee that not only will no American boy or girl go to war because of our dependency on foreign oil. But also that our economic security will forever become independent of this need.”

Note “I believe”. If you want to understand the true vacuousness of this statement, take a trip over to USS Clueless and learn a little about alternate energy sources.

Cheney was pretty much right when he said, “There’s coal, gas, oil, hydro, and nuclear”.

I loved the end of THK speech.

“With John Kerry as President, global climate change and other threats to the health of our planet will begin to be reversed.”

So John has a program to cool off the sun?
