Hey, I'm a regular guy too. UPDATE: more added. GeorgeWBush.com :: Official Blog :: August 01, 2004 - August 07, 2004 Archive: "Second, cops and firefighters are, if the women in the ranks will forgive the expression, Regular Guys. They drink beer, not wine, and certainly not French wine. They played football and baseball in high school, not lacrosse... Regular Guys do not blame Secret Service agents (who are Regular Guys) for knocking them down on the ski slopes, especially when those agents are there to take bullets for them. And Regular Guys relate to and prefer the company of other Regular Guys; they do not invite people like Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck to their conventions. ..." Bush: Regular Guy* Wow. If this is not the natural evolution of Beer Marketing run amok I don't know what is. The question is, can we take any product, twist reality on its head, and make it appeal to anyone? Can we take a man that has never worked a real day in his life, who has never had to worry about mortgage payments, never had to think about choosing between going to the doctor or making rent, never had to worry about his kids getting a good education, and has never cried at the mere appearance of a credit card statement and sell him as a regular guy? Why yes we can! (insert blabbering partisan stupidity here: But Kerry is also a pampered rich elite as well....) Wow... you're right! The problem seems to be that we keep choosing rich people to lead a nation of middle class people. In fact if you read the biographies of the two candidates you'll see that they have alot in common. White, Rich, and heavily invested in the status quo that is steadily crushing regular guys. But reading through the Bush campaign Blog you get the impressiong that this race is all about football teams, frozen custard and beer drinking. Forget about health care, they both never needed to worry about that. Forget about jobs, their kids will have good careers no matter what. Forget about affordable housing, they each have homes we can only dream about. Forget about education, they could send their kids to good schools. Bush = rich Kerry = rich Can we get back to the issues and stop making this about "Taste great, Less filling" please? Leonardo DiCaprio : Born in 1974 (same as me) in LA to a comic book publisher and a legal secretary who divorced each other the year he was born, started acting early and did numerous commercials and tv bit roles till he was cast as Luke on Growing Pains. Eventually he started appearing in films like What's Eating Gilbert Grape and The Outsiders. Wow, a regular guy, making good on the opportunities of American, and his good looks. Ben Affleck: Born in 1972, breaks into acting with the help of his fathers connections. But after the divorce of his parents has to turn to working in small TV spots. Its not until years later, after appearing in a few Kevin Smith movies and collaborating on the screenplay of "Good Will Hunting" with Matt Damon does he break into movies and start making any real money. Gigli. Regular guy? Hmmm... mostly, except for the good looks again. But more regular than Bush that's for sure. Leo and Ben both came from middle class backgrounds. Both filthy rich now! But thanks to the brainwashing of right wing talk, we all KNOW that Hollywood is full of Satan's spawn. Texas, however, is full of brush cutting "regular guys". First, cops and firefighters are inherently conservative in that they understand the importance of following society's rules. Unlike John Kerry, they don't find "nuance" in every question that confronts them. I'm sure more than one cop might be insulted to learn that they are simpletons that lack nuance. I'm a liberal and I have never been arrested. True, there are people that don't care about laws or society, but they are usually not political in their reasons for commiting their crimes. In their daily duties they see the often-deadly consequences that result when people fail to do what society expects of them. Nearly every call to 9-1-1 is the result of someone concluding that these rules, be they the criminal laws or the fire codes, can be ignored. They did a good job of hiding it last week, but the Democrats are the party of libertinism, the price of which is well known to those who come when people call for help. Democrats are the party of law breakers. Hmm... did we forget Enron? Have we ever done surveys to verify that all the prisoners are democrats? You would think that a convention of immoral law breakers descending on a town like Boston would send it into chaos. Where were the riots, the break ins, the orgies? Yeah yeah.. I know... Clinton's room. But but...wasn't Bush once arrested for drunk driving? Maybe he's become a regular guy since then? Used to be a liberal you know? Back when he was a drunk and a coke user... skipping out on his service and selling his stocks with insider info? Bush: "Law abiding regular guy since (redacted)!" And whatever tenuous grip he [Kerry] may have had on Regular Guy status since then was lost when he married his current wife. Old-fashioned notions of chivalry prevent me from offering my full opinion on her here, but Regular Guys do not under any circumstances marry women like Teresa Heinz Kerry. Wow, I haven't heard the phrase "women like..." since my last conversation with a male chauvinist. So fill me in, what makes her a women like Teresa Heinz Kerry? Even with the piles of dough they're sitting on, both George Bush and Dick Cheney still come across as Regular Guys, the kind of men you might find hanging around the fire station or the detective squad room. And with his recent suggestion to Pat Leahy on how he might spend his idle time, the vice president climbed several notches on the Regular Guy scale. I might find Cheney hanging out at the fire station, sitting on piles of dough? A man telling another man to GFY** earns him "regular guy points" (are those like ploids?) but a women telling a reporter to "shove it" earns her "bitch points". From our Freeper buddies: That man [Kerry] looks so sissified that I can't believe he managed to have children. No wonder he has to keep having his picture taken when he's loaded down with sports stuff so he'll look masculine. They also call THK a whack job. That's values for ya! *Because we know that Lacrosse is for wimps. Skiing is for wimps. Wine is for wimps. Vietnam was for wimps too I suppose. ** Is Cheney also a member of the KTAS? |
