Beer and baseball show Democrat as a 'regular guy' as Gore joins the
fray

The Guardian
The Democrats made a play yesterday for crucial votes from
conservative middle America, depicting their candidate as a "regular
guy" who likes nothing better than watching baseball and shooting
geese.
In an effort to counter criticism that John Kerry is an arch-liberal
out of touch with ordinary people, he was shown gun-in-hand on a shoot
only hours after being pictured beer-in-hand for a ball game.

Campaign Reporters for Truth: I wasn't one of the members of the
traveling press that went on the hunting trip with Kerry. I am,
however, a member of the traveling press. And I can tell you that the
goose that Kerry shot was a mere gosling, wearing only a loincloth,
fleeing the scene, and that Kerry chased it down and shot it in the
back.

So, IOW, Flipper was out chasing wild geese again and now his goose is
cooked.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-

The things that will destroy us are: politics(Bush) without principle(Kerry);
pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character;
business without morality; science without humanity, and worship without sacrifice.
