This is actually a picture of a veteran named Bill Moyer, 73, wearing a "Bullshit Protector" flap over his ear while President George W. Bush addressed the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention the other day in Salt Lake City. Now, how do we get a few hundred thousand pairs of these so Virginians don't have to listen to Jerry Kilgore or his spokesmen the rest of the campaign?When Rat first set himself onbard the ship of Jerry Kilgore's candidacy, it seemed a safe and secure berth. Here was a former Attorney General, with a strong southern base and high level contacts withing the national GOP.
As the ship sailed forth however, leaks sprang in the hull. Virginians discovered that Jerry Kilgore had no executive experience. His family became embroiled in a massive investigation of voter fraud in his hometown. His office was subpoenaed in an evesdroping scandal which cost his party over $750,000. He made promises to give away massive amounts of government funding, while promising to cut revenues, leaving localities to fend for themselves and leaving education to founder and fall.
As the holes in Jerry Kilgore's candidacy continued to multiply and the ship began to falter, Virginians abandoned him by the thousands. His lead over Tim Kaine was reduced to a dead heat, and the ship listed into hazardous waters of fearmongering, unwarranted attacks, and just plain lies.
Rat however, in his devotion, decided to stay with the ship of Jerry Kilgore's candidacy, as it sank and sank and sank, never to recover and ultimately to it's watery grave.
So, friends, we gather to commend our friend Rat to the depths. He was devoted, if misguided, and he will gorge himself on garbage in the land of the dead, kept company by Jerry Kilgore's political career.
The victim culture embodied in the conservative movement is just plain pitiful. Corporate elites blame liberals for everything from sex on TV to keeping God out of the courts, to keeping evolution out of schools.
Well in order: Fox (you know home of fox news) is the worst offender in terms of TV raunch, The constitution separates church and state, and evolution is being kept out of schools, because it's theology, not science.
Oh! Poor sad sorry put-upon right wingers!
Even with control of the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Media, you'll endlessly imagine that somebody's out there keepin the little guy down.
It's enough to make a red-blooded American get up, get angry, and vote his/her entire economic security system into oblivion: or 62 Million Americans.
My bleeding heart can't bleed any more for you. Now, I just debunk your projected enemies wherever you scapegoat them, and pray to God that Americans will wake up to the Big Lie.

We'd listen a lot more if so-called conservatives actually fulfilled promises.
As it is, Americans and Virginians have heard enough empty talk and it's time to dump the radicals who call themselves conservatives and keep the Democrats who actually fulfill the promises of fiscal sanity and social responsibility.
The failures of the Conservative movement have discredited its claim to authenticity for generations. Your gargantuan national debt, your new class-divided society, your politics of fear, your bloody war of choice in Iraq have all lead the nation to reaize that the ideals claimed by Conservatives are too valuable to be entrusted to the American Conservative movement.
By the way, James, I really liked this quote from your web site:
"I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents." Sir Winston Churchill
Food for thought.
Yet again, Josh, Great point!
By the way - I listen to Jerry, and then I point and laugh mostly.
Kilgore a weak candidate who can't even stand up to his opponents in a televised debate.
In case you haven't noticed, Rat, the Kilgore campaign is a sinking ship. We'll be here when you get on board with the rest of Virgina and desert it.
