Anyone looking at these two men have to agree: Bush is a really nice guy, a genuine human being and a mensch, (which is Yiddish for a man's man who will always do the right thing - even if it's real tough and very unpopular). Bush's genuineness is one reason why he beat Gore in all three debates in 2000. Bush is as warm as a Crawford summer afternoon.
Kerry is the opposite: Kerry is an aloof dissembling sanctimonious liar. Kerry is as cold as Soviet ice.
I defy anyone anywhere to find me on clip of Kerry displaying any real emotion - ever.
A stark example comes from the 3rd debate, when Bob Schieffer asked the two candidates about their wives and daughters influences on their lives.
Bush's response was at first HUMBLE - he made a joke (AT HIS OWN EXPENSE - that "the first thing the taught him was to listen!"); everyone laughed - including his wife and daughters. Then he talked about meeting Laura (again - they had been in grade school together) at a backyard barbecue friends were hosting just to set the two of them up. Bush said it was love at first sight - and he was nearly in tears. That's true love - we could ALL tell, and Laura beamed.
Kerry's response was to immediately make a joke about his wife's well known wealth - many people laughed, but mostly out of shock that he would so baldly make fun of her; Theresa did not laugh. Then Kerry went on to tell the story about his mother being on her death bed. It was told without a shred of emotion.
Now my papa died some years back - I was with him at the end. EVERY time I think about it, let alone try to talk about it I get choked up.
But Kerry? He was as cold as Soviet ice. There is not a real human being beneath Kerry's skin; he's a phony through and through - which is why he has so much trouble being consistent on anything & everything, on any policy: because he has no core beliefs -- other than to reflexively berate the US military, and favor BIG GOVERNMENT.

That's why I'm urging everyone to get as many people to watch the latest TV ad from BC'04: "WHATEVER IT TAKES."
It shows us how good and warm a human being Bush really is. It must've been hard to make - only on account of there being so many instances when Bush has shown real emotion in public - appropriate emotion, true emotion. As may have said: it's one of the reasons so many people connect with him.
There is not a single such moment in all of Kerry's career.
ANYHOW, this new TV ad is made from snippets from W's convention speech. It is so moving. And so GENUINE. So TRUE. As powerful as W's appearance at Ground Zero - when he proclaimed after the crowd shouted that they couldn't hear him: "But I can hear you! And the rest of the country hears you! And soon, the people who did this . . . are going to hear from all of us!" The crowd spontaneously shouted back: "USA! USA! USA!" That's when Bush became MY PRESIDENT.
This TV ad uses the following quote from W's acceptance speech. Here is the text of the ad (for those of you that don't have a fast internet connection). BUT REMEMBER: the text doesn't tell the WHOLE story when it comes to George W. Bush - you have to hear him or see him to KNOW how deeply felt the words are, because for George W. Bush, they're NOT MERELY words; they're how he really feels.
One can NEVER say the same thing about any spoech ever given by Kerry. Even when Kerry speaks about events SEARED SEARED SEARED into his memory. I wonder why? Heh...
Here's the text:
"These four years have brought moments I could not foresee and will not forget….I have learned first-hand that ordering Americans into battle is the hardest decision even when it is right. I have returned the salute of wounded soldiers… who say they were just doing their job. I've held the children of the fallen who are told their dad or mom is a hero, but would rather just have their dad or mom. … I've met with parents and wives and husbands who have received a folded flag and … And in those military families, I have seen the character of a great nation… Because of your service and sacrifice, we are defeating the terrorists where they live and plan and making America safer… I will never relent in defending America - whatever it takes."
With W in the Oval Office I feel - YES FEEL - that I will have a president who will never relent in defending America.
With Kerry I feel that the USA would relent to GLOBAL PRESSURE, and we would abandon the emerging democracies in Afghanistan and Iraq - maybe even toss Israel to the wolves - if Kerry felt it would increase his standing in Old Europe and in the UN (WHICH OF COURSE SCAPE-GOATING ISRAEL WOULD ACCOMPLISH; so of course we must expect it, since Kerry has said over-and-over that increasing US multilateralism is the chief aim of his foreign policy.)
WHAT ELSE CAN BE SAID?! The choice is pretty clear. One man is a mensch who will never relent. The other man is a phony who will never stop pandering or lying. Well, I choose truth, honesty, and genuineness. I choose the mensch.
