T-Boon Pickens turning clean fuels dirty

Seeing and hearing T-Boon Pickens going on about ‘his’ plan for saving America just turns my stomach. How that bloke expects (a good deal greater than half) the American population to forgive and forget his almost criminal attacks of a genuine US hero in John Kerry.

This bloke didn’t fight in any war himself, he’s never served in the US military. Although he turned 16 in May of ‘44, and was 18 in ’46, a time when the world needed rebuilding and large areas needed stabilizing, this great patriot didn’t sign up to the military, or look for a way that he could help his nation. In fact Pickens has never served his country in any capacity, he’s only ever served himself.

Still, he had the audacity to attempt to defame a true American hero by lying about his service. He financed nasty, disingenuous ads aimed at misleading the American people about John Kerry, and those actions should not be forgotten.

Those ads were part responsible for tipping public opinion away from Kerry and helped gift Bush a second term. It’s hard to imagine another presidential term that has done so much damage, as the last four years of the Bush administration. Those extra four years destroyed this nation’s world standing, plunged this nation’s economy into the worst recession, and quite possibly has been responsible for allowing irretrievable damage to be done to our planet’s ecology.

The man is a disgrace.

The ads would’ve been dirty and lowbrow had they contained the truth, but to lie about a man like John Kerry is unforgivable.

As I’m sure you all remember he was at it again less than a year ago, last November, probably around the same time he was recording his hot air ads. To get himself back in the public eye this narcissist claimed he would pay anyone a million bux if they could disprove a single one of the allegations contained in his slanderous Swift Boat ads. Not surprisingly John Kerry took Pickens up on his offer, saying that he’d donate the bux to injured veterans. But, even though Kerry categorically disproved the allegations, Pickens, as it seems is his nature, went back on his word, changed the rules of the bet, and refused to pay until John Kerry offered up all his wartime journals, home movies, and his entire military records.

Now Pickens has the gall to appeal to the American people he has cost so much, and expect that he be taken at his word, what a load of bollocks!

I loath his wind ads, for me he’s single-handedly made clean fuels dirty. So he books a multi-million dollar ad campaign, that somewhere along the line the American people will end up paying for, and unsurprisingly it attracts some attention. Next thing he’s appearing on all the usual pseudo-political shows, and I figure I’ll see what he has to say for himself, maybe he’s had an epiphany. But alas no, whenever he’s reminded of his swift boat attacks on John Kerry, he tells us that it was a ‘long’ time ago, and jokingly adds he’s 80 now and can’t remember 4 years ago. But, Pickens you were at it less than a year ago!

I don’t want someone like this anywhere near the American people‘s natural resources, he’s already filled his boots with enough of our resources and got rich off the labors of the American people, he’s stripped too many assets and destroyed too many dreams. The last thing the American people need is another self-serving, money grabbing corporate pirate, high jacking its resources. It’s time to let him know he can crawl back under the rock he came out of.

Cheers, I needed that off my chest.
