...it is who can best explain in a simple, concise fashion to a lazy, apathetic American public just how badly The Worst President Ever is fucking them.

Kerry, as intelligent as we know he is, confused the hell out of Joe Sixpack. Shorter sound bites, less syllables.


Oh, yeah - and our guy/gal in '08 should be from The South. ;-)

1. Your contempt for your fellow Americans probably doesn't help.
Either.

6. 50% of the people didn't even vote
Yeah, contempt is warranted.

That, and 25% of the people who did vote failed to see the evident truth and voted to enable four more years.

8. 60,000,000 of them have earned contempt.
The poster is right. The average American thinks in sound bites. If you try to make a point and are unable to do so in just a sentence or two you will see their eyes glaze over and their minds go on a brief vacation. The Republicans know this, that's why they won. We seemed to think that substance was important. It wasn't. Repeating mindless unsubstantiated drivel over and over and over again, using very short sentances and buzz words, is what won the election.

2. The media has the bots throughly brainwashed.
You know Saddam did 9/11. How do we deprogram the masses with our media?

3. IF we do not have open clean elections it will not matter. Jesus Christ
would loose an election with ES&S and Diebold counting.
