Republicans on the run!

[scottcsmith]

I've read many right-wing message boards, and they're filled with smear attacks against John Kerry. And I had to raise the question: if Bush being re-elected to a second term is such a sure thing, why the attacks against Kerry? Wouldn't they just ignore him if they were confident of Bush's chances for re-election? I think right-wingers know the truth, that Bush IS vulnerable, and recent polls show him trailing behind Kerry by as many as eight points.

My prediction: Bush will be spending a lot of time in Crawford, Texas starting in 2005.

1. The most recent poll had Kerry beating Bush 52-43

I think it's obvious what Rove's strstegy is: Bush is so vulnerable, he's going to try to destroy our nominee. It's his only chance.

2. Its politics

and anyone who didn't believe this wouldn't be the nastiest election since at least 1968 was kidding themselves.

Wounded animals cornered always fight back. We already know that Bush is an animal...

6. Bush is not an animal, he is a human with level zero emotional maturity an

and a tendancy toward violence, criminality and messianic hallucinations, likely suffers long term brain trauma from alcohol and drug abuse. I am sorry to disagree but to label him an animal, while technically true in that humans are animals, does two things:
1) makes him out to be less dangerous and crafty than he is;
2) insults all the real animals I know who by nature are both honest and pretty much laid back....

9. You must not know any grizzlies with cubs.

14. I've seen mama grizzlies with endangered cubs. . .

and I've seen cornered, desperate men. No comparison. The human has always been -- and in BushCo's case, most definitely is -- the greater threat.

[ArkDem]

20. So you'd describe the grizzly as "pretty much laid back"

Hmmmmm.

[ronnykmarshall]

3. Right wing smears on Kerry?

Stick around here, you'll swear you're in Free Republic.

[pezcore64]

10. well

instead of trying to insult people by implying some are like those on free republic , why dont you realise this is a problem? democrats and republicans alike seem to be attacking him. seems like a problem to me.

[ronnykmarshall]

13. Other than on DU

or Howard Dean, what Democrats are attacking Kerry?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

4. He already spends a lot of time in Crawford...

...so the only difference is he won't be a figurehead for Cheney/Halliburton/etc.

[junker]

5. Bush don't like crawford...the 'ranch' is a hoax/joke

they bought it for Bushies campaign in 2000. So he could appear to be a real texan...he prefers 2000 dollar suits, and the night life in Austin....not moving brush in Crawford. I predict that when he loses he don't go anywhere near crawford except to get his stuff and relocate...

[MoonRiver]

15. Too damn hot in Texas anymore. Nobody but fools and vermin

deliberately live there. Well, now there's a point. Maybe he will be spending more time in Crawford.

7. Don't believe it

You think it's going to be that easy?

The GOP hasn't even got started.

[ArkDem]

8. Yes. It's all over.

[trogdor]

11. When Bush gets beat...

...I'm going to do my best Mr. Spacely impression.

George Bush, you're FIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRED!

[nightperson]

12. What a

refreshing thread title.

[yellowcanine]

16. Wouldn't say it is "all over" but we are leading by a field goal

in the second quarter and the opposing quarterback is a little wobbly while our quarterback is looking mighty healthy.

17. They've got a tiger by the tail and they know it. Bring it on.

19. can you say Bush II? after Gulf War II...

we Democrats kick another Bush sicko out of the WH for another 8 years of Democratic peace and prosperity. Bummer for GOP leaders. Supere for the rest of America.

[11 Bravo]

21. I don't know where we'll be seeing you,

but I have a feeling it won't be at DU for more than another few minutes.
