[Pirate Smile]

They are in Kansas City.

[Lefta Dissenter]

1. Who was the DUer

who was going to participate in one of these? Was it this one?

[Pirate Smile]

2. I think it was a Frank Luntz focus group.

[Lefta Dissenter]

5. Oh, you're RIGHT

No wonder my search didn't find it! :crazy:

[AlCzervik]

3. I was watching trying to pick the pubs

I notice they are the quiet ones.

[Pirate Smile]

4. They went through them at the beginning and said who they were for

committed or open and then there are two undecideds. They want to see the debates.

Black women and man at end of table - committed Kerry.

[AlCzervik]

6. Lady in the sweater, the one that sells greeting cards and birth

annoucements i think is the Bush column. The smart lady with glasses makes a whole lot of sense.

[Pirate Smile]

8. Frank, the engineer, gray-haired - committed Bush. He is anti-abortion

and had a problem with what Kerry did after Vietnam.

[AlCzervik]

9. I think i heard spouting off about "Family values" whatever

the hell that means. Isnt he also the one with 8 kids?

[Pirate Smile]

10. I didn't hear that part. I love the comments about Cheney. That women

next to Hart who said she saw him like a snake is an undecided Gore voter from 2000.

Whoops - there went the asshole word.

[AlCzervik]

11. That was funny.

Fertile Frank was asked by Hart what he thought was the biggest problem with Merika today and says lcak of morality and no Family values. Frank, put it back in your pants and pick up a friggin newspaper.

[Pirate Smile]

13. Did you hear that idiot women in the pink sweater who is a committed

Bush supporter say she wanted Kerry to go over to Iraq so he could understand what they are going through.

Kerry has been in a dangerous, complicated, unpopular guerrilla war. Bush is the one who has NOT.

[AlCzervik]

20. thats the greeting card lady, she's a moron.

[Paradise]

23. Ho, ho, ho! "Fertile Frank" I love it! n/t

[speedoo]

17. Frank the engineer is as far right as they come.

The guy is basically a younger version of Cheney.

[Pirate Smile]

7. Hart said there were a lot of reporters on the other side of the screen so

if this is like the last time, when this part ends all the reporters will analyze what they heard.

[spotbird]

12. "I think * is dogmatic, not religious."

The lady in the green toward the front knows more than she let on.

[Pirate Smile]

14. Yes, she is the one that saw Cheney as a snake.

[Sydnie]

15. Anybody else want to strap Jennifer to a chair and have a truthful

discussion with her?

[speedoo]

16. Seems like Kerry could get a lot votes out of this group. eom

eom

[spotbird]

18. This is a sad statement.

There ought to be a quiz at the polls.

[buycitgo]

19. now you know how Bush gets so many MILLIONS of votes

I've watched bits of several of these, and they are always nauseating

these groups prove Lincoln's famous saying only partially correct

You fool enough of the people most of the time

[high density]

21. I only saw the last 7 minutes of this

but wow... very, uhh, not good? It sounds like the GOP spin machine is working well.

[Paradise]

25. That was my thought, as well!

"the GOP spin machine is working well"

it was apparent to me that jennifer was struggling not to say 'flip-flop', knowing that would expose her indoctrination by *'s negative ads, rather than her being an independent thinker.

[spotbird]

22. Klein saying the negative campaigning is effective.

Huh, could the media be effective at parroting the Bush campaign line? These folks are in such denial that there is no hope.

[Paradise]

26. and the most shocking thing to me

is that there was a consensus among the group that things were not good in america!
NEGATIVE ADS WORK!!!

[irancontra]

24. I saw this last night... and you're gonna get depressed

those people are sooo uninformed.
waaa waaa Kerry is ambitious -he's evil and oppurtunistic.. I wonder how you got that info? Give me some facts.. uhhh uhhh uhh...he's a fleeepflooper. Nothing to base that characterization on? uhh uhhh uhhhh ehhh He's disingenuous, that's what my daddy Karlos Rovey told me to believe... now give me some of that pink stuff.

[Paradise]

27. their mental inacuity, and that of the population they represent,

depressed me terribly!
