Expectations are higher for the little turd. It worked. LOL Just on MSNBC. T. Trent Gegax(?) from Newsweek was on, talk was usual what each needs to say, do.

2. How many of the 50% think Bill O'Reilly is fair and balanced?
How many think a debate involves hurling insults are your opponent?

How many think having no fucking clue about anything beyond drinking and whoring around is a good start for a debater?

82% of the people you meet have below average intellects. 75% of these vote for bush.

4. This is a good thing, It raise the expectation of * and will make it
it easier for Kerry to be seen as a winner. I had the same reaction as you but then it was explained. I think * sucks ass but with that perseption he doesn't have to do much other than not drool.

10. Good for Kerry? Maybe, maybe not.
If the majority of the populace (the 82% who are idiots) think Bush is good after having seen him in operation for 4 years, then how hard is it going to be for the Presstitutes to call it for him regardless of how badly he performs and regardless of what Kerry does?

11. How can 82% have below AVERAGE intellects??
:crazy:

Isn't "average" the middle, between 50% higher and 50% lower??

15. "median" is in the middle
So 82% could be below average. Unlikely, though.

17. Yeah, some people do cartwheels to call their fellow man stupid.
I don't see the value in it. I believe that you accomplish more when you assume the other person has a brain.

19. Yeah, give them the benefit of the doubt
Kind of a corrollary to one of my favorite Mark twain quotes:

Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. -- Mark Twain

7. Holy smokes, Kerry's doomed!
George W. Bush, master and commander of the far side of the facts, will make mincemeat out of the poor junior Senator from Taxachusetts. Kerry should just concede now, or try to keep the "debate" as short as possible, to limit the damage that George W. Bush, debater extraordinaire, will wreak on him.

If Kerry is able to escape the auditorium without shedding a pint of blood, it's probably the best his campaign can hope for.

8. They think so because the meida TOLD them so and will TELL
them so again. And they will believe. And they will vote for Bush. And they will have a bunch of "fence sitters" announce on national tv that Bush was sooooo good and Kerry was "whatever the media told them Kerry was" and, therefore, they will vote Bush. Been there done that. Of course when the votes were tallied, Gore won......

9. Good!
That's as it should be.

If Kerry is anything less than a weeping, quivering heap behind the podium at the end, it can only be considered a serious defeat for Bush.

13. Give him 60%
Edited on Mon Sep-27-04 11:14 AM by strizi64
or more in advance, that would be very nice. They should push this ratings just until the debates start. If Shrub is at 60 or more per-cent, he can only loose. Glad to see that Kerry is trailing Shrub on this matter, truely :)!

16. Jr could get up there and say
"I don't have to debate this windsurfer from Taxacheucetts. Everybody can see my administration is doing a fabulous job", and 49% of Americans would cheer.

Edited on Mon Sep-27-04 11:59 AM by Dr Fate
Kerry should be declared the winner just for being brave enough to show up!

21. True, true! * has honed his oratorical skills so keenly, he's a virtual...
one-man lingual wrecking crew. Pity those who stand before his nimble mind, his rapier wit, his canny ability to cut to the quick!

:scared:
