You're going to LOL at this email from a proud dad of 19yr old on Kerry

[RamboLiberal]

I think you (and maybe your readers) will be interested in a personal experience I had last night while watching the debate.
My 19 year-old (former foster) son, who has never been interested in politics, sat down with me and began silently watching about 10 minutes into it.

About half an hour later he turned to me and said, "Dad, am I able to vote?". I told him he would have to register but that yes, he could vote. I asked who he wanted to vote for, and he said "Kerry's the tall dude, right?". I said yes, and he said, "I'd vote for Kerry".

I asked him why, and he replied, "Because, I can tell if they were both captured by terrorists Kerry would keep telling them to go f*** themselves, and Bush would cry like a baby and tell them anything they wanted to know".

Today we registered him to vote.

And yes, this is a true story.

Isn't it funny how anyone with just the slightest bit of horsesense can just TELL that Dumbya is no good just on sight? He just oozes negativity.

12. Haha that kicks ass

:) Glad for that. GO KERRY! Bush would definietly cry his eyes out and wimp-out no matter what it'd do to us.

13. Hell Yeah!!

[Julien Sorel]

14. Perfect!

My own test is, if someone were of age in, say, 1962, would they have been for segregation, or would they have been down in Mississippi registering voters and putting their lives on the line? Has Bush ever put his life on the line for anything? It's the ultimate character test. Bush has taken the easy way literally every step of his life. He'd have shrugged about segregation, and if he'd been involved in politics back then, he'd have gone with the flow -- whatever was politically expedient.

15. Great! And probably right on, given that the tall guy said "send me,"

while the short guy didn't even stay the course at home.

16. Kerry was fully himself last night: straight, upright, strong, and calm

and he will win votes because of it. Kerry has the advantage, because his strengths are rooted in his true nature. All Kerry has to do at the debates is be himself, because he is eminently qualified to lead the nation.

bush was unable to fully disguise who he was last night: crooked, confused, weak, and nervous. He will lose votes for it. bush is at a disadvantage, because his strengths are rooted in deception. bush must sustain this deception, because his entire career is built upon an ability to disguise his miserable failures long enough to worm his way into a position of power.
