2. what's really cool is the pukes are still
shitting their pants. They sound all smug "the more the better for us" and blah, blah, blah, but what it comes down to is he is the one they are afaid of. Remember how Darth Vader knew he had to face Obi Wan Kenobi? Harry Potter will have to face Voldimort? (did I spell that right?) It always come down to the best good guy. He's the best.

3. I'm tired of their posturing and meddling in our affairs.
I'm tired of them trying to influence our voters with their head fakes like "We want Dean 'cause he'd be easy to beat" and "Oh no! Not Kerry and Clark" etc. etc.

Two can play that game. When the 2008 primaries come, I think we should make it loud and clear which one of the Republican contenders we'd like to face in the GE. It doesn't matter which one it is, but it would make their heads spin; "Are they telling the truth? Then I won't vote for him... unless they're trying to use reverse psychology and I really should vote for him... damn you liberal intellectuals!"

I can see it now...

4. LOL
That's a good mental picture. And, I hate to say it, pretty accurate, at least in my personal experience. I heard someone say they liked * because and I quote this because it's too perfect not to, "He's a bad ass and he doesn't take any shit from anybody". Gawd!

5. OMG! Who ever said that is a damn fruit loop!
Edited on Sat Jan-22-05 10:02 PM by angrydemocrat
The only thing bad about * is mentality, breath, and homemade body cologne! And no he goesn't take any shit he only eats it up from all his cronies and then it comes spewing out his mouth later in a damn speech that one of his neocon cronies wrote! Give me a damn break! If some fruit loop said that shit to me I would sure as hell tell them that too! Sheesh what damn fruit loop. Of course you would have to be one to vote for one.

6. Yep, fruit loop sums it up pretty well...
actually, just a brainwashed young person. That's why I'm still working on her. She's young, she's foolish...you know. She might come around. LMAO about the breath and body cologne! I hope you never had to get close enough to it to actually smell it. ew.

7. No I havn't but..
This woman that works with my mom went to one of his rallies when her and her husband was on vaction. When she come back she was telling my mom about her trip and then got off talking about the * rally she went to.(her husband was a big * supporter she was Kerry) She was telling my mom about when the rally ended and he was shaking peoples hands she was at the wrong place at the wrong time becaues he was leaning over to shake peoples hands that was behind her and said when he did that he stunk like hell and that you would think the pesident would at least invest in deodorant. LMAO No Joke! The ladies she works with including my mom still laugh at her over it. Because everytime someone brings his name up or she see's him on TV she always say's "Oh that stinkin ass bastard again" LMAO.

She also went to a Kerry rally. She told her husband if he was going to make her go to a * rally then he had to go with her to a Kerry rally. She told my mom and the others "I can tell you one thing he sure as hell didn't stink like * did! All you could smell about Kerry was his colonge and it sure as hell didn't stink I don't know what brand of colonge that man wears but I would like to find out so I can buy Dan (her husband) some. That cologe would turn any woman on! And Kerry can actually speak to people without stuttering and saying Uh Uh. And Kerry has common sense as well as he is intelligent where * has neither!"

My mom and all her friends are nurses and they were Kerry supporters. And if you ever sat and listen to them they would make you laugh so hard. They are comical when they talk about Kerry and *. Especially since the one even got a whiff of * homemade body cologne LMAO.

8. OMG That is hysterical!
That is perfect. It's very fitting that * stinks, given everyone who has had the privilege of being near John says he smells incredible. (I'm not going to be jealous. I'm going to be happy for my incredibly fortunate friends, ahem).

10. So * stinks huh?
Somehow... I'm not surprised. I'm just glad that somebody else made this discovery, not me! I'll take her word on it too!

It fits the whole good ol' boy thing and is probably a deliberate calculation to appeal to his base... the Freeper redneck trash base, that is.. He would stick out like a sore thumb if he didn't have the same reek that they did.

13. I Agree
I will take her word for it LMAO. I will never get close enough to the bastard to find out because I would probably go to jail due to not being able to control myself from cussing his sorry ass out or even slapping the shit out of him.

11. looks like someone has been reading our forum...
"At a time when the nation remains bitterly divided and Democrats lack a national figurehead, Mr. Kerry's moves suggest that he is trying to set himself up as a kind of shadow president , a leader to the nearly 58 million Americans who voted for him."

15. someone had the balls to say it...
that we're less than impressed with the admin's sorry excuse for leadership. You cannot mow down a grass roots movement that has taken hold. It will grow back, thicker, stronger and more resiliant every time you try.

Most American's didn't vote for *. Most American's are smelling the coffee, and know that John Kerry is the man that can handle the job. He's the one who get's it. I think more people realize that than the media leads people to believe, and I'm glad the Times had the courage to say it in print.

16. well, the NYT knows that New York wanted Kerry,
that's for sure. I think that all but the far right wing would have accepted him as president. Moderate Repubs who voted for Bush would have at least felt that he was competent for the job. The more I think about it, the more I think that without the RW propaganda machine screaming about Kerry, and Bush scaring the people, that he would have had a landslide. That's my #1 thing to blame now. Not Kerry, his campaign, or even the Democratic Party. It was RW media and Bush's lies playing on peoples' fears. Now that the crap has subsided, people's minds become cleared, but too late. So we've got the cowboy for another term instead of the statesman.

17. I don't think we'll have him for 4 years
Impeachment is imminent. I feel it. OK- maybe it is wishful thinking, but there are certainly grounds for it.

26. We wanted him bad!
NY wanted Kerry so bad, he didn't even have to campaign here. We could have handed over our electoral votes last June to him.

12. I like this part
"In kind of a strange way, I think it was smart to step out on the week that Bush was stepping out," said Steve Jarding, a Democratic strategist. "He is letting people know that he's going to be in Bush's face every step of the way, and if you are John Kerry, that is exactly where you want to be."

At a time when the nation remains bitterly divided and Democrats lack a national figurehead, Mr. Kerry's moves suggest that he is trying to set himself up as a kind of shadow president, a leader to the nearly 58 million Americans who voted for him.

- "be in Bush's face every step of the way" - Hell, YES!!!

14. HELL YEAH!!
Stay in the bastards face John! Bring his ass down down down!!!

And he is our president. I hope the hell they do read our forums. If they read this one they can do a article about how * needs to invest in deodorant because people that were at his rally said he stunk! LMAO. And why there at it they can find out what brand of colonge John wears because it sure as hell turns the women on and we need to know so we can buy some for our hubbies!

20. I will have to read it tomorrow
My husband 'fixed' my computer and now it has to be cdompletely rebuilt. Sigh!

Not surprised about this though. It's a smart thing to do. Plus, in the hearings, Kerry was pissed about the A.Q. Khan thing and the non-job that the bushies are doing about nuclear proliferation. * agreed with Kerry during the debates that the possibility that a terrorist could get ahold of nuclear material and let off a 'dirty bomb' somewhere is the worst problem we face. Then* gets relected and they cut the budget for this. Duh!

We will know this to be an absolute sign when we start seeing JK hit the talk shows and analyze the talk therein. This stuff if still vintage JK, the prosecutor who was alwasy exquisite at interrogation.

I will miss the articles you post, and the stories.;-)

I go back to school tomorrow. Essay writing boot camp. Move over Maureen Dowd! (Kidding, I like her, and I love when she bashes the shrub). I won't be around as much either.:cry: I'll miss everybody.
