WOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO! Kerry NUKED him!

[tom_paine]

I was worried about tonight, I admit it.

Given the power of the Bushevik Party Loyal Sub-Media's power to obfuscate truth and launder almost ANY lie into "conventional wisdom", I worried that, no matter what happened Corporate TV Pravda would annoint Bunnypants* the winner.

And they still might, but it would be an Orwellian feat which even THEY have not yet dared, akin to selling people that 1 + 1 DOES equal 3 after all.

But it won't be easy. Kerry DESTROYED him, quite objectively.

The Imperial Cut Men will be working feverishly into the night to staunch the bleeding!

Kerry beat him like a rented mule every damned step of the way! Issues, backing him into a corner, leaving him speechless (which Gore ALSO did, but not as thoroughly or convincingly), more self-confidence, and this against an Emperor who's every word for the last four years has been sanitized, every gaffe covered up or dismissed down the Memory Hole.

Outside of Ferdinand Marcos or Joe Stalin, has there ever been a person so well covered up or with more reason to be utterly confident that, no matter what he did, that it would be ignored and he'd get away with it?

And yet, Kerry MUSHED HIM!

Now, let's not get too overconfident! We all know the power of the Bushevik Sub-Media to do their evil Orwell thing, but is it possible that this is simply too great a lie, exposed out in the open to so many people so very clearly (as in 66.6% clearly!)

We shall see...

But for tonight...this is a CELEBRATION! For those of us who have braved this long winter, and have seen the gates of Hell open before our eyes and the nightmare of Dark Age. Endured loss after loss as our Leaders grew weak and supine and cautious, while the Totalitarians chewwed us up and ate our lunch...

Tonight there is hope...a REAL hope that a person can sink their teeth into, that maybe we can turn this thing around and keep this crazy, happy Democratic-Republic together and free.

And that is cause to keep this thread KICKED!

Let us be happy NOW, whatever the future ultimately brings!

It is in the best intersts of the country that the Bush be stopped.

But enough of that... it's a CELEBRATION!

1. What was that in reply to?

I was at work - my call center job which is the only thing I can find right now thanks to Bush's economy - and heard it on the television of the person I was helping with their DirecTV.

9. Kerry was smashing him on his pathetic puny laughable "coalition"

And Bunnypants* reminded him about the mighty Polish presence in Iraq.

[gratuitous]

11. Didn't Poland recently decide to pull out of Iraq?

They have the second largest troop contingent there, but the Polish government has said no to further or continuing involvement.

Note: I didn't see the debate, so I'm not sure of the context of the "You forgot Poland" comment.

[tom_paine]

16. You know, you might be right

Which makes it even FUNNIER and STUPIDER!

[WLKjr]

2. I like to say

YOU GOT KNOCKED THE F*** OUT!



or You got China'd

[Beam Me Up]

3. I was at work and missed the debate but I am VERY VERY HAPPY

To hear this good news. And I agree, it is time to party. There is still MUCH work to do but we have earned this VERY VERY GOOD NEWS

:grouphug: :yourock: :headbang: :hi: :beer: :bounce: :toast: :party: :hippie: :party: B-) :smoke: :smoke:

4. Tom!

I had to miss the debate (our church building doesn't clean itself, and we have nationwide company coming this weekend), and I've been sampling a few threads, but by the Christ, it's good to see that you were encouraged by tonight's show.

Welcome back to the fight, my friend. This time I know our side will win.

[tom_paine]

14. I never left it, my friend!

But I am as a thirsty man in the desert for some Honest-to-God HOPE!

Tonight, I got a Big Gulp sized cup!

Almost forgot how sweet it tasted!

[blm]

5. I am deliriously happy.

I have wanted to see this for four years.

[Old and In the Way]

15. I was thinking of you, blm!

Everyone in America got to see the guy that we both know is the right man for these times in America! Cheers! :toast:

[MuseRider]

6. For the very first time

since the selection I will sleep well and deeply. Tomorrow it is time to get up and work some more but the work will be easier because Senator Kerry was there for us. He was there, the country seems to have awakened a bit so now it will be with hope and a bit of joy that the work continues. Sleep well tom_paine, I think we just might win this one. I have not had any real hope until tonight.

[ignatius 2]

7. AND this was supposed to be Bush's strong suit. Kerry will rip him a new

one in the economic debate.

I loved Kerry's last line that Americas future will be based on freedom, not fear. A double edged sword that left me gasping. In one swift move he told the world what this administration is really all about.

I am so impressed by Kerry at this point. He was articulate, informed, direct and there was a sense of strength and conviction.

Maybe, just maybe, our nightmare is coming to an end.

8. Bush could not defend his failed policies.....but we already knew that

10. yep, the sqworm was squashed.

i loved hearing the woman who was one of the first callers to c-span afterwards. she had a water count - kerry, 3 sips; the sqworm, half a pitcher! hahahaha!

[Zorra]

12. Favorite moment...hmm, there were so many...when Bu$h made a fool of

himself...

I GUESS I JUST LOVED IT ALL!!!!

Bwaaahaaahaahaaahaaa!

[Boredtodeath]

13. Kerry kicked his ass

I was worried too. But, hot damn, Kerry came through!!!!!!

Kerry pissed him off out of the gate, and Bush* never did regain his composure.

on edit:
And whoooooo hooo, when Kerry quoted Poppy Bush, I thought the pipsqueak was going to leap across the stage and smack Kerry! It was delicious.

[AlbertoMo83]

Chimpy showed who he really is

Someone who talks a lot of s**t ....but cant back it up!!! Chimpy has no spine!!! LMAO I just hope Kerry can keep this up!! :D

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[riverwalker]

17. I love you guys, I really love you.

hug kiss :grouphug:
Most of all, I love John Kerry.

[AgadorSparticus]

18. my favorite moment came early when kerry bitchslapped him with

outsourcing the job to find osama. i could have sworn i saw blood come shooting out then. my other favorite moment came towards the end when bush just flat out lost steam and kept blubbering the same rhetoric. short of running off stage, he just stopped. it was BAAAAAAD! i don't doubt that bush is crying right about now.

[EST]

34. Kicking his little chimpy feet,

sobbing his snucking little sobs.

[Chovexani]

19. Red. Ass.

[tom_paine]

22. Awesome picture!

I'll be taking that. Yoink!

[Chovexani]

26. I got it from Bartcop

Bart has the best pictures. :)

[NoPasaran]

20. Kerry beat him like a rug

This Deaniac feels a lot better about our candidate tonight.

[rumguy]

21. It was an amazing thing to see

[LibDemAlways]

23. Who the hell are the "moolas"?

Chimp is such a moron, just listening to him try to formulate a coherent sentence is entertaining, but "moolas" is just ridiculous. At times I thought I was watching an SNL skit. He was that bad.

Another priceless moment was when he said he knows how hard the Iraq situation is because he's watched it on tv. Wonder how the troops feel knowing they are mere players in the chimp's reality tv show.

[carpetbagger]

24. MOO-LAH MOO-LAH MOO-LAH MOO-LAH.

I think it's a really cool drink or something. Maybe slang for the little bugs that you feel on your body (formication) when you withdraw from drugs.

[Algomas]

27. I liked his pronunciation of Vladimir....Vladamur

I liked his pronunciation of Vladimir....Vladamur. What a total imbecile this PT Barnum side show freak is!
Or how about his mental grasping for words reflected on his face during those long pauses. He fancies himself a "war-time president". In reality, he has become a war-torn president. With luck he will become a war-criminal president on trial at the Hague.

My hat is off to Kerry!!!!!!!!!

[LibDemAlways]

28. That chummy,

first name basis thing with Putin came off as ridiculous. Sounded like bad dialogue from a Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon.

[tom_paine]

37. Well, they are both Tyrannical Dictators trying to destroy freedom

Bunnypants* probably feels a true kinship with Comrade Putin.

[The Minus World]

25. Fish in a Barrel

I tend to caution against unchecked optimism, but this is definitely cause for celebration.

Bush just got spanked like a newborn, and all of his loyalist republican pundits are clueless as to why. Their editorializing has been reduced to conceding that Kerry came across as persuasive and eloquent while their candidate was, for some strange reason, not as confident. Then, they qualify that with, "Well, Americans'll decide in November" as if polling and public opinion is only substantive when it supports their candidate.

Strange that there's so much dissension in the republican ranks right now. Maybe... just maybe it's because the facts are on our side.

[Swamp Rat]

29. Geaux Kerry!

:kick:

[Wapsie B]

30. I never cease to be amazed

that the gop picked this one out of all the rest to lead the party.
One drink for now. The real party will begin the night of November 2nd!

:toast:

[woofless]

31. I am listening for the second time.

I watched the debate live then went out and had a couple at the local. Now I am upstairs in the loft listening to the replay and NOT watching. What I am hearing is whining from shrub. Try it. Listen to the tone of voice only. He is a loser and he knows it.

Woof

[Shadowen]

32. Calm down. It wasn't a knockout.

The chumpion is against the ropes, however, and the challenger looks set to deliver another pummeling in round 2.

[Mr Bojangles]

36. I agree totally.

I don't think that the shrubs' handlers were counting on Kerry coming out swinging like he did. They undoubtedly told him to keep harping on the flip-flop "issue" because it's tied Kerry up before, thinking that JK would waste all his alotted time defending himself and not leave himself adequate time to get his points across.

Now that they know he means business, they'll be better prepared for next time.

Not trying to be a wet blanket, but this is far from over.

[tom_paine]

38. Possibly. But wins and hope have been in such short supply

I am going to enjoy it for all it's worth.

Come what may.

[Mr Bojangles]

40. Right on.

I'm just more of the optimist/realist type person, I guess.

Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

And I agree, a little hope is much better than no hope. :)

[EST]

33. The two best moments, for me

were, when, in spite of the absolute silence rule, the crowd laughed at the chump. There were lots of good moments, but those did me good.

[DemExpat]

35. Kerry was SUPERB!

Dare we have some real HOPE??????

39. Yes. For today, there is hope...

[Zero Gravitas]

41. President Kerry

Kicked Former Governor Bush's whiny little behind.

[Bandit]

42. I like when Kerry said we must separate the Warrior from the War

We support completely the warrior but not necessarily the war.

[Ishoutandscream]

43. No loyalty oaths, no pre-screened audience or questions

Bush didn't have a chance.

It...was...rich.

[tom_paine]

46. Yep. Got it on tape and will be distributing...

[frank frankly]

45. right on, Tom. well said and bravo for the human race!

48. YEE Haa Tommie Paine ....

He did good ....

[Cats Against Frist]

49. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That truly was awesome -- I was thinking "how weird is it, that after all these months of campaigning and being obsessed with the election, that they're finally on stage together."

It was a BIG, BIG moment, and Kerry delivered -- and the Chimp looked every bit the dumb asshole that I thought he would.

"I KNOW it was OSAMA that attacked us!"

Classic.

That forty percent of the population that thinks Saddam was responsible for 9-11 need to realize, if that were in ANY WAY true, that was the moment for Bush to make the case to perpetuate the LIE he's been schlocking, ever since 9-11.

I like what you said: maybe those fucking delusional freeping nutcases will wake the fuck up. I have no hope for the end-timers and really, really dumb -- but any normal person that supports this jerk-off needs to jump ship. Bush is an embarrasment, not just to them, to our whole country.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

50. common sense......PARTY!

[supercrash]

51. Hehe

The funniest shit was when Kerry accused Bush of outsourcing the job of catching Osama

[Beetwasher]

52. Right On Brother!

Right on...

53. What a beautiful post. Thank you, you made me smile.

Thanks.
