I'm sorry
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 06:25 PM by sasquatch
I recently brought up Kerry's service in Vietnam while I was criticizing him over his non-ability to fight Bush over debate scheduling and I'd like to apologize for it. The Veterans that served in Vietnam served just as nobly as any other Military veteran in any other war. I didn't mean to belittle Kerry's service but it was written in a way that some could interpret it that I was belittling his service. I also throw myself upon the mercy of his highness Will Pitt for misspelling "Connecticut"(I used one too many t's).:silly:

5. You could address the rest of this while you're at it
I can't believe this shit, the Kerry campaign allowed the Bush crime family to schedule the debates tonight. So everyone understands why this is a bad idea I'll show you what's on tv tonight

-ALCS championship series game 2
-NLCS championship series game 1


Over and above the dimwitted armchair quarterbacking you've displayed here, there is the simple fact that every debate season competes with the MLB playoffs. Period. Kerry's people negotiated the dates for these debates weeks and weeks ago, before anything was established vis a vis the baseball games.

-World Cup Qualifier soccer match US vs Panama

Soccer will acount for 0.000002% of the viewing market share tonight. Do you really think Tad Daly sat there and said, "Jeez, we'd really like to have the debate on the 13th, but oh fuck, there's that Panama game." This one was just dumb.

-West Viriginia vs Connetticut College football

'Connecticut.' Again, a tiny share of the viewing market.

Jesus Christ why not let them host the debate a 3 in the fuckin' morning John.

Hm. 66.5 million people watched the first debate, and watched John erase Bush like a chalkboard. The viewership for debates always goes down after the first one, so truly, they could have scheduled the debate for 3am. It doesn't matter. He got the job done in the first debate. And in case you missed the other debates, Bush and Cheney got their asses kicked.

I'll leave off the rest because you apologized for insulting every Vietnam combat vet who ever had to kill an enemy soldier.

6. They should've known ahead of time about the baseball playoffs
They should've scheduled it for thursday or friday when there would be only one game on and not two at the same time. What the fuck is your problem with soccer moms are you conceding them to Bush and besides I like World Cup soccer you've got a problem with that. West Virginia is a swing state bro you just can't write those people off like they're nothing.

8. sasquatch, honey, what is up your ass tonight?
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 06:37 PM by chamilto
Why are you posting all this flamebait?

BTW, the easiest way to remember how to spell the state's name is this: The first part is the word "connect" just add a "icut" at the end.

9. If they scheduled it on Friday
Edited on Wed Oct-13-04 07:07 PM by WilliamPitt
you'd be saying, "Why the fuck did wimpy ass DLC facism-appeaser Kerry schedule a debate when everyone is out partying?"

They did know ahead of time. They got for debates, and have dominated in the first three. People only watch the first one.

There's no such thing as a "Soccer Mom." It's a contrivance of the media because they don't want to say "White affluent suburban women." Even if they do exist, even if they can all be put into one basket, and even if all of them watch World Cup Soccer, the viewership ratings suggest they are a miniscule part of the populace. I guarantee that the donnybrook between the USA and Panama will not affect the debate viewership, unless you want to go down to the ten thousanth percentile of the ratings numbers.

No one is writing off West Virginia. 66.5 million people watched the first debate. Historically, the viewership goes steadily down for the second, third, etc. debates.

I think you're complaing about this nonsense because you've run out of actual things to attack Kerry for.
