All you doom and gloom whiners were wrong last week too.

[MoonRiver]

You were wringing your hands worrying yourselves into fits about how * was definitely going to win, or the whores were going to spin it that way. "Oh, no the sky is falling, the sky is falling!" Well, guess what he LOST, and the media even reported the truth about his disastrous debate performance. The same thing, or a close facsimile will happen tonight, imho. He's just not smart enough to know how to win. Even if he gets total softball questions, the guy is only capable of repeating about 4 sound bites for answers. He has no real grasp of the facts and he is going to end up stammering or saying nothing for one and a half minutes every time he's expected to give an informed, presidential 2 minute answer. Anyway, them's my 2 bits. I'm getting pretty tired of all the negativity toward Kerry and statements about how great * is going to do tonight.

[Catfight]

1. I will say it again, Kerry is a winner because he IS a winner. A debate

won't change that he is a winner in life, he only needs to be himself and express his beliefs. America wants the truth, Bush supporters like the dark, they are hopeless, go after the voters that just need a REASON to vote!

[MoonRiver]

8. Exactly!

I do not believe that the majority of Americans want a stupid president, ESPECIALLY in a time of war and economic hardship. Jesus H. Christ, people want the best man for the job! That is clearly Kerry. * is dumb and Kerry is brilliant. No amount of spinning or red line drawing, or softball answers is going to change those obvious facts.

2. Kerry will win this tonight

but * just won't be as bad as he was. That has got to be the worse debate performance in the history of presidential debates so it may not be as stark a difference.

[MoonRiver]

10. Why do you say that?

Why couldn't he be worse or just as bad??? Do you have a crystal ball?

[sangh0]

3. It's always the same people

predicting disaster.

[bush equals idiot]

4. Yes

But we're ten points behind. Remember...re-e-emember. Ten points.

Roy Jones was cocky going in too. He landed looking up at the lights.

No let ups my friend. NONE!!!

[Lefta Dissenter]

7. Who's ten points behind,

and who's letting up? :shrug:

[cheshire]

5. The whiners are pretty quiet this week. It's pleasant.

[MoonRiver]

11. Not today. They're out in force.

[RoundRockD]

6. I don' t think that your'e reading the posts correctly.

Most of the posters, including myself, don't think that Bush will be great tonight. What we are saying is that all he has to do is show up and the media will proclaim him to be the winner.

Kerry is a very capable and intelligent debator and I have the utmost respect and confidence in him.

[MoonRiver]

13. But that did not happen last week!

I admit I was surprised about how bad he did and the fact that the media reported his performance factually, but those things happened.

One more thing to remember. The oldest and most reliable tenet in psychology is that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

14. Mainstream media has not been all that kind to

the chimp. I think they sense blood in the water and are going after him.
He has intimidated the press all this time. beyond a few media whores on Fox and CNN... I am not feeling a whole lot of love out there.

All he has to do is show and reveal more of who he really is - with out his phalanx of haldlers holiding him up

[trumad]

9. ROTF

99.9 percent of the Bush is going to win threads were spoofs... Didn't you get the meme?

[Walt Starr]

12. I;'m in major doom and gloom mode and I won't even watch the debate!

If I'm not in doom and gloom mode or I watch the debate, I'll lay a jinx on the whole damn thing!

:::::spits in hands, circles his desk three times and bows to the East::::::

[Guaranteed]

15. Look, folks, just KEEP EXPECTATIONS LOW. nt

[LSK]

16. And it was the SAME Bush as always

The SAME Bush in the debate was the SAME Bush who has been giving speeches to his base all year.

HE ISNT GOING TO CHANGE.

[bush equals idiot]

17. Keep the champagne corked until election night.

And keep your hip boots on. I'm trying to give good advice here. Think who we're dealing with.

[MoonRiver]

19. If we lose it won't be because * "won" any debates!

Imho, the only way we "lose" is through bbvs and massive Repuke fraud.

[Hans Delbrook]

18. Take a look

Big John does not look worried.

20. I'm glad we were pessimistic

even though we know we're psyching ourselves out, the expectations game still works. Kerry's win was extra special after our pessimism.

Remember, Bush is a master debator! He will kick Kerry's ass tonight! :-)
