*ucker Carlson's Desperation
Watching the Sunday shows, and BowtieBoy did a little standup editorial--he basically exhorted people refrain from voting on November 2nd if they don't feel strongly about either candidate.

*ucker went on to say that your vote is more or less your endorsement and approval of everything a candidate stands for. He recommended that if you can't agree with everything a candidate espouses, then it's better not to vote at all.





I love the smell of desperation in the morning!

4. Actually that's a GOOD thing
There are MANY MANY "traditional" conservatives that hate Bush but can't stomach Kerry. If they stay home, we win!

5. I don't agree with what he says, but
if he can keep the Bushbots out of the voting booth, more power to him.

7. Freepers and other Bush supporters take Tucker's advice.
Kerry supporters, get out and vote. Then get your family to vote. Then get your friends to vote. Then get your neighbors, even strangers to vote. And finally inform all the Bush supporters of Tucker's words.

8. Oooo good!!!
That's just what I've been telling soft bush supporters ALL this time: "I hope you support all his environmental rollbacks, too." "I hope you are against women's reproductive rights." "I hope you like a president who spends like a drunken sailor--imagine him as a lame duck!"

I vary it according to what I know about the soft bush supporter...I use the last one on conservatives not happy with his fiscal irresponsibility, etc.

Good deal!

10. Well, that's good, condidering his audience.
I've heard several interviews with * voters who have reservations about the Iraq war.

Who else but * supporters would listen to a bow-tied sniveling 4-year-old-going-on-40 whiner?

Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 10:55 AM by Pithy Cherub
be an absolute perfect candidate in *ucker's bowties' lifespan! Can we count on him never to cast a vote again? Far be it, to have a concept of your own beleif system and take the time to assess the candidates that come closest to it.

He is a one issue voter - it all about him! Jon Stewart permanently removed all the working synapses left in his lazy head!

12. I think that is his way of telling Republicans not to vote
I can not believe even the most diehard Republican can be happy with every single thing Bush* has done or said.

13. Essentially, he's saying you should almost NEVER vote...
considering there aren't many who agree with EVERYTHING a particular candidate stands for.
