What we need is a real prick running the next campaign
I'm tired of this shit that "we're better than them" horseshit as we go down in flames each time just so we can claim moral high ground.

Fuck that..when you're dealing with scumbags like Rove, you don't bring a sock puppet to a knife fight.

1. I'll do it
I swear there was more than one moment when I sincerely felt that I would do a better job than Cahill. What the fuck was she thinking when they ignored the Swiftboat thing? They always knew that Vietnam was going to be brought up, hell it was the same thing he faced in his first Senate race. They should have had a response already prepared, and that failure is inexcusable.

2. Same thing when they kept allowing Bush to claim
the high ground on protecting us against the terrists.

Shit there is so much they should have used against the prick that should have been put out for all those idiots that don't pay attention.

Things like his cutting the FBI's anti terror budget AFTER 9/11, all the counter terror experts that quit his administration because of how badly he was fucking it up (a MAJOR hit on the asshole), the cutting of airport screeners less than a year after hiring them ,attempting to put sky marshals off of trips requiring overnight trips to save money (that was available for tax cuts though) and then telling the sky marshals to NOT TELL THE AIRLINES they were supposed to be protecting!

So many ways to show just how useless he was in 'protecting' us that they never put of there for the nitwits that do not pay attention except to campaign commercials and sound bites on TV news

3. There has never been a presidential candidate that is more vulnerable
For God's sake, there were so many angles from which to attack this punk that I wouldn't know where to begin. Kerry was a fine candidate, but his campaign fucked up, there is no doubt about it.

4. Yeah, the more bad news that came out, the more his idiots
whorshipped him.

The studies proving that stupid people were his best chance to get elected have been proven to be 100% correct.

6. You can't overstate the impact of FAUX
on the stupid of the nation. They bought it all - hook, line, and sinker.

8. Bush plays to the lowest common demoninator in this country
The GOP is far better at appealing to the weakness and ignorance of the majority of voters in this country that pay no attention whatsoever to what goes on other than soundbites and misinformation from trolls like Ann Coulter and Rush Fatboy and Sean Hannity.

There is absolutely no question the media played a major role in the fucking over of America.

10. Absolutely...
They were too afriad to piss off the chimp and they were more concerned about ratings and pissing off their masters than seeking the truth.

They no longer 'report' shit..they're just another propaganda wing of the White House quaking in their boots.

11. Incompetent leadership of the campaign.
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 03:55 AM by fishface
I posted for months before the election that they needed to be beating on Bush over this 'weak on terror' attack they used against Kerry and they should have been showing just how fucked up Bushs' 'leadership' was.There was NO rebuttal to Bushs' claim of being superior for protecting us.

He allowed them to characterize him and he never fought back.

12. Cause KKKarl Rove might get mad
and all the corporate media whores and pink tutu dems run for the hills when KKKarl gets mad. There is just no way we should have lost this election. Just no way.

13. Kerry had a nice lady campaign manager
Next time I want to see a baracuda. If it is a woman, give her a face like Karl Malden and a voice like Ma Kettle. No more prep school manners. Keep it honest, but scare the hell out of them.

14. We need our own Ann Coulter/James Carville attack dog.
Someone that doesn't give a shit about being 'nice' to the repugs and doesn't worry if they don't like it.

15. Kerry showed Class
that's what my partner said about Kerry conceding the election instead of dragging it out ala 2000

my response "F**K Class - Time to kick ass"
