It's sad when Dean/Edwards people get so desperate they root for a scandal |
|
First they lower themselves to believing Drudge. Then when Kerry denies it, people dissect his words saying he didn't say this or he didn't say that or he was coughing so he's got to be lying is a sign of deep desperation.

15. OK People, let's knock this off. |
|
If you start with the fact that THERE ARE NO VIRGINS, anywhere, in any political camp, then you will start to be honest.
The spoils go to the guy who can pull it off, skate through the maze taking what ever help he/she can.
Don't lie, we all do it.
Every political camp this season has had someone somewhere pull tricks against the opposition.
Attacks can make you weaker, attacks can make you stronger.

it was very upsetting to see 50 million anti-Dean threads every time I logged in. I know exactly what you're going through. My advice is to take a Valium if you have one, or smoke a joint, then go watch cartoons for a while.

6. No one is 'rooting' for it. |

We would, hoever, like a clear, unequivocal and non-nuanced. denial. I do not intend to spend the next 8 1/2 months defending a candidate against "Clinton's Cock: The Sequel".

"There's nothing to this, heh heh heh..." is not a categorial denial. "That's a damn lie!" is a categorial denial. Period.

Edited on Fri Feb-13-04 08:32 AM by sgr2
Dean and Edwards people didn't manufacture this Kerry scandal. But now that it's possibly here, you expect people to just ignore it? Look, I've defended Kerry for the last 5 weeks against dozens of ridiculous attacks. But when something this shocking comes up, I'm not about to sit back and deny it isn't a big deal.
First off, if there's nothing to it then where is the intern in question and why hasn't she gone on the record denying it?
Second off, if there's nothing to it then why are the parents of the intern now calling Kerry a "sleazebag."
And if there's nothing to it, why did Kerry give such a, well, boring answer to a very serious question? I've come to enjoy John's aggressive liberalism, but this wasn't his finest hour.

Now Kerry has to go around denying every none story. Okay I get it. So when someone claims Edwards kicked there dog you want Edwards to respond to it. GOOD GRIEF

42. A sex scandal with an intern is not a "non-story" |
|
And for the record that's a lie, Senator Edwards has protected the rights of animals his entire life and anyone who would suggest otherwise is either delusional or flat-out making stuff up.
See, that wasn't so hard eh? :-)

It is good to get this all out in the open. This is what I was told by Kerry supporters several months ago. We must test the candidates or they can't hope to run against the bush machine. It's all good demdem.

which proves the point ... if the media can make a fuss about it, but Dean is still an electable candidate in the race, then the same holds here.

Wishful thinking?
Dean was painted as "angry"-- and how fucking ludicrus is that? Anger is the incentive behind ABB for crissakes. That is all they could trip Dean up with--there is no sleeze.

and totally supportive of his bs answer.
Kerry did NOT deny the story.
He said there WAS no story.
and THAT is a blatant lie, because...
there IS a story.
One of Imus guys said something about Imus seeing the Easter Bunny running across the studio when Imus said he believed Kerry

And I'm worried about this. My fate, the fate of the party and the nation, likely rests with the ability of the presumptive nominee to attain the White House. You'll have to forgive me if my concern supercedes partisanship for your candidate.
