Stop talking about the "Kerry cheated" nonsense!
They want us to be back on the defensive, and we're playing right into their hands.

Just call it what it is, desperation, and move on quickly.

2. Exactly - Rove can't win playing defense - which is exactly where we need
to keep them. This deserves derisive laughter and nothing more. The only people who buy it are the ones who've already bought. Leave them to it.

Kerry's got the winner meme now, whining won't get it back, *.

11. LOL - good one
Anybody who watched the debates knows Kerry wasn't referring to notes as he spoke. He was speaking spontaneously and intelligently, not according to some script or list of talking points. That's why he won. Well, that and Bush acting like a child while Kerry was talking.

20. Exactly You could see Kerry
was taking notes since he wrote, looked at Bush and listened and then went back to his note taking. Kerry doesn't need a script. I guess the people who are saying Kerry cheated don't really know Kerry at all huh? :bounce:

3. And while we're on the subject, anyone, with donor star included,
that would post that kind of crap knowing (1) that bush FAIRLY got his ass whupped and (2) rove and his dirty tricks gang will do anything to cast doubt on the first debate, needs to rethink their approach. The only people trying to circulate the lie that Kerry cheated want to nullify his victory. In other words, if you want to post that Kerry cheated, there's another website for that. Please post over there all you want. Leave us alone.

5. We're not talking about it, we're ridiculing it!
This has got to be the stupidist "excuse" the GOP/RW Lackys have thought of, and it's being laughed at as we speak..

17. Heinz not Campbell's
You are deceiving people. Kerry would never use Campbell's whoopass as long as Heinz is still making a "57" ways to whoop someone' ass version.

12. i actually LOVE this story...
this is a classic case of "overspin". even the most partisan bush-fans are going to see this as outright whining.

i'm PRAYING that they try to make this an issue!

14. My concern is that they are planninng to use this..
as an excuse to get out of the next debate.

Of course, it could just be another case of CSI:Freeperville getting way ahead of themselves.

Read the posts first, ok? NOBODY is "defending Kerry", lol. We are joking about it because it's so dumb and... it's Sunday.

15. We had better get serious about defending it and get on the defense
Edited on Sun Oct-03-04 04:37 PM by scmirage
because apparently, it's all over blogville and you know how Sludge is their other Bible. This will be a major talking point of RW radio tomorrow. And Faux, of course!

18. Cheated... Schmeated... BUSH on the other hand
arrogantly lied "on the stand" (so to speak)... to the American people - and in a forum and format in which all Americans witnessed it. He bombed and looked like a boob! Send anyone kvetching about drudges fake story the film clip of the cuts from the repub convention (where they show how many times speakers used phrases like 911... terrorist... etc.) Perspective people... bush's own performance is starting to clear the clouds in some folks' minds.

21. When Bush took office and did his oath
didn't he swear to always be honest and truthfull? So, isn't that technically still under oath? Why don't people call Bush on his lies? They sure as hell did Clinton! And Clinton wasn't off killing people! :mad:

24. I hate when people tell me what not to talk about
I think most liberals feel the same way. I honestly think this is the wrong board for telling people how to think and what to say.
