1. they are apparently contractually obligated to say that.

Or variations of it: "Rich, smart" "Outspoken, wealthy" etc.

[tooie]

2. huh ??

3. Take a deep breath....

Cheer up man things are looking good for you guys at the moment.

In Sweden all major newspapers have carried "Kerry specials" and the speeches from last night got high marks all around!

We are rooting for you from over here - don´t fall for attempts to throw you of the track!

Send John Kerry

11. Thanks for the kind thoughts

Bush is a monster, but it's still going to be a hard fight to unseat him. He was willing to seize power illegally, his people control the major media, and people have been fed a steady stream of lies for years. I doubt he'll take defeat by the "rabble" gracefully.

The good news is that a majority of people now know they've been lied to, although they're not quite sure what the truth might be as yet and how bad Bush and his gang of thieves and religious crackpots really are.

Keep thinking good thoughts about us, and remember we're trapped with this tyrant for the time being. We didn't elect him, and anyone who isn't rich or stupid wants him gone.

5. my email to Jack..

Jack, just a thought on Teresa Kerry



Smart, funny and sultry, she is a lady who speaks her mind and her heart. It is a breath of fresh air after years and years of automatons as political spouses.



I will be thrilled with a First Lady with her compassion, wit and “pluck.” The Democrats need to stop letting the right wing media get away with mud slinging without fighting back. Go Teresa!

6. My e-mail to Jack (is she a loose cannon?)

Mrs. Heinz-Kerry is an absolute asset to the senator’s campaign... as far as thinking Americans are concerned, anyway. She is intelligent, vibrant, exotic, witty and, yes, outspoken. It seems as if your question suggests that presidential wives should somehow be held to a standard from the past—that they should do nothing but smile, hold their hands in their laps and nod approvingly. Get over it. This is 2004.

8. I can't believe you guys still watch that crap

I guess I understand needing to know what people are being told, but fuck, if you lived in the Old Soviet Union, would you watch Isvestia-Pravda all the time.

CNN is worse than Faux in many ways, because it fools more people.

But they are birds of a feather.

I won't watch.

9. Those that lived under Soviet rule...

... learned the crucial skill of reading between the lines. I find it interesting that a similar sort of thing is going on here.

10. Another woman who "doesn't want to sit around baking cookies"

Remember Hilary, circa 1992? The media tore her apart for that (and just about everything else). She survived (dare I say thrived).

Like Laura or Lynn want to sit around baking cookies either? It's just somehow Republicans think women (especially wives of candidates) should pretend like they want to be domestic princesses.

13. Strong women always take a beating

media and repubs is much happier with the frozen smile Stepford Wife look of the Nancy's and Laura's of the world. The silent, dutiful, vapid look.

14. Yeah, like this

[Paradise]

12. Ditto! n/t
