When Kerry wins, how much hell are they gonna give him?
Cause let's face it, considering what they did to Clinton, they are gonna fight this presidency tooth and nail considering the right probably lost the most profitable president, for their causes, they ever had.

1. They will be all over him. Question is, how much of it will the
brainwashed sheeple believe? Will there be a saturation point?

7. I think there already is a saturation point.
Despite what the RW pundits and us cynical libs say, I've noticed that many folks close to me that have conservative leanings have just about had it with Bush.

15. But, if they pull the lever for Kerry, will they give him the benefit of
the doubt that he can do the job, or will they go back to slurping up folks like Rush Limbaugh bad-mouthing him?

18. That's the sticking point
Edited on Thu Jul-29-04 03:51 PM by Beware the Beast Man
In particular, a co-worker of mine knows that Bush is corrupt and has a horrible track record on domestic issues (not to mention my coworker is pro-stem cell research), but they swaying issue for him is homeland security. He's still under the impression that Bush is still the man...ugghh..


EDIT- wanted to add that as long as the mainstream media (excluding Faux) keeps up with its subtle lean to the right, then this could push those same folks into the Bush camp. My wife and I were just talking about this the other night, how we were hoodwinked into believing, after 9-11, that Bush somehow had a better foreign policy than Gore. We by no means took stock in Repuke punditry, but this is what we believed because the mainstream, so-called "liberal" media had that ever so subtle leaning.

2. Unrelenting, irrational, illogical and unreasonable HELL
In copious quantities.

And since they won't have anything real to be upset about, they won't hesitate to make it all up.

Deja vu all over again.

4. 2 most profitable presidents (1 future)
jeb, the real manchurian candidate, groomed for president while his brothers went off and got drunk all the time, will have no chance for running for president in '08 cause dubya will have destroyed the family name politically

5. Admit it
If Kerry wins, they will on him like white on rice.

If Bush wins, we'll be on him like white on rice.

The country is so polarized (thanks Bush) it makes little difference as to who's elected in reference to "Will they give him hell"

Either one gets it.

19. Sure we'll be on to Bush, but the media never will. And that's a huge
Problem. Especially in a second term. Considering he doesn't need to run again, expect no holds barred tyranny if Bush is elected again.

6. More than they gave Clinton.
(I know it's difficult to imagine)

Which is why we MUST have either the House or the Senate.

8. It will make Whitewater look like an amusement park.
They can't allow the intellectual tipping point be reached and the collective unconscious realize that the controlling power elite are so rabidly anti-American and against The People and have been using the media and churches to brainwash "the cattle" as they refer to us.

13. who cares. At least Bush will be gone
I'm hoping Kerry signs on to the ICC and they charge Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Fleischer (no we havent forgotten you Ari, you little asshole), McClellan, Rice, Libby, Poindexter, Tenet, and Ashcroft with war crimes so that Bush's last minute pardons don't count for shit and Kerry hands them over.

Wishful thinking? hell yeh. but i can dream right?

16. I don't think they will ever get over Watergate
Until they do, and they grow up...the attacks will continue until they eventually dissolve. It's only a matter of time before the Republican party splits with itself. Nothing that ridiculous and idiotic can last forever.

17. Clinton Times TEN
They'll investigate ketchup, the indict his wife for some trumped up shit, they'll attack anyone in his cabinet.

They'll make his life completely miserable, with the full assistance of Pravda, and if/when another fundamentalist islamic attack comes, they'll want to impeach him.

With Kerry they'll want instant results, unlike Bush who dragged his feet for 9 months, then gets a free pass from 9/11...

22. Oh, honey, it's going to be brutal.
The media whores are already whining en masse about Teresa Heinz Kerry. They'll bitch and moan even more loudly about Kerry. And the (very bad word) Republican Party is going to show just how low, mean and mendacious they can be, mark my words.

But Kerry won't lie down and take it; of that I am convinced.

24. We must bring back the fairness doctine in media
I don't know when it was repealed but it should be one of our first actions, we could sell it as a national unity program.
