Who thinks the Repugs will get really, REALLY nasty???
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 12:00 AM by devilgrrl
I've got a feeling their convention is going to be one huge hate fest and fear will be its main theme.

Fixed the headline :-)

Nope.

30. They actually think that they have Bush's "record."
If I were them, I wouldn't be bragging about that. He's fucked up everything he's touched all of his miserable life.

2. Demagoguery and the politics of hate are all they've got.
Their time is over. Time for the human beings to take over.

4. Yes
They know John Kerry is going to put them out of a job and they will be doing whatever they can to make him look bad. However, Americans tend not to like negative campaigns, as it has shown in past years.

6. Speaking of which
I think the dems floated that Bush bashing was outlawed and tricked the media. It was a nice move.

They have not stopped the flow of hate since Newt was speaker.

10. That's all they got
We've got the politics of hope and optimism for a better America, they've got Dick Cheney the oil executive talking out of the side of his mouth about how Al-Queda is hiding under your bed and wants to kill you.

12. ...and this would be somehow different than ....?
business as usual - Kerry defined himself and Bush and we can expect Bush to react in the small manner as defined by Kerry. It was beautiful what he did - Bush can not get out of the little box Kerry put him in. I love it.

27. That was the brilliance of this convention
wasn't it?

First rule of campaigning-NEVER EVER let the other guy define you.

Uh oh boosh. Trouble in Crawdad.

16. They have many mouthpieces. The convention will be OK, but
Rush, Fox, the Washington Times, and all the Senators and Congressmen will attack over and over again.

17. Even though Kerry said to take the high road
Bush doesn't care what anyone thinks of him and will take the lowest road possible, and Kerry has said he won't fight back.

28. Kerry didn't say he won't fight back,
and anybody who thinks he won't doesn't know Kerry. He'll just fight smarter and more effectively. He already put them in a box with his speech tonight, and if they don't stay clean (they won't), he will righteously smash them. Roveco has just never taken on anybody like Kerry. Kerry already knows how Roveco fights, and he's six steps ahead of them. You just watch.

You mean it's gonna get worse?

Will I have to hear about Teresa's lesbian orgies and Edwards' Carolina drug cartel stories for the next eight years? Shit.

19. Of course they will.
They know no other way. They will scratch and claw right up to the last minute. Don't put anything past them because nastiness is a way of life for them.

20. do bears shit in the woods?
of course they will do what comes naturally to them.
Expect lots of appearances before "tame" audiences of freeper strongholds with vetted attendees and military bases. All so we can see he's "popular"

And then the mouth will open and the shit will gush forth. The creature can't help himself.

21. I don't think they have any other options...this convention took away...
...every option they had.

And Kerry tossed a perfect game tonight...he was hitting on all cylinders and is ALREADY acting Presidential. FratBoy can NEVER hope to match that performance.

25. Look for them "thwarting" a terra-ist attack right before or during it
Just to prove that terra-ists everywhere are afraid of George Bush. And, hey, there was no attack (real or imagined) tried during the DNC that must means terra-ists support Kerry.

What you're going to see is a bunch of smirking little shitfaces...they'll act like they don't have to take Kerry and Edwards seriously. What other choice do they have. If they do take J&J on, they got nothin'...Only problem is...the rest of the country is waking up to their vapid, smug "we got ours" and screw the rest of you attitude.

Time for us to saddle up and ride...we've got em on the run!!!

PS - Did anyone else get a kick out of them playing Johnny B Goode during the closing festivities! Go, Johnny, go go go...

that is the only weapon they have, and what a powerful weapon hatred is.

Fucking Conservatism is a shit philosophy...I was embroiled in it for 15 years...They will run from that fallacy as quick as I'd run from a sandwich with cat turds in it.

The "officially sanctioned" stuff (on Bush's Web Site) is un-frikkin-believable.

I saw a l-o-n-g Edwards-bashing piece there today. Ed Gillespe has been in overdrive for the last four days. I think it will only get worse, while Bush attempts to "run on his record" and Kerry gets busy on his presidency.

If there's another attack (MIHOP or not), the Dems will crucify the Repugs 'cuz it will prove that Georgie is SUCH a collosal failure that he can't save anyone from squat!

those fucks are already very desperate, and the MIHOP is probably already in the works- more than likely the West Coast this time.

Do bears shit in the woods?
Is water wet?
Is the Sahara dry?
Does it get cold in December in Minnesota?

You get the point.

47. These people are so sadly predictable
It's obvious they're going to get dirty. They don't know any other way of running an election.

Fortunately, they're not creative so we know they'll recycle the same crap that was used against McCain and Gore. Watch for it.
